In fact, there is another reason, that is, with the strong rise of Wu Hao and others, they have received more and more attention. In particular, their huge potential in sensitive fields such as high-tech and military technology has caused some countries to become wary of them. For example, the United States has greatly increased its sanctions on them, causing them to encounter great trouble in overseas markets. And recently, due to the fruit patent infringement incident, the United States has increased their sanctions, and there are even rumors that it is considering restricting its allies from exporting high-tech accessories to companies targeted by sanctions.
Although Wu Hao and others use domestic parts as much as possible, they still rely on foreign companies for some cutting-edge parts.
For example, chips, such as this high-definition lens. Among them, Wu Hao's largest lens supplier is S Ni from the Japanese country.
If Sini ultimately cannot withstand the pressure from the United States and ultimately suspends supply to them, they will face a situation of no goods available.
This also gave Wu Hao and the others a strong sense of crisis, and they set up a plan B.
What is plan B is another plan, a backup, a spare tire, whatever, similar to H's spare tire plan.
The purpose of setting up Plan B is to require them to establish a backup supply chain in addition to the existing upstream supply chain of parts and components, so as to prevent their product production from coming to a halt if this upstream supply chain is disrupted.
It is also because of this plan that they have been increasing their support for domestic enterprises in recent years. For products of the same level, domestically produced products are given priority, even if the procurement cost of domestically produced parts is higher.
Secondly, it is to actively screen excellent domestic parts production suppliers and include them in Plan B to prepare for activation in an emergency.
In fact, the list of companies in Plan B will be updated every once in a while to ensure that Plan B can be launched normally at any time.
In addition, Wu Hao and the others are also actively engaged in self-research and development. For example, they have established multiple smart manufacturing factories (intelligent unmanned factories) in order to increase their ability to resist risks.
These smart manufacturing factories can not only produce products, but also produce various parts. Because it adopts a modular design when socializing, it can be replaced at any time, and it can even be personalized to produce products of different sizes, truly customized products.
When it comes to this, we have to talk about Wu Hao’s battery factory. At present, their new lithium battery is still the latest hot product in digital electronic products around the world. Basically, the latest flagship products released are all suitable for their batteries or batteries. technology.
Although they have licensed new lithium battery technology related to other lithium battery companies, this is only the first generation technology. Currently, their battery factory is already producing the third generation of new lithium batteries. This latest lithium battery is much better than the previous generation product. The performance has been greatly improved, not to mention directly crushing the first-generation product.
In addition, in addition to new lithium battery technology, Wu Hao and the others also have more advanced super solid-state batteries.
At present, this solid-state battery is not widely used and is only used in some cutting-edge products. Take Wu Hao and others, for example, this super solid-state battery is currently only used in Wu Hao’s smart AR sunglasses and the latest generation of smart AR glasses.
Other manufacturers wanted it very much, but Wu Hao refused to let go, and these manufacturers had nothing to do.
However, this is not enough. In terms of some cutting-edge technologies and components, they are also very dependent on imports, such as the chips and lenses mentioned earlier.
So in order to get rid of this restriction, they can only work hard on their own. This hexagonal honeycomb compound eye lens has the opportunity to break the foreign monopoly and upgrade domestic optical imaging technology to the international advanced level, truly making it possible to run fast in small steps and overtake in corners.
Secondly, this hexagonal honeycomb compound eye lens, because it can produce a panoramic view and present a significant sense of depth, is also a very important optical sensor, or electronic glasses, for future intelligent robots.
That's right, intelligent robots, this is also the key research area of Wu Hao and others. At present, they have made major breakthroughs in software. The artificial intelligence system they released is already smart enough, and it can be said that it has changed the lifestyles of countless people and families.
Wu Hao's personal intelligent assistant 'Coco' is one of the best and has become the company's brain.
Except that it has no personal consciousness and no body, it is actually similar to a human being. If you talk to it on the phone, you can't even tell that it is an artificial intelligence program.
But in terms of hardware, their progress is relatively slow.
In order to solve the problem of poor battery life of robots, they developed new lithium batteries and super solid-state batteries to improve the battery life of smart robots.
In order to make its movements flexible enough, they have developed an intelligent robotic arm that can completely replace the human hand, and its flexibility is higher than that of the human hand.
In order to allow it to move freely, Wu Hao and the others developed intelligent mechanical legs and feet. At present, this smart machine has been used on some disabled people and has received a lot of praise.
But this is still not enough, because this is still only a small part of the intelligent robot, and there are still many problems that need to be solved, such as the driving problem.
The human trunk is one of the most important parts of the human body. It contains 90% of the organs in the human body, and it is also extremely supportive.
If nothing else, the spine driven by the human body cannot be bionic yet. Although it only has a small amount of activity, it bears a very large weight of the human body and is also very flexible.
In addition, let’s talk about the eyes of intelligent robots. As its main window for external observation and the way to obtain information, the robot's eyes are crucial.
The current electronic lens technology is also very advanced and can be used as the eyes of intelligent robots, but it is obviously not enough.
If future intelligent robots want to replace humans in doing some work or perform more difficult tasks, they must have a good pair of glasses.
The compound eye lens is the best representative among them. It allows intelligent robots to get rid of the dilemma of being turned into Muggle faces by the camera, and also allows intelligent robots to have many functions.
It can have an ultra-wide angle, even a 360-degree panoramic view, and can also observe at ultra-long distances. It can also achieve macro, low-light, infrared, and even X-ray functions, making it truly a pair of super glasses.
This is the ambition hidden in Wu Hao's heart, and it is also an important reason why he spares no effort to support this project.
It's almost here, we're very close to this goal.
