中国的割草机器人，正在加速占领欧美国家的草坪。 海关数据显示，2025年第一季度，中国智能割草机出口额同比激增58.92%，达10.1亿美元，北美与欧洲 市场合计贡献高达93.59%的出口份额。同时，根据Grand View Research机构预测，未来5-10年割草机器 人复合增长率保持12%-20%，市场渗透率将从2022年的0.1%提升至17%。 在此期间，中国的割草机器人厂商销量也实现大幅增长。其中，九号旗下的割草机器人2024年出货量突 破14万台；科沃斯在欧美市场的年销量也超过了8万台。MOVA也在近期宣布，旗下割草机产品半年销 量已突破10万台。 图片来源:MOVA官方 不过，相比于其他竞争对手，2024年才成立的MOVA算是一个新入局玩家。而之所以能够在短时间内实 现与头部厂商相当的销量，与MOVA选择的3D激光雷达技术路线直接相关。 "激光雷达，可以让割草机器人真正实现无边界的'开箱即用'。"MOVA割草机业务CTO秦岭对笔者表 示，虽然这项技术成本更高，但也是MOVA实现差异化竞争的关键。 智能割草机的两条路线：激光雷达VS RTK 无边界割草机器人真正的落地商业化，发生在2021年。 ...

上一篇文章我们讲到，互联网时代的竞争是围绕"场景心智"，而 AI 时代的竞争正在转向"角色心智"。 角色作为新的入口，不仅能覆盖多个场景，还能与用户或企业形成长期绑定。 那么问题来了：AI 角色会不会无限分裂？答案是不会。随着用户需求的沉淀和企业结构的固化，AI 角 色反而会快速收敛到几个高频、刚需的核心类别。 ToC：六大陪伴角色 对普通用户而言，生活需求虽然庞杂，但真正高频、刚性的需求其实有限。最终，AI 角色将在消费端 收敛为以下几类： 这些角色几乎覆盖了个人生活的方方面面。用户未来不再需要几十个不同 App，而只会依赖少数几个长 期陪伴的 AI 角色。 AI 助手将成为未来价值最高的超级入口。它不是单一场景的工具，而是承载用户全部生活与工作的统 一接口。这一入口的竞争，表面上会发生在硬件与软件两大阵营：硬件厂商希望通过手机、可穿戴、智 能家居绑定入口；而软件厂商则依托大模型，直接在云端提供无处不在的助手服务。 但最终胜出的，大概率仍会是以 OpenAI 为代表的大模型软件企业。原因有三：第一，入口的核心在于 理解和生成，这依赖算法与数据积累，而非硬件形态；第二，软件更具迭代速度和跨平台能力，能快速 覆 ...
