Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "This is the right thing to do. Humanoid bionic robots are equivalent to our clones. If they are made weirdly, we will really get crazy, such as flying. Once we get used to controlling humanoid bionic robots, But in reality we can’t fly, so it’s easy to get confused.”
"When we were discussing the plan, I supported the current plan. Humanoid bionic robots are not mechas. There is no need to do those fancy things." Xu Zhengping said seriously, "If you really want to do it, then use it on mechas. Whatever you want, You can do anything.”
He and Fan Xiaoming had the same idea.
The humanoid bionic robot is quite a clone of a human being. Since it is a clone, it cannot be too different from a human being.
In his opinion, humanoid bionic robots are still better.
As for special functions such as flying, you can completely use peripheral equipment, and then there are mechas.
You know, after the plan for humanoid bionic robots is determined, mechas will achieve great development.
If humanoid bionic robots are human clones, then remotely controlled equipment such as mechas and construction machinery can be regarded as remotely controlled "robots."
With brain-computer integration technology, the human brain can be connected to the Internet, which means that human consciousness can directly control humanoid bionic robots, mechas, engineering machinery, etc.
Su Zhe nodded and said: "I also think this is good. Humanoid bionic robots are quite a clone of us. It is not good to make them weird. Besides, with the brain-machine integration technology, the difference between mechas and robots is also obvious." There’s not much difference.”
Traditionally speaking, there is a big difference between robots and mechas.
A robot can act autonomously, regardless of whether it has intelligence or not, and can be regarded as a separate individual.
Mecha is easy to understand. It is quite a "big robot" driven and controlled by humans.
As for the current humanoid bionic robots, strictly speaking, they cannot be called robots, because humanoid bionic robots are not separate individuals and require remote control by humans.
A mecha is quite a "big robot" with a cockpit. Both real people and humanoid robots can control the mecha in the cockpit, and they can also control the mecha remotely.
To put it simply, humanoid bionic robots are quite human, and a mecha is still a mecha, but with the added function of remote control.
"Yes, yes!" Zuo Dajun said with a smile on his face, "I thought it was not good to make the humanoid bionic robot weird from the beginning. This is our clone. It has to do the same thing as us. As for the other Let mecha do it, such as flying, attacking, etc."
After determining the development direction of humanoid bionic robots, he has been extremely happy these two days.
Previously, when he was working on armored space suits and mechas, he was constantly suppressed by the humanoid bionic robots developed by Bao Qizheng and others.
Just think about it, how does a mecha piloted by a real person compare to a remotely controlled humanoid robot?
There is absolutely no comparison.
Take the comprehensive development of the moon as an example. Whether wearing an armored space suit or driving a mecha, it is not very convenient to move around on the moon.
The same cannot be said for remote-controlled humanoid robots.
In the former case, real people want to go to the moon, and they have to go there in person.
In this process, the person's own three emergencies, as well as the person's life-support system, etc., are very troublesome to deal with.
The latter is much more convenient.
It would be great if people on the earth remotely controlled the humanoid robots on the moon to work.
In the past, due to technical problems, it was still difficult for remote-controlled humanoid robots to do some delicate work, which required real people wearing armored space suits to complete.
Now, brain-computer integration technology is about to achieve a breakthrough.
After the breakthrough, remote control of humanoid bionic robots can be like controlling a person's own body, which means that humanoid bionic robots can do almost all the tasks of real people.
At this time, humanoid bionic robots can not only replace all people wearing armored space suits, but also real people doing experiments in the serial laboratory.
You can imagine that.
After the breakthrough of brain-computer integration technology, almost all activities within a radius of 750,000 kilometers with the earth as the center can be replaced by humanoid bionic robots.
For example, those wearing armored space suits in Earth orbit and on the moon can be replaced by remotely controlled humanoid robots.
Without this standardization, mechas would have no chance to challenge humanoid bionic robots.
You know, after this standardization, the humanoid bionic robot has been redefined, and it is quite a clone of a human being.
In this way, humanoid bionic robots will only develop in the direction of becoming more and more like real people.
As for those "innovations", it depends on the mecha.
Bao Qizheng glanced at Zuo Dajun with some dissatisfaction and said: "On the premise that we are making good humanoid bionic robots, we will also build mechas. I now feel that mechas have unlimited future."
】
As humanoid bionic robots are standardized, the development ceiling of remote-controlled humanoid bionic robots is limited, which means that the development of remote-controlled humanoid bionic robots is restricted.
From his perspective, it was the right thing to do.
He is also supportive.
Zuo Dajun looked at Bao Qizheng and said quickly: "You can't do this. You should focus on the humanoid bionic robot. Let us take care of the mecha."
Bao Qizheng said with some disdain: "It's good if we don't get involved in space suits. You also asked me not to get involved in mechas. How is this possible? Besides, if you don't let us get involved in mechas, can you stop other universities and research institutes?" Aren’t you going to get involved?”
He and Zuo Dajun had a competitive relationship from the beginning.
Although he is developing robots and Zuo Dajun is developing space suits and mechas, the functions of the two are highly overlapping.
He naturally became an opponent.
"I..." Zuo Dajun thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid you don't have enough energy. After all, the research on humanoid bionic robots requires a lot of manpower and material resources."
Hearing what Bao Qizheng said, it was really hard for him to refute.
As far as he knew, other universities and research institutes also had many robot and mecha research teams, but they were inferior to them.
As for asking these scientific research teams to no longer study robots and mechas, this is unrealistic and impossible.
Bao Qizheng said with a smile: "How come? Our School of Computer Science has enough scientific research personnel, and there is no shortage of scientific research funds."
Zuo Dajun nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, we are not short of these. Let's not talk about these. I heard that when the humanoid bionic robots were standardized this time, the development of robots was also discussed. What I said It is the development of traditional robots. At present, artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, and it is not difficult to create intelligent robots. However, I heard that there are great restrictions on the development of intelligent robots."
We have always been highly vigilant about the development of robots.
The mechas he built and the humanoid bionic robots Bao Qi was building were not "robots" in the strict sense. They could only be said to be robot bodies.
The main thing they study is the body of the "robot". They also study the "brain" that controls the body, but they are very careful.
Regardless of whether it is a humanoid bionic robot or a mecha, the "brain" it controls is a human.
Even the upgraded humanoid bionic robots and mechas are like this.
A robot in the true sense is an individual, just like a human being.
Such robots have been under research, but with great limitations and monitoring.
Because everyone knows that such robots are very dangerous.
Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming, Xu Zhengping, and Bao Qizheng all laughed when they saw Zuo Dajun changing the topic.
Xu Zhengping said with a smile: "Intelligent robots are not ordinary robots. They are a combination of strong artificial intelligence and humanoid bionic robots. It is no exaggeration to say that such a combination will pose a great threat to human beings. For this reason, Our research on robots, or to be precise, on artificial intelligence, is highly monitored.”
Research on robots can be divided into research on their bodies and intelligence.
Research on the former has gone very far.
For example, the current humanoid bionic robots and various types of mechas and construction machinery, etc.
These can be regarded as the body of the robot.
It can be said that the degree of physical development of robots is already very high.
As for the latter, it is the research of artificial intelligence.
The current research on artificial intelligence is already between weak artificial intelligence and strong artificial intelligence.
In a sense, the development level of artificial intelligence has been very high, but there is still a long way to go before strong artificial intelligence.
Research on artificial intelligence has always been limited to a small scope and is subject to comprehensive monitoring.
However, there are no restrictions on researchers’ research on artificial intelligence.
You know, artificial intelligence is being used in many fields today.
Such as automation, intelligent manufacturing factories, etc.
Fan Xiaoming nodded and said: "Right now, the relevant departments do not plan to use robots in the traditional sense on a large scale, because once a robot in the traditional sense gets out of control, the consequences are unimaginable, especially for highly intelligent robots. By then, we humans will not be able to use them at all. It’s not an opponent.”
Bao Qizheng thought for a while and said: "Then we won't develop intelligent robots? I don't think this will happen. With the development of science and technology, research on artificial intelligence and intelligent robots is inevitable, even if the regulations Research is not allowed, but some people will always do research secretly. In my opinion, it is better to avoid it than to actively attack it."
Their research on intelligent robots has been ongoing.
As far as the intelligent robots currently being studied are concerned, if they are not informed in advance, it is completely unknown whether they are intelligent robots or human-controlled robots.
On the surface, such intelligent robots look great, but in fact they are very stupid. In addition to repetitive tasks, they are incapable of doing slightly more complex tasks.
What he looks forward to is the emergence of strong artificial intelligence.
In his view, once there is strong artificial intelligence, the robots controlled by it can be regarded as truly intelligent robots.
As for whether it is as powerful as in science fiction movies, this is still unknown.
"Yes, yes!" Zuo Dajun nodded quickly, "We have to take the initiative to research, we can't be afraid...it's not just intelligent robots, even if the intelligent robots really have consciousness and rebel against humans, at worst, they will have a fight, whoever is more powerful will be Just dominate this world.”
Xu Zhengping said with a smile: "Yes, yes, your idea is a good one. We cannot escape and face challenges head-on. However, we must be prepared from the beginning. We must face the problem squarely. With the development of science and technology, artificial intelligence The awakening of intelligence, that is, the emergence of strong artificial intelligence, is inevitable and cannot be avoided unless we stop the development of our science and technology from now on, which we obviously cannot do."
Fan Xiaoming nodded with a smile and said: "It is impossible to stop the development of science and technology, but we can find ways to deal with it. For example, as someone mentioned, the body and brain of intelligent robots are separate, just like humans and remote Controlled humanoid robot.”
Precautions for artificial intelligence have been taken from the beginning.
Take a robot in the traditional sense, it is a complete whole.
But in order to better protect against robots, the robot's information processing center, which is equivalent to the human brain, is separated from the robot's body.
In fact, it is like a human being remotely controlling a humanoid bionic robot.
Intelligent robots can be seen as a combination of artificial intelligence and robots without a "brain".
From the beginning, separate the two to facilitate later control and monitoring.
Su Zhe said seriously: "We should treat intelligent robots with caution, but there is no need to worry too much. Even if there is strong artificial intelligence, it will not be as strong as described in science fiction movies. , strong artificial intelligence is invincible, then there should be countless strong artificial intelligences in the universe now, but in reality, there are none, at least we have not found them yet."
Strong artificial intelligence is a paradox.
Science fiction movies describe strong artificial intelligence as extremely powerful.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that strong artificial intelligence will not be so defiant.
According to the current definition, strong artificial intelligence has consciousness and the ability to create like humans.
From a micro perspective, every calculation and thinking of strong artificial intelligence consumes energy, and this process takes time.
Even if strong artificial intelligence can increase computing power, it will always take time.
From a large perspective, the power of strong artificial intelligence is also limited.
There are thousands of intelligent beings in the universe. In the process of development of these intelligent beings, as long as they exist long enough, strong artificial intelligence will be developed sooner or later.
If strong artificial intelligence is as powerful as described in science fiction movies, strong artificial intelligence will occupy the entire universe if it continues to develop.
"That's right." Xu Zhengping said with a smile, "We don't manufacture robots in the traditional sense... The purpose of this public solicitation of opinions by relevant departments is to deal with possible intelligent robot crises in the future. From my perspective, I support splitting the robot in the traditional sense. The two parts of the split, the control part can be regarded as artificial intelligence, and the controlled part is called... called..."
"Machine puppet, referred to as machine puppet!" Fan Xiaoming said quickly.
