"Baidu has made enough gimmicks for this product. The invitation letter and on-site display sealed this product in a white box and marked it with the slogan of" bring AI to life ". LV Cheng, general manager of Baidu's intelligent hardware division and founder of Raven technology, unveiled what this product is: Raven h, an intelligent speaker.
He said that in the era of mobile Internet, mobile phones are the hottest hardware. At first, there were many forms of mobile phones, but in the end, all mobile phones were the same as the iPhone because the latter made the design most suitable for the user experience. He called it the defining product of the mobile terminal. Baidu wants to be a defining product in the era of artificial intelligence.
"What is the defining product in the era of artificial intelligence?"
Many people think it's a smart speaker. LV chengheel showed some of their forms. He called Google home, tmall elf, Amazon echo, Xiaomi Xiaoai classmates and other existing speakers in the market "paper-cut mugs, trash cans, glasses and air purifiers". LV Cheng believes that they have some intelligent functions, but many experiences do not enable users to experience deeply every day. He said that Baidu wants to do this kind of products.
LV Cheng is the founder of Raven. He has always been famous for paying attention to appearance and design. At this press conference, unlike focusing on the functions of smart speakers, he spent a lot of time introducing the design and technology of Raven H. He said that the design of this hardware is specially designed in cooperation with teenage engineering, a Swedish company. It is equipped with a 19 x 19 dot matrix touch screen, supports WiFi + Bluetooth + ZigBee, and USB type-C interface. The material is made of glass carbon.
As a music lover, after introducing the technology, LV Cheng still didn't start to introduce the function, but began to introduce the sound quality. He used the words that Tony Leung and Andy Lau said when they met in the movie Infernal Affairs:
"Sweet treble, medium pitch and deep bass."
He said that generally speaking, the larger the wall of the speaker, the better the effect, but Raven h's reference is very small. Therefore, they cooperated with tympany, a famous speaker manufacturer, to design a speaker for Raven H.
Finally, he talked about interaction. He believes that in the era of artificial intelligence, hardware should give priority to voice, not only voice, because in the home scene, users will not always be in the golden area of voice wake-up, but he believes that using mobile phone solutions back to the mobile era is "irresponsible". Raven h is also equipped with a "remote control" touch, which is the first orange module on the hardware (modular magnetic connection design). Through touch interaction, double-click play / pause, slide to cut songs, press and hold to speak to give instructions, that is, the previous interactive design of music flow.
Baidu coo Lu Qi said that Baidu voice interactive system dueros 2.0 will be released in the afternoon. This is the voice interaction system equipped with raven H.
In terms of functions, LV Cheng showed some special functions that ordinary smart speakers do not have. For example, you can say that you want to listen to the songs of several singers at the same time, not just one singer. The system will play the songs of these singers randomly. Of course, the content is related to their own Taihe music and iqiyi content.
Technically, he said that the wake-up rate within 5 meters of the hardware reached more than 90%, and the false wake-up rate was reduced,
This part of LV Cheng is obviously different from other links. It makes me think I'm at the press conference of Xiaomi or Meizu. LV Cheng spent a lot of time introducing beauty and technology, which is completely different from other executives who introduce software systems. Although LV Cheng's "comments" on the design of other speakers are a little sharp, it has to be said that Baidu's intelligent hardware product is far more lively and unrestrained than other speakers in overall tone and design, which is completely different from Baidu's previous "rational" and geek model of general speakers.
Finally, LV Cheng announced that the price of this intelligent hardware is 1699 yuan.
Well... At least in terms of price.
There will always be "one more thing" at Apple's press conference. Baidu has come to "two more things" this time: it has announced two products to be launched: a mechanical rotating shaft emotional robot Raven R and a raven Q that looks like a small black tank. Raven R is a flexible motion upgraded version of Raven h and the world's first six axis fully automatic emotional robot; Raven Q has the capabilities of face recognition, computer vision and Apollo autopilot. Baidu calls it "the ultimate hardware form integrating all the technologies of Baidu in the era of artificial intelligence"., Technology Zone
