Artificial intelligence air intake hits home appliances and robots

OFweek smart home network news: In the artificial intelligence "spout", the home appliance industry and robot more closely integrate together. On the one hand, the traditional household electrical appliance companies represented by Midea and Gree have extended their reach into the robotics field. On the other hand, evolving companies, Xinhanhua and other companies have also continuously exerted their efforts in serving robots, allowing service robots to gradually enter the family. However, in the process of Chinese home appliance companies entering the field of robotics, whether it is mergers and acquisitions or independent research and development, they all bypass the core technology threshold. How to improve competitiveness and develop a truly practical and safe service robot is a Kaner placed in front of Chinese companies.

Appliance companies compete to enter the robot market

It is no surprise that home appliance companies are entering the field of smart equipment and robots. As early as last year, Midea Group acquired the German robotic KUKA Group and set off a hot discussion in the industry. Recently, Midea Group once again announced a strategic cooperation deal with Servotronix, a well-known Israeli robot company and motion control system solution provider. Gree also joined the battle for smart equipment. In addition, the president of Galanz Leung Chiu-hyun also discussed deeper all-round cooperation with the world's largest industrial robot giant hair that branch last month.

In fact, the competition between Gree and Midea in the field of robotics is only a microcosm. Since the beginning of this year, many home appliance companies have targeted artificial intelligence. Some companies have devoted themselves to research and development of AI technology and applied it to home appliances. Some companies have entered the robot market through mergers and acquisitions or cooperation.

As a traditional household appliance manufacturer, Changhong, Midea, Gree, Galanz, etc. are all making the transition to intelligent manufacturing. The layout of robot manufacturing and application will help them to occupy an advantage in smart manufacturing and realize “turning overtaking”. In addition, in recent years, the traditional home appliance market has been chilled, and manufacturers hope to use the robot market to differentiate themselves and find new breakthroughs.

In an interview with a reporter from China Electronics News, Philips China Television Marketing Director Duan Wenxue stated that in order to innovate its promotional methods, Philips is also introducing robots to sell robots for interactive interactions and promotions. According to Duan Literature, Philips and Youyi must collaborate to customize a group of robot promoters selected by Youyi and manage these robots as real people. The robot can dance and communicate and can inform you about simple information and make consumers feel it. Fresher and more fun, and these robots can continue to optimize and experience more.

Service robots and home appliances accelerate convergence

With the rise of the mobile Internet and the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence is increasingly widely used in the field of smart life. In addition to the home appliance business layout robotics field, the Evolvers, Yansinhua, Fortune and other companies have begun to force service robots, so that robots and home appliances have more integration.

It is understood that the evolutionary company's chubby robot can be achieved through voice control functions, in addition to watching movies, games, but also take into account the function of the air purifier; Xin Yihua launched this year, the home service robot is a home helper robot , With voice interactive features, and can control home appliances; Format through children's robots, glass-wiping robots and other artificial intelligence products, to provide users with life solutions. It can be said that from the smart single product to the smart things to the entire home system, the "smart home" representing the future lifestyle is gradually changing the people's original way of life and guiding a new life transformation.

According to Ge Chenhong, a professor and doctoral tutor of the Renmin University of China’s School of Philosophy, many robotic products are now beyond imagination. Many service robots and electrical appliances are integrated into one function and can detect air quality and additional air-conditioning functions. In the future, service-oriented robots will make human life better and technical functions must be multi-dimensional and multi-functional.

“If household electrical appliances using artificial intelligence technology can meet the rigid consumer demand, then it is meaningful. From the technical point of view, China’s artificial intelligence technology has increasingly approached the world’s advanced level, and many manufacturers in China are in the field of artificial intelligence technology. There are many reserves, especially in image processing, voice manipulation, etc. The manufacturers have to do is to put the technology and products to the ground.” Marley, an associate researcher at the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told the China Electronics News reporter.

Core technology is still a barrier

In spite of the good prospects of the robotics industry, in the opinion of Wang Wei, co-founder and chief scientist of the Beijing Evolutive Technology Co., Ltd., there are two issues worth considering in the future of robots. The first is deep-seated problems. How do we invent tools? It is used by people without being hurt by tools. The second is more specific problems. Will robots bring risks to families?

Nowadays, more and more service robots come into the family, and behind the family, how to ensure security becomes a problem. In fact, at the end of last year, a fat robot of the evolving person had a wounding incident at the Hi-tech Fair, causing great concern. At present, the thinking and discussion on security in the field of autonomous mobile service robots has only just begun. The intelligent networking properties and information security issues of service robots need to be further explored.

It can be said that the market for service robots is very big, but there are also many challenges. Whether it is the Chinese home appliance companies entering the robot field, or the accelerated integration of the service robots and the home appliance industry, they all bypass the threshold of technology and safety. How to break through the core technologies is also a challenge for the development of the service robot industry in China.

Zhang Can, CEO of Beijing Jingyi Robot Technology Co., Ltd., told the China Electronics News reporter that there were more industrial robots before, and the era of service robots has come. Judging from the status quo of robots, European, American and Japanese robots are still ahead of the domestic. They conducted basic robot research very early. In particular, robot parts still need to be imported from abroad. These key technologies are still in the hands of foreign giants, and Chinese companies must strengthen Core technology reserves.
