The artificial intelligence technology ability is rapidly improving Baidu to open the door of AI family robot

On November 16, 2017 Baidu World Congress was held in Beijing, and released a variety of software and hardware products such as mobile phone Baidu 10.0 and new artificial intelligence hardware “raven H”. This conference attracted many developers and eco partners.

Deeply cultivating artificial intelligence technology for many years, Baidu's AI technology is making everything easier in Baidu's own applications and partners' corresponding products. Baidu's auto-driving open platform Apollo, Baidu brain, DuerOS 2.0, mobile Baidu, iQiyi and other new technology applications were newly unveiled at this conference.

In Li Yanhong's view, the ability of artificial intelligence technology is rapidly increasing, and it is increasingly able to enter a variety of practical areas. Therefore, how to promote AI productization in an all-round way, accelerate the commercialization of AI, let AI enter everyone's life more quickly, and become the focus of this conference.

From the function of the first intelligent hardware raven H released by Baidu, the raven H equipped with Duer OS 2.0 can be directly woken up, playing music and iQiyi video through voice operation, turning on the TV, controlling the light switch, adjusting the air conditioner, and answering Why are 100,000? Same as the "one more thing" link in the Apple product launch, this time Baidu also announced "two more things": raven R, raven Q two upcoming smart hardware, from the logic of H to Q can be seen, raven H It has gone beyond the definition of smart speakers in the past, more like AI home robots from front-end hardware to terminal technology platforms to functional services.

In the eyes of the industry, AI home robots, unmanned landing speed is only a microcosm of Baidu AI commercialization speed, Baidu AI technology has taken the lead in finding various scenarios. From investing huge amounts of money in research and development, recruiting many world-class top AI scientists, and now the product blossoms, Baidu, which has been grinding a sword for several years, has finally formed a complete AI ecological closed loop.
AI home robot that will transform

Baidu's external output DuerOS switching system is dedicated to empowering everything and providing integrated software and hardware solutions. Li Yanhong has said that the combination of hardware and software and artificial intelligence products will be a new direction.

After being acquired by Baidu at the beginning of the year, Raven Technology shouldered the mission of landing AI home products, and provided Baidu with the exploration of soft and hard integration of AI technology. At this conference, Baidu's first artificial intelligence hardware product raven H finally unveiled.

At the press conference, Baidu did not compare it with the previous smart speakers. Whether it was from the design concept of the exterior, it was different from the previous smart speaker products. Based on the Baidu DuerOS platform, raven H is going to be a smart home brain. The new "DuerOS 2.0" kernel and Baidu's huge database, raven H has reached a new height in the use experience, put music, turn on the TV, control the light switch, adjust the air conditioner, answer 100,000 why, move the mouth can do it .

In fact, if you look at the global AI market, Google, Amazon, and Apple have launched or updated new smart speaker products since the beginning of this year. In the domestic market, Alibaba, Keda Xunfei, Xiaomi, etc. all have corresponding products available, voice. The commercialization of the field has begun to land first.

The special part of Baidu raven H is to provide it with expandability. At the meeting, the Raven also announced two other upcoming products, raven R and raven Q. The raven R is an upgradeable version of raven H's flexible motion and the world's first six-axis fully automatic emotional robot. Raven Q is a hardware form with mature face recognition, computer vision and Apollo autopilot. In fact, raven H is beyond the definition of smart speakers in the past, and is more like a home robot.

At the Baidu World Congress, the DuerOS 2.0 operating system was also ushered in. In the man-machine exchange mode, it does do "Baidu knows you better", not every time you call the operation you need to say the wake-up words. Li Yanhong said that most of the smart speakers on the market today, when you communicate with it, although you do not need to trigger the button, but still need a wake-up word, this is still not a natural way of interaction. Everyday people and people communicate, you don't have to hold your hand to talk to you, and you don't have to call a name every time you say a word.

Based on the core capabilities of Baidu AI technology, Baidu focuses on the AI ​​application ecosystem and opens up two platforms, Due-rOS and Apollo. Among them, the Baidu DuerOS platform uses voice as the entrance, builds and opens the full stack capability of voice interaction from hardware to software, and is committed to building the key nodes of the future smart home and the Internet of Everything. Extend the intelligent voice interaction capability to more intelligent hardware, further reduce the threshold of intelligent hardware development, and empower artificial intelligence to traditional manufacturing. At present, it has already reached cooperation with Haier, Midea, Lenovo and other giants, and this time Baidu also ushered in the first AI hardware.

Baidu brain is called 218.8 billion times a day

At the Baidu World Congress 2016, Baidu's artificial intelligence platform "Baidu Brain" was released, which combines four functions of voice, image, natural language processing and user portrait. At the AI ​​conference in July, Baidu announced the opening of the most complete AI platform in China - Baidu Brain + Smart Cloud, which basically covers all the technical fields of artificial intelligence, and it carries many application scenarios.

In the past year, Baidu’s four brains have rapidly evolved and the scale of application has expanded rapidly. At present, Baidu's brain has opened more than 80 core AI capabilities. The number of developers accessing Baidu's AI open platform exceeds 370,000. Baidu's brain has been called by internal and external products for 218.8 billion times a day.

Baidu's four basic capabilities of speech recognition, image recognition, natural language understanding, user portraits, these technologies are now mostly available to developers through the form of an open platform. Li Yanhong said, "When everyone uses a variety of apps and uses a variety of home appliances and hardware devices, it is likely to be able to call Baidu’s brain, but the brand outside does not use the Baidu brand, but It has been called very frequently."

Baidu brain technology advancement is also constantly pushing for more Baidu product innovation. Li Yanhong demonstrated the driver fatigue monitoring system based on image recognition technology at the conference site, and judged by infrared face recognition to remind drivers to avoid fatigue driving. Baidu has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with FAW Group to jointly promote the technology products.

At the conference, Baidu also launched Baidu 10.0, a mobile phone that combines search and information flow. Through Baidu's 100 billion level attribute and relationship knowledge map and user portrait, Baidu information stream makes information acquisition simpler, and makes information acquisition interaction more natural and experience more realistic through innovative technologies such as voice and AR.

The latest data shows that the cumulative number of mobile phone Baidu activation has exceeded 2 billion, the daily average monthly growth of information flow is 36%, and the average daily broadcast volume of short video is 38%. With simpler acquisition, more natural interaction, and a more realistic experience, Baidu Mobile leads the new mobile era with a new information service experience.

At the same time, in the field of video entertainment, through artificial intelligence technology, iQiyi has realized a series of closed loops such as intelligent creation, intelligent production, intelligent annotation, intelligent distribution, intelligent playback, intelligent realization, and intelligent customer service to create a video brain. Using deep learning-based traffic prediction, video highlight analysis, analysis and understanding of video, and the ability to identify user intent, in the new mobile era, iQiyi will be more entertaining, understand users, understand content, and understand partners.

This conference can be seen as a centralized product output of Baidu AI capabilities. As the last level of Baidu AI Ecology, the mass production of commercial products means that Baidu has completed the top-level closed loop of artificial intelligence strategy, Baidu AI technology bottom layer. At the partner level, the application level is closer to perfection.

Lu Qi, president and chief operating officer of Baidu Group, pointed out: "In the future, Baidu will continue to launch a series of innovative products driven by AI. We will make AI visible and tangible, let AI enter everyone's life and do it. Know your products better and make the world easier."

"Open" accelerates Baidu unmanned car

Baidu’s unmanned vehicle received a ticket, which may be China’s first traffic penalty for autonomous vehicles. At the Baidu World Congress 2017, Baidu founder, chairman and CEO Li Yanhong did not care too much about this, and said that "the driverless ticket has arrived, will the production of unmanned vehicles be far behind?"

Accordingly, Baidu is drawing closer to the mass production schedule for driverless cars. Li Yanhong pointed out at the press conference that Baidu plans to cooperate with Jinlong to realize the small-scale mass production and trial operation of driverless minibuses at the end of July 2018, and jointly launched with Jianghuai and Beiqi in 2019 and Chery in 2020. Unmanned car. In the industry view, Baidu is at the forefront in terms of difficulty in implementation and development in China.

The open strategy may be the reason why Baidu's unmanned car mass production can land so quickly. In many areas of artificial intelligence technology, Baidu has always adopted an attitude of positive empowerment and self-improvement.

In the same way as the rise of Microsoft's Windows desktop operating system and Google's Android mobile operating system, Baidu did not choose to "close the door." "Baidu will be All in AI, our core strategy in the AI ​​era is open empowerment, and our future must be based on a win-win situation with each developer." Lu Qi said at the Baidu AI Technology Conference in July. "The success of developers is the success of Baidu. This is the core value of Baidu's AI platform."

At the Shanghai Auto Show on April 19 this year, Baidu announced the launch of Apollo, an open ecosystem of autonomous driving technology, to provide software platforms and solution services, and to adopt a platform-based ecosystem model. Baidu intends to make Apollo "Android for the automotive industry", the future of the car's intelligent operating system platform.

Baidu Apollo plans to provide a complete set of hardware, software and service solutions to the automotive industry and autonomous driving partners, including vehicle platforms, hardware platforms, software platforms, cloud data services and other four parts. "Openness" allows more companies to enter the market, and "enable" software and hardware integration capabilities, so that Baidu and partners work together to accelerate the advent of the era of intelligent driving.

In September, Baidu upgraded the autopilot platform Apollo, plans to invest 10 billion yuan in three years, completed more than 100 related autopilot industry investments, obtained resources through capital investment, docked with Apollo Eco, and reduced the obstacles to mass production of autonomous vehicles. .

The data shows that since the opening of Apollo at the beginning of the year, more than 6,000 developers worldwide have voted for the Apollo project on the open source software hosting platform Github, with more than 1,700 partners using Apollo open source code and more than 100 partners applying for open data.

It can be clearly seen that Internet giants such as Baidu are trying to export AI capabilities through open platforms, lowering developer thresholds, and accelerating the commercialization of Chinese artificial intelligence technologies in different scenarios.

Whether it is DuerOS or Apollo, output technology, capabilities and even data will be a key step for Baidu to become an AI open ecosystem builder. After the deep AI technology was deposited, it became the commercialization and commercialization path of Baidu AI.
