Siasun joins hands with Baidu, targeting this field!

At present, the new generation of AI technology represented by large models is gradually penetrating basic applications, and its deep integration with the robot industry is also giving birth to new development opportunities.

On May 28, SIASUN Robotics and Baidu Smart Cloud held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony, announcing that they will give full play to their respective advantages in technology and products, enhance the functions and experience of health care products, and meet the humane care and guardianship management needs of elderly people at home.

As a national robotics technology engineering research center, SIASUN has extensive experience in R&D and industrialization in the field of robotics. It has created more than 100 industry "firsts" in the history of China's robotics development, and is actively planning intelligent upgrades and exploring the integration and innovation of robotics and artificial intelligence.

As a world-leading artificial intelligence company, Baidu is in the leading position in the field of cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies such as large models. The two parties have joined forces to conduct in-depth exploration, which will surely form a synergy in robot empowerment and the implementation of artificial intelligence technology, bringing new development opportunities to the field of health care robots.

It is understood that the two parties will jointly develop and iteratively upgrade a series of intelligent companion robots based on Baidu's Wenxin big model to achieve friendly interaction between the elderly and robots, and continuously enrich the functions of companion robots in safety monitoring, health management, daily care, etc. by loading a variety of intelligent sensors , so as to provide all-round and humanized care services for the elderly.

In addition, the two parties will jointly leverage the advantages of artificial intelligence and large model technology to upgrade Xinsong's health care product series, improve the usability and intelligence level of the equipment, and improve the community health care data management platform to explore new models and new business formats for smart elderly care.

It is worth mentioning that Baidu's Wenxin Big Model has outstanding performance in cross-modal semantic understanding and generation capabilities, and won "four firsts" in the "2024 China Big Model Capability Evaluation" released by Frost & Sullivan.

Zhang Jin, president of Siasun Robotics, said that artificial intelligence technology represented by large models has become a key force in promoting social progress. This cooperation is timely and is a strong combination of the advantages of both parties. By adding a "smart brain" to the robot, it will reach a new starting point for industrial development and has broad development prospects.

Unleashing the huge potential of smart healthcare

In fact, artificial intelligence-enabled health care robots have long become a development trend in the industry.

According to the "Robot+" Application Action Implementation Plan and other policy deployments, China is vigorously promoting the in-depth application of robots in the fields of medical care, health, and elderly care services. As the aging of the population continues to deepen, the demand for high-quality and efficient medical and health care services is also rising. Health care robots have broad application prospects because they can effectively solve the pain points of insufficient medical resources and shortage of nursing staff.

It is predicted that by 2028, the market size of China's health care intelligent robots and intelligent robot solutions will reach 6.5 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of more than 32%. At the same time, health care robots are still in a relatively early stage, and the technical maturity and market awareness need to be further improved. The cooperation between Siasun and Baidu may become a new turning point.

In 2021, SIASUN established the Medical and Service Robots Division and launched a series of products including exoskeleton robots, elderly care assistance robots, and intelligent rehabilitation robots, and has achieved certain first-mover advantages in the health care field.

In order to make robots truly "intelligent", they cannot do without the support of cutting-edge technologies such as large models.

With the technical support of Baidu Cloud, Xinsong Robotics can upgrade algorithms based on existing functions, further optimize the human-computer interaction experience, and improve the professionalism and targetedness of rehabilitation training.

In this model, robots can not only replace doctors to perform some simple and repetitive operations, but also bring more sense of gain, happiness and security to the elderly, while realizing efficient allocation of medical resources and alleviating the social pressure brought about by aging.

For Siasun, this cooperation is an important step for the company to deepen its transformation into artificial intelligence. It will be conducive to attracting more resources in the fields of large models in the future. It is also the only way for it to enhance its industrial influence and build a complete ecological system. For Baidu, this cooperation will also enable it to delve into the terminal application scenarios of health care robots and accumulate nutrients for the capacity upgrade of large models.

In short, the cooperation between SIASUN and Baidu has taken a solid step towards the practice of "robot + artificial intelligence" in the field of health care. We expect that with the joint efforts of both parties, health care robots and related applications will set off a new wave in this blue ocean.
