BEIJING Nike Air Force 1 Femme Pas Cher , April 29 (Xinhua) -- AlphaGo may have achieved historic triumphs
over professional players of board game Go, but China's artificial intelligence
(AI) companies are keener to make robots address day-to-day needs.
Room service robots, robot bank tellers, and voice-controlled personal assistants were the hot topics at an AI forum in Beijing on Thursday.
Participants said they were expecting a boom in sales of service robots in the
next five years in China, as the country's AI revolution accelerates.
"2015 was the year when AI finally entered our everyday world," said Zhi Tao, co-founder of Yunji Technology, whose robots have been deployed in hotels in
Beijing, Shanghai and Suzhou to cater to guests' needs.
Zhi said her robots can not only take voice commands from humans, but can increasingly "give orders" to other machines, thanks to better speech
recognition technology.
The most impressive AI breakthroughs last year were in voice recognition, said Liu Qingfeng, board chairman of tech firm iFLYTEK. Devices can now
recognize speech with an accuracy of over 90 percent.
With improved speech recognition, more machines will be able to follow spoken instructions, and "that will make AI devices more 'intelligent' and will allow
more man-machine interaction," said Cid Wang, president of Ninebot Inc.
Meanwhile, consumers are adopting more smart machines as better AI becomes available.
Jiang Hongrui, a technology director at Chinese telecom firm Huawei, cited the popularity of Amazon's Echo, an audio device which can request an Uber ride,
read audio books and manage schedules following the user's voice orders. Jiang
predicted that demand for such virtual personal-assistant products will continue
to rise.
The government has also pledged support for the sector. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said on Wednesday that the Chinese market
for service robots will be worth 30 billion yuan (4.6 billion U.S. dollars) by
2020.
However, iFLYTEK Vice President Hu Yu warned that competition will become extremely fierce with the boom.
"The marketplace will quickly weed out the losers, and only those that have a clear niche and real technology breakthroughs will survive. If your robot cannot
add value to consumer's daily lives, you will die," Hu said.

BUCHAREST, June 21 (Xinhua) -- A no-confidence motion by the Romanian ruling coalition toppled on Wednesday the social-democrat government led by Sorin
Grindeanu, setting a historical precedent in the country that the parliament
majority impeached its own government.
The motion was voted with 241 votes in favor out of the 251 who cast their ballot, exceeding the minimum threshold of 233 stipulated by the Constitution,
according to the official results.
Only the parliamentarians of the ruling coalition and the group of minorities participated in the vote, while all the oppositions decided not to vote.
After the outcome of the ballot was announced, dismissed Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu said that "I hope today's vote in Parliament will not be a big
mistake, as I also hope that Social Democratic Party (PSD) will nominate the
next prime minister."
The prime minister stressed at the same time that the major ruling PSD "should stay united."
PSD leader Liviu Dragnea told a press conference that "things return to normality, legality and constitutionality," after the no-confidence motion in
the parliament. Earlier, when addressing to the Parliament's plenary sitting
before the vote, he accused the prime minister of "clinging to his chair in the
most illegitimate way."
Senate Chairman Calin Popescu-Tariceanu, who is also leader of the junior ruling Alliance of Liberals and Democrats, said that the cabinet is dismissed
and Parliament will immediately inform the president of the situation, so that a
candidate may be nominated for the prime minister office.
Meanwhile, Presidential Spokesperson Madalina Dobrovolschi announced that President Klaus Iohannis would organize on Monday consultations with
parliamentary parties.
Under the Constitution, the head of state shall designate a candidate to the office of prime minister, as a result of his consultation with the party or
coalition that has absolute majority in parliament.
The designated prime minister shall seek the vote of confidence of Parliament upon the program and complete list of the government within 10 days of his
designation.
The two-party ruling coalition decided last week to topple its own cabinet amid a tense relationship between the leadership of major ruling PSD and the
prime minister who refused to resign even after his party withdrew political
support for him and expelled him from the party.
Grindeanu's cabinet entered into office in January after the Social Democrats won more than 45 percent of the votes in the parliamentary elections in December
2016.
