Recently, important news came from the technology industry that vivo officially announced the establishment of robot LAB (laboratory), which marks the further expansion of vivo in the field of intelligent technology. It is reported that the laboratory will focus on the incubation and research and development of robot products, especially in the field of home robots. This strategic layout has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions in the industry.
In response to this news, the reporter of "Daily Economic News" immediately asked vivo for verification. vivo official response said that the establishment of robot LAB is a normal business adjustment for the company, and revealed that more specific information about robot business will be officially announced at the upcoming Boao Forum for Asia. This response not only confirms the authenticity of the news, but also makes people look forward to the future development of vivo in the robot field.
In fact, vivo's attention to the robotics industry was not on a whim. As early as December 2023, Hu Baishan, executive vice president and chief operating officer of vivo, publicly stated that humanoid robots are one of the industries that vivo may focus on in the future. He believes that the mobile phone industry has unique advantages in the field of robots, and vivo has two core technical foundations: First, vivo's continuous evolution of the blue-heart model can be used as the "brain" of humanoid robots, giving it powerful intelligence capabilities; second, MR (mixed reality) technology can enhance the robot's spatial perception ability, thereby improving the human-computer interactive experience.
Hu Baishan further pointed out that when these two technologies mature, vivo has the ability to overcome 80% of the technical difficulties, and the remaining 20% is mainly concentrated in the ability output of robot mechanical components. In this regard, vivo also showed full confidence and believed that this shortcoming can be made up through technological research and development and resource integration.
It is worth noting that vivo's entry into the field of robots is not only a technological exploration, but also a reflection of corporate social responsibility. Hu Baishan emphasized that the future application of robots in medical care, elderly care and other scenarios is expected to alleviate the human resources shortage faced by society. With the establishment of vivo robot LAB, whether this technology giant can set off a new wave in the robot track may reveal more answers at the upcoming Boao Forum for Asia. This strategic layout not only demonstrates vivo's ambitions in the field of intelligent technology, but also injects new vitality into the development of the entire industry.
