Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 306: The technology is too advanced to be launched on the market
On January 13, Zhiyun Group held a unique press conference: the artificial intelligence robot press conference.

Although it was not a commercial product launch conference, it still attracted a large number of media reporters' close attention.

After all, this is Zhiyun's product launch conference, and any news related to the word Zhiyun will inevitably attract traffic.

What's more, this product launch conference was hosted by Xu Shenxue himself.

Throughout the year, there were numerous press conferences and news conferences held by Zhiyun Group and many other companies under Xu Shenxue, but Xu Shenxue rarely participated in them, let alone hosted a press conference himself.

At this stage, the only two press conferences that Xu Shenxue can personally host are Zhiyun’s flagship phone launch and HaiLian Auto’s new model launch.

Even the Zhiyun autumn launch conference, that is, the C series and A series mobile phone launch conference, the winter computer product launch conference, and the spring launch conference for tablets and smart watches, etc., were all hosted by Xu Shenxue himself.

However, this robot launch conference was hosted by Xu Shenxue himself.

To the outside world, this is just news of some importance.

Many media outlets would come from far away to attend the press conference, even if it was just for the presence of Xu Shenxue, and provide comprehensive coverage of the conference.

However, the core of the report is not the product, but Xu Shenxue himself...

After all, compared to the so-called robot that Zhiyun has not yet released, both the media and ordinary people are more interested in Xu Shenxue personally.

Xu Shenxue is the most famous businessman in the world today. This scope can even be expanded to "people" and is not just limited to the level of businessmen.

The three words "Xu Shenxue" themselves represent top-level traffic.

When the three words "Xu Shenxue" appear in some news, the traffic will increase dramatically.

It’s just that on domestic Internet platforms, it’s not so easy to get traffic from the three words "Xu Shenxue"... especially some news that are obviously fabricated and false.

Either the message cannot be sent, or it is blocked shortly after being sent.

Xu Shenxue or the term "Xu the Richest Man" used by netizens to refer to Xu Shenxue are considered the most sensitive words on some mainstream Internet platforms... As soon as you post something, the reviewers will see it.

After all, Xu Shenxue is the boss of a mainstream information platform, or an important shareholder... Even if he is not a boss or shareholder, the companies under Xu Shenxue are often important customers and financiers of these platforms.

At the same time, Xu Shenxue himself is highly tied to Zhiyun Group. Xu Shenxue's personal brand is highly correlated with Zhiyun's brand value and even Zhiyun's stock price.

If the platform messes up, Zhiyun’s legal department will come to the door and it will be very troublesome...

Therefore, most websites and APPs tacitly list the three words "Xu Shenxue" as sensitive words, and will strictly review the related news and information of Xu Shenxue to avoid trouble.

If other wealthy people were caught in some scandal, it would probably explode on the Internet in an instant. However, if Xu Shenxue was hanging out with his secretary and someone photographed them and wanted to upload them to the Internet, this information would most likely not be released!

Occasionally there are rumors circulating, but it is impossible for them to form any large-scale discussion...the platform will simply block them.

Of course, this is only limited to some illegal and private information. Xu Shenxue personally does not reject regular news reports, and Zhiyun also acquiesces.

There are quite a lot of regular news reports about Xu Shenxue. You can find a lot of them by just searching on the Internet, but there are very few news reports about Xu Shenxue's family.

The information about Xu Shenjia's family that can be found on the Internet is extremely sporadic public reporting information. Apart from that, there is no other information. At least, the information about Xu Shenjia's family cannot be found on major regular domestic platforms. Basically, it has been blocked and cannot be released at all.

News about Xu Shenxue cannot be made randomly, but Xu Shenxue does not accept news interviews or attend public occasions on a daily basis, and the media does not have many opportunities to interview and report on Xu Shenxue.

This time, after the media discovered that Xu Shenxue would personally host the press conference, they naturally rushed to attend the press conference, not only to report on the press conference, but also to take the opportunity to interview Xu Shenxue.

Before the robot launch officially started, Xu Shenxue went to the launch venue accompanied by staff. After entering the venue and before going backstage, a group of reporters surrounded him and tried to seize this extremely valuable close-up interview opportunity. However, they were all blocked by Xu Shenxue's security personnel and could not get close at all.

"Boss Xu, can you accept an interview?"

"Mr. Xu, we just need to ask a few questions. It won't take up much of your time!"

"Mr. Xu..."

Xu Shenxue looked at the reporters and immediately smiled. Then he slowed down his pace a little and told the security personnel to bring the reporters a little closer.

This place is the conference venue in the headquarters of Zhiyun Group, Xu Shenxue's own lair. How can he allow outsiders to sneak in?

Those who came were journalists whose identities had been officially confirmed from major regular media outlets, and they were required to undergo strict security checks when entering the venue.

However, the security personnel were still very cautious. Seven or eight security personnel directly surrounded Xu Shenxue and kept a close eye on the many reporters present to prevent any possible accidents.

Ordinary people don’t know, but several key leaders in Xu Shenxue’s security team know... their boss sets fires and causes car accidents every few days, and a group of people outside are eager to take their boss’ life.

Otherwise, Xu Shenxue would not have so many bulletproof cars. He would like to go out in an armored vehicle, and his security team is equipped with all kinds of advanced technological equipment and firearms.

Legal and compliant, his security personnel are not ordinary security personnel... but security personnel with legal gun licenses.

A level that even ordinary trillionaires cannot reach: Specific personnel in special circumstances can be equipped with firearms when performing specific tasks after high-level special approval, but they still need to strictly abide by various rules and regulations.

Protecting Xu Shenxue is a "specific task".

After all, it's no secret in this small global village that those financial groups outside want Xu Shenxue's life. The top dignitaries at higher levels know some news. You, Xu Shenxue, have caused someone's heir to get into a car accident, so don't you allow others to shoot a rocket at you!
Those American consortiums would love to shove a bazooka up Xu Shenxue's ass...but they can't do it.

Do you think those consortiums haven't tried to send people to take action? They have tried, but they all failed.

Eight out of ten operatives sent by the American consortium were arrested right after they got off the plane, and a few were arrested while staying in the hotel. They didn't even have the chance to get close to and fight with Xu Shenxue's security team...

Thanks to the strong support from his family, these security threats were killed with a slap in the face before they were still a long way from Xu Shenxue!
However, even so, Xu Shenxue's personal security team is still very cautious. Whenever Xu Shenxue goes out, especially when he comes into contact with outsiders, there is a group of security personnel around him.

Today's occasion is no exception!
So even if the reporter was placed closer, he was still several meters away from Xu Shenxue.

Xu Shenxue stopped and said to the reporters, "You all came all the way here, so I will just answer a few questions!"

At that moment, a reporter asked: "Mr. Xu, what is the robot released today like? How does it compare to the robot in Boston?"

Xu Shenxue said: "I will give a detailed introduction to the robots we are releasing at the press conference, but I can say in advance that our robots and Boston's robots are not from the same era and are completely incomparable."

"You can see why I say that at the press conference."

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Xu, how long will it take for robots to enter our daily lives? Will the robots you released today be commercialized?"

Xu Shenxue said: "I believe that it won't be long before robots enter our daily lives. In many areas, they may even be realized in the next one or two years. I am very optimistic about this!"

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Xu, can you tell us about the sales of the S14 mobile phone last year? Has the smart terminal business maintained rapid revenue growth after being banned from the US market?"

Xu Shenxue said: "The sales of our S14 mobile phones are very good. The specific information on revenue will have to wait for us to release the fourth quarter and full-year financial reports. At that time, you can check our annual reports by yourself."

The reporter asked again: "Mr. Xu, there are rumors that Hailan Automobile will launch an affordable model this year, and the price is expected to drop to less than 200,000 yuan. Is this true?"

Xu Shenxue said: "We at Hailan Automobile have always been committed to making smart electric vehicles serve more people."

"To this end, we have opened up a large number of patent authorizations and lowered industry barriers to encourage and welcome more people to enter the industry and promote healthy competition in the industry."

"This year, Hailan Automobile will continue to control costs and prices, and strive to enable more people to use the new era of smart electric vehicles!"

As for this year's affordable models... of course there aren't any. Due to the high costs of various industry chains, the cost of electric cars built by Hailan Automobile is still too expensive to be affordable!

Besides, HaiLan Automobile is originally positioned as a mid-to-high-end automobile brand. It is impossible for it to produce affordable models. Even the cheapest models will start at a mid-range price of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. It is impossible for it to offer you an electric car that costs hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

Therefore, it is impossible for Hailan Automobile to release an electric car priced at over 100,000 yuan as expected by the outside world!

As for the liberalization of patent authorization mentioned by Xu Shenxue... HaiLan Automobile has liberalized some conventional patents with little technical content, and will also require the other party to take out some related patents for exchange.

It is essentially a patent exchange.

Not every company can use HaiLan’s patent for free. How can such a good thing happen?

Another reporter asked: "Musk's Space Exploration Company will conduct the first reusable test of the Falcon 9 rocket in a week. What do you think of this move?"

Xu Shenxue said: "I hope he can succeed. The world needs more people to devote themselves to the aerospace industry to lay the foundation for mankind to enter the interstellar era. Human beings should not be limited to the earth, but should be in the broader starry sky!"

After answering many questions, Xu Shenxue said: "Okay, I still have to prepare for the press conference. Friends, see you at the press conference later. I hope you like today's press conference and our robot products!"

After saying that, Xu Shenxue left under the escort of security personnel and then entered the venue.

Although the reporters wanted to ask more questions, they knew it was impossible, let alone chasing after them.

The reporters who are invited to attend the press conference are basically reporters from regular media, and most of them are senior reporters in the field of science and technology or finance. They know the seriousness of the matter and will not be as bold and reckless as those entertainment reporters.

And even if I want to catch up with them, I can't get involved. Do they really think their security guards are just decorations?

After Xu Shenxue entered the backstage of the venue, he soon saw a large number of robot products that were ready to be released. Although Xu Shenxue had seen them many times before, he was still shocked by the robots in front of him.

Just as Xu Shenxue said when answering reporters before, the robots developed by Zhiyun Group and other traditional robots represented by Boston Dynamics are two different things... they are products of different eras.

At this time, Zhou Gaofei, the person in charge of the "Intelligent Robot Project" in Zhiyun Group and the executive president of the "Intelligent Machinery Division" under Zhiyun Group, also walked quickly towards Xu Shenxue: "Mr. Xu!"

Then he spoke to other senior executives of Zhiyun Group, such as Ji Chenghe, the group's senior vice president in charge of marketing, and Yang Guoyun, the group's vice president in charge of artificial intelligence business and also the dean of the Intelligent Research Institute.

Today, Xu Shenxue came to personally host the product launch of the robot, and several senior executives of the group also came to participate.

However, apart from Ji Chenghe, who likes to follow Xu Shenxue around when he has nothing to do, most of the other group executives are group executives related to artificial intelligence.

The high-level structure of Zhiyun Group is relatively complex. The senior vice president is a senior executive of the entire group and is in charge of a certain core department or core business unit, or core subsidiary.

Such as Ji Chenghe who is in charge of marketing and public relations, Gu Zhiming who is in charge of the supply chain, Kong Weiqian who is the chief financial officer, Lv Junneng who manages administrative affairs, Liang Yongan who is the chief legal officer, and Xie Jianyong who is the chief technology officer and in charge of the smart terminal business unit.

In addition, there are Ding Chengjun, CEO of its core subsidiary Zhiyun Microelectronics, and Fu Zhengyang, CEO of Zhiyun Semiconductor.

There are not many such people, only about ten. Some of them are extremely famous and known to people all over the world, such as Ji Chenghe and Gu Zhiming, who are both extremely famous in the outside world and have great influence.

However, there are also some who are not familiar to the outside world, such as Chief Legal Officer Liang Yongan, who has served as Chief Legal Officer of many multinational companies and has also served as an independent director in many multinational companies.

They are top-level compound talents who understand law, management and corporate strategy, and have made extremely important contributions to Zhiyun's entry into markets in various countries and avoidance of various legal risks.

In modern large enterprises, especially those with an international route, top legal talents are indispensable. This has also led to legal talents gradually becoming an important member of the senior management of major enterprises and directly participating in company decision-making. Zhiyun Group is no exception.

In addition to these senior vice presidents, Zhiyun Group has more than 20 group vice presidents, who are specifically in charge of an important business unit or important subsidiary, overseas regional presidents, etc., such as Yang Guoyun, who is in charge of the "Artificial Intelligence Business Unit."

Among the many group executives, most of them are very busy and each has their own things to do. There are relatively few who are as idle as Ji Chenghe and follow Xu Shenxue around for nothing.

After greeting, Zhou Gaofei, the executive president of the Intelligent Machinery Division, came to Xu Shenxue and said, "Boss Xu, we are ready. Here are some of the materials we have prepared!"

All kinds of information for the actual press conference had already been reported to Xu Shenxue, who had reviewed and read it. Even the manuscript for the press conference had been prepared in advance.

However, Xu Shenxue still took the information and took a quick look at it.

After a quick review, Xu Shenxue said, "The preparations are pretty good. Let's follow the established plan!"

Then Xu Shenxue walked forward and looked at the robots in front of him.

The robots released today are not just one type, but several types. Zhiyun Group has gathered together the achievements in the field of robotics over the past year and released them today.

At this time, Ji Chenghe also followed Xu Shenxue with great interest, then walked to a bipedal anthropomorphic robot, looking left and right.

"This robot looks quite sci-fi, and is very suitable for promotion. Old Yang, the robot you made this time is pretty good!"

Yang Guoyun said helplessly: "Boss Ji, I'm only 42 years old... I'm not old!"

Ji Chenghe just laughed: "That's bigger than me!"

Ji Chenghe is a rare young executive in the company, only in his thirties this year... He always puts the word "old" before anyone's last name.

Yang Guoyun was too lazy to pay attention to him, and simply introduced the robot to Xu Shenxue and everyone else: "This is the anthropomorphic bipedal robot we developed. It is driven by a motor. Of course, the core is the application of our new generation of algorithm model."

"After frequent and extensive training, our robot can efficiently learn various human behaviors. Its hands are very flexible and can perform various high-precision tasks, such as serving tea and pouring water!"

"The algorithm model in this robotic arm is highly versatile and can also be applied in other fields, such as industrial robots used in production. As long as there is enough training data, it can be used in various industries."

"For example, it can be used in the catering industry to make coffee, milk tea, etc."

"We are already developing corresponding products to meet certain market demands. We hope to try to promote them in some overseas countries or regions with high labor costs in the second half of this year, so as to replace labor in the catering and service sectors and save operating costs in the catering and some service industries."

"Of course, there is no need to promote it in our country. The cost of low-end labor in our country is too low, and our robots have no competitive advantage..."

Xu Shenxue listened to this and sighed slightly... In this domestic job market, even robots can't compete with these low-end laborers!
However, the cost of the machine will not always be so high. It will definitely continue to decline if it continues like this. Therefore, Xu Shenxue said: "Don't get involved in the domestic market for now, and don't release any technical authorization. The domestic low-end job market is still quite severe, so don't mess around!"

Xu Shenxue has no psychological burden in developing various robots/robotic arms for the service industry to compete in the overseas job market with high labor costs, but he cannot do the same in China.

After all, Zhiyun is not a small company, and the robots it develops are not toys that can only be looked at but not used. If they are really promoted on a large scale... they can really create a wave.

Looking back, those milk tea shops installed a bunch of machines to make all kinds of milk tea, which robbed the jobs of the vulnerable groups such as the bottom waiters. If you do this kind of thing, you are likely to give birth to a son without an asshole!
You can't be such a bad person!

Not all advanced technologies are beneficial to society!

Some advanced technologies appear and are promoted at inappropriate times, which not only do not bring any benefits, but also bring a lot of disadvantages.

So in many seemingly advanced technological applications, Xu Shenxue is actually very conservative and will not use just any advanced technology.

This conservative choice is not only reflected in the application of advanced technology, but also in some market strategies... Just now a reporter asked him whether he would develop affordable car models. Although Xu Shenxue did not say it, he had already made up his mind: no.

Otherwise, with his financial strength and R&D capabilities supported by the scientific research system, it would not be a problem for him to produce a low-end electric car worth tens of thousands of yuan!
But if this really happens, other newly emerging electric vehicle industries in China can also declare bankruptcy... No car company can compete with Hailan Automobile.

The technology and capital chain are not on the same level.

But if you do this, all the major domestic new energy manufacturers will be killed by you before they even emerge, and others will have no chance to succeed. The entire industry will be destroyed by you.

What Xu Shenxue wants is the entire smart electric vehicle industry chain... not just a car brand.

Therefore, HaiLan Automobile only needs to focus on the mid-to-high-end market, and then it will support a large number of other electric vehicle manufacturers, and then drive the development of the entire industrial chain. In this process, Xu Shenxue makes money from the upstream industrial chain.

What the outside world does not know is that Xu Shenxue now controls more than 90% of the world's lithium mine production capacity, and the price of lithium ore is entirely determined by Xu Shenxue.

At the same time, some mining companies under Xu Shenxue are gradually controlling other rare minerals needed for lithium batteries and electric motors.

A bunch of lithium mining companies under Xu Shenxue supply lithium ore to power battery manufacturers around the world, and these power battery manufacturers then provide batteries to electric vehicle manufacturers such as Hailan Automobile, Tesla, and BYD.

There are also in-vehicle computing chips, especially visual algorithm chips... The two companies under Xu Shenxue almost monopolize this industry. Any automobile manufacturer that wants to develop assisted driving has to buy chips from Xu Shenxue.

During this process, Xu Shenxue can make a lot of money from every Tesla sold by Musk's Tesla company!

Therefore, Xu Shenxue is happy to see the all-round development of the smart electric vehicle industry and even supports it. He will not do anything that kills the goose that lays the golden eggs and destroys the industry.

This is also one of the reasons why HaiLan Automobile is not currently entering the mid- and low-end markets.

In order to continue to promote the development of the smart electric vehicle industry and to avoid attracting attention to lithium mineral resources, the lithium mining companies controlled by Xu Shenxue have been continuously lowering the price of lithium ore and surveying and mining lithium ore all over the world.

By expanding production on a large scale, we can reduce costs, suppress lithium ore prices, and avoid the unnecessary greed caused by the soaring lithium ore prices.

He is not greedy and only earns the money he deserves.

Because when you are greedy, you will also arouse the greed of others.

----

After looking at some robots backstage and carefully reading the script for hosting the press conference, Xu Shenxue waited backstage for the press conference to begin.

At the press conference site in front, many invited media reporters and industry insiders have already taken their seats, and music and promotional videos are also playing in the venue.

When the time is up, the staff reminds us that we can go on stage.

At this time, Xu Shenxue took a step and walked out of the passage!
Behind him, on both sides, were two rows of bipedal anthropomorphic robots moving along with him.

So, people at the press conference saw Xu Shenxue walking out of the passage, and behind him were two rows of robots, just like robots guarding him.

What's happening here?
Did Xu Shenxue create a robot army?
As everyone was shocked, Xu Shenxue walked onto the stage and looked at the crowd in front of him and said, "Welcome everyone to our Zhiyun's artificial intelligence robot launch conference. I am Xu Shenxue!"

"Today, I will introduce you to several very interesting intelligent robot products!"

"Note that I'm not talking about robots, but intelligent robots. These are completely different concepts!"

Xu Shenxue continued as he walked around the venue: "If they were just robots that performed predetermined actions according to a program, then I would not be standing here today to introduce them to you, because they are not worthy!"

"What I mean by intelligent robots is a highly intelligent robot that is based on artificial intelligence and is integrated with motor-driven robots!"

"Just like these robots behind me!"

Xu Shenxue said, and immediately turned to a robot and said, "Hi, A12!"

At this moment, a bipedal anthropomorphic robot with a sci-fi vibe behind him immediately sent out an electronic voice: "Hello!"

Xu Shenxue continued to introduce: "We have equipped this bipedal A series robot with an AI voice function, which can be commanded through voice commands throughout the process... Of course, voiceprint matching and binding are required before commanding!"

"Then you can use voice commands to instruct them to do a series of incredible things!"

"like this!"

"A12, please perform a dance for our guests!"

Robot A12 made an electronic sound: "Okay!"

Afterwards, A12 took a few steps forward and began a series of dance moves… Of course, the dance moves were not very pretty to look at, but they still shocked the crowd.

Xu Shenxue said again: "OK, no need to jump, I'm thirsty now, help me get a glass of water!"

Robot A12 immediately said: "Okay, I'll go get some water!"

The A12 robot then walked to a demonstration table next to it, first picked up a glass of water with a robotic arm and placed it under the faucet, then another robotic arm gently turned on the faucet, and then turned it off.

Then robot A12 brought the cup filled with about % water to Xu Shenxue.

Xu Shenxue took the cup of water: "Thank you!"

Xu Shenxue took a sip of water, then said to the audience with a smile: "I think there should be enough professionals here to see the technical content of this series of movements!"

"I must emphasize that all of this is the autonomous behavior of robot A12, not a fixed program!"

"In fact, we can make it do more things, such as..."

Xu Shenxue continued to say to robot A12: "Put the cup back!"

Xu Shenxue handed the cup to the robot, and then the robot put the cup back to its original position. In the middle, Xu Shenxue said: "Don't put it back to its original position, move it a little to the left!"

The robot did as it was told.

After putting the cup away, Xu Shenxue said, "A12, come on, introduce yourself to our audience!"

Immediately, robot number A12 took a few steps forward and spoke electronically to the audience: "Hello everyone, I am a service robot manufactured by the Intelligent Machinery Division of Zhiyun Group. My number is A12. I am glad to meet you all!"

"I weigh 43 kilograms, am 1.62 meters tall, and am powered by electricity. I have flexible legs and arms and can perform most common movements. Although I don't know many things yet, I have a very good learning ability. If you are willing to teach me, I can master it quickly!"

Xu Shenxue once again faced the audience: "As it said, this is a robot with autonomous learning capabilities. We have implanted the most advanced neural network algorithm in it, which enables efficient learning."

At this moment, someone in the audience, who was obviously a technical person, couldn't help but ask loudly: "How did you do it?"

"How does it recognize such vague instructions as pouring water?"

"Also, how does it achieve such a flexible pouring action?"

Not only this person, but a group of technically savvy people at the scene were all stunned!

As the saying goes, the layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details!
All the layman saw was the tall robot dancing, and then brought a glass of water to Xu Shenxue.

But what insiders see is a series of extremely complex top technologies!
Just like what the person just asked, how does this robot recognize ambiguous commands like pouring water?
You should know that Xu Shenxue's instructions only said "pour me a glass of water", and did not mention what container to use or where to pour the water.

This means that the robot needs to analyze and extend the deep meaning of the instruction to pour water, then perceive and identify the surrounding environment, accurately find the place and tools to pour water, and then perform the action of pouring water!

This all sounds simple, especially for human beings themselves!

But for machines, this is extremely difficult.

Because the robot is dead, it will only do what is programmed. If you don’t give it precise instructions, it will just say: I’m sorry, I can’t understand what you are saying…

The mere recognition, analysis and judgment of fuzzy instructions is a major technological advancement in the field of artificial intelligence, and it is very difficult.

In addition, finding a place and cup to pour water and performing the action of pouring water also poses a lot of technical challenges.

How to accurately find the tables and cups with faucets on the stage is not so easy, and requires very advanced image recognition technology.

The same is true for the action of picking up a glass and pouring water.

The entire process requires extremely precise processing of images and various types of sensing data such as infrared... The processing requirements for this amount of instantaneous data are very high.

The group of industry professionals with technical backgrounds present at the scene felt their scalps tingling just thinking about such a huge amount of instantaneous data processing.

But... Xu Shenxue would not say that the reason why these bipedal robots on the scene performed so well was because there was an entire server array behind these robots to provide computing power support.

In fact, most of the data is connected to the server at the rear through a wireless network for calculation, and the calculation results are then fed back to the robot... The computing power of the robot itself is limited by the energy supply, and can only perform relatively simple data processing. It is impossible to be so precise and efficient.

What controls the robot's series of actions is not the AI ​​built into the robot itself, but the super AI running on the server behind it.

It's not just this one robot, the entire row of robots behind it are controlled by the server AI at the back... You thought you saw more than ten robots, but in fact what you saw were just more than ten limbs controlled by a super AI!

There's no need to say these things!
Anyway, this robot is not for sale, it is just for outsiders to see and show off... There is no need to explain it so clearly.

Anyway, you just need to know that the robots of our Zhiyun Group are awesome, you don’t need to understand them!
Next, Xu Shenxue asked the robots to perform a group dance, asking them to perform some common movements, which shocked the crowd watching.

Next, Xu Shenxue asked these bipedal anthropomorphic robots to end their performance and stand on both sides.

Then we started introducing other robot products.

Among them is the four-legged robot dog that people have seen several times before. This generation of robot dogs is smarter, moves more smoothly, and has better load-bearing capacity and stability.

In addition to conventional quadruped robots, Xu Shenxue also introduced a wheeled robot dog.

There are wheels installed at the end of the four legs, which can be used for quick maneuvers on flat roads. When encountering complex roads, the four legs can be used directly to move.

Moreover, these robot dogs can be connected to each other, and two robot dogs can form a larger robot dog for maneuvering.

There are also service-type robotic arms, wheeled freight unmanned vehicles, etc.

Xu Shenxue introduced more than ten kinds of intelligent mechanical products in one breath on the stage. The people present were shocked at first, and then they were stunned... There were so many shocks that they couldn't even keep up.

At the beginning, everyone had a question: How did Zhiyun do it?
But later on, no one asked this question anymore, because everyone can see that behind these robots or robot dogs is artificial intelligence technology.

This robot launch conference is more of an artificial intelligence launch conference than a robot launch conference.

This is also what Xu Shenxue emphasized at the beginning of the press conference: This is not a robot press conference, but an intelligent robot press conference!
The core does not lie in the three words "robot" but in the two words "intelligence".

After Xu Shenxue finished introducing various types of robot products, the press conference was about to end.

At this time, someone in the audience shouted: "Mr. Xu, when will these robots be available on the market? How much will they cost?"

Xu Shenxue smiled and said, "Sorry, the technology is too advanced to be put on the market!"

As soon as Xu Shenxue said this, the scene fell silent again... Listening to these words, why are they a bit infuriating!
Then someone quickly realized: No, you don’t even plan to sell it on the market, so why are you holding a robot product launch conference?

Ji Chenghe gave the most authoritative answer to this question: "To sell more mobile phones!"

Our Zhiyun Group’s smart terminal business has an annual revenue of more than 200 billion US dollars, and the S series of mobile phones alone have an annual revenue of more than 150 billion US dollars.

And now selling humanoid robots for only a few bucks...

In the future, perhaps the market for humanoid robots will be very large, but that is all in the future. As for now... the technology is far from mature, the application scenarios are extremely limited, and they can't be sold for much money.

The robots that do have some real markets are those in the industrial field, such as transport robots, such as unmanned freight vehicles; service robots, such as the robotic arms that make milk tea in milk tea shops; cleaning robots, such as unmanned sweepers; and robots in the medical field.

There is also a non-civilian market for various drones, robot dogs and other unmanned mobile weapon terminals, but there is no way to say anything about these either.

At the same time, the entire market for the above-mentioned industrial, service or military robots is not very large and is too segmented.

What is really worth looking forward to is general-purpose robots, which are still technically difficult and it is difficult to form a large-scale market at present... Zhiyun's internal analysis agency believes that it will take at least ten years for general-purpose robots to form a large-scale market.

After Xu Shenxue finished the press conference, a lot of news about the robot launch was posted on the Internet.

In particular, Xu Shenxue's statement that "the technology is too advanced to be put on the market" attracted a lot of discussion from people who were just looking for fun.

At the same time, people are also discussing how advanced the robot released by Zhiyun is, whether it will be available in the market in the future, and how big a market it will have when the technology matures.
This has also led many companies, including some capital, to start paying attention to the robotics track. Some startups in the robotics field found themselves becoming the hottest commodity in the venture capital market overnight, with a lot of investors coming to them hoping for investment!
But this does not include Boston Dynamics, a veteran company in the field of robotics!
Because they are not using artificial intelligence as the core and electrically driven robots, they are still using traditional fixed-program, hydraulically driven robots!
And now... a robot launch event held by Zhiyun Group proved that artificial intelligence combined with electric-driven robots are the future.

Boston Dynamics has been abandoned by the future!
