Chapter 157 Remote Control of Humanoid Mechanical Skeleton
On October 30, Wu Hao was resting at home and suddenly received a call from Gu Fan.
"Wu Hao, I contacted the fat guy who is a skeletal robot, when will he get to Pengcheng?" Gu Fan asked.
"The sooner the better, you confirm the itinerary with him, and I will let Assistant Song make a budget." Hearing the news, Wu Hao sat up straight from the sofa excitedly.
"Okay, I will communicate with him now!"
......
At around 7pm on November 1, Wu Hao and Gu Fan held a sign to pick up people at Pengcheng Airport. The other party was a fat young man named Smith. It took 28 hours to fly from Citi to Pengcheng.
"Hello!" A strong foreign man with a peaked cap and a height of over 1.8 meters appeared in front of the two of them and greeted them actively.
The image of this foreigner is very different from the person in the video, and Wu Hao suspects that the other person has admitted the wrong person.
"Hi, Smith, it's nice to meet you!" Gu Fan embraced the other side warmly, confirming the other side's identity.
"This is Smith. He has fallen in love recently, and he is not looking like the fat man in the video in crazy fitness." Gu Fan explained to Wu Hao.
"Mr. Smith, welcome to Pengcheng!" According to international practice, Wu Hao also hugged the other party.
As Smith had arranged his schedule very tightly, after the three of them had dinner, they immediately returned to Haotian Technology to discuss the skeleton robot.
When they came to the conference room, the three of them sat down, and Smith first spoke: "Mr. Wu, I have checked information about Haotian Technology on the Internet. You are a company that develops smart home products. It has only been two years since its establishment. The scale of the company is not large, why are you interested in humanoid robots?"
In the field of humanoid robots, most of the patented technologies belong to foreign giants. If you want to achieve technological breakthroughs, you must burn a lot of money. For a newly established high-tech company, it will be very difficult to make achievements in this field. Thing.
Obviously, this foreigner was questioning the strength of Haotian Technology.
Faced with doubts, Wu Hao smiled and replied: "Mr. Smith, what our company wants to enter is not the field of humanoid robots, but the field of remote control of humanoid mechanical skeletons!"
"Mr. Wu, I don't understand the meaning of what you said. Could you please explain, what is the difference between a humanoid robot and a humanoid mechanical skeleton?" Smith asked in confusion.
Even Gu Fan cast a suspicious look at Wu Hao.
"There is a big difference between the two. A humanoid robot is an intelligent machine that strictly imitates human actions. It integrates a comprehensive recognition system, an action management system, a perception management system, an AI intelligent judgment system, etc., as an integrated intelligent solution. It is a kind of machine with autonomous judgment consciousness. The higher the degree of simulation, the more difficult it is to develop and the more money to burn."
Wu Hao first introduced what kind of existence he recognized the humanoid robot.
"Um...Mr. Wu, I agree with your explanation of the humanoid robot. Although this explanation is not precise enough, it has already summarized most of the important points." Smith agreed with Wu Hao.
Wu Hao went on to explain: “As for the humanoid mechanical skeleton, it is a product that has not yet been developed, and its product concept is also brand new. The product on the market that is more similar to it is an exoskeleton robot. This mechanical skeleton is The limbs can simulate all the movements of the human limbs. The body is a self-stabilizer of action, which ensures that the mechanical skeleton can walk upright like a human, keep balance at all times, and is not easy to fall."
"In general, what I want is not a robot with a sense of judgment, but a mechanical structure that can imitate human actions!" Finally, he made a summary.
"Oh... I probably understand what you mean... Mr. Wu, look over here... Look at my arm and shadow, do you want such an effect?" Smith waved his arm to the light, the wall The faint shadow on the top moved with it.
"Mr. Smith, your explanation is very vivid. What I want is this effect. Through remote control, this mechanical structure can completely simulate human movements and postures!" Wu Hao is very satisfied with Smith's understanding. People who can understand it will be very relaxed and happy to cooperate.
"Mr. Wu, let me confirm again. What you need is a set of mechanical structures that can simulate the movements of human limbs, plus a set of body stabilization system. This set of equipment is driven by pure electric power and needs to be operated remotely through a remote communication system. , Is my description correct?" Smith is a very strict person.
"Yes, this is what I want!" Wu Hao replied very positively.
"Mr. Wu, your needs are not too technically difficult. The existing technology can already meet your needs. You only need to buy some patented products to assemble it. If you want to make a few samples, I can help. As far as the cost is concerned, I estimate that each set should be controlled at around US$1 million." Smith said an astonishing price.
"One million dollars, this is too expensive!" Gu Fan was taken aback by the price, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Mr. Gu, this price is very fair. They are all clearly marked products. You can search for their prices on ancient songs. I did not deceive you!" Smith said that he is an honest person.
"Mr. Smith, you are misunderstood. Gu Fan means that such a price cannot be produced in large quantities. We need to consider how to cut costs. Could you please explain the price of each part of the structure and see if there is room for compression. "Wu Hao quickly explained for Gu Fan, and by the way asked Smith to explain the composition of the price so that he could make a reasonable judgment.
"A set of mechanical skeletons is 100,000 US dollars, a movement stabilization mechanism plus a control software set is 600,000 US dollars, a power integrated system is 100,000 US dollars, and a remote communication remote control system plus remote control equipment is 20 US dollars. These are just estimates. The price should be Floating, but not too different.” Smith explained.
"If we only purchase the patented technology of the mobile stabilization mechanism and related control software, how much will it cost?" Wu Hao asked.
Mechanical skeletons and related control systems, integrated power control systems, remote control systems, and remote control simulators can all obtain free patent authorization from Huawei.
Only this action stabilization mechanism and control software are implemented by Huawei using dynamic stabilization algorithms, which require the use of computing power to dynamically adjust the robot's posture to maintain balance, and cannot cope with the balance problems caused by high-speed motion.
The action stabilization mechanism that Smith said is realized by moving the counterweight to change the center of gravity of the machine. It has the advantages of simple structure, fast response speed, high reliability and low maintenance cost. The disadvantage is that it increases the dead weight of the mechanical body. More power consumption.
As far as the current battery energy density is concerned, this is no longer a big problem. Moreover, after the mechanical body is mass-produced, the battery can also be made into the shape of a counterweight, which can effectively reduce weight.
"5 million dollars should be available." Smith gave an estimate.
"OK, thank you very much Mr. Smith for giving us professional guidance, thank you!" Wu Hao asked what he wanted, very happy, got up and shook hands with Smith.
After sending the guests away, Wu Hao asked, "Gu Fan, I'll give you a task. According to the principle of the action stabilization mechanism, use the battery as a counterweight and study a set of similar things. Can it be done?"
"There should be no problem!"
"In this case, even the $5 million can be saved!" Wu Hao said with a smile.
