The offline flash store created by Cheetah Mobile and Delong is full of people at Shanghai Xintiandi Shopping Mall from December 19 to 23. Cheetah Mobile's Leopard Coffee, which is based on Orion's robotic arm platform, is on the ground floor of a shopping mall offering coffee drinks made by robotic arms to hipsters who come to visit the store.

This is the first time that unmanned coffee kiosk "Leopard Coffee" has entered the business circle to serve consumers through a joint brand, and it is also the first time for Cheetah Mobile and Delong to hold hands. In the future, the two sides will start further in-depth cooperation in new retail and other areas.

"Leopard Coffee" appears in Shanghai Xintiandi Delong flash store to create a new traffic entrance.

At the scene of the flash store, people lined up in front of "Leopard Coffee", and a number of online celebrities also took pictures one after another.

As long as the user chooses the category of coffee, in the case of no one to intervene, the two robotic arms with tacit understanding will complete a series of actions from grinding, brewing, foaming and even flower drawing, and a cup of coffee will be handed into everyone's hands in less than two minutes.

Due to the reproduction of the techniques of the coffee master, "Leopard Coffee" is indistinguishable from the coffee made by the gold master of WBC.

Not only is it "quite skilled", but the robotic arm is more stable in making coffee. Temperature, balance and flavor are the three criteria for judging the taste of coffee. Among them, the flavor is determined by the quality of the coffee, while the temperature and balance are determined by the barista. If a barista makes more than 30 cups of coffee a day, the movement will be deformed due to fatigue, and the taste of the coffee will become unstable; however, "Leopard Coffee" is different, and if you don't consider changing the material, it can do it all the time. always maintain a steady movement to ensure that the quality is not out of shape.

The reason why Cheetah's robotic arm is more flexible and accurate than the industrial arm is that a camera is installed in the front of the robotic arm, making it more able to "see" and "understand" the surrounding environment. At present, the accuracy of the robotic arm in grasping specific objects has reached 99.7%. Coupled with the visual algorithm based on deep learning, it can more accurately judge the real-time status of coffee machine, coffee liquid level and material stock.

The combination of Cheetah Mobile and Delong is an innovative breakthrough for both sides in the new retail scene. Delon De'Longhi is an electrical appliance manufacturer headquartered in the northern Italian city of Treviso, always insisting on high performance and unique details, becoming the benchmark for product design and production. In 1902, Delong began to grow up from a handicraft workshop. In the 1950s, Delong Group was officially established. Today, Delong's products are involved in many fields, including the world's leading fully automatic coffee machine, pump coffee machine, kitchen appliances, environmental appliances and so on. As a leading brand in the coffee machine industry, Delong has an impressive market share in more than 180 countries around the world and is widely praised by consumers.

Previously, at the "2018 Gold reward International Innovation Festival", Zong Yanping, managing director of Delong Coffee Greater China, said that the coffee industry has changed greatly over the past period of time due to the entry of new players and capital promotion. Coffee beans are the second largest international trade after oil. Coffee is growing in China's beverage market and is expected to reach a trillion yuan market by 2025. What does not match the speed of market development is the training of coffee masters. According to incomplete statistics, there is a shortage of 60-70,000 coffee masters. "Leopard Coffee comes just in time, and people and machines can share the opportunities of the times."

Committed to AI enabling, Cheetah to create the industry's only full-chain AI technology

Founded in November 2010, Cheetah Mobile is a combination of Kingsoft Security and Ke Niu Images. Cheetah Mobile landed on the New York Stock Exchange in May 2014 and was officially listed. As the leader of Chinese Internet companies, Cheetah Mobile has continuously achieved innovative leapfrogging in the industry in the era of PC, mobile Internet and artificial intelligence. In the AI+ era, Cheetah Mobile combines technology with products, software and hardware to create a really useful robot and bring "real value" to users.

Unlike companies in the industry that focus on single areas such as computer vision and intelligent voice technology, Cheetah Mobile All-in AI in 2016, and its invested artificial intelligence company Orion Star built a fully self-developed Orion robot platform Orion OS after two years of technical polishing. It integrates multi-chip system (brain), camera + visual algorithm (eye), microphone array (ear), Orion speech synthesis technology (mouth), indoor navigation platform (leg) and seven-axis manipulator (hand), mastering the industry's only full-chain AI technology.

Combined with the product genes of Cheetah mobile human-computer interaction and Orion Star's full-chain AI technology, Cheetah launched a full range of robot products, including reception service robot Leopard Secret, retail robot Leopard Hawker, AI trend Leopard Cub translation stick, tutoring robot Leopard Dragon, Leopard Cub AI speakers and so on.

Fu Sheng, chairman and CEO of Cheetah Mobile, said that in the era of artificial intelligence, Cheetah Mobile is committed to building "really useful and really open" service robots and working with partners to bring robot products into public life.
