Upgrade The World From Hongmeng

Chapter 143 Humanoid Robot Solution

Liu Hanqing was officially appointed as the general manager of Long Wei Yunchuang. At the moment, what she cares most about is the opening of the immersive 3D interactive experience hall. Since the progress of the virtual scene cannot keep up with her plan, the entire Long Wei Yunchuang manpower All the resources were transferred to support Wang Hao’s virtual scene development. As a result, the plan of manga animation was suspended, and it would not be restarted until a month later.

On August 5th, after Wu Hao was busy with Haotian Technology, he walked around in various departments and came to Wang Hao’s studio. He found that Liu Hanqing had also listed 5 alternative projects, and everyone was very busy. Because of staying up late and working overtime, Wang Hao developed a pair of panda eyes.

Song Zhe didn’t get much better. He was responsible for adjusting the atmosphere of the scene. Due to Liu Hanqing’s abnormal requirements for details, each scene was adjusted and adjusted, and at this time he was also turned into a national treasure of mental exhaustion.

Wu Hao originally wanted to work with another group of people in Haotian Technology to do comic cartoons, but found that all those who could be transferred were recruited by Liu Hanqing. Cao Yongliang released an urgent task for the production scene in Haotian Technology, and put Haotian The employees with a little bit of free time in science and technology all dig to catch up with the progress.

In the face of this situation, Wu Hao has nothing to do. At this time, he and Long Weiyun are both prosperous and lose everything. At such a critical moment, it is still necessary to support the opening of the immersive 3D interactive experience hall first, and to change the animation. Let’s talk about it beforehand, there is still time anyway.

On the way back to the office, Wu Hao saw a half-human humanoid robot in Gu Fan’s workshop. Gu Fan was testing the robot.

“You got the finished product so soon?” Wu Hao was surprised at Gu Fan’s progress.

“How is it possible? This is borrowed from the school. I plan to look at other people’s achievements.” Gu Fan answered while working.

Wu Hao was already busy with the work at hand at this time, just when he was free, he sat on the chair next to him and watched Gu Fan fiddle with the robot.

After watching for a while, he felt that something was wrong. In the memory of previous lives, the skeletal robot was not so complicated. The control of the limbs was uniformly directed by the computer system in the body, and the control signals were transmitted through optical fibers, and the joints and fingers were controlled through The motor is driven.

A dynamic balance system is built into the robot body. This system is not a bionic system, but a dynamic center of mass balance device is placed in the body to solve the problem of dynamic balance when the body moves.

The structure of the humanoid robot in front of it is very complicated. There are so many signal lines and actuating mechanisms around the bones, which make people dazzled. Moreover, it moves very slowly and can’t keep up with the speed of normal people at all.

In the memory of previous lives, the most expensive part of the entire robot is the bionic manipulator palm, which can be as flexible as a human hand, but in practical applications, such high-end goods are rarely configured. For example, when welding, it is directly replaced by welding. Arms, screws, hammers, and cutting will also have corresponding mechanical kits, as well as a dedicated gripping manipulator palm, which is not expensive.

“Gu Fan, have you misunderstood what I want!” Wu Hao suddenly realized that there should be a problem with his statement.

“Don’t you want a humanoid robot that can be controlled remotely?” Gu Fan raised his head, frowned, and asked suspiciously.

“Yes, but it’s not such a complicated thing. It consists of three parts, a fully simulated limb skeleton, a torso that controls the balance of the body, and a head that directs the movement of the body. People can remotely control it through an immersive 3D simulator. “Gu Fan described what he wanted based on the memory of his previous life.

“Um… come and take a look, is this something you want?” Gu Fan opened his notebook and showed Wu Hao a video of an upright robot walking.

The robot in this video looks very rudimentary. The limbs are made up of 8 bone sticks. The feet and feet are directly like a pair of flat shoes, plus a bucket-like body. There are also a pair of cameras on the head. A foreign fat man is wearing VR glasses. , Twisting his body to dance, the robot is imitating his movements.

Throughout the video, although the robot’s movements are occasionally delayed, the movements are coherent and synchronized, and there is no falling or overturning. The robot’s bucket body will dynamically change its shape according to the change of the body’s center of gravity to maintain the balance of the robot’s body.

“Yes, what I want is this effect… Can you contact this fat guy? Buy the entire technology!”

Wu Hao was sure that this was what he needed. Although there were still many differences from the robot in his memory, it was relatively close in terms of flexibility and stability.

“This fat guy used this video to publicly sell the technology of this robot on the Internet, but due to patent issues, no one has given a quote until now.” Gu Fan introduced the story behind this video.

“What is the origin of this fat man?” Wu Hao was very interested.

“He used to be a graduate student at Princeton University. The subject of university research was robot control technology. According to his own introduction, by simulating the movement of human bones and adding a set of independent stability control systems, human body control robots can be produced at a very low cost. But no one believes him, and the related results are also taken by the professors of the research group as their own.” Gu Fan introduced.

“Do you have a channel to contact him? If possible, let him fly to Pengcheng and we will talk in person.” Wu Hao wants to take a gamble. If it is fake, he will lose a little money on the ticket. If it is true, he will make a profit. It’s a big deal.

“Let me try it… But I want to remind you first, this alternative robot solution is very different from the classic robot solution. As far as the precision of the operation is concerned, it will definitely not achieve the effect of the classic robot. If you want to invest, you need to carefully consider this issue.” Gu Fan used his professional knowledge to vaccinate Wu Hao in advance.

“There are many applications that don’t require too fine operation. A welder robot doesn’t even need legs. It walks directly on wheels, plus a welding torch arm. It’s not for surgery. If you want to spray paint, you need to replace the spray gun arm. For bricklaying, use an ordinary mechanical gripper. The advantage of a humanoid machine is that it can be manipulated comfortably. It does not require a joystick to work. It is flexible enough to be economical.” Wu Hao expressed his understanding.

Remote control of humanoid machinery has great application prospects in the future. Many jobs in difficult environments will use remote control of humanoid machinery to replace people to the scene, such as fire fighting, border patrol, steelmaking, coal miners, high-altitude operations, and so on.

This kind of robot does not need to be too intelligent, as long as it needs to be flexible enough to be used, and only if it is cheap can it be promoted on a large scale.

Wu Hao accidentally found a solution for a humanoid robot. It is not clear whether it can be used by him, but as long as it is something that will appear in the future, it is worth investigating. As long as it can be commercialized on a large scale, it is a big deal. Business opportunities.
