Sanbot speech at CITIC SECURITIES Capital Markets Annual Meeting 2018

QIHAN technology is the first enterprise that output 100,000 sets robot in the middle and large-scale service robot industry. Established in 2006, QIHAN began to perform independent research and development in 2009, and started the transformation to intelligent service robot in 2013. Employing over 800 staff and 160 of them were R & D engineers, the company has more than 200 patents and most of them are invention patents. In 2016, QIHAN had revenue of RMB 660 million and a net profit of about 150 million. And QIHAN was awarded one of the top ten service robots brands in China.


QIHAN is running three Sanbot robots now: Sanbot Elf, Sanbot Nano and Sanbot Max. Sanbot Elf is of 90CM height, 19KG net weight and can run 11 hours per charge. The system is ROS developed based on Android. Sanbot Nano is the Amazon Alexa powered service robot specially designed for home use. Cute and functional, the Sanbot Nano is the super companion for family members. Sanbot Max is the 1.45 meters tall, 100KG heavy. This advanced humanoid robot can work for 18 hours and stand by for 50 hours. It is powered with multiple systems, Android, Linux, ROS, TROS and peripherals can access to Sanbot Max thanks to its numerous USB and HDMI interfaces.

QIHAN owns a great number of innovations at voice processing, robot vision, object avoidance, walking technology, four-dimensional positioning navigation and more in artificial intelligence robotics: 1), in voice processing, QIHAN is the first company adopting multi-microphone localization and noise cancellation during hardware implementing motion, as well as beam localization in the whole industry. The company also designed a set of semantics to support the semantic customization in many scenes. 2) In robot visual, QIHAN is the only enterprise handling basic IPS algorithm based on FPGA. 3) In object avoidance, QIHAN adopted 3D in-depth camera to realize the object avoidance initially, then integrated ultrasonic, IR and TOF technologies to assist. 4) QIHAN occupied numerous patents in walking technology. For example, QIHAN makes the robot wheels walk more stable and less noisy by improving the Mecanum wheel and omnidirectional wheel. 5) QIHAN also leads in the industry in four-dimensional positioning navigation technology. Sanbot’s 3D positioning navigation is combined with multiple 3D cameras, instead of rotating laser radar. So Sanbot robot has more accuracy, speed, larger size map and less motion loss. 6) Motor is key to intelligent mobile robot. QIHAN adopts brushless motor and developed micro worm DC brushless motor and Mecanum wheel style outer hub motor, which have powerful torque force, low heat and self-locking function, and can work for 24 hours.

QIHAN build the Sanbot APP market and agent system via its own IoT platform QIHAN Cloud. All the robots’ remote upgrading, data collections are realized via QIHAN Cloud and it targets to three kinds of clients: 1) C-Customers: QIHAN offer PC and mobile Q-Link for interactions; 2) Solution developers and integrators: QIHAN offers the open API platform and SDK files to make clients create the customized APP market. 3) B-Clients/Agents: Clients can manage and monitor the condition of all the robots. Finally, QIHAN build a set of C-Customers, developers and integrators and B-Clients system.

QIHAN’s business model is Sanbot + Various Industries. QIHAN offers hardware, software, mobile APP and Cloud service, and cooperate with developers and integrators to customize a series of solutions. 1) For bank, QIHAN programs financial query to Sanbot robot to make it the professional robot consultant. 2) For education, the intelligent Sanbot is able to monitor the condition of the kids or students, and has good interactions. 3) For commercial chain, the advanced retail service robots have been working in a great number of beauty parlors and shopping malls. 4) For customs. Sanbot Elf has been in use in China’s customs for more than one year, and keeps the further upgrading and Sanbot Max intelligent robot is also been introduced now. 5) For court, courts in Beijing and Shenzhen also introduce Sanbot Max intelligent robot.

“Creation for Intelligent Life”, QIHAN is devoted to improving product quality and creating ground-breaking products for the customer. Using the interconnection of thing to thing, thing to human, and human to human, QIHAN providing products and services where everyone is a winner.
