With the rapid development of intelligent robots, there has been a large market in the field of consumer robots, which were once not favored by people. For different functions, there have also gradually emerged market segments such as sweeping robots and cleaning robots. Robots that focus on life and companionship are also one of them. Mr. Gold Xiaobai is a boutique series focusing on this field.
However, with the rapid development of the market, the ambition of Gold has not only been limited to life companion robots, but also actively deployed in the field of smart home. Although Internet giants have joined this battlefield, Gold, who has made some achievements in the large-scale market, is obviously not worried. Today's protagonist, Gongzi Xiaobai Pro, is the stepping stone for Gowild to enter the consumer smart home market. It is not only the interactive terminal of the Gowild smart home system, but also carries the expectation of Gowild to break the market pattern. Let's take a look at the specific performance of Gongzi Xiaobai Pro.
Unpacking and product introduction
Unlike other cleaning robots with strong functions and very specific purposes, life companion robots seem to be less specific, but after in-depth understanding, they will feel that they are actually "omnipotent", and life companion is only a small part of them.
In terms of appearance, it continues the classic appearance of the childe Xiaobai series, which is still so cute. No matter men, women, old or young, can deny its loveliness. However, compared with the previous one, the size of the childe Xiaobai Pro has changed a lot. It is much larger than the growth version and youth version, but it is still small as a whole. What is consistent with this is that it is also much more powerful in function, no longer just "life companion", but also integrated with the voice control terminal of smart home.
With the rapid development of the robot industry and the increase of the same type of products, the market competition of life companion is becoming increasingly fierce. The relatively narrow user market has been unable to meet the needs of the rapid development of Gold, and transformation is also imperative. For this reason, the childe Xiaobai series has boldly expanded its functions on the basis of its own existing functions, and smart home is one of the directions. In order to adapt to such changes, the childe Xiaobai Pro takes on the important task of the smart home voice control terminal. Voice and interaction, everything must pass through this cute little fat man, which also means that the childe Xiaobai Pro will become the "front man" of the Gold smart home ecosystem in the future.
After actively laying out the smart home market, the application scope of childe Xiaobai Pro will no longer be limited to the scene of life company, but will become the control terminal of the whole room. However, instead of rolling out a lot of smart hardware, Goldold chose the smart socket with the highest user acceptance and the lowest price, which is also the most stable solution at this stage. Although the concept of smart home is no longer new, it is still in the stage of exploration. Many manufacturers have launched appliances that are "smart for smart". For most families, appliances belong to large items that are "not bad and will not be replaced". It is not wise to buy a "pseudo smart" appliance at this stage.
At the same time, another problem of smart home is the ecological chain. Generally speaking, the choice of an intelligent platform is often the choice of a whole set of smart homes. For most users, it is not realistic to replace a full set of homes in order to experience "intelligence", while the replacement cost of a relatively inexpensive smart socket is much lower, which is quite friendly for users who want to try something new. In order to meet this demand of users, Young Master Xiaobai Pro has two customized smart sockets, which can be directly paired with Young Master Xiaobai Pro. After successful pairing, you can quickly control various smart devices in your home, such as asking the childe Xiaobai Pro to turn off the rice cooker half an hour later, or turn off the air conditioner by voice. Everything can be done by voice, which is very convenient.
In addition, Gold has also created a supporting APP for this purpose. Users can control all intelligent devices remotely after installation, and no longer need to worry about such trivial things as forgetting to turn off the lights and air conditioners. Although the coverage of Gowild is not comprehensive yet, with the maturity of technology and the improvement of market acceptance, we believe that Gowild will gradually launch more and more products.
Airframe design and details
In terms of fuselage details, the childe Xiaobai Pro is divided into head and fuselage.
The middle of the top of the fuselage is a power switch, and the four holes around are four radio microphones to collect the sound from users at different angles and distances.
The head is equipped with an IPS display screen with a size of 3.97 inches, a resolution of 800 * 480, and can rotate around 120 degrees. More interestingly, in order to maximize personification, the childe Xiaobai Pro can rotate according to the user's voice source, create an atmosphere of real interaction between machines and people, and reduce the threshold for users to use.
The upper part of the screen is equipped with a 5 megapixel camera, which follows the head rotation and has a shooting angle of about 180 degrees.
Through the supporting mobile phone APP, you can remotely view the status of your home, and support real-time voice calls. You can talk with your family or pets at any time, and miss them without distance.
In addition, it also has a built-in infrared remote control covering 360 degrees. No matter where it is placed, it can achieve full angle remote control. This full coverage design is very considerate. Excellent products need to be meticulous in such details.
The fuselage part contains 15600mAh super capacity lithium battery, which can run independently for about 20 hours even if it is separated from the base, greatly enriching the use scenarios. When it needs to be moved to other rooms or locations for use, it can be used on the go, no longer limited by power supply, and is fast and convenient.
The charging interface is located at the bottom of the machine body, and the ring contact type contact is used. The details are handled very carefully, and the workmanship is very good.
Equipped with a charging base, the bottom is the corresponding three-point charging contact. Gently place the childe Xiaobai Pro on the base to automatically start charging, which is very convenient to use.
In daily state, the childe Xiaobai Pro can be placed on the base all the time, which will not affect normal use while charging.
In terms of configuration, the machine uses eight core RAM A7 processor, 1GB DDR3 memory, and 8GB built-in storage. For the companion robot, the powerful computing power of this configuration is enough to support the computing needs of the GAVE AI system. Advanced AI algorithm and strong hardware configuration together form the intelligent computing system of Gongzi Xiaobai Pro, which is also the "heart" of an intelligent product.
The robot with accompanying function has a very powerful artificial intelligence system. Gold has developed an artificial intelligence virtual life engine for it, GAVE for short. The AI engine supports many functions such as knowledge mapping, big data analysis and mining, machine learning, etc. It can provide a strong background intelligent algorithm support for Gongzi Xiaobai Pro, which is also where the core competitiveness of Gold lies.
Of course, as a life companion robot, its AI engine is no less than that of most smart speakers, so the functions of smart speakers are nothing to mention. With the help of GAVE intelligent AI system, music, story, poetry recitation, calculation, translation, weather query and other functions based on voice interaction can be realized. Common problems in life can be interacted through voice interaction, which is very convenient to use. Moreover, the threshold for entry is very low, and there is no learning cost.
Two symmetrical 3W speakers are equipped on both sides of the fuselage, and Gold has equipped it with a powerful music library, so users can play on demand or randomly. Although the configuration of the audio unit is not very powerful, the sound quality performance is fairly good due to the design of the resonant cavity structure, and the pressure of daily listening to music is not great. Although it can well complete the task of smart speakers, users cannot have too high requirements for its sound quality. After all, it is not a full-time smart speaker.
In addition to these more conventional functions, the childe Xiaobai Pro also has a unique pairing function. The two paired childe Xiaobai Pro can interact remotely, such as ordering songs or whispering to each other. Although it is not a necessary function, it is very interesting to use it.
summary
As one of the first companies to enter the field of companion robots, Gold has been deeply involved in this field for many years. It has accumulated rich experience in the field of life companion, especially in the field of infant companion with early education. After experiencing severe competition and screening in the intelligent hardware market, Gold has become more cautious in the field of intelligent robots. While strengthening and improving intelligent care, it also pays close attention to the layout of the smart home market. Although it is still in the unknown stage in the consumer market, in fact, Gold has accumulated sufficient experience in the B-end. Only in 2017, he has successively participated in the construction of Beijing COFCO Tianheng Tianyue No.1 high-end community Malaysia Country Garden Forest City, Weifang Aowen International City, Anqing Times Light, Zhuhai Mangshubieyuan and many other large high-end smart communities have provided them with a full set of smart home solutions. Their business scope covers the first, second and third tier cities in China, as well as parts of Southeast Asia and the Indian market.
At present, Gold has reached cooperation with more than 100 smart home manufacturers, including monitoring system, lighting system, security system, audio and video system, air conditioning control, etc., which has formed a smart home ecosystem built around Gold. In addition, Gold has also reached cooperation with Greenland Group, Country Garden, Mingfa Group and other real estate developers, and will continue to provide complete smart home solutions for smart communities. This entry of Gowild into the retail market is just the work accumulated after accumulating sufficient experience on the B-end. In the field of smart home, where the platform is above all else, there is no core competitiveness without the ecological chain. Gowild's strategy of attacking the consumer market from the B-end when the technology is mature also provides a completely different development idea for the vast number of smart home brands.
Although Gold has many years of experience in the B-end, it still has a steady pace in the field of consumer smart home. Instead of aiming high to launch all platform smart hardware at one go, it has started the road of smart home from the simplest, lowest cost, and most popular smart socket, making steady progress step by step, It is believed that when the time is ripe, Gowild will also gradually open its smart home platform. Here, I would like to praise the strategic layout of Gowild.
