"I didn't expect Ahao to upgrade you with so many functions. From a trash can to today's intelligent robot, all you have left is a smart core."
Gu Qing was filled with emotion when facing this round roller robot.
Who would have thought that after repeated transformations and upgrades, the mentally retarded sweeping robot would become a robot that is smarter than a smart butler and has more sci-fi hardware?
"Hygienist Xiaohao is updating frequently. Do you need to synchronize your information to the main server?"
Although this robot was "brought to the world" by Zhang Tianhao, the chip framework and the links to various external functions all use the technology taught by Gu Qing, and the system protocol also uses the common protocol of the Titan Star Department, so in terms of authority , Zhang Tianhao is really a little worse than Gu Qing.
The title "Teacher Gu" is more due to Zhang Tianhao's respect for Gu Qing.
Although there is no apprenticeship ceremony like in ancient times, for many young people who came to the Titan Department in the early days of its establishment, in their eyes, Gu Qing is their teacher.
Facing the robot Xiaohao's inquiry, Gu Qing nodded.
"Synchronize the information, and also temporarily summarize all the robot project information in the department and give it to me.
Data processing does not require a hidden background. "
After hearing the instructions, the pixelated expression on the OLED screen above the robot Xiaohao's head changed into a serious face that was immersed in work.
Three seconds later.
"Files are organized for delivery to your Document Center."
When Gu Qing heard this voice, a group of people who were still arguing fiercely in a room at the Titanium R&D base immediately stopped what they were doing. ;
"Why don't you let Mr. Gu come and experience it?"
Someone suggested something in a low voice, and everyone agreed.
Because this kind of thing for Gu Qing to test the results is already a common occurrence in this experimental base.
When Gu Qing experiences these products, he can not only experience them from the perspective of consumers, but also give many good opinions from a loftier vision and technical ability than R&D personnel.
Therefore, many R&D personnel have an understanding in their minds, that is, as long as issues such as disputes and route contradictions are put in front of Mr. Gu, they will definitely get the best solution that can be achieved at this stage.
Several minutes passed.
When Zhang Tianhao led a group of engineers and R&D personnel to surround Gu Qing, apart from a brief exchange of greetings, he explained the problem very straightforwardly.
As for the coy gesture, there is none at all. Treating the teachers they recognize, this group of R&D personnel are like primary school students, and they are very shameless in asking questions.
"Let me experience and test your engineering robot and living robot projects?"
Gu Qing picked up the tablet handed over by Zhang Tianhao and flipped through the reports on these two projects.
After the last large-scale integration of resources, the robotics project was the one that underwent the most rectifications but also retained the most resources.
"Yes, Mr. Gu, because this is not only related to the life of our astronauts in outer space, but also related to the operation of our outer space base.
Therefore, everyone has great differences on some projects. "
Zhang Tianhao clasped his hands behind his back, looking like a good student, and reported on the progress of the project and the areas where there were disagreements.
“The first problem is getting robots to reliably serve as assistants to us humans.
Moravec's Paradox holds that it is relatively easy for computers to perform difficult cognitive tasks, while it is extremely difficult to replicate the cognitive functions of a two-year-old child.
Although our robot's AI can now defeat Ke Quan, it is only in terms of calculation. The complex range of data processing needs to be upgraded. Even a lot of data now relies on feedback provided by hundreds of millions of smart home products around the world. Optimization of information.
For example, when doing housework, such as cleaning, washing dishes, and cooking, in addition to setting a complete action in advance, there are also auxiliary programs that allow the robot to respond accurately enough when faced with unexpected situations.
Dr. Zhang in the team believes that robots should rely on artificial intelligence and cloud communication for real-time interaction, but Academician Luo believes that our chips and AI already have the potential to allow robots to complete data processing independently, and wants to place the focus of data calculations on the local body of the robot.
There is also the question of how to deal with the coexistence of robots and humans.
There is no doubt that when robots mature and manufacturing and maintenance costs decrease, they will gradually squeeze out jobs in industries that cannot compete with them in terms of cost. "
Zhang Tianhao's story reflected a situation.
That is, as Jiuzhou Technology's scientific and technological research and development strength gradually leads the world, the resulting moral issues, social problems, even economic issues, and people's livelihood issues have become big problems that Jiuzhou Technology's R&D team must face and solve.
Even broadly speaking, when robots are more useful than "most people", robots will definitely crowd out many normal people's jobs, which will inevitably bring about a bunch of thorny problems.
Gu Qing looked at the report document. The robots that were created learned through big data and even through tens of millions of simulations, they were able to carry out basic cognition of ordinary objects in life.
He also knew why everyone in the laboratory was quarreling over these issues.
Because this is really terrible.
The robot, which was originally so clumsy that it would stagger when walking, has been upgraded again and again, and even a special product called smart butler has appeared. After collecting real life data from the outside world, combined with various data fed back by smart home appliances, the Titan Star department The latest robots can actively adapt to the environment on their own, and use truly massive amounts of data to summarize reliable tools and activity template programs to help them complete various tasks.
You know, in Western technology circles, the most advanced Boston Dynamics robot can only smoothly demonstrate body movements such as walking, jumping, and backflips, but it knows nothing about the surrounding environment other than other program settings.
Not only is it unable to complete the task independently, but the instructions even become dynamic instructions. If it is a little more complicated, it will crash.
Faced with these questions, Gu Qing did not give a definite answer.
He said seriously: "Although from the outside world, the problems we face are a bit too ambitious. After all, the cost of manufacturing and maintaining robots is higher than that of an ordinary natural person in the same period of time, but industrial products will definitely suffer due to volume. production and start to reduce costs.
In the future, robots will surely move from scientific research, military and other fields into the lives of the public, just like computers and mobile phones.
This requires us to put enough restrictions on it, and even strictly control our R&D and production. We have a pilot model in Daxia, which has performed well in terms of economy and other aspects. We can also use the pilot model in the future. mode for trial and error.
But we need to be serious enough and work carefully enough.
As for intelligent processing issues, we may not be able to solve many problems in the short term, but when we can fully mobilize the performance of 5 nanometer carbon-based chips and provide support through chip stacking and the cloud at all times, we may be able to provide some living environments in the short term. Smart enough service. "
When Gu Qing said this, the cameras, notes, and recordings of everyone in the laboratory never stopped.
After the conversation, Gu Qing was also taken to an "experimental exhibition hall" built by Xuanwu's Titanium department at a cost of 9.865874 billion.
First of all, in the living area, there is a suite with a layout that is roughly the same as that of an ordinary family with three bedrooms and one living room.
"This is the test area for living robots. We have already sent your data to the host in this room, using your name."
After Zhang Tianhao said this, he and other nervous R&D personnel retreated to the observation area.
They want to achieve zero interference to the experiment, and even sound cannot be transmitted through.
When Gu Qing walked outside the door of the room, the first thing that appeared was the green streamlined light show on the handrail of the door.
But at this time, the door still did not open, but entered the preparation state.
Gu Qing glanced at the security personnel beside him and said, "Mark the three people behind me as friends and give them permission."
At the end, he added.
"I'm safe now. There's no need to call the police. Just open the door."
Because Gu Qing personally led this project and had just read the report, he was mentally prepared and knew some basic operations and running conditions.
And under his leadership, Jiuzhou Technology's smart homes now don't have so many rigid and fixed operations. Many operations that they want to complete can be solved by just asking questions through dialogue.
After Gu Qing gave these orders, the sound of unlocking the door sounded.
A light smell of jasmine came to his nose, making Gu Qing, who was tired from running around during this period, feel a little relaxed.
Then a chubby little bear, about one meter tall, walked up to Gu Qing and others like a human.
"Sir, everything is fine at home during your business trip. The ingredients for dinner have been prepared for you. Do you want to cook later, or do you want to rest on the sofa?
The madam and the little master are having a parent-teacher meeting at school. Do they need to be notified now? "
"There is no need to inform them. I want to rest for a while. You can cook the food. Remember to keep it light and remove the fish bones."
As soon as Gu Qing finished saying this, Little Bear immediately stepped forward to help Gu Qing take off his shoes and change them.
The three security officers also saw the shoe cabinet open automatically, revealing three pairs of slippers inside. The size seemed to match their feet.
Perhaps this is the difference between an owner and a friend. The little bear did not personally help these security personnel with slippers and shoes.
Even after just a very polite greeting, Little Bear seemed to ignore these three people.
After putting on and taking off his shoes, Gu Qing walked straight to the sofa in the living room and lay down on the sofa as if he were back at home.
I don’t know how the material of the sofa is treated. It is obviously very soft when you lie down on it, but it also provides very gentle but not weak support for the waist and limbs.
At this time, the sofa actually made a sound.
A genderless mechanical voice sounded softly in Gu Qing's ears: "Sir, do you need a massage service?"
Gu Qing didn't speak, but nodded. The whole person seemed to be really tired.
The camera on the roof of the living room intelligently captured this moment of action. After a slight vibration, Gu Qing felt that several robotic arms began to work inside the sofa, covering his back, lumbar spine, thighs, calves, and even his neck and top of his head. The corresponding tool applies pressure and massage force.
The lights in the living room also became softer, so that Gu Qing, who was lying on his back, would not feel dazzled.
And Zhou Xin and others finally seemed to be remembered by the housekeeper.
The little bear raised his finger to the three of them in a very humane manner.
"Shh, sir, you are taking a rest. As your new friend, I don't know yet what special needs your guests have for food. If possible, can you do a survey?"
It was also the first time for Zhou Xin to experience this kind of arrangement, but when he saw Gu Qing lying on the sofa with his eyes closed and enjoying it, he still chose to shake his head.
Then said, "We don't need you to prepare food."
"Then please come with me. There are the latest spiritual ecological games in the entertainment room. If you also need massage, drinks and other services, you can also tell me."
Although Little Bear's reception was a bit stiff, his tone was very cordial.
It's just that this method is of no use to Zhou Xin and the other three. The security personnel only have their own mission goals in their eyes.
But Little Bear persisted and continued: "Then please sit down and have a rest. There is room on the sofa, or there are wooden tables and chairs next to the small table in the living room, which is very suitable for-"
"No need, we can just stand here."
Zhou Xin's expression of "Don't let strangers in" made Little Bear's face become embarrassed.
In the midst of embarrassment, this robot that had always been very intelligent seemed to be unintelligent.
Zhang Tianhao, who was not far away, saw this situation and hammered his right hand hard with his left hand.
"Alas! I forgot to set up a few more special scenario modes for the treatment of other non-masters."
Dr. Zhang next to him, who had been emphasizing that robots should strengthen real-time data interaction in the cloud, said at this moment: "Look, robots are just machines after all, not people. Moreover, there are many human beings who have shortcomings in social interaction, even in... In many ways it performs worse than robots.
At this time, we can collect information in real time and upload it to the cloud so that our AI and staff can update it immediately, and synchronize it to the programs of other robots. This can prevent other robots from having better problems when encountering this problem. solution. "
Facing the doctor's words, Academician Luo on the other side shook his head and said: "The feedback setting of this program is good, but currently this function will occupy a lot of chip computing space. In the limited computing space, we should consider Is localization processing smart enough.
Otherwise, if the user buys a robot that is updated 24 hours a day, which seriously wastes power and computing resources, it will slow down the progress of housework, and will only get a worse user experience. "
