Since it officially entered the robot industry in 2018 and independently developed the first intelligent robot product "Computer Room Inspection Robot", in just a few years, JD Digits has become a dark horse in the robot industry. Aiming at the starry sea of ??technological innovation, JD Digits insists on going from 0 to 1, doing "the most painful, tiring and valuable things" on the track of robots, and has successively released a number of industry-leading AI robot products, and passed The partner ecosystem provides solutions for multiple scenarios such as communications, transportation, energy, medical care, and government affairs. It serves the industry with the TIE model of the technology industry ecology, and continuously creates value for customers and society.

It is understood that so far, JD Digital’s AI robot series products have been deployed to serve the People’s Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Railway Information Engineering Group, Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, Beijing No. The Third Intermediate People's Court and many other large enterprises and institutions.

JD Digits’ achievements in the field of AI robots are not only the industry recognition that JD Digits’ AI robots have advanced with the industry, served the real industry, and helped the industry to upgrade intelligently, but also JD Digits’ “ Under the concept of "AI drives industrial digitalization", it is based on independent technological innovation and provides an example of "Technology, Industry, Ecosystem" all-round connection (TIE) services for industrial partners.

In the era of industrial automation, robots are called "the crown jewel of the manufacturing industry." Driven by automation capabilities, production capacity can be effectively released, social productivity has been greatly improved, and ultimately achieved the greatness of the era. ; In the context of the digital age, with the rapid development of science and technology, technological development is changing with each passing day. Based on the blessing of AI technology, what new changes and directions will there be in the future in terms of product forms, service scenarios and business models of AI robots? How will we refresh people's understanding and expand unknown boundaries?

JD Digital’s AI robots, which have won many awards in the field of robotics, may have given us part of the answer through the eye-catching performance of a series of products in industry applications.

According to Yao Xiujun, general manager of JD Digital’s Intelligent Robot Business Department, AI technology is a watershed in the development of the robotics industry, representing the transition from the automation era to a new intelligence era. "Before the large-scale combination of AI and robots, automation was mainly used to solve some problems of repetitive labor and labor intensity. AI robots need to integrate a large amount of external data, and their ability to perceive the environment will make decisions. Unified collaboration, which is some collaboration between its own hardware environment, and collaboration between machines and humans will also be enhanced.

"

Facing the future of intelligent robots, JD Digits has innovatively proposed the concept of "three brains and three bodies" in the industry. Cloud brain is cloud computing. With the powerful computing power of the cloud, it helps AI robots effectively solve complex problems. Various problems in the scene; the computer brain is the edge computing processing power, which can solve personalized problems in specific scenes; the human brain is the brain power of humans, and humans participate in interacting with robots to accelerate the intelligent evolution of robots. A physical entity is needed to truly interact with the outside world. Based on this, mechanical bodies, digital bodies, and human bodies will be produced.

Regarding how to create application value between the "three brains and three bodies", Yao Xiujun said. , “The three-brain and three-body systems are not isolated, and their integration and data interaction will become stronger and stronger. Moreover, with the development of the entire intelligent technology and the robot industry, a network system of robots will gradually be formed, greatly improving the efficiency of robots and effectively improving the collaboration capabilities between robots. ”

“We believe that the robot industry will maintain sustained and rapid development in 1-3 years, and there will be a relatively large explosive period within 5 years.” In the face of the broad prospects for the development of AI robots, Yao Xiujun believes that challenges Still, “how to effectively drive down the costs of the upper supply chain. Take robots as an example. At this stage, the cost of its large-scale core components, such as lidar, drivers, sensors, chips, etc., has dropped significantly in the past two years. Whether this trend can continue in the future will also affect the market application of AI and other technological equipment to a certain extent. ”

Serving the industry with AI robots means truly getting into the industry and solving industry problems. Yao Xiujun believes that “robots are not a traditional Internet method. It is difficult to achieve B-oriented business by relying on Internet traffic or precision marketing.” The industrialization of end scenarios can truly solve the pain points in actual industries. The industrial chain of robots is extremely long. The construction of capabilities such as technology research and development, production investment, and implementation operation and maintenance requires in-depth analysis of industrial scenarios, working with partners, staying calm, and accumulating over a long period of time. ”

It is also in this pragmatic spirit of the service industry that JD Digital AI robots rely on continuous accumulation of technical strength to provide valuable services for multiple industrial scenarios. For example, during this year’s epidemic, The computer room inspection AI robot has been implemented in the ICBC data center. Through automatic inspection, human body tracking and following, data identification and analysis and other functions, it can replace manual real-time monitoring of computer room environmental information, equipment operating status, equipment temperature information, etc., and achieve fault alarms. and asset inventory. It is understood that the computer room inspection robot can complete the inspection of a single cabinet in an average of 30 seconds, and the detection accuracy reaches more than 98%. The SLAM autonomous navigation accuracy error is within 20 mm, which greatly improves the digitalization and management of operation and maintenance. The level of intelligence is estimated to reduce the data center's computer room operation and maintenance costs by 50% per year.

JD Digits also teamed up with Silver Wings Medical during the epidemic to urgently deploy and launch the system in just 20 days. The indoor delivery AI robot was quickly implemented in the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center to assist medical staff in the intelligent delivery of medicines and supplies, saving 50% of the hospital's manpower, improving work efficiency while reducing the risk of infection; in addition , based on the background of the relocation of the Beijing Third Intermediate People's Court and the construction of smart courts, JD Digits has also "renovated" a file transport robot based on the universal chassis of an indoor transport robot to assist in file transport and reduce the non-trial work of case handlers. Burden.

However, simple product breakthroughs in multiple scenarios are not JD Digits’ ambition to make robots. Instead, it hopes to polish its basic capabilities through existing products and open up basic capabilities to the segmentation of the robot industry. market and build an industrial chain ecosystem. “Based on our own product capabilities, we will open up all capabilities, such as software SDK, hardware interfaces, electrical standards, etc., to allow partners to adapt to more complex and personalized scenarios. , and JD Digits is the one doing ecological and platform things. "Yao Xiujun said.

Facing the industry opportunities and challenges in the development of AI robots, JD Digital AI robots will advance with the industry through the TIE model, continue to promote technological innovation in the process of industrial digitalization, and cooperate with partners Build a robot industry ecosystem.
