On the 110th anniversary of Turing's birth, has the prediction of intelligent machine come true?

1912 Years of today , Alan · The birth of Turing .“ Machines may one day be able to think like humans ”, This great father of artificial intelligence once made such a prediction .

If Turing is still alive , It will be gratifying to find that his prediction is becoming a reality step by step . He walked into a restaurant , The temperature measuring robot will measure his temperature first . After self-service ordering , The robot chef is busy . It won't take long , The meal ticket was sent to him by the robot waiter …… Nowadays, the popularity of mobile robots , The future that Turing predicted is not far away .

stay AI Driven by digital technology , Mobile robots gradually show their sensitivity 、 Accuracy 、 collaborative 、 Workload 、 Security and other advantages , It has been successfully applied in many industries , This has become a market segment with great potential .

In recent years , The mobile robot industry in China and even in the world is developing rapidly . According to the International Federation of robots （IFR） data , The use of autonomous mobile robots in public places will increase significantly , Global unit sales are expected to increase by 40% The rate of growth 1. In China, ,2021 year , Enterprises in the Chinese market sell mobile robots for industrial applications as a whole 2020 Annual growth 75.61%, The market sales reached 126 One hundred million yuan 2. Industry 、 logistics 、 Electric power 、 retail 、 The hospital …… Mobile robots are coming to us in more and more scenes Say Hi.

But to fully tap the value potential of the mobile robot market , Robot suppliers are also facing diversified market demand 、 High technical threshold 、 Multiple challenges brought by the difficulty of software and hardware debugging . thus , Intel joined hands to build a mobile robot controller solution , Provides pre integration 、 Pre optimized mobile robot computing platform , It can help users to be more efficient 、 Design customized mobile robots with strong market competitiveness at low cost , Meet the needs of more scenario based applications .
