Monster Factory

When the ten prototypes were brought to the company, they immediately attracted the attention of the employees with average age and Ye Qing.

I heard that Ye Qing said that this is one of the new products that the company is expected to launch. To test, employees are vying to wear alloy operation clothes.

The final main test task was in the remote operating room of the transit warehouse.

These employees have a lot of operational experience. They just put on the alloy operating clothes and can control the robot to do some simple actions. After a while, ten robots are in the office area, and the patrol dogs are turning around.

"Someone wants to pour water?"

"Don't move, this garbage junk let me come."

"Give this document to me, you are busy with you."

They volunteered to take care of them, but after doing two things, they could only shrink to the corner, using brooms and tea sets to practice themselves.

The wisdom of the masses is endless. After several hours of practice, they have barely managed to do simple things, such as pouring tea and delivering documents.

Then they started brains and began testing more advanced skills.

Someone is controlling the robot to write, some people contribute their own notebooks, control the robot hands on the keyboard and mouse, a serious practice typing. Also take a pair of scissors and twitch the potted plants.

In the afternoon, these staff members who kept testing the prototypes continued to send out a large number of experience reports.

At this point, these reports are on the conference table, and Ye Qing and several managers have a meeting to discuss.

in case

According to the score of 100 points, the employees who participated in the test can only give a maximum of 40 evaluations.

The report sorts out three of the most problematic issues and the remaining dozens of issues that need improvement.

The first is the operating distance.

The remote control device uses the 24002483 MHz band radio signal, which has the advantage of big data transmission in a short distance. Once the distance exceeds 100 meters, the robot will have a video-like Kardon scene.

When you move your finger, the robot may have a second to move, or it will not move at all.

If you control the robot within 100 meters, it seems that you don't have to do anything. You can walk over and do it yourself.

Of course, this is just a prototype, and no auxiliary equipment has been installed yet. Through the ubiquitous wireless network, or the 4 network, remote control robots thousands of miles away, there is no technical difficulty.

The second is the problem with the display screen.

Observing the environment around the robot through an 8-inch monitor at the waist, or controlling the robot, is very prone to prejudging the wrong position.

For example, if the control robot reaches for the soap, it feels that it is half a meter away. In fact, it is close at hand and can be touched with a slight reach.

The same monitoring point, the larger the focal length, the closer the scene, the farther the focal point feels.

With the smart focus installed, the camera with the simulated human eye function can be broken.

The third is the battery power problem.

Ten minutes of independent power supply time, it can almost be judged that when it is far away from the power supply, it can only be turned into an invisible device.

This is because the robotic arm simulates human motion and appears to be the simplest action, while the robotic arm has all the stepper motors and the main joint hydraulic system.

There are also prototypes that are equipped with a group of ordinary lithium-ion batteries. If a cobalt-lithium battery with higher energy density and a battery management system are used, the power supply time will be further increased.

However, at the meeting, it was not the focus of these discussions.

"Boss, this kind of robot is promising in the field of explosives, dangerous industries, and even in the medical field." The manager of the network department hangs a dignity on his brow, worrying: "It is only the core issue, how do we build?" A secure remote control network environment?"

"The No. 46 robotic arm in the last transfer warehouse was hacked, and we had to use physical isolation to prevent this from happening.

"in case"

"We use a remote network connection, so the possibility of being hacked and trying to steal the right to operate is almost 100%."

“When robots are used in homes or industries, stealing remote operations is the perfect way to commit crimes. It can even kill people.”

"If there is no 100% secure network control technology, we can't risk adding network control modules and may not be able to obtain a product certification certificate."

"Can we help the real eye? Ask him to help us improve the shortcomings of cyber security." Sales manager Kong Tao is full of expectations: "He is afraid that life safety is threatened, we can not announce the appointment of him very low-key Can also help him with a bodyguard."

The rest of the managers nodded, and the mysterious real eye was simply too strong.

Since the last shot, the hackers have never invaded the company's network system.

I don't know if it was scared, or the security software left by the real eye has worked. But no matter which one, you can prove the power of the real eye!

Ye Qing also understands the importance of cybersecurity. If this problem cannot be solved, the robot will not be able to enter the commercial market.

Of course, the robot is not the only product. From the perspective of price and practicality, the robot can't be the same as the Apple mobile phone, and can penetrate into the ordinary people's life.

However, in Ye Qing's vision, the development and commercialization of robots is very necessary. The sooner they are put into the market, the more important it is to establish product reputation.

It's like the relationship between a regular phone and a smartphone.

Once the monster factory has mastered the higher intelligence technology, the word-of-mouth made by the old-fashioned robots in the market in the early days can completely lead to life-changing innovations around the world.

Before eating dinner, Ye Qing sent an email to the real eye.

Now he should start school and is studying for graduate students at a university in China.

The content of the email is simple:

“Is there an absolutely secure network encryption communication in this world?”

Ye Qing received a reply from the real eye, which was already after dinner. At this point, Ye Qing was in a meeting to let the company's employees develop an improved second-generation prototype based on the problems found on the prototype.

Even for non-intelligent robots, it has ample market space.

This is based on the Ye Qing survey and the analysis of common problems in life.

After receiving the new email, Ye Qing opened the mobile phone mailbox and carefully checked the long-term reply sent by the real eye.

“There is only a relatively secure way of communicating with the Internet, and there is no absolutely secure means of communication.”

"There is no more complicated electronic encryption lock than a key lock. There is too much uncertainty in the software, and almost all banking systems in the world have been tried by hackers."

“Before we had a master in China, we used the internal network cable socket to successfully transfer 500,000 accounts to our own account.”

"To be absolutely safe, only from the mechanical side. To be continued. Your support is my greatest motivation.
