Chapter 105 Amazing and Shocking
The press conference.
The cooking demonstration session of Xiaoyuan Robot has ended, and the kitchen table has been retracted under the stage.
The spotlight on the stage focused on the other side, and everyone turned their attention there. A safety tester wearing a special buffer suit came to the stage.
Lu An's voice also sounded again: "Safety is the cornerstone of all our dazzling technologies and an essential element for Xiaoyuan robot to integrate into the family."
As his voice fell, the tester took a deep breath, glanced at the Xiaoyuan robot next to him, and then quickly looked away.
Then, his body deliberately pretended to freeze suddenly, as if all support had been taken away by an invisible force, and he fell straight and without any buffer to the hard floor in front of him.
The angle is tricky and the speed is extremely fast.
He was simulating the most dangerous fall for an elderly person, the "straight body forward" fall.
Just when his body's center of gravity was completely out of control and his head was less than half a meter from the ground, the Xiaoyuan robot standing quietly next to him moved.
The audience at the scene has not yet reacted, but the Xiaoyuan robot has reacted quickly. It seems that one moment, it was still standing in place; the next moment, it was moving vigorously, accurately wedged into the gap between the tester's body and the floor.
The arms of the Xiaoyuan robot stretch out like lightning. There is no rigid grip, but a flexible support arc.
The moment the robotic arm touches the tester's body, Xiaoyuan Robot's distributed "electronic skin" covering the whole body senses the strength and direction of the impact and quickly calculates the current optimal buffering strategy.
The tester's heavy body fell on the arms of the Xiaoyuan robot, hovering steadily at a height of only twenty centimeters above the ground.
There was not even a trace of inertial shaking. The tester did not even feel the expected violent impact. There was only a feeling of being held firmly. The Xiaoyuan robot's arms held his body firmly, and his posture was stable.
"Wow! It's so awesome, I didn't even react."
“Have robots advanced to this level?”
“No, where did they come from? This is technology from 2015? Did they come from 2051?”
Someone in the audience exclaimed, but before they finished speaking, more waves of exclamation swept across the audience, and the applause thundered, and the applause was even more shocking than before.
Some people in the back row even stood up excitedly.
Judging from the reaction of the audience, this product of Yuanjie Intelligent Control has conquered them.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were full of surprise and shock.
In fact, at the beginning, everyone looked at the press conference of Yuanjie Intelligent Control with some doubts in their hearts.
Although the previously announced R1 robot is quite amazing, this launch is for robots in the field of housekeeping services, which is a completely different application scenario.
If you want a robot to have housekeeping service capabilities, it must have a high degree of intelligence and automation. The previous R1 robot did not show such amazing technical highlights in this regard.
Because the various actions and reactions of the R1 robot require humans to operate the robot to complete.
In the eyes of outsiders, the "intelligence" of the R1 robot is more like "borrowing" from humans.
If the domestic service robot must be controlled by a person at all times, in the field of domestic service, it will be like taking off your pants and farting.
If humans are still needed to perform the tasks, then consumers will question their souls: Why don’t I just hire a human nanny?
Hence, outsiders have concluded that if Metaverse Intelligent Control is not good at the two modules of intelligence and automation, Xiaoyuan Robot will be useless.
As a result, no one expected that the Xiaoyuan robot could perform so smoothly without human control.
This shows that Yuanjie Intelligent Control has reached a shocking height at the software level, or AI technology.
It is worth mentioning that there are also many well-known big Vs watching this conference through online live broadcast.
Their faces were stunned.
Is it worth it or not? What about the chicken ribs you promised?
How can you be so awesome?
Then, some well-known big Vs seemed to have reasonable doubts, believing that the Xiaoyuan robot displayed by Metaverse Intelligent Control at the press conference was definitely not automated, and must be controlled by a person through the "human-machine collaboration" mode.
In short, he just cannot see the good things in China. If you get better, all the boasts and licks he has made about Ou Mei before will become a joke.
Hence, we must try our best to find an angle to disparage.
…
On the other side, the press conference has come to an end and it is time to announce the price.
On the huge screen on the stage, a huge number appeared, and the audience looked at the screen one after another.
【 788800】
Lu An's voice sounded: "The unified selling price of Xiaoyuan Robot is RMB 788,800."
"Hiss——"
Many viewers at the press conference suddenly took a breath. Seeing this price, most people's faces were full of astonishment.
The whispers from all walks of life merged into a buzzing sound:
"788,800? What a joke!"
"This price is more than a top-end luxury car Expensive, how can mass families afford it? "
"Not to mention mass families, even ordinary middle-class families cannot afford it."
"Is Yuanjie Intelligent Control directly giving up on the mass market?"
"At this price, only those with high net worth can afford it, but the question is, do the rich and wealthy need it?"
"I feel that the sales volume is very worrying. People who need it can't afford it, and those who can afford it don't seem to need it."
Professional skills are something that human housekeepers don’t have. If nothing else, I tested the old man’s "straight body forward" test. I don’t think many people could react, but the Xiaoyuan robot did it. "
"Well, what you said is not unreasonable."
"People who are not short of money do pay more attention to a better quality of life, and they don't care too much about cost-effectiveness, but more about service quality."
"There is no need to guess, we have not said it, it is up to the market to buy it or not."
…
Everyone is obviously shocked by the price of Xiaoyuan Robot, which is RMB 788,800. The screen of the online live broadcast room is filled with comments like "Sorry to bother you" and "Can't afford it".
Many ordinary middle-class people who watched the press conference have become doubly fond of Xiaoyuan Robot.
It can do housework, cook, and take care of the elderly and young children. The Xiaoyuan robot can basically do all the tasks that a domestic nanny can do, and it can also do all the tasks that a domestic nanny cannot.
There are several types of domestic nannies, such as ordinary nannies, nannies, confinement nannies, and housekeeper nannies.
If a family wants all these services, it will have to pay for several people, or if a nanny can do multiple jobs, then the family must be paid a higher salary.
But now such a request only needs a Xiaoyuan robot to handle it.
Moreover, there is no need to worry about children being abused.
In fact, many families want to hire a nanny to take care of the elderly or children at home, but they are worried that their children will be treated roughly or even abused by the nanny when they are not at home. This kind of news has long been common.
But if it is a Xiaoyuan robot, you don’t have to worry about it. The robot will never be angry, tired or dissatisfied.
If you have such a robot at home, you will no longer have to cook and do tedious housework. The ease of life index will be greatly improved, you will have more time to rest or play, and the quality of life will inevitably be greatly improved.
We all know that the price of Xiaoyuan robot will definitely not be cheap, and most consumers will not be able to afford it.
As for many ordinary middle-class people who watched the press conference, their price expectations for the Xiaoyuan robot are less than 300,000.
If the price does not exceed 300,000, they will really consider buying one.
Although this price is not cheap, it is not unaffordable for ordinary middle-class families.
The reason why it is anchored in this price range is because Lu An introduced at the press conference that the normal service life of the Xiaoyuan robot is about 10 years.
This provides a clearer price comparison. If you hire a human nanny, the monthly salary for an ordinary nanny starts at 4,000 yuan.
If you hire a nanny for ten years, the salary for a domestic nanny will be 480,000, and the services will be limited.
But if a Xiaoyuan robot only costs 300,000 yuan and can be used for 10 years, including the electricity bill for 10 years, it will be about 22,000 yuan, and then including the possible maintenance or parts replacement costs during the 10 years, it will be calculated as 150,000 yuan.
The total cost of a Xiaoyuan robot is 472,000 yuan, which is roughly the same as the total remuneration of an ordinary domestic nanny for ten years.
However, a Xiaoyuan robot can almost simultaneously provide buyers with the services of an ordinary nanny, confinement nanny, or nanny.
Comparing this, it is very cost-effective.
And Xiaoyuan Robot also has many professional abilities, including emergency handling capabilities and so on.
These are capabilities that human housekeepers do not have. Another one is that the Xiaoyuan robot can allow users to be on call 24 hours a day, even in the middle of the night.
·Human housekeepers have no obligation to come after get off work, let alone come in the middle of the night, unless you offer a higher salary and they promise to be on call.
So, after calculation by ordinary middle-class families, if the Xiaoyuan robot is sold for about 300,000 yuan, even though it is not cheap, the service purchased for this money is well worth the money.
If the real price is around 300,000 yuan, many ordinary middle-class families will be very excited and have a strong willingness to buy.
Unexpectedly, the price was actually so expensive at 788,800 yuan.
This figure is unbearable for ordinary middle-class families who are more sensitive to prices.
As for the lower-class families, let alone that, they cannot afford even 300,000 yuan, let alone 788,800 yuan.
Because ordinary families cannot afford a housekeeper, even a price of 300,000 yuan is definitely not acceptable, and even 78,000 yuan may have to be considered for a long time.
