Liu Yingjian: The tireless and quest of a generation of scientists

author:Zhongguancun Magazine

Turning over the history of Hanwang's growth, looking back at its persistence, persistence and innovation on the road of artificial intelligence for more than 20 years, we are more emotional and respectful to the older generation of scientists who have the belief of industry to serve the country.

Time has unconsciously come to the second decade of the 21st century, and many things have become very distant between the quiet, and it is easy to use the word "history" to describe it. The next entrepreneur we will talk about from the creation of the field of Chinese handwriting recognition more than 40 years ago.

On a very ordinary day in March 1985, a person successfully developed the world's first "online handwriting Chinese character recognition online device", created a new application field of non-keyboard Chinese character input, realized the century revolution of computer character recognition, unveiled the era of Chinese character handwriting recognition, and left a strong mark on Chinese culture in the history of computer development. This person is the founder of the "Hanwang Pen" - Liu Yingjian, chairman of Hanwang Technology.

After the resumption of the college entrance examination in the late 1970s, 25-year-old Liu Yingjian was admitted to the Nanjing People's Liberation Army Communications Institute with the first place in the northwest region, and has since entered the colorful and unpredictable world of intelligent technology. In 1984, he submitted the research and development report of "online handwritten Chinese character recognition equipment" and embarked on the road of scientific and technological research to solve the problem of Chinese Chinese character input. In 1985, Liu Yingjian presided over the invention of the world's first online handwritten Chinese character recognition online device, which obtained an invention patent, becoming the world's first invention from keyboard input to handwriting input. Since then, there has been a Chinese chapter in the long history of computer development, which has caused a lot of sensations.

Today, Liu Yingjian, who has two white sideburns, is still fighting in the front line of scientific and technological research and development, tirelessly, seeking up and down, leading Hanwang Technology to continuously develop and innovate. In 2019, Liu Yingjian made a surprise appearance with the self-developed wing-flapping robot bird - "Head Bird". Liu Yingjian introduced that the advent of the "head bird" has achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1 in the field of commercialization of autonomous flying flapping wing bionic aircraft. The technological breakthrough of Hanwang Technology's subsidiary Imitation Wing Technology is of great significance, not only adding a commercial flapping wing aircraft category to the unmanned aerial vehicle family, but also ushering in the large-scale commercial application of flapping wing aircraft from toy-level popularization to high-end industries.

The flapping wing robot bird "Head Bird" integrates the current cutting-edge bionic flapping wing flight technology, intelligent sensing technology, artificial intelligence technology, through the new flight power transmission system, increases the lift during flapping wing flight, and loads a series of intelligent sensors and flight control systems, effectively realizing the autonomous flight of the flapping wing aircraft without manual control.

When there is no remote control, the winged bird can independently maintain a relatively stable flight attitude, can achieve fixed altitude flight, autonomous obstacle avoidance flight, and hover flight in a limited space (such as a small family room). When controlling with a remote control, the flapping wing aircraft gives priority to the instructions of the remote control, flying according to the instructions, and can autonomously intelligently switch on and off the machine, specific flight, fixed height flight, and automatic adjustment of flight attitude.

After more than 40 years of commercial ups and downs, Hanwang Technology conforms to the trend of the times and focuses on the research and development of core technologies in the field of intelligent interaction, from handwriting recognition, OCR recognition, face recognition, and then to license plate recognition, and constantly innovates. For the future of Hanwang, Liu Yingjian still has many ideas: to do the core, do the application, do the diffusion, continue to increase research and development efforts in the core technology fields such as handwriting, voice, OCR, etc., accelerate the pace of technological upgrading, do a good job in the productization of technology and expand the field of technical applications, promote the development of the Chinese character recognition industry, and contribute to the development of China's information industry...

Focus on achievements, innovation leads the future. Turning over the history of Hanwang's growth, looking back at its persistence, persistence and innovation on the road of artificial intelligence for more than 20 years, we are more emotional and respectful to the older generation of scientists who have the belief of industry to serve the country. The wealth they have left to our descendants is not only these scientific and technological achievements that have exhausted their lives and bowed down, but also the innovative spirit of seeking truth and pragmatism, perseverance and excellence.
