21st Century Business Herald reporter Li Tingju reported in Shenzhen On September 7, Xiaopeng Motors officially released the new member of its ecological enterprise-Shenzhen Pengxing Intelligent Research Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Pengxing Intelligent") developed The third-generation prototype of the first intelligent machine horse "Little White Dragon" (internal code name). As an ecological enterprise of Xiaopeng Automotive, Pengxing Intelligence has introduced automotive systems and thinking to empower the R&D and manufacturing of intelligent robots. The intelligent robot horse unveiled this time has achieved technological breakthroughs over the previous four-legged robots in terms of power modules, motion control, intelligent driving, and intelligent interaction. The vision of transportation and a better life.
The world's first ridable smart robot horse
The reporter learned that this "smart robot horse" product is the first domestic product. Previously, the other four-legged robots in China were mostly puppies. For example, Xiaomi released the first generation of bionic quadruped robot CyberDog (Iron Egg) in August 2020. Tesla demonstrated on AI Day in August this year. The Tesla Bot, which will be released in 2022, is an artificial intelligence humanoid robot. At the same time, "smart robot horse" products have higher requirements than general robot dog products in terms of power modules, motion control, intelligent driving, and intelligent interaction. The intelligent robot horse unveiled this time is based on the "warm technology" design concept, innovatively uses the "small horse" form, and has the ability to ride, strong autonomous movement, and emotional interaction.

The reporter learned from Pengxing Intelligence that this intelligent robotic horse has front legs "front knees and back elbows" and "straight knees" The unique pony form of “walking” is equipped with a high power density ratio powertrain unit independently developed by Pengxing Intelligence, and uses accurate dynamics models combined with AI technology to achieve excellent balance and agility.It can also meet the riding needs of children and become a small assistant for short-distance transportation in life.
This intelligent robot horse incorporates Xiaopeng's full-stack self-developed intelligent driving technology, adopts a vision plus lidar perception system, and has powerful autonomous movement capabilities. At the same time, it has the industry-leading "multi-modal interaction" capability, which combines visual, auditory and tactile interactions. The face is equipped with a curved display screen, and it has rich expressions and body language. It hopes to become "Xiaopengyou's first intelligent transportation tool" .
Future Transport Explorer
The reporter learned that Xiaopeng Motors is the first new energy car company to make robots among the new forces in domestic car manufacturing. Both the foot robot and the Xiaopeng Huitian flying car are products independently developed by Xiaopeng Motors' ecological enterprise under the strategy of "Future Traffic Explorer". The emergence of full-fledged intelligent transportation means that Xiaopeng Motors is moving from a "running" intelligent transportation tool to a more comprehensive intelligent transportation layout such as "running, flying, and walking".

In addition, with the empowerment of Xiaopeng Motors' automotive system technology, its robot R&D and manufacturing may have more advantages. On the one hand, relying on the technological integration in the fields of advanced machine intelligence, high-level intelligent driving, and global voice interaction, it will introduce the automotive engineering manufacturing system in terms of riding ability and experience, robot engineering and manufacturing; on the other hand, Pengxing Intelligence The forward-looking introduction of AI technology in the fields of robot motion control, visual perception decision-making, natural language processing, etc. will create a unique road for the development of intelligent robots.
It is understood that the Pengxing Intelligent Team was established in Shenzhen in 2016. It is one of the earliest domestic teams to invest in the research and development of foot-type robots. It has accumulated a number of core patents in the fields of robot power modules, motion control, intelligent driving, and interactive systems. . In 2020, Pengxing Intelligent will obtain investment from He Xiaopeng and Xiaopeng Motors. It adheres to the principle of "independent financing and ecological development" and becomes an ecological enterprise deployed by Xiaopeng Motors under the strategy of "Future Transportation Explorer".Start rapid development.
In recent years, Xiaopeng Motors has actively deployed ecological enterprises under the strategy of "Future Transport Explorer". Pengxing Intelligence has R&D centers in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing, and the United States, attracting talents in the field of intelligent robots. He Xiaopeng, chairman of Xiaopeng Motors, believes that in the future, in addition to smart computers and smart phones, smart cars and smart robots will bring a new way of life. He said: “When our generation gets old, we can use our own research and development Robots help us achieve a better life at that time, whether it’s cooking and laundry, chatting and companionship, or traveling together..." He said that with this original intention, Pengxing Intelligence will continue to promote the research and development of intelligent robots, and look forward to it. Let more and more people enjoy the more convenient and better life brought by smart robots, and the low-speed traffic assisted smart robots in the last mile are the first step to realize this dream.
