On January 28, Xiaomi's WeChat public account posted that the iron egg bionic robot research and development team won the Xiaomi 2021 annual technology award, with a prize of up to 1 million US dollars (about 6.366 million yuan). Two of the 2020 graduates have performed particularly well and will share the award with the team. Seeing the year-end award of Xiaomi fresh graduates, Xiao Lei was really envious.
According to reports, the two post-95 employees are Sprite and Xu Haiguo. Sprite graduated from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology with a master's degree in engineering. During his schooling, he participated in the National College Student Electronic Design Competition and won the first prize of the country, joined the Iron Egg Robot Project under the introduction of the leader, and was responsible for the product manager and the communication and docking of various departments.
Xu Haiguo graduated from Harbin University of Science and Technology with a master's degree, participated in robot competitions in his undergraduate years, and also created a career as a teacher during his graduate school years, and did unmanned factories, stir-fry robots and other projects. At present, he is mainly responsible for the overall architecture design of software, upper-level software implementation and open source work, and is a technical god.
When asked who is the most admired technology bull in the technology industry, Xu Haiguo said that he most admires Tesla CEO Elon Musk, thinking that his way of thinking is interesting, doing what he loves, realizing his dreams and making money by the way.
Last year, Lei Jun brought the four-legged bionic robot "Iron Egg" for the first time at the Xiaomi Spring New Product Launch. As the first robot product created by Xiaomi, the iron egg not only has an interesting appearance, but also integrates many black technologies on the body, supporting automatic following, running, jumping and rolling, and so on. Since then, the iron egg robot has begun to appear frequently in everyone's eyes, and almost every xiaomi conference has the opportunity to appear on the iron egg.
Iron Egg R & D team from 0 to 1 to develop such a product, in addition to its own very high level of technology, Iron Egg is loved by everyone, achieved quite good success, the team can win the annual science and technology award is very reasonable. With a huge bonus of $1 million, two fresh graduates should be able to get a fairly high reward, which is estimated to be higher than the salary of many people for a whole year, and kill a large number of post-95 graduates.
Bionic robots will certainly become one of the most important research and development directions for major technology companies in the future, and Musk also said that Tesla's bionic robots will launch prototypes as soon as this year. Xiaomi launched the iron egg bionic robot, in addition to exploring in new fields, it is also a process of accumulation of technical heritage. In the future competition of new tracks, it may help Xiaomi to be one step ahead.
