Chapter 90 Home Robots
Time passed very quickly, and it was a month in a flash.
In the factory, a small Starry Sky One, which exuded golden light, was assembled. Except for the ugly big schoolbag on its back, everything was perfect.
Just looking at the very satisfied look on Liu Xu's face, you can tell that he is in a good mood now.
We selected spare parts from many manufacturing companies, and after analysis and comparison, we ordered this batch of auxiliary materials and chips online.
In addition to the incandescent iron porcelain used for the armor and the main metal frame of this small household Starry Sky One, why are the remaining materials and accessories required to be purchased in the market? In other words, today's sample robot can also be manufactured by a factory in the future.
There are many things Liu Xu has to consider. There are many types of accessories needed to manufacture a starry sky robot. Although his own factory can also make these accessories, it requires too much energy and is not cost-effective.
Moreover, if small starry sky robots are to be marketed, they should not involve too much high technology. In addition to the starry sky control system and semi-artificial intelligence auxiliary systems, the robots also involve some patented core technologies. You don’t have to worry about being eliminated in a few years.
People catch up.
As the first generation of Starry Sky series home robots, these technologies are already eye-catching.
The Starry Sky One control system can be regarded as the first robot control system designed by Liu Xu himself. All the codes are plagiarized and optimized. Although it draws on a lot of Boston Dynamics control systems and the experience of several other robot companies,
But the starry sky control system also has its own characteristics.
The semi-artificial intelligence assistance system draws on existing artificial intelligence technology and injects many emerging algorithms to achieve the current semi-artificial intelligence. It is definitely not like the boastful artificial intelligence technology on the market. There is a complete difference between the two.
It's not a level thing.
The self-designed semi-artificial intelligence assistance system has a certain degree of independent thinking, and the speed of response and the work it can do are also relatively comprehensive. It can completely complete delicate tasks such as delivering express delivery, buying food, doing housework, or taking care of children.
.
After turning on the control switch and waiting for the blue light in the robot's eyes to flash a few times, Liu Xu said to the robot: "Hello, Xiaoxing!"
"Hello, Master! Xiaoxing is glad to serve you."
After two hours of testing, Liu Xu looked at the continuous feedback information and felt better and better. Although he knew that the difference between testing in the virtual space and testing in reality would not be too big, most of the materials he used were
Purchased from outside.
Although these materials are purchased according to the design requirements, if the quality of the materials is not up to standard, it can easily affect the overall performance of the robot.
Sure enough, after two hours of testing, the problems discovered are quite big. First of all, the robot's power consumption time cannot reach the original four hours, and the discharge time data promoted by the manufacturer is completely inconsistent. Big moves have not yet been made.
No matter how many times you do it, the power consumption will be gone in two hours.
This is the biggest problem. If it cannot work continuously for four hours, the robot will have many disadvantages. If there is an accident on the way to pick up the baby, it may run out of power, which will be a big trouble.
If it really happened, would the buyer be required to drive to deal with the aftermath?
Let’s not talk about whether we can move this 150 kilogram big thing. Even if it can be moved, it is not something that one or two people can easily handle.
Another problem is that the control system is a bit slow to react when making strenuous movements. This is a chip problem. The ultra-high algorithm causes the 7nm chip to start to heat up after working continuously for more than ten minutes.
There was also a problem with the drive motor, and it actually crashed twice during the two-hour test. This was completely unacceptable to Liu Xu.
Sensor sensing is also somewhat slow in complex environments. Once the network is turned off, they will choose to stay put. The occurrence of this situation also involves chip issues.
Lidar positioning is not accurate enough, and the position deviates when maneuvering. It is easy to be interfered by two kinds of sounds when communicating, and language recognition is also a problem.
Fortunately, machine vision, face recognition, object recognition, language interaction and somatosensory interaction perform well without interference.
The biggest problem is that the battery input power is not long-lasting, and additional chips need to be added to solve the problem of insufficient computing power.
But if we have to solve these two problems, the cost will be too high.
Battery technology is okay. You can get relevant information from Ba Sha and make a comprehensive understanding of it. Bio-batteries are not difficult to make. You must know that the most powerful thing about Ditu Civilization is their biotechnology.
It's just that the impact of manufacturing new bio-batteries is no less than that of incandescent iron porcelain. When it comes to the big cake of energy applications, those countries and big guys who control energy will never compromise easily.
I won’t say how dark the methods are, but I’m afraid the country may not be able to protect itself in the end!
Just like blazing iron porcelain, just taking out a weakened version has already caused a lot of controversy.
Biobattery technology involves biogenetic technology, which is not easy to crack. Everyone knows that it is a crime to have a weapon, if the energy giant knows that it will not be able to produce alternative energy sources such as biobatteries for several years or even more than ten years
New materials will soon disappear from the stage of history, which no one can tolerate.
There are technical reserves for ordinary lithium-nickel batteries in the database, and they have stronger energy storage than all batteries on the market. They can meet Xiaoxing's full load operation for six hours. However, when taking out such a battery, you will still encounter difficulties.
It's the same trouble. If you don't have a say in the raw materials, it's too easy for others to cause trouble for you.
Now that my abilities are limited, I can easily destroy the balance of the energy system, which is likely to cause a crazy counterattack by those people. After much deliberation, I can only optimize and upgrade the existing battery technology. This matter must be found by Biyadi.
It can only be solved by talking.
The chip problem is also a big trouble. It takes a long time to develop the chip. It only takes one or two years to write the code. The waiting time to make a sample is even longer.
It is also possible to use a bio-intelligent control chip machine to manufacture chips, but the code still needs to be rewritten, otherwise people can sue themselves at any time.
Another way is to cooperate with the country to jointly develop chips. If you do this, you can develop a cost-effective chip suitable for you within half a year.
Nowadays, the government has invested a lot in the chip field, and there are many research and development institutions. Choosing one with a good reputation to cooperate will save you a lot of time. However, this matter may cause some trouble, and you still have to test it out first before making the final decision.
Decide.
Liu Xu also thought about it, just find a suitable semiconductor material as a replacement for existing chips. For example, graphene, a highly conductive material, is very suitable, and it is also the future development direction of existing chips.
EUV lithography machines are very important for chips. With alternative materials and breakthroughs in code design and integrated circuits, how to build them is also a problem. The accumulation of technical experience is too important, and there is too much knowledge involved.
.
It is impossible for Liu Xu to make all these things by himself. If he shows all these technologies to the world, he may really run away.
The cost of a home nanny robot needs to be controlled. Many families are not wealthy and it is too expensive for others to afford.
What Liu Xu wants to create is a robot that most families can buy without pressure. This original intention will never change.
The emergence of nanny robots will solve many family problems and free humans from tedious housework.
Liberating the family workforce is the ultimate mission of home robots.
It also has many benefits for the country. People nowadays are unwilling to have children. The main reason is that a child consumes most of a family's energy. Out of a responsible attitude towards children, many people prefer to have fewer children or not have children at all.
Of course, it is one thing that people nowadays value freedom more. But if a real nanny robot is born, many families will choose to have more than one.
