In September this year, ROOBO company with a personalized intelligent pet robot DOMGY, farewell to the cold machine era, opened a new era of human-computer interaction, and redefining the robot. At the same time, they won the A-round financing of 100 million U.S. dollars, which coincided with the hot season of artificial intelligence, and were spotted and expected in this boom and halo. The ROOBO team, who remained calm and optimistic, stated that it was a firm decision to build an artificial intelligence robot system company from the early days of its establishment, and its current development trajectory was within their expectations. When the linking element visited ROOBO President Yin Fangming, he asserted that in the next three years, the Chinese market for robots will reach a mass of one million units, enter the era of incremental markets, and are expected to overtake the United States. At the same time, I talked about the relationship between artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. What's the point of view? Interacting elements: Can you tell us about the company's entrepreneurial story? Did you decide to do artificial intelligence from the very beginning? Yin Fangming: Since the establishment of the company in 2014, we have focused on the world's smart hardware incubation and distribution platform, and are committed to building an industry-leading artificial intelligence and robot operating system (ROOBOAI+OS). Trying to do artificial intelligence begins with thinking about the product. We want to get rid of the tool properties of the mobile PC. When thinking about the next product, think about whether there is a new entrance. We have found that if we add artificial intelligence to our products, intelligent services can give our products a better experience. At present, the level of artificial intelligence is very high, and some people have even demonized it. But few people said at that time, especially Internet users, they would not even share a specific subject term or technology such as artificial intelligence. We are more accustomed to discussion. Is a specific product, which features it has, what problems can be solved, and what experiences. Early in the venture, in cooperation with hardware teams both at home and abroad, it was found that the hardware products of foreign companies couldn't pass the “volume production shut-offâ€. On the contrary, the production capacity was stronger in China. So we built an 80-person team in Shenzhen to help. Hardware company mass production. Three years later, we have been insisting on an artificial intelligence robot system development platform, accumulated a lot of experience, built a system composed of intelligent hardware, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence, and it has also become the core advantage of roobo.
