Motherland Achieves "Dream Progression"-Hong Kong Youth Li Xinglong and His Robot

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 7 (Reporter Li Hanfang) "No matter the black car and the white car, what can contribute to society are good cars. I hope to continue to solve more pain points!" Li Xinglong said "good car" is his team ——Robot of Real Machine Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.

  "Hand wash, wear masks, exercise more, and ventilate ..." On the Zhiguan Street of Zhongguancun, patrol robots with no-handwash liquid on their heads and walking around shouting are a compelling landscape. The robot named "Little Yellow Horse" with a height of 1 meter can have "big energy": in addition to contactless distribution and cyclic broadcast of epidemic prevention information, the front camera can also detect pedestrians, prompting people who are not wearing masks in public places to pay attention Self-protection and public health safety.

  Li Xinglong is one of the creators of the "Little Yellow Horse". He has just started his business in the Mainland for four years. As early as 2008, when Li Xinglong was studying for a bachelor's degree in computer science at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, he participated in an internship organized by the school in the Mainland and had planted a seed in his heart. A few years later, Li Xinglong finished his master's degree from Imperial College London, England, and chose to develop in Shenzhen. The seeds germinated.

  The rapid development of the mainland's online shopping industry has opened another window for Li Xinglong. "The labor cost of the last mile delivery in the express delivery industry may be several times that of the first thousand kilometers. How to solve this market pain point has become a driving force for my entrepreneurship." He said.

  In 2016, Li Xinglong and Liu Zhiyong, the former head of Alibaba project technology, started a joint venture and started to develop driverless delivery vehicles in Beijing.

  "In the beginning, the two of us nested in an underground incubator to start a business. It took more than half a year. Finally, we made the first robot. Fortunately, we got 3 financings in a year and a half." He recalled.

  In the early days of entrepreneurship, Li Xinglong and his team received policy support from various sources in the Mainland, including the selection of Guancun Young Eagle Talents Program, capital science and technology innovation vouchers, and measures and financial support to support small and micro-tech enterprises in Beijing and Haidian District. "This is a good start for startups," he said.

  Li Xinglong said that on board the fast-growing train in the Mainland, his robot dream has gradually become a reality, and the company's development is booming. Customers include food delivery companies, campuses, enterprise parks, residential quarters, etc., and the business has also expanded overseas.

  "The cost of mobile robot distribution is only one-fourth of human distribution. This technology can empower the industry and improve people's lives." Li Xinglong said that in the special moment of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, small robots were given new ability.

  "After the epidemic occurred, we also wanted to make a contribution. The company began to resume production in late January. The research algorithm added functions such as disinfection, mask detection, and epidemic prevention broadcast for the robot, and free upgrades for the robots that have been sold." Li Xinglong It is said that mobile robots can shoulder more responsibilities and contribute to the fight against epidemics. They also donated two robots to Zhongguancun Zhizao Street.

  According to reports, the real machine intelligence has "little yellow horse" unmanned delivery robot, "blue wing bat" patrol control robot, "blue astoria" cleaning robot 3 mobile robot equipment into the front line of anti-epidemic.

  Li Xinglong said that in the face of the epidemic, he felt the strong cohesion of the motherland more deeply, which gave enterprises the confidence to survive the crisis. Recently, they have not only actively explored the domestic market, they have also increased their overseas inquiries by 20 times, most of them from the Middle East and Europe.

  Many young people in Hong Kong consulted with Li Xinglong about the development in the Mainland. He said his suggestion was to come to the Mainland to experience the development of the country and make their own life choices.

  "I think Hong Kong youths must know where our roots are." Li Xinglong said that understanding the national conditions is not only because the development of the mainland has brought unprecedented business and employment opportunities to Hong Kong and the world, but also because "our roots are here" .

  Although it is currently only a startup, the vision of real machine intelligence is to become a trillion-dollar robot company. Li Xinglong, who had the dream of "combining software and hardware to start a business" at the beginning, said that he did not expect to become an unmanned robot in the industry. The business not only radiates the whole country, but also expands overseas.

  "Dream is progressive, and the vast stage in the mainland of China can achieve continuous pursuit of dreams and make dreams bigger and bigger." Li Xinglong said.
