Byte into the field of delivery robots, the tens of billions of market ushered in the spoiler?

Do you also have the trouble of taking things short distances? Soon, the problem will be alleviated.

Songguo Finance learned that according to tech planet News on January 27, Byte recently tested the robot in the Fangheng Fashion Center, one of its office areas, which was developed by the team of Li Hang, director of the AI Lab laboratory, and was mainly used for food delivery in restaurants and small object delivery between buildings.

In fact, from the perspective of the industry invested by ByteDance in the past two years, the entry into the short-distance delivery robot track may not be a whim. From March 2020 to August 2021, in less than a year and a half, ByteDance invested in 5 robot companies, and from the perspective of investment companies, three of the 5 robot companies belong to logistics robot companies, which is enough to see its optimism about the track.

From the demand side, the seventh national census data shows that the proportion of the mainland population aged 60 and above reached 18.7%, of which the proportion of the population aged 65 and over reached 13.5%, the aging trend of the population accelerated, the supply of labor decreased, and the demand for catalyzed service robots. Replacing labor with robots, releasing part of the labor force, and improving efficiency will become a development trend of enterprise employment in the future.

According to the data of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, the mainland robot market has entered a period of steady growth and maintained a high growth rate, since 2016, the average annual growth rate of the mainland service robot market has reached 36.42%, higher than the global average, and the service robot market size is expected to reach 30.26 billion yuan in 2021. As the market increases, robots are increasingly used for new applications, and domestic indoor distribution scenarios are becoming more and more subdivided, such as KTV, office buildings, hospitals, hotels, restaurants and other places, comprehensively measuring the main application areas, intelligent services will gradually become a new direction of technology-driven innovation.

Byte's entry also makes the already hot robot track more lively, but the prospect is considerable, and with the intensification of competition in the industry, it may set off a new round of competition.
