The preparations for robot testing have been carried out to the final stage. Everyone in the team is very serious. What they do is to ensure that there are no problems during the test.

The test process has been set a long time ago, and it was discussed by Qian Zhijin and Xu Chao. They have more experience and know how to attract attention.

Zhao Yi was rarely in the laboratory for a whole day, and he would come to him to ask for advice on all kinds of small questions encountered by the robot in the middle.

In the afternoon, the robot conducted two consecutive "test rehearsals" and did not encounter any problems in the middle, but Qian Zhijin still asked him to discuss the emergency solutions for problems.

The solution is mainly aimed at hardware problems. We simply prepare several spare parts and replace them quickly if there is a problem.

Zhao Yi was busy until one o'clock in the evening, and saw that the time had not left, but found a small room and slept until the next morning.

Six o'clock.

The laboratory became lively again. I didn’t know that it was a member of the team, and even Liu Guangzuo came.

Liu Guangzuo also knows the benefits of gaining fame. He attaches great importance to robot cooperation projects, and he also knows the benefits of gaining fame in the laboratory.

The robot test was set at a shopping mall 500 meters away from Yanhua University, and a supermarket on the first floor of the underground, and it was around 3 pm.

This time schedule takes into account the time to watch the tester, and the second is to consider the abortion.

There are relatively fewer abortions at 3 pm.

If you are in the period when there are the most crowds of people and there are a large number of shopping in the supermarket, the robot test may not be able to continue.

At 1:30 noon, Xu Chao led his team to the supermarket on the first floor of the underground. They found an empty corner, placed the robot, and hung up a poster for detailed introduction.

The poster contains pictures of the robot, which explains in detail what functions the robot has. The following is written in large characters, "Yanhua University, Intelligence and Automation Laboratory, and the name "Zhao Yi" at the bottom is indispensable.

A large group of people were watching the poster.

At this time, there were also some shopping crowds in the supermarket, and they also came to see it, but because the test did not start, the robot's tumbler-shaped appearance was indeed difficult to attract ordinary people, and most of them were no longer interested after taking a look.

So most of the people who look at the parameters carefully around the poster are interested technicians, corporate representatives, etc.

Among them are media reporters.

Yanhua University still has some energy, and the intelligence and automation laboratory is also a provincial focus. In addition, Zhao Yi's better reputation has attracted many reporters.

Most reporters come here just to interview and shoot. What new technologies are there? Technology to test. It sounds amazing, but it is actually difficult to attract people because ordinary people are not interested, and new technologies may become popular in a short period of time.

After the reporters arrived, they noticed the content on the poster and couldn't move their eyes.

They are not interested in technologies such as dynamic image recognition, mechanical graphics micromanipulation, but it clearly states that the first test of a robot is... to do gymnastics with people?

What is the operation?

Zhao Yi, Qian Zhijin and Liu Guangzuo came a little late. They arrived at 2:30. After coming here, they immediately attracted attention and were surrounded by reporters.

At this time the gap emerged.

Although Liu Guangzuo is very famous in the academic world, the reporter just tends to interview Qian Zhijin because the number of times Qian Zhijin appears in front of the camera is much higher than that Liu Guangzuo who quietly hides behind the scenes.

The difference between the two is too big compared to Zhao Yi.

Liu Guangzuo and Qian Zhijin were only three, four reporters, more than a dozen other reporters, and several cameras were aimed at Zhao Yi.

This made Liu Guangzuo and Qian Zhijin feel a little sad.

In fact, Zhao Yi didn't want to attract attention. When he first came to media news, he found it very interesting. After spending more times, he found that it was useless. If he was low-key in life, he would be more comfortable.

Of course.

Now it is a robot test of great significance, so it is definitely an interview. Zhao Yi introduced the functions of the robot in detail in the face of the camera and also talked about many professional things, with the purpose of providing technical information to "potential customers".

Liu Guangzuo and Qian Zhijin are researchers in the laboratory. Instead, they said it very general and did not talk about technology in detail. What they introduced more about the relationship between robotics and laboratories.

For example, Qian Zhijin.

Qian Zhijin said in an interview and summed up only one sentence, "This robot represents the cutting-edge technology of the intelligence and automation laboratory!"

This sentence can be understood as "the laboratory technology is placed on robots", or "the robot technology is included in laboratories", and "the laboratory plays a great role in robot research and development", etc.

Most people won’t think about the “technology in robots is mostly not available in laboratories”.

Qian Zhijin tied the robot technology with the laboratory together, which showed how high-end the laboratory technology was.

After several people were interviewed, the time was almost over.

Xu Chao placed the robot on the open space on the left side of the supermarket, and was suddenly surrounded by a large group of people.

"Please note, let's take a look at our robot testing."

Xu Chao held the microphone and became the host very amateur. Then he turned on the switch of the robot and walked to three meters away from the robot.

He continued with the microphone and said, "This robot was developed in cooperation with our Xingyi Technology and Yanhua University's Intelligence and Automation Laboratory. It is called 'Dongdong', and we call him Robot Dongdong."

After saying that, he shouted at the robot, "Dongdong, do gymnastics together."

The robot immediately made a sound, "Received the command!"

“Doing gymnastics!”

Xu Chao put down the microphone and started stretching his arms squarely. The robot's movements were slower than Xu Chao, but he also did the same stretching exercise.

After doing a few stretching exercises, Xu Chao began to change his movements. He swung his arms irregularly, and the robot also swung his arms. It can be seen that the movement is the same as Xu Chao.

This is action simulation.

The people who saw it clearly in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

Ordinary people just watched the fun and sighed at the development of intelligence. Professional researchers can understand the technical content.

First of all, we must recognize the movements of the human arm. Dynamic recognition is indispensable. Secondly, action simulation, allowing the robotic arm to do the same movements also involves many complex technical principles.

Xu Chao did it for about half a minute, then issued a 'pause' order, picked up the microphone and glanced around and asked, "Who wants to try it?"

Someone in the crowd immediately raised his hand.

Xu Chao found the first person to raise his hand. He was a lively and cute little girl, who was about ten years old.

The little girl found that Xu Chao was clicking, and seemed a little shy. She looked at the mother next to her. Her mother encouraged her a few words, and she went over to stand in Xu Chao's position.

Xu Chao smiled and said, "Hello, what's your name?"

"Hello, uncle, my name is Zhang Yifan." The girl smiled cutely.

Xu Chao's face turned dark when he called out the uncle. He suppressed his depression and said with a smile, "Yifan, hello, just like uncle just now, you can do whatever your arms can do, but don't move your feet, okay?"

The little girl who asked Yifan nodded vigorously.

Xu Chao issued an instruction to the robot to "continue to do gymnastics".

Yifan immediately started to wield her arms. She was very interesting. At first, she just did ordinary movements, but later she seemed to feel interesting, so she put her arms behind her.

The robot also did it, but the robotic arm could not be pressed down, and the flexibility was obviously much worse.

Laughing came from the crowd.

Xu Chao quickly asked Yifan to stop, check the robot, and found that there was no problem and let out a sigh of relief.

It's really...

Everything can happen during testing!

The first test is almost the same as here. As long as the technology is shown, he will immediately announce the next test.

The second test content was to put more than a dozen small plastic balls on the table, including red, yellow and blue. The robot had to sort the colors and place the small balls of the same color in different bowls.

The small ball is slightly larger than the glass ball, and the difficulty is quite high.

This test involves color, position recognition and precise mechanical control. Accurate mechanical control is not a big problem. For example, the precision processing of some factories will make the control more accurate, but the different principles are still very different.

Robots rely on cameras to identify objects. No matter where they are, they can control the robot, which is obviously different from fixing different machines.

The robot has no problem in identifying color, but it is obvious that there will be problems when grasping the plastic ball. On average, it will take two times to succeed once.

In the end, the robot completed the task and put the small balls of different colors into different bowls.

"Smack it..."

Everyone applauded.

Qian Hong stood next to Zhao Yi at some point. She knew the robot, but she didn't know that the robot could do such a subtle operation.

She asked Zhao Yi in surprise, "Can the robot be so flexible? Will this robot be sold to the public in the future? The price must be very high, right?"

"For sale to the outside world? Why?" Zhao Yi didn't react for a moment, "Do you want one?"

"I'm just asking." Qian Hong felt that there was a robot like this around her, which seemed to be very powerful.

Zhao Yi looked Qian Hong up and down, muttering in a low voice, "Aren't you thinking about something weird?"

"What strange thing? You're talking weird." Qian Hong thought about it and was confused.

Zhao Yi thought of a TV series he had watched. In one episode, the engineer, who took the robot arm to his home and started doing strange things.

Then... the computer crashed!

Stuck!

In the end, he could only go to the hospital to solve the problem with the help of his friends. The scene was really funny.

"If one day a robot arm is made for sale, you must mark it on the instruction manual: It is prohibited to use robot arm to do #￥% of things..."
