Using commercial back-feeding technology, adhering to the combination of commercialization and cutting-edge scientific exploration is the key to the success of the selection. The company's goal is to build a robotic ecosystem and strive to make robots enter thousands of households.
Debuted in the 2016 CCTV Spring Festival Gala Guangzhou, the excellent technology company (hereinafter referred to as the excellent selection) became famous.
The team spent half a year consuming five and a half million, independently researching and developing the humanoid robot core components servo steering gear. From the Alpha1 robot to the Jimu robot, to the Alpha2 robot that just won the “2017 CES Innovation Awardâ€, the company chose to enter the fast lane and complete the humanoid robot industry chain layout.
Using commercial back-feeding technology, adhering to the combination of commercialization and cutting-edge scientific exploration is the key to the success of the selection. For this reason, the sales of UBS have risen from 2 million in 2014 to 300 million in 2016, and the current valuation is over US$1 billion.
Yu Jian, CEO of the company, revealed that in March 2017, the company will complete the new financing of RMB 2 billion and the preparation for the listing will start in 2018. “Our goal is to build a robotic ecosystem and strive to get robots into every household.â€
5 years of independent research and development to reduce the cost of core components
“In order to make money for R&D, I sold the last house and Ferrari in 2013.†Recalling the entrepreneurship, Zhou Jian bluntly did not understand VC and financing at the time, and a large amount of investment in research and development led to the collapse of funds, almost exhausted.
As early as 2008, Zhou Jian and his friends had a business idea after seeing a robot in Japan. At that time, most of the domestic robot manufacturers still focused on integration, and the core component of the flexible movement of the robot - the servo steering gear relied on imports. At that time, a steering gear cost $100, and each robot had more than twenty steering gears. This meant that a robotic light was a few thousand dollars in the cost of the steering gear, which was difficult to commercialize.
"So we decided to independently develop the steering gear and reduce the cost. It took 5 years from 2008 to 2012, and the research and development cost 50 million yuan." Zhou Jian told reporters that in 2012, the servo steering gear production technology was finally overcome. , drastically reduced production costs, and got a stepping stone into the robot market. In the same year, Ubisoft Technology was formally established.
But that was the year the company was founded, Zhou Jian and his team fell into a funding gap. By 2013, the capital chain gap was even larger. Later, Zhou Jian met one of the founders of BYD, Xia Zuoquan, who became an angel investor in the selection. There are self-developed steering gears to reduce costs, and a large amount of funds to support, excellent development began to enter the fast lane.
“After the product came out, we sold it to the world in a way that the profit is not particularly high. The bigger the sales, the lower the cost.†Zhou Jian said that the servo steering gear accounts for about 60% of the cost in the robot. Research technology has laid the foundation for price competitiveness.
Form a complete humanoid robot industry chain
The excellent must be hailed by the public thanks to the 2016 CCTV Spring Festival Gala Guangzhou venue, 540 Alpha1 robots danced, the best choice for a night of fame.
Zhou Jian said frankly that the Spring Festival Gala has greatly enhanced the popularity of the company, allowing robot products to enter the eyes of ordinary consumers. But he also said that one or two activities can not really drive the sales of a company, and ultimately it must be tested by the market.
With its independent research and development technology and price advantage, Alpha1 robots are quickly recognized in overseas markets. At present, the global sales layout includes 17 agents in the UK, Germany, France, Northern Europe and Russia, and 34 provinces in China, with 4,000 offline sales stores.
While capturing the market, new product development is also advancing. Recently, the Alpha2 robot won the "2017 CES Innovation Award". In addition, the Jimu robot was also launched in July this year. It is a puzzle-based intelligent robot for school-age children.
Now Ubunt Technology successfully commercialized humanoid robots, and launched three robots one after another, forming a relatively complete product line. From research and development to production to sales, Ubunt has also completed a global leading autonomous robot industry chain.
"Service robots will become the next generation of consumer-level human-computer interaction centers." Zhou Jian said that letting robots enter the ordinary people's family is the dream of excellent technology. According to Zhou Jian, the company’s sales this year will be 300 million yuan, and the target sales next year will be 1.5 billion to 2 billion yuan.
For the estimated sales of nearly 2 billion next year, Zhou Jian’s self-confidence may come from cooperating with international giants. Robots working with Amazon are expected to be available in 2017, and global collaboration with Disney is also planned.
Strategic layout artificial intelligence
"Commercial back-feeding technology is a key factor in the success of the company." Zhou Jian said that You must choose a business path that is in line with its own development, and adhere to the combination of commercialization and cutting-edge scientific exploration.
In terms of commercialization, the selection is far more than many other robot companies. When the competitors are still in the lab testing phase, the company has formed a complete robot product line covering C-end consumers and B-end enterprise users.
For any technology-driven technology company, R&D investment is the focus. Zhou Jian said that it was precisely because of the large amount of investment in the previous research and development that the commercial transformation of cutting-edge research results was achieved. Through the data collection after commercialization, the development of cutting-edge academic exploration is “returnedâ€. At present, Ubunt has the world's leading humanoid robot joint drive servo steering gear, gait planning and motion control algorithms and other technologies, nearly 100 patents.
In order to make the level of technology research and development to a higher level, You must choose a team of international experts in the near future to announce the strategic layout of artificial intelligence.
Asking about the biggest challenge at this stage, Zhou Jian said that despite the introduction of a large number of experts from around the world, the team is still the biggest challenge.
Third party review
"Excellent choice to grasp the right to speak in the industry"
At present, Ubisoft has successfully commercialized humanoid robots and formed a relatively complete product line. Under the general trend of “artificial intelligence + serviceâ€, the business logic of UBS is favored by the capital market. The independent research and development of the steering gear is the core advantage and key step of the superior selection of the humanoid robot. You must choose the core technology of the main R&D and grasp the global voice of the industry.
At present, the combination of technology commercialization and cutting-edge scientific exploration is very helpful for accelerating the commercialization process.
