Chapter 173 Measured Humanoid Skeleton Machinery

On March 5, 2025, in Gu Fan's studio, a humanoid skeletal machine with a mobile stabilizing mechanism appeared in front of Wu Hao.

In a set of high-end immersive virtual 3D simulators, Gu Fan controlled the humanoid bone machinery to perform various actions through the 5G network, such as running, jumping, squatting, straddling, etc., and tried all of them once. The humanoid bone machinery movements look like It's a bit like a human movement.

Throughout the test, the humanoid bones have mechanical movements smoothly. Although they fell twice, they were all problems that occurred when the limbs did large-scale exercises. Normal people would easily fall under such strenuous exercises.

After the test, Gu Fan took off his gear and walked off the simulator.

"How do you feel?...satisfied?" Gu Fan asked when Wu Hao was on the scene.

Wu Hao smiled and said, "As far as mobility is concerned, I think it can be practical. After all, strenuous exercise is not required in many occasions. If you can do things smoothly, you can perform tasks."

Obviously, this humanoid bone machine made him feel satisfied.

"Next, we should create some specific usage scenarios, conduct targeted tests, improve various special-purpose robotic arms, and then see the timing before launching them to the market." Gu Fan said what he was going to do, and was also asking Wu Hao. , Is this arrangement reasonable?

Wu Hao thought for a moment and asked, "How many kinds of robotic arms have been developed now?"

"The six types, fitter arm, welder arm, driller arm, spray gun arm, intelligent multifunctional arm, and mechanical grip arm are all designed according to actual use. Make improvements if there are deficiencies."

"Can I try the smart multifunctional arm?" Wu Hao wanted to experience it.

"Yes, this intelligent multifunctional arm is a patented product authorized by Huawei. It has high maturity. The disadvantage is that the main control computer requires high configuration. Now that the main control cloud technology is used, it is truly practical." Gu Fan said about R&D. Some little stories behind it.

Gu Fan asked people to replace the left and right arms of the humanoid skeletal machinery with smart multi-functional arms. When they were ready, Wu Hao boarded the simulator and began to experience this high-end smart arm.

In the simulator, Wu Hao can observe the surrounding situation through the two cameras on the head of the humanoid skeleton, and the field of view is similar to that of a normal person.

He opened his palms first, then bent his fingers one by one, then shrank into a fist, waved a few times, then grabbed a nearby cup with his arm, dragged the chair, even squatted down, picking up the pebbles in the flowerpot, the whole process The intelligent multifunctional robotic arm has timely response, smooth and precise movements, and it feels like a human arm.

"Huawei's smart multifunctional arm is very smooth to use. It is worthy of praise. It is still very valuable to spend a lot of money to license this technology."

The humanoid skeleton machine is equipped with a speaker and a sound collection system on the head, and Wu Hao can communicate with Gu Fan through these devices.

"They have applied this product to many professional fields. Now many county-level hospitals are equipped with this kind of manipulator, which allows doctors in large hospitals to perform precise operations through remote operations. This is an amazing technology!" Gu Fan exclaimed.

"How much does this pair of arms cost?" Wu Hao is concerned about the difficulty of future promotion. If the price is high, the number of people who can afford it will be very limited.

"A pair of 2 million is already the best price. This is the price of the master control," Gu Fan replied.

"..."

This price cannot be used by ordinary people and can only be used in special areas with high value.

"How much does the regular version of the mechanical grip arm cost?"

"About 100,000. If the shipment volume can increase after mass production, it should be able to drop. However, this version of the arm can only perform a simple grasping function, and the hand feel is relatively poor."

"You help me put on an ordinary mechanical grip arm to try." Wu Hao wanted a simple version of the physical examination.

The smart multifunctional arms on both sides were removed and replaced with mechanical grip arms. This kind of arm has a simple structure and a single function.

Wu Hao tried opening his hand, making a fist, and pointing his finger up, and found that the control was a little slow. He tried to hold a hammer with this mechanical arm. It succeeded the first time, and he held it firmly, and then went to hold the tabletop. As a result, the cup was directly squeezed into a paper ball.

"The experience of this arm is really worse, but it should be barely enough for some hard work." Wu Hao gave a trial evaluation.

"It depends on the application scenario. In some places where the environment is very harsh, many operations don't actually need to be very precise. At least this arm is very cheap and easy to promote." Gu Fan also thinks so.

Wu Hao made some more moves, even imitating basketball and shooting. As a result, his body was a little unstable on the ground and almost fell.

"Flexibility is okay, the stability is still a bit worse, and we need to continue to work hard." Wu Hao was a little disappointed, but being able to reach this level in a short time has greatly exceeded his expectations.

"We really need to do more tests, and after completing the laboratory tests, we still need to take this set of humanoid bone machinery outdoors to try it out. It's still far from mass production." Gu Fan felt that it was too early to make a conclusion at this time.

After the experience, Wu Hao took off his equipment, came out of the simulator, circled around the humanoid skeleton machine a few times, and asked, "Gu Fan, how much does the whole set of equipment cost if you use a mechanical grip to close your arm?"

"It is nearly 500,000. The cost after mass production depends on the size of the batch. The final cost is controlled at about 400,000. It should be possible." Gu Fan gave his own estimate.

"It's one-tenth of Smith's estimate. It's very successful!" Wu Hao said with emotion. He originally thought it would be more expensive.

"Calculated according to the current exchange rate, it should be exactly one-fifteenth." Gu Fan reported accurate data.

"Well, anyway, we have made a very cheap, maneuverable humanoid mechanical skeleton. The most important thing is that it uses cloud master control technology, which is easy to upgrade and maintain. In the future, at the right time, it will definitely be able to control it. Dominate the market." Wu Hao is confident.

"I'm curious, where your self-confidence comes from, the human body is more flexible than it, and the cost of use is not necessarily higher. It is obviously unrealistic to let it replace ordinary people. It does not have any intelligent self-control ability, and it is more like A puppet, a puppet that can only be used by relying on a 5G network." Gu Fan was puzzled.

"Gu Fan, be patient. Some things need time to prove their value. The humanoid mechanical skeleton you are developing is such a product. I can only say that its era has not come, but it is not far away."

Wu Hao has the memory of the future. He knows that at some point in the future, this kind of humanoid mechanical skeleton will become popular. At this time, all they have to do is to prepare things in advance.
