Entrepreneurship chooses drones. If it was 10 years ago, it was a difficult road; if it was 3 years ago, it was a bright road; if it was 1 year ago, it was a road to life and death. Entrepreneurship is related to innovation and is more relevant to timing. The Pegasus robot is on the last road.
In February 2015, the Pegasus robot was established with the direction of being a drone. This is not the best time node for a drone startup, especially in the consumer-oriented UAV field. Dajiang gradually shows the head of the industry giant, and the drone industry has begun to die in the scuffle. Faced with this problem, Pegasus robot co-founder Yang Wanli did not show concern. She said that the choice of drones is not intended to follow suit, but the timing is ripe in all aspects. Everyone wants to understand things. In other words, we just did something we want to understand. Regardless of the outside, we are willing to persist and patiently do this thing we want to understand.
"In February of 15, our angel round of funds was in place. In March, we registered the company. At this time, the whole drone industry was very ruthless, and it was very busy. But why do we still believe that the drone is still optimistic? This technology. Our company is called Pegasus robot. We didn't split the drone and the robot. We think that the drone is a kind of robot, the air robot, then many of them such as motion control such as flight control, attitude Induction, as well as visual technology, we believe that robotics is the most important technology that will affect human life in the next 20 or 30 years. Therefore, no matter how much outside, we are willing to persist and patiently do this."
"Leaving from Lenovo is to create a dream stage."Prior to starting a business, Yang Wanli was a vice president at Lenovo Group, responsible for the research and development of Lenovo mobile phones. At the beginning of 2014, she started her entrepreneurial ideas with Chen Wenhui, who is also the vice president of Lenovo, and Chen Wenhui’s friend. Now the co-founder of Pegasus robot Zhu Xi, the three started to discuss the direction of entrepreneurship, and finally chose the drone, on the one hand, optimistic The future potential of the drone, on the other hand, the co-founder Zhu Xi has nearly 8 years of R&D experience in the field of industrial drones, and has a deep technical reserve.

Yang Wanli said that Lenovo is a very good platform. On the one hand, choosing a startup is optimistic about the drone industry. On the other hand, it hopes to build a dream platform and let young people's talents play their fullest. "We both are VPs in Lenovo. I highly recognize this industry, just like the Silicon Valley in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, everyone was discussing PCs. There wasn't even a definition. It was very unclear. In the end, Silicon Valley gave birth to so many great companies.
The second reason is that we have been on a large platform. We are very grateful. Now we want to create a platform for ourselves to let more young people have the talent to play. â€
In fact, the young people here also include Yang Wanli herself. For her R&D plot, she found a sense of excitement on the drone.
"You will feel that you have finally found a platform. You finally found a thing. It has a lot of uncertainty. Everything on the phone, all the programs are given to you. Where can you play? MMI (Man Machine Interface, ie man-machine interface), GUI aspects and other minor changes and optimizations, many of the underlying things are done, the framework is well laid, the space you can display is too limited. And the drone, in me When I first entered the industry, there was no integrated solution at that time. All the people started with MCU and FPGA. All the algorithms started from the bottom, including the possible operating system or no operating system. Things are built from the ground up, and you feel that the space and freedom of play is very large.
Of course, the risks are also great. Once you have taken a wrong technical route, you will be overwhelmed. For example, this tracking technology has many genres, this GPS, and this visual tracking. At that time, we made it clear that using GPS to do tracking is not a technology that can really reach the user threshold, because the GPS signal drifts, you Using this mark point will be lost every minute, we think that the tracking of computer vision is the direction. It is such a judgment on the direction, you will feel that I have done this for the future, I found the direction, I can do it, this kind of excitement is difficult to replace. â€
In Pegasus, 85% of people are fascinated by technology like her. Now they have formed a relatively formal development system, through the formal IPD (integrated product development) process for research and development, including how to test problems, how to locate, how to solve. “R&D is a very hard job, a smashing thing, but we are happy, I feel challenged at any time, but the challenge also brings happiness.â€
Their challenge comes from a portable small drone called J.ME, which is a product that they spend a year and a half developing and will meet with consumers in November. This product is the result of their technology and also carries their thoughts on consumer drones.
“We have a lot of experience in understanding consumer needsâ€During Lenovo, Yang Wanli successfully promoted the transformation of Lenovo mobile phones from function machines to smart phones, and promoted Lenovo mobile phones from millions to 50 million clubs. Mobile phone is a mass consumer product. Lenovo's experience makes Yang Wanli know more about what consumers want than others.
Portability, high-definition shooting and long battery life, she thinks this is the consumer's most concerned about drones. Therefore, J.ME is a small handheld UAV with high-definition shooting equipment and image quality imaging system, and far superior to the consumption of portable drones, as well as visual tracking and obstacle avoidance. And how far is the flying high, the map is 5 kilometers or 7 kilometers, in her opinion, these are not important for an entertaining drone. "For the first time when ordinary consumers play drones, because they are unskilled or nervous, they are afraid that the drones are out of sight, which will bring them uncertain insecurities, so At the beginning of R&D, J.ME took into account the needs of ordinary consumers."
That's right, they target the user community to the average consumer, the drone white user. For the drone white user, what is the most important thing about a product, Yang Wanli said is the value. Therefore, they also spent a lot of thought on the appearance of the drone. The design of J.ME is inspired by the panda, so the drone looks like a panda. The paddle is designed like a bamboo leaf. I believe it should be loved by many people, especially those who love pandas.
In fact, this year, there have been many small drones on the market, especially the Mavic released in Dajiang not long ago, which made people see the breakthrough of small drones. Yang Wanli said that Dajiang is a company with great geek feelings worthy of respect, but Dajiang gives priority to professional players, while Pegasus gives priority to entry-level ordinary users. Whether it is Dajiang or Pegasus, all that has to be done is to plow the market and concentrate on making products. Only when everyone works together can this market be bigger. In addition, in Yang Wanli's view, the drone will also move from a discrete solution to an integrated solution with the development of technology, and the key to this is the chip.
"From the history of the development of drones, it is basically a discrete chip solution. I think it will gradually move toward integration. Why there were no small drones before, but now, because of the changes brought by the chips, Miniaturization will be more acceptable to the consumer market. I believe that the consumer market will develop further, and I think Mavic is also trying to do this. I believe that everyone will work hard to make the market bigger."
Yang Wanli said that because the demand for drone chips is still relatively low compared to mobile phones, the investment by major chip manufacturers is not strong. In Lenovo, Yang Wanli successfully promoted the cooperation between MediaTek and Lenovo. In the J.ME product, MediaTek also provided strategic support for his "old comrades". MediaTek is dedicated to the upcoming launch of the Pegasus robot. .ME, customized a chip solution.
At present, Pegasus robots have just completed the A round of financing, and next month they are about to release their first consumer-grade drone J.ME. For this drone, they are still very confidential, when the media editors When the circle of friends can be sent, the other party resolutely opposes it. Therefore, if you want to know more about this drone, you can pay attention to their upcoming new product launch. Is this product worthy of our expectation? Finally, let the time tell us the answer!
