Advanced Players in Arc

In the United States, a high-level intelligence command conference room.

The big screen in the conference room is also a live broadcast of Arc Light Technology, and the people in the conference room are some big bosses from the Ministry of National Defense and the military, as well as political figures and experts in robotics and artificial intelligence technology.

I just didn’t expect that big guys like them were actually watching the live broadcast.

At the beginning, the barrage was still on on the big screen, but after the robot came out, the barrage really affected the perception, so the big screen was turned off, and the intelligence personnel below were asked to pay attention to the barrage.

After all, it is an intelligence conference room, and there may be unexpected information in the barrage of the robot's live broadcast.

For example, those "technical" barrages that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

You don’t know whether the person posting the barrage on the other side of the computer is a robotics expert, a robot “brick master”, or just talking nonsense.

"Looking at this model of robot, what do the engineers from Google and Bolton Dynamics think?"

If Dong Chen were here, he would definitely know the general leading the meeting. He is Dong Chen's "old friend" General Sith.

Although his last battle failed.

We were also invited to have tea.

However, this has little impact on his status. He is still a military representative who understands both high technology and military and intelligence, so of course he still leads this intelligence meeting.

"Then let me start first, General," the technical engineer from Boltons Power said after hearing Sith's question.

I saw him writing on the notepad in his hand and saying, "From a physical point of view, its center of gravity is upward. It is more like a human being and much higher than Atlas's center of gravity."

"But seeing that it walks very steadily shows that they have high technology in this area."

"As for their walking posture, the design of their feet must be very complicated. At least there must be several large pieces of movable parts. Only in this way can they have a walking method similar to humans."

"The advantage is that it can adapt to complex terrain like humans, which is better than Atlas. However, the disadvantage is that it increases the amount of calculation control and consumes a lot more energy."

"It's unclear what kind of battery it uses, and we can't estimate the battery life. However, this model of robot is limited to humanoid simulations, and the battery cannot be as big as Atlas."

"There is also the uncertainty of its structural strength. I don't know if it can jump like Atlas, or even do somersaults..."

Boltons Power engineers evaluated and speculated on Arclight Technology’s FW series from various technical aspects, and compared each aspect with Atlas.

There is no way, Atlas Robot is their pride, and Bolton Dynamics is famously academic, technology is their mainstream, even if it is acquired by Google, it will not change much.

In comparison, some of the technical advantages of Arc Light Technology are still very obvious. Although some soldiers don't understand it very well, they understood it after his explanation.

However, there are also disadvantages, that is, the ultra-high anthropomorphic simulation limits the performance of many technologies, and it falls behind when compared with Atlas.

What arms cannot be reversed freely, various places cannot be rotated freely, etc.

There are also defects such as the battery cannot be enlarged.

The head cannot rotate 360 ​​degrees.

After all, if you choose beauty and personification, you have to discard a lot of them.

However, they also know that the FW series robots and Atlas are not robots with the same positioning, and are not actually comparable.

Directly from the perspective of technological maturity, if appearance is discarded, Arclight Technology will definitely be able to build a robot that is better than Atlas.

This is what they have to admit.

A Google representative confirmed this.

Compared with Botons Dynamics, which focuses on robotic hardware technology, Google Headquarters still focuses on artificial intelligence.

So the Google representative explained it from the perspective of intelligent systems.

Boltons Dynamics engineers saw the hardware technology from its actions and appearance, while Google’s side saw the intelligence of the analysis.

Why is Atlas designed like that, with short legs, flat feet, and rubber ball handles? It has a cute attribute when walking and working.

Didn't they want Atlas to look as handsome as he does in the movie?

Of course not.

Isn't it because the smart core is so bad that it has to make use of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses to achieve such a design.

"...It can be said that their artificial intelligence technology is very mature, at least in terms of sports programs."

"The specific other aspects still depend on the subsequent experimental process, but since they have positioned it as a housekeeping service type, they must be very confident."

After listening to the explanations of the two engineers, Sith nodded in agreement.

He has been in charge of the Bald Eagle troops all year round and has been exposed to a lot of advanced technologies. Moreover, he himself was a technical soldier before and has some understanding of this aspect.

At least he knows more than the average military general.

"Then if you put it that way, even the military value is not great?" He then asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency General," said the Boltons Dynamics engineer. "Compared to bipedal humanoid robots, wheeled or multi-legged robots are more suitable for war."

"Humanoid robots are most effective as technology demonstrators, or sold as commercial products based on customer preferences."

"The intensity and danger of battlefield movements are different from those in daily life, and the information to be processed is too complex. To be honest, even if the technology reaches that point, the cost of bipedal robots will make them give up the idea."

"Because under the same technical conditions, the cost of a bipedal robot is more than ten times that of a multi-legged robot and dozens of times that of a wheeled robot."

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. With the same technology, multi-legged and wheeled robots are simply crushing humanoids.

If one of the two legs is lost, the robot is considered useless.

It can go to complicated places with multiple legs, is more stable, and carries more armor on its back. And where the complexity is too much, multi-legged robots completely overwhelm bipedal robots, such as climbing walls, multi-legged robots can fire while climbing.

On the frontal battlefield, that is the world of wheeled robots. Bipedal robots can never outrun wheeled robots, and wheeled robots carry more armor on their backs than multi-legged robots.

And these two are much cheaper than bipedal robots.

If bipedal robots can appear on the frontal battlefield, it can only mean one thing.

That is cheating on the other side, and it has reached the level of technical crushing.

But...unfortunately, the opponent is really a loser.

"However, Your Excellency General, although this robot is not suitable for military purposes, with their technology, they can definitely build robots suitable for military purposes. Whether they are multi-legged or wheeled, the key to them lies in the intelligent system. Now It seems that this is not very difficult for them.”

"As long as they have this mature intelligent system, as long as they slightly modify the existing large-scale military weapons and then add the intelligent system, it will be a mature robot weapon, or an unmanned weapon."

After listening to their conversation, Google engineers added something to them.

As long as there is an intelligent core, it is easy for unmanned machines to perform tasks on the battlefield. It would be too narrow to limit it to robots.

"I know this," General Sith watched as Dong Chen and others boarded the car on the big screen and began their robot field experiment journey.

"As long as we get this technology before the Chinese military cooperates with them, it will be fine."

"Based on the current intelligence, China definitely does not know the progress of their robot research, otherwise they would not be allowed to release it so ostentatiously and directly display it in front of the whole world."

"This can be seen from the fact that their convoy does not have military protection, but it does not rule out their confidence in China's security."

"But this is convenient for us, and we will have it soon."

"This time, I will never miss again."

I’ve been busy with family work all day today, and I’m even more tired than going to work. I’ll work hard to write the second chapter and try to finish it before 12 o’clock. If I can’t finish it, I’ll post it together tomorrow night.
