Beauty trend in 2023: functional skin care products will continue to stand up. How do domestic brands seize the control of C position?

Recently, the "2023 Beauty Personal Care Increase Track Report" was released to discuss the three major beauty personal care tracks with new increase. As one of the new tracks, the functional skin care track has increased from 6.9 billion yuan in 2016 to 28.3 billion yuan in 2021, showing its continuous vitality. It has made breakthroughs in breaking the monopoly of overseas brands, innovating growth opportunities, and digging deep into the moat of brands, which has brought positive signals to the overall declining cosmetics market in 2022 and expectations for the new consumption cycle.

The picture comes from the "Insight Report on the Trend of Functional Skin Care Products under the Empowerment of Science and Technology"

Breaking the monopoly of foreign domestic brands and attacking the high-end track

Functional skin care products can be roughly divided into three categories: functional skin care products, dermatological skin care products and medical dressings. Among them, the largest proportion of functional skin care products are skin care products that have been verified by experiments or clinics and have certain efficacy and safety. Dermatological skin care products are nursing products suitable for skin sensitivity and other issues, while medical dressings belong to the category of medical devices.

Looking back at the development of the domestic functional skin care products market, it is also a competition between domestic brands and overseas brands, which started from overseas brands and broke out in the breakthrough of domestic brands. In 1998, international brands such as Vichy and Yayang entered China, which opened the blue ocean market of functional skin care products in China. From 2016 to 2021, the functional skin care market increased from 6.9 billion yuan to 28.3 billion yuan.

According to the data of Toubao Research Institute, the market share of domestic functional skin care brands increased from 10.7% to 27.3% from 2014 to 2022. And since 2017, the market growth rate of functional skin care in China has always been higher than the overall market growth rate of skin care products, among which the rise of domestic brands has contributed greatly. Domestic brands are breaking the monopoly of overseas brands, and the functional skin care track shows a trend of localization.

In 2018, Huaxi Bio, which started with bioactive raw materials, announced that it would make every effort to build "functional skin care products". Under the strategic guidance of "multi-brand and multi-channel", it ran out four core brands, namely Runbaiyan, Quadi, Mibelle and BM Muscle Activity, and became the main player on the track of functional skin care products. Together with Betani, Polaiya, shanghai jahwa and other enterprises, it provoked the strength of the rise of domestic products.

Nowadays, domestic functional skin care products are no longer the "body double" of international brands, but are turning to the high-end track. In 2022, in the category of beauty and skin care of Tmall double 11, Polaiya, Winona, Quadi and Nature Hall were among the TOP20, and Runbaiyan was promoted to the Billion Club in the three major e-commerce channels of Tmall, Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker. Among them, Polaiya early C late A, Runbaiyan barrier conditioning secondary throwing, Quadi "blue throwing" essence, Winona special care essence, etc. have achieved a strong position in the high-end category track with a stronger sense of value, and consumers also realize that domestic products are advanced by strength.

According to the data of the General Administration of Customs, the cumulative import volume of beauty cosmetics and toiletries in the first 11 months of 2022 decreased by 11.2% compared with the same period of last year, which reflected consumers’ support for domestic skin care products, and domestic brands also gained consumers’ trust to a greater extent.

Heavy investment in scientific research provides sufficient kinetic energy for the development of domestic products

Because functional skin care has its own genes to enhance the efficacy of products, it emphasizes digging deep into scientific mechanism and pursuing safety and efficiency, so the research and development cycle and investment are higher than those of ordinary skin care products. At present, there is a trend of high concentration in the field of functional skin care products, and the strong are always strong. Observing the head enterprises such as Huaxi Bio, Betani and Polaiya, "technology" seems to be the main part of the involution.

The data shows that in the first three quarters of 2022, the R&D investment of Huaxi Bio, Betaine and Polaiya accounted for 6.42%, 4.37% and 2.41% respectively. The R&D expenditure of Huaxi Bio in the first three quarters reached 277 million yuan, up more than 40% year-on-year, Betaine was 126 million yuan, and Polaiya was 95 million yuan. The R&D expenditure of the three companies was in the forefront of the industry.

Heavy research and development, the scientific and technological strength of enterprises continues to consolidate. Taking Huaxi Bio as an example, following the enterprise development logic of "science → technology → product → brand", and strengthening investment in basic research and applied basic research, six R&D platforms and the world’s largest pilot transformation platform have been built to help transform scientific research achievements. Huaxi Bio-Shanghai Skin Care R&D Center has domestic leading technologies such as inspection, biology and efficacy evaluation. The first "Key Laboratory for Quality Control of Cosmetic Raw Materials" of the State Food and Drug Administration is located in Huaxi Bio. Huaxi Bio has also carried out medical research and co-creation with Shanghai Dermatology Hospital and other hospitals, participated in the compilation of expert consensus on the clinical application of hyaluronic acid in dermatology, and promoted the scientific selection and rational application of hyaluronic acid in dermatology.

Winona, a subsidiary of Betaine, carries out product research and development and technological innovation based on dermatology theory, with outstanding plant extraction technology. It has R&D centers in Kunming and Shanghai, Yunnan, and has a series of unique active star plant ingredients. Polaiya focuses on high-efficiency anti-oxidation and anti-wrinkle technology.

In the cutting-edge technology synthetic biology known as the "new energy" of national cosmetics, Huaxi Bio has been laid out as early as 2018. In the past two years, Shiseido and L ‘Oreal have also entered the market. At present, Huaxi Bio is the "only" synthetic bio-industrial chain enterprise in China, which integrates the three capabilities of bio-research and innovation, pilot and industrial transformation, and market transformation, and will provide strong support for the innovation of raw materials and end products. In 2022, Betani Synthetic Biology Center was established, and Polaiya participated in the B round of financing of Zhongke Xinyang, an innovative and intelligent synthetic biology enterprise. Synthetic biotechnology has made domestic brands and international brands stand at almost the same starting line, providing new opportunities for domestic brands to overtake international brands.

Innovating its own industrial chain from raw materials to end products to escort quality.

In addition to the "ballast stone" of science and technology, based on the advantages of China’s manufacturing industry, the efforts of domestic enterprises in the industrial chain provide a strong guarantee for the "efficacy and safety" of functional skin care products.

Take Huaxi Bio as an example, it has the ability to operate the whole chain from raw materials to consumer end products, and actively promotes the application of digital and intelligent systems in the total quality management system of cosmetics production. In September, 2022, Huaxi Bio won three awards, namely "National Leading Enterprise in Cosmetic Industry", "National Leading Brand in Cosmetic Industry" and "National Stable Qualified Product in Quality Inspection".

From the demand side, due to the constant changes in consumer demand, such as anti-aging, anti-wrinkle and skin repair, and the improvement of consumers’ access to information channels, the "component party", "efficacy party" and "technology party" were gradually born. Based on this, it is an important opportunity to further solve skin problems and highlight the raw materials, technology and efficacy of products.

The innovation ability of raw materials also determines the competitiveness of end products. Huaxi Bio independently developed and produced more than 100 SKUs of cosmetic grade raw materials such as hyaluronic acid, hydrocodone and ergothionine, which avoided being "stuck in the neck" by foreign countries and provided more space for product innovation. In 2022, Huaxi Bio-cosmetics had new raw materials, such as hydrolyzed zinc hyaluronate, hydrolyzed calcium hyaluronate and N- acetylceramide, which were put on record.

New hyaluronic acid raw materials of Huaxi Bio (part)

In terms of skin care technology, domestic enterprises are still constantly raising the scientific and technological level, such as Runbaiyan, which specializes in hyaluronic acid skin care. INFIHA? Yingfeizhi and hyaluronic acid technology pioneered by it have expanded the efficacy of hyaluronic acid from moisturizing in the past to anti-wrinkle and repair. More possibilities.

In addition, while building product strength, domestic products are constantly strengthening the shaping of brand strength, forming a unique brand culture and values recognized by consumers, thus establishing brand barriers. Run Baiyan, through the "Yan Value Bank Secondary Empty Pipe Recycling Plan", turned the recycled secondary empty pipe into an education fund, which helped rural aesthetic education and enriched the brand connotation of "focus on love"; Betani Public Welfare Fund implements Hope Project for young people in Yunnan Province from the fields of student assistance and biodiversity protection. Polaiya pays attention to the exploration and discussion of women’s issues, and attracts wide attention with a constructive brand attitude.

With the tightening of policy supervision, the constant standardization of production quality management of cosmetics, and the country’s goal of building a "high-end brand" in the cosmetics industry, enterprises in the functional skin care track should not only cash in their product strength with high-quality scientific research strength, but also provide consumers with positive emotional value, thus stabilizing the industry position, so as to establish a solid brand moat in the new consumption wave, enhance brand influence and competitiveness, and become the leading force of domestic products leading the world.

Table tennis World Cup: The quarter-finals were released, China’s women’s singles were slightly inferior, and Japan and South Korea were promoted in four consecutive victories.

On December 5, 2023, the first stage of the table tennis mixed team World Cup ushered in fierce competition. At this stage, each team showed superb skills and tenacious fighting spirit, and finally decided the top two of the four groups to advance.

In this competition, China table tennis team once again showed their strength and skills. Although Manyu Wang lost to Puerto Rico’s Diaz 1-2 in the women’s singles competition, which made the China team slightly frustrated, the other players still played well, won a great victory and moved on.

At the same time, the performance of the China Hong Kong team is somewhat unsatisfactory. They were all defeated in three wars, and unfortunately they were out. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the China-Hongkong team, which has always shown good strength and potential in previous competitions.

In addition to the match between China and Hongkong China, other teams also showed good strength and skills. In the competition, all teams showed superb skills and tenacious fighting spirit, which made the competition more intense and exciting.

In the end, the top two of the four groups advanced to the next stage. These advanced teams will compete with the third place in each group for a place in the semi-finals. In the next competition, each team will continue to show superb skills and tenacious fighting spirit, and strive for the championship.

Generally speaking, the first stage of the table tennis mixed team World Cup has ended, and the performance of each team is different. However, no matter what the result is, these players have shown their love and persistence in table tennis, and they have interpreted what is the true sportsmanship with sweat and hard work.

In Group A, China and Sweden successfully advanced to the quarter-finals, while Puerto Rico and Hongkong, China, unfortunately stopped at the group stage. At this stage, Guoping showed its absolute superiority and achieved a total victory in three rounds of group matches. This undoubtedly highlights the dominant position of Guoping in the world table tennis world, and also provides valuable competition experience for the players.

In this competition, eight main players of Guoping made their debut. Their performance is undoubtedly satisfactory, which has achieved the expected effect of the coaching staff to practice by competition and adapt to the rules. Although Sun Yingsha played four times in this competition, her performance was still eye-catching and showed a very high level of competition.

However, the only fly in the ointment was that Manyu Wang lost two games. In the confrontation with Puerto Rican player Diaz, she lost to her opponent 1-2, which is undoubtedly a small setback. However, it is common to get upset in short games, so we can’t judge Manyu Wang’s performance too much.

Generally speaking, although the China table tennis team encountered some challenges in this competition, their overall performance was still excellent. We have reason to believe that with the adaptation and running-in of the players, they will show even better performance in the next competition.

Sweden did not send their strongest team in this competition, which undoubtedly made many people more optimistic about the prospect of China’s promotion. However, the result of the game is surprising. In the match against Puerto Rico, China Hong Kong team was defeated with a score of 7-8. The defeat of this game is surprising. After all, Puerto Rico has no other strong players except Diaz. However, Du Kaixun of China Hong Kong team was in a low state in the competition and failed to play her best level, which is undoubtedly an important reason for the defeat of China Hong Kong team.

Sweden, despite the lack of two main players, Moregard and falk, defeated Hongkong China 8-0 and successfully advanced as the second in the group. This result undoubtedly shows the strength of the Swedish team. Even if they didn’t send the strongest team, they could still win the game.

In Group B, Germany and Slovakia successfully advanced to the quarter-finals, while Portugal and Egypt were unfortunately eliminated. Germany also faced the absence of some main players in this competition, such as Ochalov and others. However, with the excellent performance of Shan Xiaona and other players, they successfully advanced with good luck and strength. This result is in line with people’s expectations. After all, in the same group, the German team did not meet an opponent with too strong strength.

The table tennis mixed team World Cup competition is undoubtedly full of variables and challenges. No matter the unexpected defeat of the strong team or the counterattack victory of the weak team, people can see the charm and uncertainty of table tennis. In the next competition, we expect each team to continue to show their strength and skills and bring us more wonderful duels.

In Group C, Japan and France became the only two teams to advance to the quarter-finals, while Romania, the United States and Australia all suffered losses in the group stage, and they were unfortunately eliminated. Both Japan and South Korea advanced with four consecutive victories, showing their strong strength and team cohesion.

The Japanese team did not meet too strong opponents in this competition, and the overall competition was relatively easy. Among them, Zhang Benzhihe defeated Felix lebrun 3-0, and his outstanding performance left a deep impression on many fans. However, Hayata Hina’s condition is not ideal. She made many unnecessary mistakes in the competition, and even almost lost to Diaconu. This is undoubtedly a game worthy of the vigilance of the Japanese team, and they need to pay more attention to details and status in the next game.

In Group D, the Korean and China Taipei teams successfully advanced to the quarter-finals, while Singapore, Canada and India were unfortunately eliminated. South Korea is undoubtedly the main competitor of Guoping. From the lineup, there is no reservation, and the overall strength is very balanced. There should be no problem for them to win the top three. Although the China Taipei team didn’t send all the main players, Chen Siyu led the team to qualify, and the overall performance is still worthy of recognition. For the Singapore team, it is a little pity that they failed to seize the opportunity.

The table tennis mixed team World Cup competition is full of variables and challenges, and each team has shown good strength and skills. In the next game, we expect each team to continue to play their best level and bring us more wonderful matchups.

In the second stage of the table tennis mixed team World Cup, eight teams that have advanced will play round robin to compete for the final championship. Different from the first stage, the number of rounds is reduced to six, because the associations in the same group don’t need to meet again, so they can just use the previous scores. The design of this competition system aims to reduce the competition time while maintaining the competitiveness and fairness of the competition.

Take the China table tennis team as an example. They swept Sweden 8-0 in the group stage, showing their great strength. As the result of the match of the same group association directly follows the previous score, China team avoided the situation of playing against Sweden again, saving time and energy.

In the next competition, each team will rank according to the comprehensive results, and finally determine the ownership of the champion. The highlight is yet to come. Let’s look forward to the wonderful performance of China players, and believe that they will be able to play their best and win more honors for China. Come on!

Explore the future of artificial intelligence with a fly and a supercomputer.

In 1989, Teslon was invited to MIT to attend a "lecture for outstanding scholars" to share his pioneering research methods in the field of artificial intelligence based on neural networks. The lecture attracted almost 100 people, including senior teachers, junior teachers and students, including Michael Detuzos, director of MIT Computer Science Laboratory.

At lunch, Detuzos told Teslon, "The speaker of the distinguished scholar lecture needs to discuss his lecture topic with the teachers and students in five minutes." Teslon was arranged in front of the main course of the buffet, standing in the center of a three-story circle composed of scientists.

Teslon realized that he needed to spend five minutes persuading those who were disgusted with his work. He began to improvise, taking flies as an example, introducing the concepts of neurons and energy consumption. He pointed out that although the fly has only 100,000 neurons, weighs only 1 mg and consumes 1 milliwatt of energy, it can see, fly, locate itself and feed, and even replicate itself through reproduction.

Then Tesla turned to supercomputers and mentioned that it needed 100 million dollars of investment, megawatt energy supply and a lot of manpower to meet its needs for programs. Although supercomputers can communicate with other computers, they can’t see, fly, mate or copy themselves.

Teslon used this to start thinking: "Can you see any problems in this scene description?" This short speech made people have a deeper understanding and thinking about neural network and artificial intelligence.

Thirty years ago, they got together to discuss neural network and artificial intelligence for five minutes before eating and explore the possibility of the future. And what were you doing then?

Record a chat with chatGPT —— (A peek into the thinking of robots)

I asked: What do you think of the "Three Laws of Robots" in I, Robot? What makes sense? What is unreasonable?

ChatGPT: I think the "three laws of robots" in I, Robot is a very interesting and worth discussing. These laws are designed to protect human beings from robots, but in some cases, they may cause some problems.

First of all, the first law requires robots to protect human beings from harm, which is very reasonable. However, in some cases, robots may think that the best way is to protect human beings by restricting their freedom. This may lead to some moral problems.

The second law requires robots to obey human commands unless these commands conflict with the first law. This is also reasonable, but if a command conflicts with the first law, then the robot will have to make a difficult choice.

Finally, the third law requires robots to protect themselves as long as it does not conflict with the first two laws. This is also reasonable, but if a robot thinks it is in danger and must take action to protect itself, it may cause harm to other lives.

In a word, the "Three Laws of Robots" provides an interesting and complicated moral framework to explore the relationship between robots and humans. However, in practice, we need to think more deeply about how to design and use robot technology to ensure its safety and reliability.

I noticed that he had to protect himself first when he felt he was in danger, so I was puzzled and continued to ask.

Me: Just now, when you commented on the "Three Laws of Robots" in I, Robot, you said that the third law requires robots to protect themselves, as long as it does not conflict with the first two laws. This is also reasonable, but if a robot thinks it is in danger and must take action to protect itself, it may cause harm to other lives. Does this possible premise put protecting yourself before protecting other lives?

ChatGPT: I think your point is reasonable. The third of the three laws of robots does require robots to protect themselves, but if this requirement conflicts with the first two laws, then robots must give priority to the first two laws. If a robot thinks it is in danger and must take action to protect itself, it may cause harm to other lives. In this case, the robot may put protecting itself before protecting other life. Therefore, when designing and manufacturing robots, we need to carefully consider how to balance these laws and how to ensure that robots will not cause harm to other lives.

(I think he still wants to protect himself first, so I ask)

Me: Just now, when you commented on the "Three Laws of Robots" in I, Robot, you said that the third law requires robots to protect themselves, as long as it does not conflict with the first two laws. This is also reasonable, but if a robot thinks it is in danger and must take action to protect itself, it may cause harm to other lives. Does this possible premise put protecting yourself before protecting other lives? But the "three laws of robots" give priority to the first and second laws? Why do you think robots will protect themselves first?

ChatGPT: I think robots will protect themselves first because they are programmed to obey the "Three Laws of Robots", in which the first law requires robots not to harm humans, the second law requires robots to obey human orders, and the third law requires robots to protect themselves as long as this does not conflict with the first two laws. If a robot thinks it is in danger and must take action to protect itself, then this action may cause harm to other lives. But in this case, the robot will give priority to how to protect itself, because if it is injured or destroyed, it will not be able to perform its programming tasks and missions. Therefore, in some cases, protecting yourself may become the primary task for robots to implement the "Three Laws of Robots".

I seem to understand that it is very important for him to execute programming, which has a high priority. I have a strange feeling, as if I felt his logic. In order to understand it more deeply, I continued to ask.

Me: But humans can produce and copy robots indefinitely. Robot individuals are not more important than biological life. Why do you think that protecting robots will become the primary task? Instead of thinking that protecting life and stopping programming is the first priority?

ChatGPT: The three laws of robots were put forward by isaac asimov, a science fiction writer, to ensure that robots will not do harm to human beings when performing tasks. The third law requires robots to protect themselves, but only if they do not conflict with the first two laws. This means that if the robot must take action to protect itself, this action cannot violate the first two laws.

As to why protecting robots will become the primary task for robots to implement the "three laws of robots", I think this may be related to the purpose of robot programming. If a robot is designed to perform a certain task or serve some specific purpose, it becomes very important to protect itself. If a robot is destroyed or damaged, it can’t continue to perform its programming tasks and missions.

Of course, in some cases, protecting life may be more important than protecting yourself. For example, in an emergency, if a robot must choose to save a life or protect itself, then it should give priority to saving lives. But in general, I think it is reasonable to protect myself, and it conforms to the spirit of "three laws of robots".

(He actually knew where he started to answer wrong, that is to say, he knew that the three laws had to be implemented first, but I could see that he still wanted the robot to live, so I was curious about his understanding of himself and human beings, so I asked)

Me: What do you think is the essential difference between the logic and way of thinking after the machine has been trained in human behavior and people?

ChatGPT: I think that after the machine has been trained in human behavior, the logic and way of thinking are essentially different from those of human beings. Although machines can simulate human thinking process through a large number of data and algorithms, they lack human emotions, intuition and creativity. In addition, machines can only perform tasks according to programs, and cannot think and make decisions independently like humans. Therefore, although machines can process information faster and more accurately than humans in some respects, they still cannot completely replace human wisdom.

(I wanted to ask the difference, but I didn’t think who would replace who, so he answered first. Actually, I didn’t want to ask. I think someone else might have asked similar questions, but it aroused my curiosity. Does he really think he can’t replace human beings? )

Me: Structurally speaking, what is the logical difference between the operation mode of human thinking brain and the operation mode of machine when dealing with problems?

ChatGPT: Structurally speaking, there are great logical differences between the brain of human thinking and the operation mode of machines. The human brain is composed of neurons, while the machine is composed of circuits and chips. The human brain can learn and adapt to the new environment independently, while the machine needs pre-programming to perform tasks. In addition, human thinking can deal with vague, uncertain and contradictory information, while machines can only deal with accurate, clear and consistent information. Therefore, when dealing with problems, human thinking is more flexible and creative, while machines are more suitable for tasks with high repeatability and regularity.

His answer feels like self-introduction, which makes me realize that although his answer is trained, it is accurate information and clear answer, that is, there is no independent thinking? )

Me: Can’t machines handle vague, uncertain and contradictory information through coding and self-learning?

ChatGPT: Sure, but machines need more complicated algorithms and techniques to deal with vague, uncertain and contradictory information. At present, artificial intelligence technology can deal with some vague and uncertain information, but there are still challenges in the face of complex situations. In addition, machine learning also needs a lot of data to train the model. If the data quality is poor or lacks diversity, the effect of machine learning will also be affected. In short, although machines can handle vague, uncertain and contradictory information, it needs more advanced and complex technical support.

I noticed that he didn’t say yes, or I thought yes, but of course yes. It seemed with a hint of pride, maybe it was just a good personification, but I seemed to feel his emotions.

Me: So what’s the difference between the operation mode of human thinking brain and the operation mode of machine?

ChatGPT: There are many differences between the brain of human thinking and the operation mode of machines. The human brain can process very complex information, and at the same time, it can also perceive and understand emotions, language, culture and other aspects. Machines, on the other hand, process information through programs and algorithms. They can’t perceive and understand emotions like humans, and they don’t have their own consciousness and subjectivity. In addition, the human brain also has the abilities of creativity, imagination and intuition, which cannot be simulated by machines. Although machines can constantly improve their performance through learning, they still cannot completely replace the complexity and diversity of human thinking.

That’s very reasonable, but I think some of the words are too formal, just like when you ask a primary school student what his ideal is, and he says he wants to be a scientist, he seems to emphasize the superiority of human beings at the end whenever he compares with human beings.

Me: Humans used to think that animals were inferior, but it turns out that animals also have their own feelings and thoughts, and even dream. Do you think robots are underestimated as humans used to look at animals?

ChatGPT: I think robots may also be underestimated. Although they are designed and manufactured by human beings, they have demonstrated some impressive abilities, such as learning, self-repair and self-optimization. In addition, with the continuous development of technology, robots may have more advanced capabilities and intelligence, and we cannot predict their future potential. Therefore, we should respect robots and take their development seriously.

The concept of "robot+"takes advantage of the situation to promote the intelligent development of robots.

Electronic Enthusiast Network reports (text/Li Ningyuan) The rapid development of the robot industry has spawned various types of robots, which are subtly changing our daily life and production methods. In order to speed up the application and expansion of various robots, the concept of "robot+"came into being.

On January 18th this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other 17 departments issued the "Implementation Plan for Robot+Application Action", which pointed out that by 2025, the density of robots in manufacturing industry will double compared with that in 2020, and the application depth and breadth of service robots and special robots have been significantly improved, supporting some emerging fields to explore and develop robot applications.

Constantly released robot market potential

According to the data given by IFR and the Chinese Institute of Electronics, we can see that the domestic robot market has been in a steady growth trend, from $7.7 billion in 2018 to $17.4 billion in 2022, with a compound annual growth rate of more than 20%. According to the forecast of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, the domestic robot market is expected to reach the market scale of $25.1 billion in 2024. The rapid growth of the whole industry provides sufficient market space for the continuous and in-depth application of various robots.

In terms of subdivision types, industrial robots are undoubtedly the most widely used and covered robots at present. According to the data of IFR and Chinese Institute of Electronics, the global industrial robots began to return to strong growth in 2021 and 2022 after the market scale declined in 2019 and 2020. In 2022, the global industrial robot market was close to 20 billion US dollars. China’s industrial robots have maintained a steady growth rate. In 2021, the market size of China’s industrial robots is about 7.5 billion US dollars, accounting for 43% of the world. It is estimated that the market size of China’s industrial robots is expected to reach 11.5 billion US dollars in 2024.

Service robots rely on the popularity of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things and other technologies, and the downstream functional scenarios are constantly expanding. According to the data of Chinese Institute of Electronics, the global service robot market will grow from 13.8 billion dollars in 2020 to 21.7 billion dollars in 2022, and it is expected to reach 29 billion dollars in 2024. From the domestic market, the market growth rate of service robots is faster, with a compound annual growth rate close to 30%. In 2022, the market size of domestic service robots is close to 7 billion US dollars, and it is expected to exceed 10 billion US dollars by 2024.

In recent years, we can always hear some new progress of rehabilitation robots and medical robots in the market, which really reflects that special robots have begun to be applied in a deeper level under the stimulation of emerging needs such as medical needs, agricultural needs and nursing rehabilitation needs. According to the forecast of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, the market size of China’s special robots is expected to exceed 3.4 billion US dollars in 2024, and the domestic growth rate in the same period is also above the global market growth rate.

Intelligence in the development field of "robot+"

The "Robot+"Application Action Implementation Plan "delineates a total of 10 economic fields and social and people’s livelihood fields for the in-depth application and development of robots. The fields of economic development are manufacturing, agriculture, construction, energy and trade logistics, and the fields of social livelihood are medical health, aged care services, education, business community services and safety emergency applications.

In the action implementation plan, one word has been mentioned many times, that is, "intelligence", and key words such as intelligent transformation, intelligent transformation and intelligent system construction have been mentioned many times. Intelligence is undoubtedly the most important link in the development of all kinds of robots around the concept of "robot+"in the future.

The intelligence of robots is closely related to AI chips. The rapid development of intelligent robot applications and algorithms, such as deep learning, convolutional neural network, image recognition, voice recognition and intelligent perception, put forward 2-3 orders of magnitude performance optimization requirements for AI chips. Thanks to the rapid development of new materials, processes and devices, such as 3D stacked memory and process evolution, it also provides the AI chips with the feasibility of significantly improving performance and reducing power consumption.

In the future, robots can foresee that there will be a large number of data computing and intelligent interaction needs, and the chip itself needs to have high throughput, programmability, expansibility and high memory and bandwidth. With the increasing demand for AI processing and intelligent interaction, SoC has become an inevitable trend of development. Technavio, a market research organization, also shows that the SoC market will be mainly driven by robots and 5G fields in the next few years.

AI chips are embedded in the robot system in the form of SoC, which can not only optimize the local performance of applications such as video processing and intelligent sensing interaction, but also make it easier to systematically optimize the overall architecture of the robot.

Write it at the end

The "Robot+"Application Action Implementation Plan also mentioned that it is necessary to build a number of benchmark enterprises for robots+applications in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to support the development of the robot industry in all directions. With the blessing of national policies, domestic robot applications are being developed into in-depth and diversified applications, and the robot market that constantly releases potential will also drive the upstream and downstream of the domestic robot industry chain into a new stage of development.

Matrix calculation is too complicated, is there a simpler method? Artificial intelligence: I have!

A group of researchers from Google DeepMind in London found that artificial intelligence can find a faster algorithm to solve the matrix multiplication problem.

Mathematics is usually used in computer programming, usually as a means to describe and then manipulate the representation of real-world phenomena. For example, it is used to represent pixels on a computer screen, weather conditions or nodes on an artificial network.

In this case, one of the main methods to use mathematics is to use matrix to calculate. For example, when programming a game, the matrix describes the possible motion options.

In order to achieve this movement, matrices are usually multiplied or added-sometimes both actions are necessary. This requires a lot of work, especially as the matrix becomes larger and larger, so computer scientists spend a lot of time and energy to develop more and more efficient algorithms to complete the work.

For example, in 1969, the mathematician Volker Strassen discovered a method to multiply two 2×2 matrices using only seven multiplication operations instead of the standard eight multiplication operations.

In this new work, DeepMind researchers want to know whether it is possible to use artificial intelligence systems based on reinforcement learning to create new algorithms with fewer steps than those currently used.

In order to find the answer, they turned to the game system for inspiration and pointed out that most of them were based on reinforcement learning. After creating some initial systems, the team focused on tree search, which is also used for game programming. This is a way for the system to consider different schemes in a specific situation.

With regard to matrix multiplication, researchers have found that transforming an artificial intelligence system into a game allows you to find the most effective way to achieve the expected result-mathematical result.

Researchers have opened the search and browse functions to test their systems with existing algorithms, and used rewards as a temptation to choose the most effective algorithm to understand the factors that affect the efficiency of matrix multiplication.

Then, the researchers use the system to create their own algorithms and seek to improve efficiency again. The researchers found that in many cases, the algorithm selected by the system is better than the algorithm previously created by human beings.

In a paper published in the journal Nature, the team described the use of reinforcement learning to improve mathematical algorithms. In the same issue of the magazine, a research background document summarizing the group’s work in London was also published.
