In September last year, Peng Xing Intelligence, an ecological enterprise of Xiaopeng Auto, released the world’s first rideable intelligent machine horse. It is reported that the intelligent machine horse is based on Peng Xing’s intelligent innovative quadruped robot architecture design, with multi-dimensional environmental perception, agile and stable movement, and intelligent emotional interaction capabilities, positioning it as “Xiaopeng Friends’ first intelligent transportation.”
The intelligent machine horse has a car-level intelligent driving system, which can identify the environment and objects, build maps, and plan paths through cameras and LIDAR, with functions such as autonomous movement, target following, and automatic obstacle avoidance.
In addition, the machine horse has powerful voice interaction, face and voice recognition, can express emotions through the face screen, and has tactile perception.
With special loading accessories, this machine horse provides consignment function anytime and anywhere when you pick up, shop, run at night or hike.
Almost a year after its release, how far has this robot horse progressed today? Recently, He Xiaopeng went to @XiaoPengPengXing’s laboratory to visit the relevant test project.
This machine horse is still in the DEMO (beta) stage, but has been able to recognize some simple instructions, and make the corresponding action, such as “away from me”, “turn to the left”, etc., on the results of the field test. The recognition rate and execution rate are quite high.
And according to He Xiaopeng, in the second half of this year will do the official version of this machine horse, body size to be much smaller and lighter than the test version, while he also said that in the future can bring the robot to the home, become the new partner of the family.
And in the experimental process there are also several small eggs, such as failure to accurately identify instructions, the machine horse froze on the spot, even if He Xiaopeng personally vocalized also did not help, causing the onlookers could not help but to let out a laugh.
He Xiaopeng is not willing to wake it up again, and let it perform the “lift the right leg” command, but the machine horse currently does not have this function, just in place and can not stop stepping, so the crowd laughed again.
The video of the “early human taming intelligent robot precious video” was released, also attracted the attention of netizens, many of whom said it was quite interesting, looking forward to early mass production market, so as to get one for the children at home.
