Technological Hegemony

Luo Jia began to assign tasks to the software department again. To realize autonomous driving in the true sense, a large amount of information collection must be completed first.

There are as many as dozens of sensors hidden in the car body, and the data collected by these sensors is transmitted to the central processing unit, which is information collection.

Followed by preprocessing.

The information obtained by the sensor may not be all valid. For example, in rainy weather, the sensor will collect a large amount of rainwater information. If the rainwater is regarded as an obstacle, the vehicle will not be able to drive. Therefore, a filtering mechanism is needed to filter out invalid information. Leave the part that really works.

The third is information fusion.

Suppose you are driving on a highway in rainy weather, the automatic driving system will get weather information, highway congestion information, traffic accident information, distance information between vehicles, wind resistance information, tire grip information, and so on a lot of information and data.

To process these data, it is necessary to establish a digital model, fuse all information together to form a real-time traffic system, and establish the priority level of information.

Again, decision planning.

The real-time road condition system has been established. According to the rainy situation, you should keep a slightly longer safety distance from the vehicle in front, because the road surface is slippery, and the anti-skid system should be ready to intervene at any time. Distribute different torques, these are all decisions made by the software.

Finally, there is the execution system.

After the system decision is made, it needs to be fed back to the mechanical part to execute the command, brake when it is time to brake, and turn when it is time to turn.

Only after solving these five major software difficulties, combined with the four major hardware systems, can a complete set of autonomous driving technology be truly put into use.

Luo Jia said lightly, "Everyone should have seen that the essence of the automatic driving system is actually industrial software, and through this period of hard work in the field of industrial software, we have accumulated a lot of experience and trained a large number of Top talents who write industrial software."

"In this world, industrial software is the most complicated and largest category. For example, the F35 fighter jet of the North American military has its own flight control software system, which is no less than 30 million lines of code. The autopilot system should not be like this. Huge, but according to calculations, it is also at the level of tens of millions of lines of code."

"Our autonomous driving pre-research team has done a lot of work before, but on this basis, we still need to make a lot of expansion and extension to make it have more functions.

Adapt to more scenarios. "

"For this reason, the software department will postpone the EDA project a little bit, and focus on solving the issue of autonomous driving. If there are no other problems, today's meeting will end here."

Luo Jia announced the end of the meeting, and everyone stood up and returned to their respective laboratories.

As a giant company, Stellar Technology has a lot of projects, mobilizing some people to tackle autonomous driving, while most of them still have to continue their own research topics.

Luo Jia called An Ran and Li Moran into the office and said: "Ultrasonic motors and automatic driving are the last two key links in the entire car system. Although electric cars contain countless subsystems, it is impossible for us to devote all our energy in this field."

"Everyone worked harder before the Spring Festival, and after the Spring Festival, the software and hardware departments will start a new journey at the same time."

An Ran leaned on the sofa and said with a smile, "No problem, I have been waiting for the company to enter the semiconductor field in my dreams. The optics side has been preparing for this for three years, and has almost all the lithography and etching machines in the world. station, and studied them all.”

Luo Jia shrugged, as if he was about to say something, but suddenly, Li Moran and An Ran saw Luo Jia's brows furrowed tightly, and his index finger squeezed his temple hard.

"Why, are you uncomfortable?" Li Moran asked with concern.

Luo Jia shook his head, "It's nothing, it was all night last night, and now I feel a little tired. In short, everything should be carried out according to the established plan. We have already had two years of pre-research and accumulation of automatic driving, and now is the time for us to show our swords."

Both Li Moran and An Ran did not lack the experience of headaches after staying up all night. In addition, Luo Jia's endurance was amazing, and he returned to normal after a moment of pain, so the two of them didn't think too much, nodded and returned to their respective jobs.

As soon as the two of them left, Luo Jia immediately closed the blinds, fell headlong on the sofa, tried not to groan in pain, but closed his eyes tightly, curled up his body, and looked in extreme pain.

The crazy voice that exploded his mind sounded again. Although there was always a voice in Luo Jia's ears, it was very weak, like the buzzing of mosquitoes around him.

Only when the golden dome transmits specific advanced knowledge, the sound will suddenly increase, and at the same time, the brain becomes extremely painful due to the high-density data transmission.

The first time this happened was when Luo Jia was still in school, the teleportation of the rudimentary artificial intelligence made him collapse on the playground track.

The second time, shortly after he started his business, Luo Jia was unable to go home that night due to the transfer of basic robotics technology, and stayed in the office for several hours.

In the past three years, Luo Jia has never received the advanced knowledge of the golden dome, and he has even forgotten what a crazy feeling it is to acquire advanced knowledge.

Until today, the elusive golden dome once again showed its great power, opening a new folder in Luo Jia's mind, and sending massive amounts of data to Luo Jia's brain crazily.

Luo Jia waited quietly. After drinking two cups of coffee in a row, the painful feeling seemed to be relieved, but advanced knowledge is often a folder with a huge capacity, and it is far slower than sending ordinary knowledge. When will the frantic tweeting stop.

So Luo Jia quietly went back to the meditation center, and under the service of the robot, he lay on the bed drowsily, thinking about what kind of technology this time would be.

The previous two speed transmissions sent Luo Jia scary technologies, artificial intelligence and robotics, so advanced that Luo Jia didn't dare to use them.

Robot plus artificial intelligence technology is completely an epoch-making product, which can directly destroy the existing human industrial system.

Although the junior robot is simple and simple, it is definitely not good for research, and it does not have a wonderful imagination, so it cannot be engaged in creative work.

But they are the most honest workers in the world. If they are put into mass production, cleaners, construction workers, and assembly line workers will all lose their jobs in place.

Unemployment is by no means a simple matter, and it will bring a series of complex social problems, so Luo Jia does not plan to mass-produce robots before he is ready.

Of course, according to the current cost, the cost of the robot is too expensive.

Core components, such as RV motors and harmonic geared motors, such as the entire semiconductor chip system, are all imported, and these problems also make Luo Jia full of concerns.

It is very unsafe to build a robot that uses imported circuits and motors, and the five-axis machine tool that is processed is also imported.

After nightfall, Luo Jia’s pain continued to ease. The robots made egg fried rice that was neither tasty nor tasty. Luo Jia reluctantly ate some and drank two cups of tomato juice. route map.

If you recall carefully, you will find that the development roadmap of Xingchen Technology is actually the long-term blueprint for the robotics industry.

Robots need electricity, so there are batteries and electronic controls, wireless energy wave transmission, and Karman vortex street power generation arrays.

Robots need to use ultra-precision motors, so there are permanent magnet vector motors and ultrasonic motors that are being researched.

Society needs to be able to accept the existence of robots more easily, so with the first and second generation of small stars, people today have accepted artificial intelligence, and they will not be stunned when they see real robots in a few years.

The core circuit of the robot needs semiconductor manufacturing, so Luo Jia develops industrial software, uses industrial software to support five-axis machine tools and semiconductor manufacturing platforms, and Star Optics has also been preparing for the company to enter the semiconductor field.

All in all, if you want to build a robot, you must first have a complete industrial system.

And according to the known conditions, junior robots can only replace workers, not researchers, so it is necessary to improve the education level of Star University and the national university system.

Sleep was impossible, so Luo Jia had to take a bath, lie on the bed, and endure the harsh voices.

It should be a very powerful technology, right?

Because this transmission takes much longer than the previous two.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Jia had already rested in the meditation center for two full days, but the high-speed data transmission still did not stop.
