Started in a robot dance of welcome today's interview, Yu Zhichen look very busy, spirit is very full. Without the decoration of the room, start-up symbol is engraved, in the slightly shabby environment, Yu Zhichen and his team are quietly gave birth to the dream of robots for research and development in the country.
Join the AI, Yu Zhichen's ten-year Trek
According to Yu Zhichen introduced, starting from in the 1980 of the 20th century, scientists began research on artificial intelligence, until 2001, after the film of the artificial intelligence have attracted the public's attention. Young Yu Zhichen said they caught up with the AI air ones. There is always a right for you Intel for six
Starting from freshman, majoring in applied mathematics under the guidance of Professor Yu Zhichen He Zhongxiong entered the door to artificial intelligence, and published a number of AI academic papers at University. After graduating from University, Yu Zhichen chose soft company, embedded machine translation product development work. 2009 development of wormhole speech aides began a business career, and the following year set up a light year is infinite. Now, as the first companies engaged in Chinese semantic and cognitive computing, Turing Chinese semantic recognition accuracy rate of up to 90%, and also have a large number of partners.
Turing's official website shows that its partnership with Microsoft, IBM, Baidu, Haier, HTC, China Telecom in the column. According to Yu Zhichen said that Microsoft and IBM saw a Turing machine in Chinese semantic identification of significant results, built-in small hi to HTC phones, Telecom smart customer service system, Le Carr for investment in-vehicle systems are Turing robot applications, such as typical cases. And Yu Zhichen are most proud of is NAO robot with Chinese semantic recognition capabilities, which may be why Turing machines promising one reason for home service robot.
Turing's goals and status
Although Turing who achieved good results, but similar products is also increasing, Apple's Siri, flying voice Assistant, Baidu manipulators, Microsoft Cortana and the little ice and so on. Faced with these opponents, Yu Zhichen without any fear, did not simply talk about the Turing machine of the future will be in the emotional robot pepper faced competition in the market. Yu Zhichen humanoid robot is pointing to the future, and the first thing he'll do is research of robot emotion.
Yu Zhichen believes that emotions can be quantified, emotion recognition is a process of data to quantify, Turing would probably include emotion recognition in the next generation. Robot is a typical representative of the data collection study, Turing robot API was opened last November, in 9 months attracted more than 80,000 developers, covers micro-letter public, intelligent home appliances, Sina, QQ robot, and so on. "More data come in, Turing people improve recognition accuracy by a mile", from the Yu Zhichen's words, you can feel his excitement.
Yu Zhichen said that Turing's open platform when it was launched last year, users testing the accurate recognition rate is not satisfactory, and even some media made artificial intelligence does not mature judgment. In just six months later, Turing machines, the people benefited from large data iteration effects snowball and greatly increase the accuracy. From reporters and carrying Turing NAO robot interaction, user experience is really a lot.
It is worth mentioning that, Yu Zhichen said Pepper's potential competitors, Japan, SOFTBANK Group and France Aldebaran Robotics of cooperation in research and development, Yu Zhichen and his team in emotional Robotics courage and confidence.
Robot into the family of barriers and opportunities
When asked about Turing people to Siri's competition, and whether it will now fire the drones, smart when hardware makers, Yu Zhichen's answer was that he was optimistic about a home service robot applications.
Yu Zhichen explained that the Turing machine who have reached 7-8 children's ability to understand, may seem very childish adults, but children are very smart. In his view, current robots can serve as a child's Playmate, and learn with the child. For adults, every scene has a lot of life, will undoubtedly increase the pressure on robot cognition, and child's life only thirty or forty, he believed that robot is an entry into the family of the child.
On cost control in the household robot, Yu Zhichen is optimistic. When the robots also exist in the laboratory when customization of the product cost in the millions of millions of RMB, and small volume production of the NAO robot priced at about 100,000 once mass production costs will be significantly reduced. In addition, Yu Zhichen bullish on domestic manufacturers of generic skills, worth 100,000 NAO robot, imitation costs at home, but hundreds of Yuan, he also personally to a robot domestic manufacturers of generic, and says that shanzhai products to complete the NAO90% function. In an interview, Yu Zhichen said future plans to launch robotic products and cooperation partners.
For the future development of robots, Yu Zhichen spoke about his views before 2017 a robot will focus on the development of hardware, software in after outbreak. This process, like Smartphones, only a certain level of hardware development, a wide range of applications will be developed. He thinks the robot is likely to be the next development platform, various scenarios such as recreation, education, cleaning attention. Meanwhile, Yu Zhichen now the definition of a Turing machine as the first generation, the whole cloud in your second generation transmission, the third generation of control functions, and progressive realization of the Intelligent robot and platform properties.
In addition, Yu Zhichen think robots will be the entrance to the smart home of the family, will be the best man and family connections. So, home robot market demand will continue to enlarge, the robot into the family "singularity" is getting closer.
In sum, Turing people we see entrepreneurs by dedication and persistence, also saw the roots of artificial intelligence. More than 20 years ago, Bill Gates dream of placing a computer on the desk of every family, and maybe one day, Turing people into millions of households.
