Intelligent robotics is being used in more and more applications, from smart robots delivering meals in restaurants to robotic vacuum cleaners completing their work in hotel lobbies. Apart from providing you with coffee, these sophisticated devices are also transforming production, research, and development. One of the businesses setting the standard in this field is OPPO. The firm enhances the intelligence and efficiency of its research and development processes by using intelligent robotics and in-house AI algorithms.
A sneak peek into OPPO’s usage of intelligent robots to advance R&D in mobile communication, image, XR, smart health, and other areas is provided.
Accelerating product R&D with AI technology and robotics
Intelligent robotic arms are introduced at OPPO for hardware and software performance testing and product development. These robots are better than humans at jobs requiring a high degree of consistency and accuracy because of their unique design. Additionally, they may run continuously for seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, which greatly increases productivity.
OPPO Intelligent Imaging Lab: Developing an objective standard for mobile camera testing
Hundreds of camera tests are conducted on each OPPO smartphone throughout the development stage. OPPO recreated several settings in its Intelligent Imaging Lab located in Dongguan to conduct tests related to photography and videography. The area includes typical user situations such as a bar, restaurant, karaoke room, and retail center. OPPO allows robots to go about the settings and snap pictures on their own in order to perform the testing. As a result, tests that once required days for a proficient engineer to do now just take hours.
OPPO Communication Lab: Keeping you connected in any scenario
Every day, we use our cellphones for a wide range of purposes, including information searching, taking pictures, and playing games. However, their primary purpose is to maintain our connection. This essential communication technology is created and tested in the OPPO Communication Lab.
To create solutions for difficult network conditions, the Communication Lab can replicate various network settings, such as busy roadways and fast trains. Additionally, it can imitate the networks of many worldwide operators, enabling users everywhere to experience the same high degree of communication.
OPPO utilizes a robotic arm that replicates actual smartphone users reading through social media, accessing the web, and doing other things in order to evaluate smartphones in these virtual settings.
OPPO NFC Lab: Ensuring a consistent user experience
Every smartphone in the OPPO NFC Lab is put through tens of thousands of testing cycles to guarantee read and write accuracy on various NFC terminal types. The lab now has an industry-leading automated testing procedure that can operate unattended for 24 hours a day, thanks to OPPO’s installation of intelligent robotic arms.
OPPO XR Lab: Elevating XR experiences to the next level
Robotics is also used in OPPO’s XR lab. Here, the head-mounted gadget is simulated at several angles and locations using a robotic arm. The OPPO team can now calibrate the fisheye camera and VST camera and display them according to the photos that are taken and shown.Â
By ensuring that things in virtual space match what the human eye perceives in the actual world, this technology creates the illusion of seamless extended reality. Calibration for each new generation of XR devices is difficult and time-consuming. But because robotic automation technology increases productivity, OPPO can concentrate on developing even better user experiences.
Making smart life experiences accessible for all
We can live intelligent, futuristic lives as long as technology keeps developing. A new era of rapidly advancing technology, blended reality and virtuality, and intelligently connected everything is what lies ahead. One excellent example is the increasing popularity of smartwatches.
OPPO Health Lab: Making preventive health management an everyday reality
OPPO unveiled the new Watch 4 Pro recently. The smart watch can detect blood vessel elastic using cardiovascular evaluation algorithms created by OPPO, which enables users to recognize the danger of vascular sclerosis early on.Â
The wristwatch also has a unique running form recognition feature that measures parameters like stride length, step frequency, and the bottoming balance of the runner’s left and right feet. By utilizing advancements in algorithms, data science, and sensor technology, OPPO is striving to enable everyday health management for everybody. These cutting-edge health solutions primarily rely on data and analysis from OPPO’s own health lab, which uses a range of sports and monitoring tools to gather and examine a wide range of health data.
OPPO AndesBrain (Binhaiwan Bay) IDC: Powering the age of Internet of Experience
As the market for AI, high-performance computing, and data storage grew, OPPO started building its first large-scale data center, the OPPO AndesBrain (Binhaiwan Bay) IDC, in January 2020.
Hundreds of millions of ColorOS consumers actively utilize OPPO every month throughout the globe. The data center is equipped with enough processing power and bandwidth to handle OPPO’s hardware and software engineering as well as large-scale data processing. According to OPPO’s growing investment in AI, the data center also offers strong processing capacity for executing AI activities and creating AI solutions.
Air-cooling Server Room in OPPO AndesBrain (Binhaiwan Bay) IDC
Another example of the company’s commitment to combining commercial innovations with infrastructure to lower carbon emissions is the OPPO AndesBrain (Binhaiwan Bay) IDC. Rainwater harvesting is used in the data center’s cooling circulation system. Additionally, it has embraced immersion cooling for high-performance GPU server clusters rather than air cooling, which has resulted in a significant improvement in energy efficiency.
OPPO has spent over two decades developing its skills. Going ahead, the business will keep putting its best efforts into creating cutting-edge goods and technology that enable people all around the world to live smarter lives.
