Recently, OPPO hosted a Tech Insider event, inviting journalists and KOLs behind the scenes for a peek into 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.
OPPO Intelligent Imaging Lab: Developing an objective standard for mobile camera testing
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.
OPPO Communication Lab: Keeping you connected in any scenario
The OPPO Communication Lab is where this fundamental communication technology is both developed and tested. To test smartphones in these simulated envionments, OPPO uses a robotic arm that mimics real smartphone users scrolling social media, browsing the web, and performing other tasks.
OPPO NFC Lab: Ensuring a consistent user experience
In the OPPO NFC Lab, each smartphone undergoes tens of thousands of rounds of tests to ensure read and write accuracy on different types of NFC terminals. OPPO equipped the lab with smart robotic arms, resulting in an industry-leading automated testing process that can run 24 hours a day, unattended.
OPPO XR Lab: Elevating XR experiences to the next level
OPPO’s XR lab also employs robotics. Here, a robotic arm is used to simulate various positions and angles of the head-mounted device. This enables the OPPO team to calibrate the display, fisheye camera, and VST camera according to the images captured and displayed. The use of this technology ensures that objects in virtual space are consistent with what the human eye sees in the real world, creating an entirely seamless extended reality sensation.
OPPO Health Lab: Making preventive health management an everyday reality
Recently, OPPO launched the new Watch 4 Pro for the international market. Using cardiovascular assessment algorithms developed by OPPO, the smart watch can detect blood vessel elasticity, helping users identify the risk of vascular sclerosis in time. In addition, the smartwatch comes with a new running form recognition function, which can detect the runner's left and right foot bottoming balance, step frequency, stride length and other metrics.
OPPO AndesBrain (Binhaiwan Bay) IDC: Powering the age of Internet of Experience
In response to the growing demand for data storage, AI, and high-performance computing, OPPO began constructing its first large-scale data center, OPPO AndesBrain (Binhaiwan Bay) IDC, in January 2020.
The OPPO AndesBrain (Binhaiwan Bay) IDC also exemplifies the company’s dedication to integrating infrastructure and business innovations to reduce carbon emissions. The data center uses a rainwater harvesting system for cooling circulation.
