On April 13, Baidu announced the acquisition of wholly-owned American technology company xPerception. This is a technology company specializing in hardware and software solutions for machine vision. It provides machine vision hardware and software products with a stereoscopic camera as the core for customers in industries such as robotics, AR/VR, and intelligent blind guidance. The acquisition was seen as an important step for Baidu to further strengthen its hardware and software capabilities in the field of visual perception, enabling core businesses such as AR and autonomous driving, and accelerating the production of artificial intelligence technology.
xPerception Machine Vision Hardware and Software Solutions
xPerception is located in Silicon Valley. Co-founders Dr. Bao Yingze and Dr. Chen Mingyu were former core engineers of AR company Magic Leap. The company also has a number of technical talents in the field of visual perception between China and the United States. What xPerception does is like creating a pair of eyes for the robot and giving them the ability to perceive. The IntelliSense module they developed integrates sensing, positioning, obstacle avoidance, and navigation technologies to provide integrated software and hardware solutions for third-party mobile phones, VR devices, and robots, including positioning, identification, and 3D reconstruction. xPerception also claims that its solution is the lowest-cost solution on the market. Taking sweeping robots as an example, laser-based navigation modules cost around a thousand dollars, while xPerception can use half the price of laser radar to achieve better results.
Artificial Intelligence Technology
Accurate and stable spatial localization and mapping (SLAM for short) is the basic technology in the field of artificial intelligence vision. Its AR/VR, mobile 3D applications, indoor maps, robots, drones, automatic driving, etc. The scene plays a central role. Based on this core technology advantage, xPerception has developed stereoscopic inertial camera products that can be used on x86/x64, ARM or mobile platforms. The product features 6-DOF attitude tracking, low-delay sensor fusion, stereoscopic obstacle detection, and object recognition. It is equivalent to installing “eyes†for various smart hardware and mobile devices. The product can realize the positioning of the intelligent hardware in a strange environment, the calculation of the three-dimensional structure of the space, and the path planning. Its software and hardware solutions currently have multiple projects in China and the United States. Contracted service customers include several listed companies and benchmarking companies in the VR industry.
Artificial Intelligence Technology
As a technology-driven company, Baidu's layout in the field of artificial intelligence has always been in the world's top echelon, relying on core businesses such as research institutes and search, incubating and establishing core capabilities and business matrix covering all areas of artificial intelligence; and continuing Through numerous research institutes in Silicon Valley and Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen in China, we have spared no effort to recruit talents in the field of artificial intelligence. The acquisition of core technologies and talents for machine vision technology companies shows that the layout of Baidu's artificial intelligence field is becoming more flexible and diverse. Silicon Valley companies with leading technologies and top talents have also become important to complement Baidu's AI business matrix and technology ecology. element.
