Going up and down hills, turning, crouching, crouching... Under the control of the staff, a black robot dog about the size of a medium-sized dog, dexterously displays a variety of skills. At the same time, it carries multiple cameras and sensors, real-time collection of various kinds of data continuously transmitted to the cloud.
The two-day 2021 China Online Media Forum kicked off in Guangzhou on Nov 24. During the exhibition of new technologies, new applications and new forms of business in the field of Chinese network media held during the forum, the "multi-modal robot dog" developed by Xinhua China Search became the focus of the scene as soon as it appeared, and was constantly pursued by participants and media reporters.
"This product will effectively serve the collection of news information in dangerous situations such as earthquake disasters, and carry out multi-modal fusion reports on sites that are difficult for media reporters to access." Xinhua News Agency China search staff introduced that the "multi-mode robot dog" can carry out remote control, automatic control, video sensors, high-definition VR image sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, toxic and harmful gas sensors, environmental protection field of high-precision particulate sensors, etc., to achieve multi-mode information collection, fusion processing, live reporting and other tasks. At present, the technical team is continuing research and development to enable the "multi-mode robot dog" to master more skills.
"Multi-modal Robot Dog" was developed by the Multi-modal News Information Search and Algorithm Research Center of the State Key Laboratory of Media Fusion Production Technology and System, which was commissioned by Xinhua News Agency China Search. The center conforms to the development trend of "four-in-one" media featuring whole-process, holographic, all-staff and all-effect, and helps to promote the in-depth development of media integration by strengthening the capabilities of advanced technology.
In addition to the "multi-modal robot dog", the center also focuses on information fusion, building laboratory reports such as intelligent noise reduction and 3D modeling. In addition, 5G, AI, cloud computing and blockchain will be applied to the news and information field, striving to build a scientific research and innovation platform for basic theories and key technologies of media convergence.
2021 China Online Media Forum is the highest level, most authoritative and influential annual gathering in China's online media industry, known as "an important window to observe the development trend of China's online media".
