At the recent GTC conference, the appearance of a column of humanoid robots detonated widespread attention and heated discussions on social media at home and abroad. The humanoid robots are all powered by AI technology, which is very sci-fi and futuristic, and is expected to accelerate the breakthrough of the robotics and embodied intelligence industry.
With the explosion of large models and general artificial intelligence technologies in recent years, the field of AI+ robotics has become one of the hottest and most concerned frontier technology fields. In China, many companies have begun to explore and accelerate their development in the field of AI+ robots, including artificial intelligence large model companies represented by SenseTime.
As a leading company leading the development of artificial intelligence innovation across a decade, SenseTime laid out and launched the home artificial intelligence robot brand "SenseRobot" as early as 2022, and became the first brand in the world to introduce mass-produced robotic arms into the home, and is a pioneer in the AI robot industry. The reason why Yuan Radish is very forward-looking in the application direction of AI+ robotic arm comes from a deep understanding of AI technology and accurate insight into the actual use scenarios of the family. Limited by the size of the family space and the complexity of the terrain, compared with the robot products with mechanical legs, the combination of "AI + robotic arm" can flexibly operate and perform various complex tasks without taking up too much family space, and can better meet the interaction and application needs of home users, which is the optimal form of the current home AI robot.
In terms of the selection of application scenarios, Yuan Radish took the lead in taking high-frequency and interactive scenarios such as chess as the starting point, reducing the volume of industrial robotic arms and improving the accuracy to create lightweight robotic arms, successfully creating a category of "chess-playing robots" with both innovation and practicality. Combined with the leading and mature AI vision technology and decision-making intelligence, Yuan Radish is like a real chess player, and can freely complete functions such as picking up chess pieces, playing against people, and notating and reviewing, which not only achieves effective cost control, but also is widely loved by users with a simple, cool and cute appearance design full of science and technology.
"Please don't touch my little arm, if it is broken, I won't be able to play chess with you", in the experience link, a voice reminder of Yuan Radish aroused the curiosity of many users. It turned out that Yuan Radish focused on product design for children, and in-depth safety considerations were carried out at the beginning of the design. Different from the strong torque of the industrial robotic arm, Yuan Radish strictly controls the safety factor of the robotic arm, and when the user pulls the robotic arm, the touch sensing system will be activated and prompted, which will not confront people, effectively ensure the safety of the user, and is more suitable for families.
In addition, through the competition with many national players and masters in the field of chess and Go, Yuan Radish has surpassed the peak level of chess ability, which can be used as a daily sparring and companion for professionals and amateurs, and its chess engine has also been fully certified.
Since its launch in August 2022, Yuan Radish has received unanimous praise from chess and Go enthusiasts and industry experts, and its product maturity has been widely verified. Tens of thousands of units have been sold in the first year and a half of listing, and for two consecutive years, the sales volume of "intelligent robots" in Tmall and Jingdong's double 11 promotion has ranked first, and its practicability has been fully verified by the mass market;
It is reported that in addition to chess robots, Yuan Radish is also developing more robot products suitable for families, covering parent-child interaction, educational assistance, family collaboration and other scenarios. Yuan Radish believes that the introduction of AI robots into the family is not to replace humans, but to serve as a link to family life, bringing convenience, companionship and warmth to the family. Just as the origin of the name "Yuan Radish", "Yuan" is interpreted as "one yuan initial", and "Radish" comes from the homonym of the English "robot" of the robot, symbolizing the pioneering spirit of the Yuan Radish brand and actively seeking a broader space for innovation. SenseTime said that it hopes that through the continuous development and innovation of AI technology, starting from the end and starting from the real needs of users, it will bring robot products to thousands of households, change people's lifestyles, and make life better.
