"I'm Xiaoqi, a general-purpose intelligent female robot developed by Exrobots, and my main responsibility is to provide you with intimate services and assist you in solving various problems......"

This year's annual meeting of the Zhongguancun Forum has shown a high level of "scientific content" as always. "Cyberpunk" bionic humanoid robot "Xiaoqi", integration of naked-eye 3D aerial imaging technology, and Gongti metaverse...... A number of hard technology elements make the venue full of "hard goods" and full of science and technology.
"The robot we're bringing this time is called a bionic humanoid robot. One of them is a mecha-type humanoid robot, that is, the 'Xiaoqi' that welcomes guests at the door, equipped with an AIGC semantic model, which can realize intelligent voice Q&A, and participants can ask for venue information, understand the major sections and characteristics of the Zhongguancun Forum. Li Boyang, co-founder of EX Robot, told a reporter from China Securities Journal, "The other is the humanoid robot 'Action No. 1' jointly developed by us and the Central Academy of Drama." We want to apply robotics technology to theatrical performances, and at the same time train our robots with the techniques used in theatrical performances to make its image more vivid and realistic. ”
"The bionic humanoid robot has a very high degree of integration, not only has the accuracy of the robot, makes particularly flexible body movements, but also has the appearance of bionics, behavior bionics, human-computer interaction form bionics, so we have made a deep integration of humanoid robot technology and bionics technology and AI large models. Our robot looks very close to a human, and at the same time can make subtle human-like expressions, and it can naturally generate answers through dialogue, and it can also express through its mouth expressions. Li Boyang further said.
According to reports, the application scenarios of bionic robots are becoming more and more extensive, such as science and technology museums, film and television entertainment programs, unmanned retail, children's education, etc.
"We are also developing applications in scenarios that require more natural communication between people, such as medical assistance and elderly companionship, and I believe that bionic robots can be seen in more scenarios in the future. Li Boyang revealed.
Behind Xiaoqi, a 3D aerial imaging "screen" attracted attention. A little, a stroke, a pinch...... An image of a 3D blue and white porcelain vase "suspended" in the air zooms in, shrinks, and rotates with the reporter's gestures......
"This is our medium-free 'interactive aerial imaging' technology, which is mainly based on a negative refractive flat lens. Yu Zhenjie, regional sales manager of Dongchao Technology in North China, said, "The technology applies the principle of light field reconstruction, the aerial imaging method based on the matrix optical waveguide, relying on the self-developed new materials with negative refraction functional effects, and integrating relevant interactive technologies to realize the accurate and complex interactive imaging system in the air, and realize the interactive effect through unilateral infrared sensors." ”

Wearing VR glasses, you can "travel" from the Zhongguancun Forum in Beijing's Haidian District to the Beijing Workers' Stadium in Chaoyang District...... In the Workers' Sports Metaverse Digital Football Exhibition Area, reporters turned into "digital goalkeepers" in the virtual space and had a football duel with the world's top star digital people.
According to the staff, the Workers' Sports Metaverse Digital Football Project is the world's first metaverse football experience interactive device with 5G super network and separated rendering technology, with a network environment of 100 megabytes of downlink speed and 20 millisecond latency. With fast internet speed and high degree of authenticity, football enthusiasts can turn into "digital goalkeepers" in the Workers' Sports Metaverse Experience Center in the East Hall of the New Workers' Stadium.

In an interview with a reporter from China Securities Journal, Ge Qi, Vice President of Sinobo Group and CEO of Gongti Metaverse, said that in 2024, Gongti Metaverse will work with strategic partners such as Beijing Unicom and Huawei to jointly build a 5G-A networking verification pilot project, and complete 5G-A network coverage inside and outside the new Gongti venue. In addition to the digital football project, it also provides a number of metaverse services and applications such as metaverse live broadcast, metaverse social networking and metaverse official digital human, innovating the consumption model of the cultural and sports industry. "Not all audiences have the time or can grab tickets, and now more audiences are able to participate in sporting events and cultural performances with 68,000 offline audiences. Ge Ji said.
Yang Yan, assistant to the general manager of Beijing Zhongguancun Street Construction and Development Co., Ltd., said that the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference will deepen the three characteristics of 'smart', 'cloud' and 'green', and continue to develop and explore multi-scenario and high-level technology product applications. New ideas are integrated into the whole process of the forum, digital empowerment of multiple experiences, and broadening the participation scenarios of the forum, so that every participant can deeply participate, share the fruits of wisdom, and experience the charm of a better world together.
