The Success of the Tmall Genie is just the Beginning

[PConline talk] 2018 ""Double 11"", Alibaba Artificial Intelligence Lab's Tmall Genie Fangtang (TG_C1) won the Tmall platform consumer electronics industry single product sales champion, the first time other products replaced mobile phones to win this title, the times change This has suddenly appeared in front of people, causing widespread concern.

The success of the Tmall Genie

From birth to winning, but only a year or so, technology really makes time faster.

Alibaba's Artificial Intelligence Lab officially launched the Tmall Genie X1 on July 5, 2017. At that time, the Double 11 and Tmall Genie AI speakers were sold out in advance, becoming the first smart speaker in China with a shipment of over one million. As of the double 11 in 2018, the Tmall Genie has achieved the first place in the Chinese market for four consecutive quarters. Cumulative shipments of more than 5 million units

Such a large user base brings a huge advantage to the Tmall Genie. The Tmall Wizard has more than 700 features that provide tens of millions of audio content on-demand. A huge user base advantage + rich features allow it to get more than 40 million training sessions per day, using Tmall Genie for more than an hour per person per day. User data is a natural moat, because AI is trained by users, and you can do more than N questions every day.

In the smart home industry, Tmall Genie provides voice interactive portals for more than 400 home appliance brands and nearly 300 IoT platforms, supporting many brands such as Philips, Midea, Haier, Galanz, Hisense, Chigo, Konka, TCL, and Fangtai. Home appliances, products cover all aspects of life, and can connect more than 75 million smart devices. More than one hundred TOP manufacturers adopt the Tmall Bluetooth mesh second matching solution, which makes the voice intelligent control progress rapidly.

In this double 11 we saw the shining figure of the Tmall Genie smart speaker, and also saw the success of the Tmall Genie and the smart home industry ecology. However, AI does not stop at the Tmall Genie.

Smart Core AliGenie System

The success of the Tmall Genie is inseparable from the AliGenie system behind it. On October 12, 2017, Alibaba Artificial Intelligence Lab released the AliGenie open platform at Yunqi Conference. After a short year, AIiGenie has completed a huge transformation. At the Yunqi Conference in September this year, Alibaba Artificial Intelligence Lab released AliGenie3.0. Ai Baba, the general manager of the artificial intelligence laboratory, said at the conference: AliGenie 1.0 gives the Tmall Genie the ability to listen and speak. AliGenie 2.0 gives the Tmall Genie the ability to see, then AliGenie 3.0 is mobile, specific performance. For: precise positioning, self-guided navigation, high-precision map, environment perception, sensor fusion, human-computer interaction, multi-robot collaboration. AliGenie 3.0 means that the era of our mobile robots is coming.

The release of AliGenie 3.0 made mobile robots a reality. So when we saw AliGenie 3.0, we were also fortunate to see the release of the mobile robot space egg and space shuttle, which will be used in future hotels and hospitals. From hearing to walking, this seems to follow our growth rules, but Alibaba's artificial intelligence laboratory makes it all too fast.

The mobile robot is powered by AliGenie 3.0's Tmall Genie space shuttle and space egg.

The appearance of the Tmall Genie Space Egg and Space Shuttle allowed the previous intelligent AI to move from companion robots to service robots that can be developed to a certain degree of freedom.

AliGenie 3.0 from Alibaba's Artificial Intelligence Lab brings everything together and has completely got rid of our original impression that the Tmall Genie is just a smart speaker.

Cat Elf Human Machine AC Vehicle System Connected inside and outside the home

When many of our current smart products are still limited to the home, Tmall Genie has actively contacted various external use environments to expand other surrounding life scenes with the core of the home, such as the combination of car and intelligence and then the Tmall through the network. Elf contact, for example, when you are out, you can intelligently turn on the air conditioner in your car, and realize the seamless and seamless service through the network. This is an indispensable experience in the future of smart living. The Tmall Genie began to design products for the future layout at the beginning of the project.

Car Road Collaboration Alibaba's Artificial Intelligence Lab takes domestic autopilots to an important step

At this year's Yunqi Conference, Alibaba got its first self-driving vehicle license. Wang Gang, the chief scientist of the Alibaba Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, took over the license plate for the license number ""Zhejiang A4390"". At present, the test section is located in the artificial intelligence town of Hangzhou. This is the latest development in automatic driving after Ali has continuously exposed the unmanned vehicles and road-coal technical solutions.

The L4 vehicle cooperates with the self-driving new energy vehicle using Velodyne's 16-line laser radar on the front and rear sides. A Velodyne 32-line laser radar, a binocular camera, and 5 monocular cameras are installed on the roof. Other sensors, such as RTK and ultrasonic radar, are hidden in the vehicle body. Through the communication with the road installation amount to sense the base station, all weather can be realized. Autopilot.

The car travels at a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers on urban roads and is currently in the testing phase. There is still a certain amount of time from mass production. But it does achieve the interconnection of vehicles and roads to achieve automatic driving.

PConline summary

The Alibaba Artificial Intelligence Laboratory portrays us as a future life of all things, and the Tmall Genie smart speaker is just one part of the whole world. Alibaba AI Lab expects to realize people and houses, buildings, Intelligent interconnection of roads, vehicles and other scenes. Whether it is equipped with AliGenie 3.0's Tmall Genie Space Shuttle, Space Egg Action Robot, Smart Seamless Interconnected Tmall Genie In-Car System or the road-automatic driving technology, we will find Alibaba Artificial Intelligence Lab, We paint a sci-fi life scene in our dreams.

We see that the Tmall Genie is very popular with everyone, and the success of the Tmall Genie is only the beginning. I believe that the future Alibaba Artificial Intelligence Lab will bring more surprises to the world.
