"Giant pandas can say crosstalk, giant pandas can tell jokes, giant pandas can write calligraphy, and giant pandas can play chess!" In the 2022 New Year Cross-Talk Conference program "Business Card" broadcast on the first day of the Chinese New Year, well-known young cross-talk actors Dong Jianchun and Li Ding were "pinched" by the partner of the first cross-talk actor - UBTECH Panda Robot Youyou.
Under the cute appearance, the panda robot Youyou sent a series of soul torture questions about age, income and savings to Li Ding, and with his eccentric answers, Dong Jianchun "exhaled", and the scene also performed the national style Tai Chi, a proper Spring Festival atmosphere, warmed people's hearts with AI, and accompanied the people of the whole country to celebrate the New Year.

It is reported that the 2022 New Year Cross-Talk Conference was launched by the Literary and Art Program Center of the Central Radio and Television Corporation, with "Spring Festival" as the main topic, with a wonderful cross-talk performance, opening the audience's beautiful vision for the coming year.
This is the first time that the Chinese New Year Cross-Talk Conference has enabled humanoid robot cross-talk actors, introducing a new "business card" that perfectly integrates traditional Chinese culture and cutting-edge technology. On the basis of inheriting the tradition of "speaking and singing", the program has added new scientific and technological elements, achieved breakthroughs and innovations in content and form of expression, and provided a refreshing Spring Festival "feast" for the national audience to integrate science and technology and culture.

Language programs such as the Spring Festival Cross-Talk Conference have higher requirements for the interactive feedback of robots, and need to make the co-actors have a sense of substitution and have an appeal to the audience. Panda robot Youyou integrates multi-modal emotional interactions such as vision, hearing, touch, and environmental multi-channel perception, with limbs, expressions and lights, and answers to Li Ding and Dong Jianchun's "gags" like a stream, and the "power" of cross-talk is remarkable.
In the game session of the rock scissors cloth, the panda robot Youyou won Li Ding three times in a row, adding a high-tech "cross-talk famous scene". Behind this includes speech synthesis, computer vision, intelligent decision-making, motion control and other AI and robot technologies, reflecting the highly integrated and collaborative intelligence level of UBTECH robots.

It is worth mentioning that in order to "say" this cross-talk, panda robot Youyou added a "humor function". In the show, the panda robot Youyou's voice is customized according to the voice of a 10- to 12-year-old boy, full of vitality and humor. This is UBTECH using end-to-end deep learning methods to train the sound model, after the text is converted into phonemes, predicted by the acoustic model, and the neural network's soundcoder to achieve a high degree of natural speech synthesis, with a high degree of realistic expressiveness. Such speech synthesis technology can flexibly adjust the tone and rhythm of individual words and words, so that there can be blank spaces, pauses, etc. in the dialogue, making it appear more humane. The sense of humor of the robot "speaking" crosstalk is reflected in the details of the mood words, language rhythm, blank pauses, volume size, and speed of speech.

Jiang Kun, a master of cross-talk, commented on the robot element added in "Business Card", saying, "Artificial intelligence occupies a too important position in our lives. There will be more artificial intelligence that may be integrated into our lives, replacing us (doing) things that even people can't think of. So artificial intelligence has come to our lives, and we have to describe life. ”
Panda Robot Youyou is UBTECH's design prototype based on the image of the giant panda, based on the large-scale humanoid service robot Walker X, customized exclusively for the China Pavilion of the Dubai World Expo, and is the world's first large-scale humanoid service robot to achieve commercial application.
From flexible actions to intimate interaction with people, Panda Robot Youyou has gradually been applied in film and television variety shows, science and technology exhibition halls, government and enterprise exhibition halls, scientific research and development and other scenarios, and gradually integrated into human life, and is expected to enter thousands of households in the future. Scientific and technological innovation is not only a powerful engine driving China's economic and social development, but also a surprise and gift shared with all mankind.

Since its opening on October 1, 2021, Panda Robot Has been serving as the "Messenger of Peace and Friendship" of the China Pavilion at the Dubai World Expo for more than four months, receiving nearly 1 million visitors from all over the world and VIP delegations from government, enterprises and business circles in nearly 40 countries and regions. In the wisdom ecology sub-exhibition area of the China Pavilion, he not only served as an intelligent tour guide explainer, but also showed everyone talents such as tai chi, calligraphy and painting with traditional Chinese characteristics during the work break, warmly shook hands with tourists, and interacted with each other in a friendly way, as a "science and technology business card" of China's original cutting-edge technology level and a "social business card" of national advanced productivity, passing on Chinese AI to the world.
At present, the world's major countries have developed artificial intelligence strategies to promote sustainable economic development. UBTECH is committed to promoting the development and application of artificial intelligence technology around the world, providing scientific and technological support for artificial intelligence education, commercial services, smart epidemic prevention, smart health care, smart logistics, etc., and using innovative technology to solve major social problems and meet major social needs, helping to build a high-quality community with a shared future for mankind.
