[PConline Talk] The 18th China Hi-Tech Fair (hereinafter referred to as Hi-tech Fair) was held in Shenzhen from November 16 to 21, 2016. If it is not the QQ pop-up window that exposes the high-traffic robot wounding incident, the melon people may not feel bad about this high-tech exhibition held in Shenzhen. However, Shenzhen Hi-tech Fair, whether it is for the development of China's high-tech industry, or for related Industry practitioners have special and important significance.
Even if you don’t pay attention to science and technology news at ordinary times, when you see the names of the organizers of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Intellectual Property Office, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it’s easy to think of what level of exhibition this is. . Yes, it is currently China's largest and most influential science and technology exhibition, known as the "China Science and Technology Exhibition." This year marks the 18th anniversary of the establishment of the Hi-tech Fair. In 18 years, it was a time from birth to adulthood, and it was also the 18 years of rapid development of China's high-tech industry.
“The reform and opening up allowed Shenzhen to transform itself from a small fishing village into an international metropolis.†This sentence has long been smashed in teaching materials. However, even under the new normal, Shenzhen still led the economy at a rate of over 8% at the beginning of the year. Nationally, behind this, in addition to the historical opportunities of reform and opening up, there is still a "shenzhen model" that is worthy of summarizing and that is hard to learn in other places. Thanks to the government’s promotion of industrial upgrading and support for high-tech industries, every industrial upgrading and economic restructuring of Shenzhen is enough to become a textbook model. The establishment of China's VC venture capital system also began in Shenzhen.
Each session of the high-tech fair is equivalent to the government's lead and has established a bridge between projects, capital, technology and other resources. One of these stories is widely hailed by the industry. When the first high-tech fair was held in 1999, Tencent, which had just been established for a year, was overwhelmed with QQ users, and it was unable to bear a reasonable profit model. As a result, there was a gap in funds and Ma even thought of selling QQ. In that exhibition, Ma Huateng traveled through the hall with his business plan and gotten the most critical venture investment in the history of Tencent – ​​IDG and the US$2.2 million invested by Pacific Century Cyber.
This year's Hi-tech fair is unprecedented in scope, with a total exhibition area of ​​more than 115,000 square meters. There are 9 exhibition halls in total, of which Hall 6 is the “Smart City Special Pavilionâ€. Apart from some smart home products, there are many varied service types. robot. From the local company, King Kong Ant Robot Technology Co., Ltd., with an accompanying robot, not only got a special booth, but also won the only outstanding product award awarded to robots in the museum.
That is the paragraph to get 360 investment, and was the red Yizhuan Zhou Hongyi to Wuzhen Xiaoyi robot.
Shenzhen Jingang Ant Robot Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jingang Ant) was established in July 2014. It is an innovative high-tech company specializing in R&D and production of home-use robots. Xiaoyi robot is the first child intelligent companion robot produced by it, and it is also an intelligent ecological chain product of Qihoo 360 Technology Co., Ltd. Judging from this official introduction, Xiaoyi seems to contain the most popular nowadays, and it is also a favorite attribute of the capital circle: high-tech, robotics, artificial intelligence, ecological chains, and so on.
Of course, if there were only these, it would be no different from the old fritters outside the cluster of capital circles, and it would be even less worthwhile for us to discuss such a large space.
In 2014, the "Alpha" robots had not yet reached the stage on the Spring Festival Evening, and the "human-machine Go Battle" that has attracted worldwide attention has not yet occurred. From the market point of view, Xiaoyi did not follow the trend after the robot concept became popular. Joining, but before that, discovered the user value and commercial value of the child to accompany the robot, and started to research and develop the product, right, and outside those "brilliant è´± goods" is not the same.
The birth of Xiaoyi, on the one hand, came from the founder Fang Feihai’s intuition in the IT hardware industry for many years. On the other hand, it was due to his practical needs as a father.
Work and entrepreneurship are too busy. There has been no time to accompany children. This is almost a common problem for all people of this age group. At a party at the beginning of 2014, Fang Feihai bought two Furby (popular smart toys that were popular in the United States) for his son. His son liked it very much. This strengthened his idea of ​​creating a family-friendly product.
In an earlier interview, Fang Feihai mentioned: "When I don't see a child, I will miss him very much. Not only is the child needed to be accompanied, but the same is true for adults. So, I want to do something to solve this problem. A bridge is built for the emotional needs of children and adults.†This is also the voice of parents of all single children.
These thoughts later became a series of functions such as active snapshots and video calls on the robot. However, from the 15th round of obtaining A round of financing, to the final version of the 16th year, it has gone through another year. In this year's polishing, the small Yi team lacking experience in the robotics industry used a lot of stupid methods, such as going to kindergarten "spot" research and so on. However, these seemingly ridiculously stupid ways formally created the brains of today's small memories.
From the DEMO to volume production of the seven versions, behind the quest for product quality by King Kong ants, but also full of CEO Fang Feihai in order to give his son a satisfactory answer. However, leaving the product to talk about feelings is like talking about climax of eunuchs. Investors look at the prospects, and they look at the results. Users only care about what you ultimately put in front of him.
In March this year, Xiaoyi Robot launched Jingdong Crowdfunding and successfully completed a 1 million crowdfunding mission in only 28 hours. A user involved in crowdfunding stated that companionship is indeed one of the most attractive to him. The two seemingly simple words can only be realized with the addition of many innovative technologies. Taking the four-dimensional universal structure as an example, in the absence of experts and without precedent, they spent half a year to solve this problem, because this is the key to ensuring the flexibility of Xiaoyi’s capture. In the end, they did it and applied for a patent for this design.
At the high-tech fair, Xiaoyi, which was placed in the spotlight by the Shenzhen government, won the children's love with its cute shape design. Even the passing adults could not stop and lamented the development of the robot. How many people can expect that a robot that only existed in fantasy when he was a child could stay in his own home so quickly?
Xiaoyi’s award of the Outstanding Product Award from the industry is not only an endorsement of the product itself by the market and the industry, it also releases an important signal – the spring of robots has come. From the perspective of the product life cycle, intelligent robots have just undergone exploration. It is estimated that 31 million service robots will be sold between 2014 and 2017, and 2016 will be the beginning of an explosion.
In 2017, as production increases, supply chain costs will gradually decrease, and entry barriers will also decrease. More manufacturers will follow the wave of robots, and consumers can experience it at less cost. To robotic products, lay the foundation for the subsequent popularization.
Of course, entering the outbreak period will also bring about a series of problems such as homogenization of products and the emergence of a large number of inferior products. Just like smart wear in the first two years, and then again, it is a new round of industry reshuffle. When the boom of capital recedes, there will be a group of companies falling down, and a group of companies will step on a new one on their bones. the height of. After the end of this process, who can stay? Should no one be more qualified than "little memories" that can both look up at the stars and down to earth?
