As a core component of human-machine interaction, touch screens have been widely used in robot systems in multiple industries such as 

industry, medical, agriculture, and logistics. Their intuitive operation, real-time feedback, and flexible configuration capabilities have 

significantly improved the intelligence level and operating efficiency of robots. The following are specific application scenarios and case 

analyses:

Industrial manufacturing

1. Collaborative robots

Application scenarios: assembly lines, quality inspection, and material handling

Functions: Setting task parameters (such as gripping force and path planning) through the touch screen, real-time monitoring of robot 

status (such as load and temperature), and support for fault diagnosis and rapid maintenance.

Case: The collaborative robot is equipped with a 7-inch touch screen, and the operator can adjust the end effector movement through 

touch to achieve precision assembly.

2. Automated welding robot

Application scenarios: automobile manufacturing, steel structure processing

Function: The touch screen integrates a welding process library (such as current, voltage, and welding speed), and the operator can quickly

 call preset parameters and optimize welding quality through a real-time monitoring interface.

Case:The welding robot is equipped with a 10.4-inch touch screen, which supports multi-axis linkage control and welding trajectory preview.

Service and retail industry

1. Catering service robot

Application scenario: restaurant food delivery, hotel delivery

Function: The touch screen is used as the user interaction interface, supporting order confirmation, route selection, voice interaction

 (such as "Please take the meal"), and displaying the robot's battery and task status.

Case: The robot is equipped with a 15.6-inch touch screen, and customers can select dishes or view restaurant information by touch.

2. Retail shopping guide robot

Application scenario: shopping malls, supermarkets

Function: The touch screen integrates product recommendation algorithms (such as personalized display based on user historical behavior), 

supports virtual try-on/trial (such as clothing, cosmetics), and updates promotion information in real time.

Case: The robot provides AR makeup trial function through the touch screen, and customers can intuitively compare the effects of different

 color numbers.

 Medical and health field

1. Surgical assistance robot

Application scenario: minimally invasive surgery, remote operation

Function:The touch screen is used as the main control interface, supporting surgical instrument selection, 3D image navigation, and force feedback 

adjustment. Doctors can zoom in and out the field of view or mark lesions by touch.

Case: The surgical robot is equipped with dual touch screens, and the surgeon can adjust the robot arm movement and energy parameters 

in real time.

2. Rehabilitation training robot

Application scenarios: hospitals, rehabilitation centers

Function: The touch screen displays patient motion data (such as joint angles, electromyographic signals), supports the formulation of

 personalized training plans, and improves patient participation through a gamified interface.

Case: The rehabilitation robot is equipped with a 10.1-inch touch screen, and patients can select training modes

 (such as gait simulation, balance training) by touch.

Agriculture and environmental protection

1. Agricultural picking robot

Application scenarios: orchards, greenhouses

Function: The touch screen integrates crop recognition algorithms (such as fruit positioning based on deep learning), supports picking 

parameter settings (such as gripping force, shearing angle), and displays operation progress.

Case: The picking robot is equipped with a 7-inch touch screen, and the operator can adjust the picking strategy to adapt to different 

varieties by touch.

2. Environmental monitoring robot

Application scenarios: sewage treatment, air quality detection

Function: The touch screen displays sensor data (such as pH value, dissolved oxygen, PM2.5) in real time, supports abnormal alarms and 

historical data queries, and can remotely control sampling equipment.

Case: The monitoring robot provides water quality analysis reports through the touch screen, and users can export data to the cloud for 

further analysis.

Logistics and warehousing industry

1. Automated guided vehicle (AGV)

Application scenario: warehouse, factory

Function: The touch screen is used as a task scheduling terminal, supporting path planning, task allocation, power monitoring, and can 

work in collaboration with other AGVs.

Example: Equipped with an 8-inch touch screen, the operator can adjust the handling priority or emergency obstacle avoidance by touch.

2. Intelligent sorting robot

Application scenario: Express delivery center, e-commerce warehouse

Function: The touch screen integrates the package identification system (such as barcode/QR code scanning), supports the configuration 

of sorting rules (such as by destination, weight), and displays sorting efficiency statistics.

Example: The sorting robot updates the sorting tasks in real time through the touch screen, with an error rate of less than 0.01%.

Education and scientific research field

1. Educational robot

Application scenario: School, training institution

Function: The touch screen is used as a programming teaching interface, supporting graphical programming (such as Scratch) and code 

editing. Students can control the robot's movements by touching and dragging modules.

Example: The robot is equipped with a 4.3-inch touch screen, and students can intuitively learn the principles of robot kinematics.

2. Scientific research robot

Application scenarios: laboratories, research institutes

Functions: The touch screen integrates the experimental parameter configuration interface (such as temperature, pressure, reaction time),

 supports real-time data recording and curve drawing, and can remotely control the experimental process.
