The shape of the front face of ROBO-02 is basically the same as that of ROBO-01, with a rounded shape, equipped with penetrating daytime running lights and interactive AI pixel headlights, which integrate interactive AI pixel lights, high and low beams/turning/daytime running/position lights, and hidden lidar. Like ROBO-01, ROBO-02 is also not equipped with exterior door handles but uses 4 electric doors with silent suction doors, which can be opened in various ways including voice and Bluetooth. The shape of the through-type taillight is also the same as that of ROBO-01. It is worth mentioning that the aircraft is also equipped with an active lift-type tail.

The interior of ROBO-02 has not been officially announced, but it is speculated that it will refer to the interior of ROBO-01, providing a 35.6-inch 6K ultra-clear all-in-one screen, U-shaped steering wheel, cancellation of physical controls such as the shift lever, and a panoramic glass canopy.

In terms of intelligence, Jidu ROBO-02 should also be equipped with the same Jidu independently developed intelligent architecture JET as ROBO-01, using Qualcomm 8295 smart cabin chip and Nvidia Orin X smart driving chip. Sensors and other components, and the point-to-point pilot assist PPA will also match, so that ROBO-02 also has L4-level automatic driving capabilities.

The official power parameters of ROBO-02 have not yet been announced. Refer to the data of ROBO-01. It is equipped with a front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive system with a maximum output power of 400kW. It is equipped with a 100kWh ternary lithium battery from Ningde Times. The mileage exceeds 600km, and the official acceleration time from 100 kilometers is 3.9s.

Judging from industrial and commercial information, Jidu Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. was established on November 23 with a registered capital of 100 million US dollars. The legal representative is Xia Yiping. It is wholly owned by Jidu Automobile (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., and its business scope includes charging Pile sales, electric vehicle charging infrastructure operation, new energy vehicle sales, industrial Internet data services, etc.

According to the official website of Jidu Automobile, Jidu is an automotive robot start-up company initiated by Baidu and strategically invested by Geely. The company was formally established in March 2021 with Xia Yiping as CEO.

According to Jidu Motors, this month, due to the postponement of the auto show, the ROBO-01 will be released in early 2023. In addition, Jidu’s second model will also be unveiled soon.

It is understood that while restoring and reproducing the design of the concept car, the “moon skin” is used as the exclusive body color, and the “China Lunar Exploration” LOGO logo enhances the uniqueness of the limited edition. “LUNAR EDITION” icon silk screen. At the same time, the 21-inch aerodynamic wheels also incorporate lunar elements.

In terms of interior, the moon gravity seat integrates the star gooseneck lamp, which is ergonomically designed. The driver’s seat offers 8-way power adjustment, 4-way lumbar adjustment, a welcome feature and headrest audio.

In terms of intelligence, Jidu released the core function of the advanced intelligent driving system: Point-to-Point Pilot Assist PPA, and the ROBO-01 Moon Limited Edition will have the advanced intelligent driving capability of “three domains”: high-speed domain, urban domain and parking domain when it is officially delivered.

It is reported that the limited edition of Jidu ROBO-01 lunar exploration will start delivery next year, and Jidu’s second car robot will be released during this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show.

Jidu plans to officially launch a limited edition of its first mass-produced model this fall. The mass-produced model is 90% similar to the ROBO-01 concept car. In addition, Jidu will also release the design of its second mass-produced model at this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show.

According to previous information, the ROBO-01 concept car is equipped with many active deformable structures such as “jump light” liftable lidar, active lift tail, and foldable U-shaped steering wheel.

In addition, the integrated self-driving system is equipped with NVIDIA’s “dual” Orin X chip, and the whole vehicle is equipped with 31 external sensors, including 2 lidars, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 12 cameras.

In terms of the smart cockpit, Jidu smart cockpit has functions such as full offline voice, millisecond-level response, 3D human-machine co-driving map, and full-scene interaction inside and outside the car. Jidu will debut Qualcomm’s fourth-generation Snapdragon automotive digital cockpit platform-8295 chip, which supports the presentation of 3D effects on an unbounded integrated ultra-clear large screen; the screen also supports switching the “3D man-machine co-driving map” mode.

From the front face, the ROBO-01 Moon Probe Limited Edition has a very technological sense. The closed front face integrates AI pixel lights, which can interact with external traffic participants through the light language.

However, unlike the concept car, the production version cancels the lift lidar displayed by the concept car, and presumably puts it at the front of the car, that is, at the bottom of the headlights on both sides, and also cancels the previously displayed electronic exterior mirrors. Use traditional styles instead.

The most conspicuous parts of the body are the light gold decorative strips and the lunar probe logo, which show the identity and specialty of the car. With the large-sized multi-spoke wheels and blackened wheel eyebrows, it creates a good sports atmosphere. .

The design of the rear of the car is very simple, with a penetrating tail light strip and AI pixel lights, which can echo the light group at the front of the car, while the lift tail and spoiler are completely preserved, which enhances its performance and dynamic.

What is of concern is that the detailed picture does not show how the door of the car is opened. You must know that on the concept car, the first car of Jidu uses the design of a “scissor door” and “no B-pillar”. Will the version be preserved?

It is understood that Jidu ROBO-01 is produced from Geely’s vast SEA pure electric platform. It has L4-level autonomous driving capabilities, can move autonomously, and can communicate with people naturally. Based on AI and big data technology, this “automotive robot” “will have the ability to continuously learn and evolve by itself.

The company calls its first-ever concept the robocar, which will inspire its upcoming vehicles that would the pioneer a new era of cars that the Baidu-Geely pair likes to call as the “Intelligent Car 3.0 Era” According to Jidu, the previous eras in the history of cars were the “Fuel Car 1.0 Era” and the “Electric Car 2.0 Era”.

Robo-01: Concept car design

The concept car was launched through an online press conference that was held on Baidu’s metaverse-themed app Xirang. The car has no door handles, operated entirely through voice commands.

The car that the pair intend to mass-produce in 2023 would 90% resemble the concept car. This car would be launched as a limited edition and will feature an active deformable structure design. It would also have a “3D borderless one-piece large screen”, “zero-gravity seating”, “AI pixel lights” and “dual max-computing chips”.

The car will come with Level 4 capabilities, ruling out the need for human involvement. Owners of the car would be able to use voice access even in the event of poor internet connection, thanks to the use of Qualcomm’s (QCOM.O) 8295 chips. The robocar concept suggests a great emphasis on AI given that the vehicle’s software abilities are based on a unique trainable neural network.

Jidu CEO Xia Yiping says the concept of car marks a shift of focus in car manufacturing from energy to product attributes. He expressed the company’s ultimate aim of realizing a fully driverless transportation experience.
