January 08 2018 - 5:30PM
Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) today unveiled three smart hardware
products, powered by the latest and most advanced version
of its conversational AI system, DuerOS 2.0, at its press
conference “Baidu World @ Las Vegas
2018.” This impressive product lineup
includes the Little
Fish VSI smart speaker,
Sengled smart lamp speaker, and popIn
Aladdin, a voice-enabled dome
light with projector functionality for
the Japanese market.
“As one of Baidu’s key AI
strategies, the DuerOS open platform has rapidly
advanced from DuerOS 1.0 to DuerOS 2.0 since its
launch,” said Kun Jing, General
Manager of Baidu’s Duer Business
Unit. “The innovation capabilities of
the DuerOS platform have been recognized by both
upstream and downstream partners in the industry using voice
intelligence. In the process of developing AI
products and enhancing user experience, DuerOS has become the most
vibrant conversational AI ecosystem in China with its install base
growing at 148 percent month-over-month and monthly active device
growing at 127 percent month-over-month.”
The debut of these three new smart hardware
products follows shortly after
the Bejing launch of Raven series, the
DuerOS-powered smart speaker and home robots, at Baidu
World in November in 2017. The accelerated
launches are a key indicator
of Baidu’s leading position in the
industry, leveraging its
AI capabilities and becoming a gauge of China’s
AI development speed.
Equipped with DuerOS 2.0, the three hardware
products showcased at CES 2018 are supported by
cutting-edge intelligent voice technologies and smooth
human-machine voice interaction, creating a premium product
experience for users. As the “Alexa” of China,
DuerOS products are designed to
operate in various environments.
Powered by DuerOS 2.0,
Little Fish VSI Smart Speaker provides
families with a brand new audiovisual
experience that enables information sharing, video and
entertainment, encyclopedia
search, face recognition, parental control, smart
home services and more via natural
language human-machine interactions.
Feature highlights include support
for multi-party video calls, a large video
library by iQiyi, one of China’s largest streaming sites, high
quality knowledge, the capability to switch TV channels using
voice, Baidu Search and a family cloud photo
album. This sleek product is available
in four different colors with a fabric
surface and 6-MIC array.
Sengled smart lamp speaker, which is powered by
DuerOS, will
bring an enhanced intelligent experience to homes.
As the first voice-enabled smart lamp in China, users can
experience smooth voice interaction and access
vast amounts of content. The
product offers multiple smart lighting modes, such
as a reading light, night light and rainbow light to
meet the needs of users in various scenarios.
The smart lamp speaker provides 16 million
color configurations, can respond to music following
the song’s rhythm, and enhance the overall sleep
and wake-up experience. The smart lamp speaker
can also connect with all the smart home devices in the
DuerOS ecosystem.
One of the key
devices of Baidu’s new product
lineup is popIn Aladdin, a voice
enabled smart dome light, which is jointly launched
with the leading smart projector maker XGIMI and
Baidu’s Japan subsidiary brand popln. The
product can also be used as both
a projector and a speaker, creating
a central home entertainment device for Japanese
homes, which are typically smaller in size and have less
space for multiple devices. Using natural language, users
will be able to conveniently control the light
and also access information and
entertainment content.
Embracing openness and enhancing collaboration with
partners, DuerOS has a core mission: “put
intelligence in everything.” Since the launch
of the DuerOS open platform at the Baidu
Create developer conference in Beijing in July 2017, the
platform has brought together more than 130
partners over six months and created more than
20 hardware product solutions. At least five
DuerOS-enabled products are launched to the mass
market each month.
DuerOS has formed partnerships with well-known
enterprises such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, Haier, Midea, Harman,
Skyworth, TCL etc., expanding the applications of DuerOS’
conversational AI capability in mobile phones, televisions,
speakers and other smart home devices, wearables and
automotive.
