Qu Daokui, President of Xinsong: the era of robot 2.0 is robot + artificial intelligence
Abstract: the jobs that humans really like are difficult to be replaced by machines. The jobs that can be replaced are often those that humans don't want to engage in or high-risk jobs
what changes will be brought about when robots are combined with artificial intelligence? A remarkable sign is that robots will enter the era of 2.0 from 1.0. Qu Daokui, President of Xinsong robot company, a leading robot enterprise in China, said in an exclusive interview that entering the era of 2.0, robots have the functions of collaboration, cognition and perception. In the era of 1.0, the indicators of robot quality, production efficiency, precision and speed emphasized gradually fade, and the collaborative ability, autonomous and semi autonomous intelligent ability of robots with people are emphasized. What changes will the 2.0 era bring to the manufacturing industry? Will it bring a wave of unemployment? As a veteran of the robot industry, Qu Daokui has unique observations
Qu Daokui, President of Xinsong robot
: what are the considerations behind Xinsong's active deployment of artificial intelligence and the establishment of an artificial intelligence research institute in Lingang, Shanghai
Qu Daokui: over the years, Xinsong has actively promoted the research and application of artificial intelligence in the robot field, successfully achieved the deep integration of artificial intelligence and robot technology, and built the whole industrial chain. With leading robot technology and artificial intelligence, Xinsong has developed a number of technologies to greatly improve the degree of intelligence and data of robots. At present, it has developed visual image processing system, speech semantic recognition system, face gesture recognition system, etc., and has successfully applied relevant technologies in industrial robots, service robots and other products
the establishment of AI research institute in Shanghai is our strategic layout. As a center of international talent, technology, capital and other innovative resources, Shanghai has unique advantages in innovation driven and industrial upgrading. By strengthening its research and development in Shanghai, Xinsong is to vigorously promote artificial intelligence and intelligent manufacturing industries, and help the construction of science and innovation centers and the strategy of strengthening the country
therefore, this system has high accuracy: how to view the changes that AI will bring to the industry
Qu Daokui: Nowadays, AI technology has made great progress in the field of deep learning and robotics. Robot is an important carrier and application field of artificial intelligence technology, and robot is an important tool of intelligent manufacturing. The development of artificial intelligence technology provides infinite possibilities for robots to accelerate intellectualization. If artificial intelligence is an abstract technology and concept, then robots materialize and apply this technology. It is artificial intelligence that makes robots have "wisdom". The robot itself is a big technology platform, integrating various cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing, IOT, big data, artificial intelligence, etc. it is precisely because of the continuous development and integration of these technologies that the robot itself has undergone qualitative changes and become the number one player in the intelligent era
robots have begun to move towards the era of intelligence, that is to say, robots have gradually evolved from machines to humans. Today, robots begin to enter the era of 2.0 intelligence. Robot is not only a carrier and a link in intelligent manufacturing production line, but also an intelligent platform, which can provide flexible and customized production and various related value-added services. Robots have become a technological ecological platform for robots from traditional machines, equipment and technology. This platform can add different things, support different fields and industries, and form different subversions and changes. The most typical one is robot + intelligent manufacturing. The combination of robot and manufacturing has formed the change of manufacturing mode
in addition, in the development process of artificial intelligence, the basic technology and applied technology have made considerable progress. Artificial intelligence is not only widely used in the robot industry, but also has large-scale applications in many vertical fields, such as driverless, medical, security and so on
: when robots become more intelligent, what changes will they bring to the whole manufacturing industry
Qu Daokui: the era of robot 2.0 is robot + artificial intelligence. Robot 2.0 is driving a new round of industrial revolution, including changes in manufacturing mode and lifestyle. Robot + artificial intelligence will make manufacturing more flexible and intelligent. Make the production organization form and production mode of manufacturing industry undergo disruptive changes. For example, robots embed autonomous decision-making technologies such as vision and ultrasound, and the in-depth integration of data formed by various perception systems, so as to realize the automatic planning, operation, classification and inspection of robots. At the same time, network technology is used to carry out social system analysis through big data, plus the integration of multiple sensors, vision, navigation, sensing, control, etc., to form intelligent manufacturing
it can be said that robot + artificial intelligence will solve the problems faced by China's manufacturing industry in the process of promoting intelligent transformation. AI is supporting traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing from many aspects, injecting new momentum into the development of manufacturing industry from big to strong, driving the transformation and upgrading of enterprise intelligent manufacturing, and AI empowers intelligent manufacturing
: will the emergence of more and more intelligent robots bring unemployment
Qu Daokui: in fact, with the development of robots now, and even in the next visible years, it is difficult for machines to do some very important work that human beings can do, and even in some directions, artificial intelligence will never reach. The jobs that humans really like are difficult to be replaced by machines. The jobs that can be replaced are often those that humans don't want to engage in or high-risk jobs. For example, welding, cutting, grinding, spraying and other industries that have been replaced on a large scale have been replaced by robots. With the development of robots, writing robots, chat robots, and assistant robots used in banks have emerged. Many people are worried that machines or artificial intelligence will replace some human jobs. However, the current situation is that the unemployment rate in these countries with large-scale application of new technologies, especially those with leading robot technology, is relatively low. While robots replace some jobs, they will create a large number of new jobs more suitable for human beings. This can be understood as an inevitable evolution
: what are the considerations of Xinsong in positioning Shanghai as an international headquarters
Qudaokui: Shanghai is located in the center of the Yangtze River Delta economic circle and is the most important economic center in China. In 2017, Shanghai has ushered in a period of fastest growth in the sales of microelectronics, biomedicine, integrated circuits, intelligent manufacturing, brain like chips, stone extrusion machinery and other fields, and promoted the construction of the first six R & D and transformation functional platforms. There are more than 400 Foreign-Funded R & D centers in Shanghai, ranking first in China, of which the global R & D centers of the world's top 500 enterprises account for about one tenth. At the same time, Shanghai has strong urban core kinetic energy, scientific and technological innovation ability, brand building ability, and the ability to gather talents, which constitute the great development of Shanghai in the field of artificial intelligence. These are also the reasons why Xinsong set up its international headquarters in Shanghaion December 28, 2017, Xinsong port industrial base, covering an area of about 200 mu, was officially opened. The industrial base is mainly used for the pilot test and production of new intelligent robot products and core components. The products include Xinsong cooperative robot, double arm cooperative robot, mobile double arm cooperative robot, light load composite robot, etc. at the same time, 2 It is an automatic flexible production line of a new generation of intelligent robot products with the functions of experimental force clearing, peak holding, parameter setting, calibration and fine adjustment. Xinsong robotics and Artificial Intelligence Research Institute and Xinsong industry 4.0 comprehensive research institute were also officially awarded on the same day
the completion of Xinsong port industrial base will become one of the important carriers for Xinsong to connect with the world, make Xinsong industrial 4.0 system solutions more convenient to serve global manufacturing enterprises, radiate countries along the "the Belt and Road", make the coordinated development of China's robot industry, and have a positive significance for promoting the adjustment, transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industrial structure
