Artificial intelligence is no longer expensive, and robots have entered the home

What is artificial intelligence? Someone pointed out, “Just like the steam engine was to the first industrial revolution, electricity was to the second industrial revolution, and digitalization was to the third industrial revolution, intelligent changes driven by artificial intelligence are triggering the fourth industrial revolution. It will profoundly change our future lifestyle, work style, and even the entire society. "The world is quietly changing, and Geek Dad feels that we are likely to be witnesses of this historic era.

Juniper Research, a well-known American research institution, has predicted that in 2015, there will be one robot for every 25 American households, and by 2020, this number will increase to 1 for every 10 households. What about in China? Many people will definitely ask: At what point will robots no longer be technological products that we need to look up to, but can they truly enter the homes of ordinary people?

This is indeed a very meaningful moment. As early as 2016, the first China-made home service robot "Fabo" was officially launched to the public On sale, artificial intelligence products have officially entered ordinary families. Prior to this, there were no service robots in China that could truly enter people's homes.

"Xiaopang" is a robot jointly built by Beijing Evolver Robot Technology Co., Ltd. and the Robotics Research Institute of Beihang University. It integrates the three major functions of education, entertainment and service, and is divided into small household intelligent robots. There are two directions: fat and service robots for industry users.

1. Home Intelligent Robot Xiaopang

The biggest feature of "Xiaopang" is the educational function specially developed for children aged 4-12: in addition to In addition to basic courses in Chinese, mathematics, and English, Xiaopang can also answer all kinds of weird questions from children, and can also engage in "brain-opening" interactions with children.

In addition, "Xiao Pang" has a map navigation function based on artificial intelligence. Through visual and ultrasonic obstacle avoidance technology, Xiao Pang can obey commands and help turn on and off air conditioners, TVs and even lights. It can also transport some items at close range. Small items. Behind this is the use of aerospace-based coordinate calculation, map creation, mileage calculation and other technologies. These technologies are currently rare in service robot products around the world.

Wei Ran, CEO of Beijing Evolver Robot Technology, said that the "Little Fatty" with massive resources is 1.024 meters tall, which is almost the same height as a 4 or 5-year-old child. This design also takes into account " With the role positioning of "Growth Partner", we hope that Xiaopang can become a good partner in family life and a good helper in parent education. Robots have officially entered families and become children's growth partners. This may also symbolize a new change in Chinese family lifestyles.

2. Business service robot Xiaopang

In addition, Beijing Evolver Robot Technology also launched a service robot "Xiaopang" for industry users ”, which has powerful functions such as voice chat, encyclopedia explanation, transporting items, intelligent control of home appliances, video chat, intelligent projection, electronic navigation, somatosensory games, etc., providing more intelligent work assistance to industry personnel.

Next, Evolver Robot Technology will also expand its business lines around different application scenarios of service robots, and successively launch desktop and sweeping robots, allowing intelligent robots to enter more fields and penetrate into people's lives. among.

In September 2017, Beijing Evolver Robot Technology announced that it had received 100 million yuan in A+ round of financing. Since then, Evolver Robot has been valued at more than 1 billion yuan and entered domestic services. The first echelon of robots.

In the future, Wei Ran revealed that Evolver Robotics hopes to establish a complete ecosystem of "robot body + application solutions" and will increase research and development efforts in both cognitive navigation systems and emotional operating systems to provide services for the entire industry. The service robot industry provides low-cost, anthropomorphic navigation overall solutions and advanced operating systems. This means that "every home has an intelligent robot" will no longer be an expensive and unreachable dream.
