几则并不起眼的招聘消息，最近在天合的官方招聘中出现。从中可窥见的是，这家以新能源为主业的企业，正在试探性地进入环保清洁机器人等领域。能源一号注意到，天合正在热招的是与洗地机器人有关的研究设计人员职位，其职位的具体表现是底盘机械结构高级工程师（下称“底盘工程师”），导航系统高级工程师（下称“导航系统工程师”）等。“底盘工程师”的招聘消息显示，公司希望有关人员可以熟悉无人驾驶洗地机和其他机器人的机械机构设计，参与机器人产品的需求分析，负责指导外包团队进行产品工业设计工作的跟踪与推进，负责机械机构问题的定位与解决，包括质量回溯和改进。机械组件组装生产方案设计及工厂流水线问题处理等也属于该类人员的职责范畴内。而在“导航系统工程师”方面，该公司希望工作人员可基于PC端，对机器人定位导航运动控制系统优化、移植和扩展。同时，该类技术人员可以进行室内外激光视觉SLAM定位导航算法的模块化导入；对机器人导航运动路径进行规划（包括局部和全局的路径规划）；对接机器人嵌入式运动控制系统的开发与调试。这两个职位看似并不起眼，且会有读者觉得，这可能只是天合内部使用洗地机器人的所需。不过，如果真的只是其内部业务所需，其实可以直接从外部进行采购洗地机产品，而不是必寻求完全懂行的技术、设计人员，并对这类机器人的产品需求展开分析。因此，天合确实是有意在布局环保清洁机器人领域。

     尽管天合的大部分业务收入来自于光伏，但近几年该公司也在尝试各种新业务的发展。如智能微网、能源管理、锂电储能产品系统等开发等都是该公司探索与实践的方向。目前，天合光能已完成了能源物联网云平台和能源管理平台MOTA的开发与应用，在国内较早实现能源物联平台与工业物联平台的融合，并应用于麦德龙等多个全国卖场。而TrinaMOTA智能微网综合管理控制信息服务平台，则是基于分布式、组件化等高可扩展性架构设计的综合能源管理平台。整体来说，企业希望在国内率先实现发、储、配、用及充等泛能源的应用全覆盖，从而消除信息及应用孤岛并打通能源应用平台。

        此次天合所看重的机器人导航、无人驾驶清洁环保设备等的研发，与以往定位的“能源物联网”新业务有所不同：其视角相对更开阔，注重广泛的应用场景并对接了前瞻性技术，且属于机器人行业。它与新能源产业既有相通之处，更可被解读为天合光能在选择尝试崭新的工业产品线，从而为企业进入环保类的机器人市场拓宽道路。据介绍，无人驾驶的洗地机更偏向于室内地面的保洁，有的产品配备了超大容量的锂电池，具备数小时的超长续航能力，并且需要配之导航技术和定位、地图等技术。它可以自己来规划清扫的路径，而且可以实现避障及绕行清扫等功能。它所应用的领域包括了高铁、机场、各种场馆、工业工厂内、商场超市、办公大楼等建筑。目前，天合官方并未对无人驾驶清洁设备的研究与开发等进行公告，上述内容还有待公司确认。

Several unremarkable recruitment news recently appeared in TRW's official recruitment.From this can be seen, the new energy for the main business of the enterprise, is tentatively into the field of environmental protection cleaning robot.Energy No. 1 noted that TRW is looking for research and design positions related to the robot floor washing, including senior chassis mechanical structure engineer (hereinafter referred to as "chassis engineer"), senior navigation system engineer (hereinafter referred to as "navigation system engineer"), etc."Chassis engineer", according to recruitment company hope that relevant personnel can be familiar with the unmanned cleaning machines and other mechanical mechanism of the robot design, participate in robot product demand analysis, to be responsible for guiding the outsourcing team to track product industrial design work with the propulsion, responsible for mechanical agencies positioning and solve the problem, including back and improve quality.Mechanical assembly and production plan design and plant assembly line problem solving are also the responsibilities of this type of personnel.In terms of "navigation system engineer", the company hopes that the staff can optimize, transplant and extend the robot positioning and navigation motion control system based on the PC terminal. At the same time, this kind of technicians can carry out modular import of indoor and outdoor laser-vision SLAM localization and navigation algorithm.The robot navigation path planning (including local and global path planning);Development and debugging of embedded motion control system for docking robot.These two positions may not seem like a big deal, and some readers may think that they are only necessary for TRW's internal use of floor washing robots.However, if it is really only needed by its internal business, it can actually purchase the floor washing machine products directly from the outside, rather than seeking fully knowledgeable technical and designer, and carrying out analysis on the product demand of this kind of robot.Therefore, TRW is really intended to layout in the field of environmental cleaning robots.

While TRW derives most of its revenue from PV, the company has been experimenting with new businesses in recent years.Such as intelligent micro grid, energy management, lithium energy storage product system and other development are the direction of exploration and practice of the company. At present, Trina Solar has completed the development and application of the energy Internet of Things cloud platform and the energy management platform MOTA, which is the first time to realize the integration of the energy Internet of Things platform and the industrial Internet of Things platform in China, and has been applied in many national stores such as Metro.The Trinamota intelligent micro-grid integrated management and control information service platform is a comprehensive energy management platform designed based on distributed and component-based high scalability architecture. On the whole, the enterprise hopes to be the first in China to realize the full coverage of the application of pan-energy such as power generation, storage, distribution, use and charging, so as to eliminate information and application isolation and open up the energy application platform.

The research and development of robot navigation and unmanned clean and environmental protection equipment that TRW focuses on this time is different from the new business of "Energy Internet of Things" that has been positioned in the past: it has a broader perspective, focuses on a wide range of application scenarios and connects with forward-looking technologies, and it belongs to the robot industry. It has something in common with the new energy industry, but also can be interpreted as Trina Light can choose to try a new industrial product line, so as to expand the road for enterprises to enter the robot market of environmental protection. According to introduction, unmanned ground washing machine is more inclined to indoor ground cleaning, some products are equipped with super-large capacity lithium battery, with a few hours of ultra-long endurance ability, and need to be equipped with navigation technology, positioning, mapping and other technologies.It can plan its own cleaning path, and can achieve obstacle avoidance and detour cleaning and other functions. Its applications include high-speed rail, airports, various venues, industrial factories, shopping malls, supermarkets, office buildings and other buildings.At present, TRW has not officially announced the research and development of unmanned cleaning equipment, which has yet to be confirmed by the company.
