The conference has specially set up a news center with a total area of about 8,300 square meters, serving more than 2,600 Chinese and foreign journalists. As a representative of the Chinese AI, Baidu’s brain-powered small-scale robot has emerged as a news center, providing media workers with intelligent services such as regional location query, face recognition, photo taking, surrounding inquiries, chat and entertainment.
As an important partner of the small robot, China Unicom has exclusively undertaken the communication service guarantee task of this conference. Prior to this, China Unicom has hosted many communications and video transmission services for important national events, including 08 Beijing Olympics, 09 National Day military parade, 14 years APEC, 15 years 93 military parade, World Athletics Championships, 17 years of “Belt and Road”, 18 Mid-African Forum, the 19th National Congress and previous party congresses, two sessions, etc.
According to reports, Meng Meng's small robot relies on Baidu brain, integrates the industry's leading natural language processing, dialogue system, voice vision and other technologies, and can smoothly communicate with users in information, service, emotion and other aspects. As a 'formal employee' of Baidu, Xiaoduo has long played an important role in the lobby of Baidu Company. It can be said that it is the facade of AI Yingbin. At the Beijing Summit of the China-Africa Cooperation Forum, Xiaodu Robot not only demonstrated the leading level of China's AI, but also solved many problems for domestic and foreign journalists.
At the summit, the intelligent service of Xiaoduo Robot left a deep impression on Chinese and foreign journalists and became the eye-catching memory of the Beijing Summit of the China-Africa Cooperation Forum. The media commented that since China launched the “Belt and Road Initiative” initiative in 2013, China has built a number of important projects in Africa to help some African countries realize the dreams of generations. In the future, we look forward to the technology represented by Baidu. Companies can also enter Africa and use the leading AI technology in China to empower Africa.
According to the reporter, the speed of development in China is surprising, especially in the field of artificial intelligence. Small robots look cute and powerful. The staff introduced that the empowerment of the small robots provided a more convenient and intelligent working environment for nearly 3,000 media personnel and improved the efficiency of the summit media center.
“Small, where is the press room?” “The press room is on the second floor, with a large release hall and a small release hall.” At the same time as the dialogue, the display on the “tummy” of the small robot has jumped out of the guide picture. Small, where is the nearest toilet? How is the weather in Beijing in the past two days? Can you take a photo of us? The small robot can provide reporters with the introduction of key topics in the China-Africa Forum and the guidance of the news center venue through dialogue and interaction. The venue network uses introduction, face recognition, photo taking and other services. The small robot's blue 'big eyes' can be photographed at a glance, and the participants can scan the QR code generated below, and the photos can be transmitted to the mobile phone, which is very convenient.
Behind the powerful features of the small robot is Baidu's deep AI ability support. Baidu Brain 3.0 has now opened more than 110 core competencies and pioneered multimodal deep semantic understanding in the industry. Baidu AI has been on the world stage as a Chinese AI business card. In January 2018, Baidu brought the autopilot platform Apollo and the dialogue AI platform DuerOS to the US CES. The rapid development of the two AI ecosystems was praised by international media such as Times, Forbes and Wired. The famous financial website Motley Fool called Baidu 'China Speed'. 'The model of innovation.' In July this year, Baidu and Jinlong Bus jointly produced the first commercial-grade driverless micro-cycle electric vehicle “Apolon”, which was officially mass-produced and sent to Beijing, Xiong’an, Shenzhen, Pingtan, Tokyo, Japan and other places. Commercial operation; in August, the number of smart device activations equipped with DuerOS exceeded 100 million units, and Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant three-point intelligent voice market.
