"The grapes are coming!"
Before Peng Xiaofei arrived, the voice came first.
Then he returned to the laboratory empty-handed. In Ye Ming's surprised eyes, he took out a few grapes from his pocket.
"Now prices are so high that even grapes are being sold?"
"Hey, it's not for eating anyway, so I went to the cafeteria and asked for a few."
"I didn't see it, you're a money-saving expert." Ye Ming smiled and handed him the phone. He went to the tool box next to him and rummaged around for a while, and found an aluminum strip as long as his little finger.
"Be careful not to photograph me, and then help me think of my lines."
"I was just thinking about it on the way." Peng Xiaofei turned on his mobile phone camera and pointed it at the top of the robotic arm.
Under the camera of his mobile phone, Ye Ming replaced the clamping claws, then fixed the aluminum bar, and then fixed the cutter head on the base.
Peng Xiaofei on the side cleared his throat: "I want to sew the grapes. As a boy, what should I do without needles? It's okay, we can do it ourselves. In addition to completing fine movements, the robotic arm can also cooperate with the motor in the front joint to complete the task." Operation of various machine tools.”
"For example, now I plan to use an aluminum bar to make a needle for sewing grapes."
Ye Ming gave him a thumbs up: "Well matched."
"necessary."
As Ye Ming aligned the robotic arm and the cutter head, Peng Xiaofei also said again: "We know that the melting point of aluminum is not high and its hardness is not high, but there is nothing we can do. Our motor torque is too small and we can only cut it. --Yes or no?"
Ye Ming laughed beside him: "Yes."
As the two people sang and harmonized, Ye Ming started the mechanical arm.
The gripper of the robotic arm began to rotate rapidly and slowly extended towards the cutter head.
"We saw aluminum shavings flying, and a needle with a diameter of about 0.5 mm was being rapidly formed... Damn it, slow down, it's about to break."
I have to say that two people can work much faster than one person.
Moreover, as the operator of the RC team, Peng Xiaofei's hands are not generally stable, and the video effect he shoots is the same as that of a stabilizer.
"Another advantage of aluminum needles is that they are easy to pierce. Please pay attention."
Peng Xiaofei held up his mobile phone and pointed it at the aluminum pin at the end of the robotic arm: "It's time to reflect the visual positioning accuracy of the robotic arm."
Following his voice, Ye Ming also clicked the mouse cautiously.
The robotic arm accurately inserted a steel needle into the tail of the aluminum needle.
"The following is the threading. This is another moment to witness a miracle."
"The following is the moment to truly witness the miracle."
"Damn it, why did you oversew?"
"The force feedback is too small, let me adjust it..."
Time passed minute by minute.
When the grape sewing was completed, it was already evening.
In the laboratory, besides Peng Xiaofei, there were two more people, Li Dongsheng and Tao Zheng.
These two people also heard Peng Xiaofei say that Ye Ming was filming a video and rushed over to watch the fun.
"Okay, what we see next is the ultimate challenge. 3D sculpting!"
Following Peng Xiaofei's voice, the robotic arm that had replaced the three-dimensional knife slowly stretched toward the rotating base in front.
Sawdust was flying.
Under everyone's eyes, the prototype of Tinker Bell, a robotic cat, slowly appeared.
…
The hum of the motor slowly died away.
What followed was applause from Li Dongsheng and Tao Zheng.
"That's awesome." Li Dongsheng stared at the robotic arm with envy on his face: "Whoever has one like this at home will not have to worry about the figurines."
Tao Zheng also agreed: "Ye Ming, according to me, you should use it to participate in Daiso or Internet+. Maybe investors will take a fancy to it and invest in you to start a business and become the boss."
Peng Xiaofei disagreed: "Forget it, Ye Ming is all open source. Besides, if it really wants to be commercialized, I think it will still be inferior to other manufacturers that specialize in high-end robotic arms."
"Well, it really can't be compared." Ye Ming was also very calm: "This is originally used to practice hands. It's fine for doing some tricks. It's not good enough to be used as a tool."
Li Dongsheng and Tao Zheng laughed at the same time.
Think about it, if someone has this technology, wouldn't it be easy to find a big manufacturer in the industry with this robotic arm? Why should we start a business? It’s not like the good times we had a few years ago.
Later, several people gathered together to watch Ye Ming's video editing.
——They are indeed a little curious about how a video with two million views was born.
But after seeing it, they were disappointed.
Ye Ming used the most common video editing software. He first selected the highlight clips and then put them together casually - the kind that didn't even have transition effects.
After the videos are combined, he separates the audio tracks and writes lines according to the length of the videos.
It's just that many of the lines this time came from Peng Xiaofei's improvisation on the spot.
Finally, he used AI voice to convert the lines into audio files, and then merged them into the video, and he was done.
And when all this was done, the time came to ten o'clock.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the notification that the upload was completed.
"that's all?"
"if not?"
"I heard that when making a video, you have to think of ideas, do this and that, and set up a studio...and the cycle is very long." Li Dongsheng said with emotion on his face: "It's good for you, you can do it in one day. "
Peng Xiaofei laughed: "This is the power of technology."
…
…
The sixth floor of the Science and Technology Museum.
RM prepares the competition venue.
The RM Mecha Master team is preparing intensely for the competition.
At the end of last month, they successfully won the first qualifying round of the College League and will continue to participate in the cup after a two-month break.
Logically speaking, there is no need for them to stay up all night like this.
But... they had to endure it.
Because they changed the machine vision algorithm.
A month and a half ago, after they were "bloodbathed" by the RC team, they began to "work hard", which was specifically reflected in looking for excellent open source algorithms all over the world.
For example, the trumpet guy's machine vision is also one of their goals.
People, always have to realize the gap before they know how to work hard. From this point of view, it is better for them to be bloodbathed by non-opponent RC than to be bloodbathed by other opponents in the finals and semifinals.
Cao Junwen and Gao He, the team's algorithm master, were sitting cross-legged on the edge of the field.
Gao He checked the code intently, thinking about how to adjust the parameters.
Cao Junwen, on the other hand, scrolled through his cell phone rather boredly.
Suddenly, he was slightly startled. Then he shouted.
"Damn it, Brother Trumpet has updated it!"
Teammates who were practicing control around the field looked up blankly.
"Brother Trumpet! Tick tick tick tick!" Cao Junwen said loudly: "The one with the mechanical arm!"
"So what if it's updated? Are you a fan of his?" One of the team members responsible for controlling the robot asked with some disapproval.
"Fuck, nonsense! You don't know how strong this B is! And we use his algorithm!"
Cao Junwen suppressed his excitement and took a deep breath.
Started watching videos.
Ten minutes later, the video was finished.
Algorithm expert Gao He directly opened Brother Xiao’s GitHub account page.
——The trumpet brother said that he has updated the algorithm.
