From robotic vacuum cleaners doing their job at hotel lobbies to smart robots delivering food in restaurants, the use of intelligent robotics is becoming increasingly prevalent. But, in addition to bringing you coffee, these advanced machines are already revolutionizing manufacturing and even R&D. OPPO is one of the companies leading the charge in this area. The company integrates smart robotics and self-developed AI algorithms to add more intelligence and efficiency to its R&D processes.
OPPO shows a peek on how the company uses intelligent robotics to elevate R&D across mobile communication, imaging, XR, smart health, and more.
Accelerating product R&D with AI technology and robotics
At OPPO, intelligent robotic arms are introduced for product development, as well as hardware and software performance testing. These robots are inherently designed to perform tasks that require extreme precision and consistency better than humans. They can also operate continuously 24 hours a day, seven days a week, significantly increasing the output.
Each OPPO smartphone goes through hundreds of rounds of camera tests during the development phase. In its Intelligent Imaging Lab in Dongguan, OPPO created replicas of different scenes for photography and videography testing. The space features common user scenarios, such as a restaurant, a bar, a karaoke room, and a shopping mall. To conduct the tests, OPPO lets robots roam around the scenes to take photos on their own. This way, tests that would take a skilled engineer days to complete, now only takes hours.
OPPO Communication Lab: Keeping you connected in any scenario
We rely on our smartphones every day for a multitude of tasks, from looking up information to taking photos and playing games. But their basic function is to keep us connected. The OPPO Communication Lab is where this fundamental communication technology is both developed and tested.
The Communication Lab can simulate different network environments such as high-speed trains and crowded places to develop solutions for challenging network conditions. It can also simulate the networks of different international operators so that users around the world can all enjoy the same high level of communication experiences.
