I have a little black hole

As reporters and lucky employees of the press conference continue to publish various work videos of home robots on the Internet, the topic has not only decreased because of the New Year, but has become more and more intense.

Many netizens only saw some scenes of robots working at press conferences. Later, they saw the application of robots in different scenes in various advertisements. They also saw promotional videos made by Universe Technology on the official website, but after all, they were Propaganda.

Advertising and actual effects are not the same thing. It often happens, even those who have placed orders are not without doubts. Now that I have seen so many video of robots working in real scenes, these pre-emptive People who arrive at orders start to chatter on the Internet and promote their wise magic everywhere, and the topic is so hot.

Of course, how can those companies that are also developing robots do not pay attention to such a big momentum? The domestic situation is better. After all, the technical level is there. It is not realistic to reach a technical level like Universe Technology Company at once. Without rushing, I would spend a lot of money to buy one from the lucky ones who had robots in advance and come back to study it. Anyway, if there are so many shipments in a few days, I want to buy as many as I want.

But those foreign companies don’t think so. Many big companies’ robot technology is also very advanced, especially large high-tech companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, Samsung, etc. have invested a lot of money in the field of robots. And energy.

There are many robot research projects like Google, and the most famous one is the "Atlas" robot.

"Atlas" is a humanoid robot with a height of nearly 1.5 meters and a weight of nearly 75 kilograms. It has a head, torso and limbs like a human. "Two eyes" are two stereo sensors.atlas was developed by Boston Dynamics, a Google company.Atlas' product iteration has probably gone through three major version updates.

In May 2018, Boston Dynamics demonstrated an upgraded version of the Atlas humanoid robot, which can already jump on one leg.

There are also companies like Amazon, the latest news that Amazon is planning a home robot Vesta, is expected to launch in recent years.

The news pointed out that the Vesta project actually started planning a few years ago, but only 18 years ago began to recruit talents.It is reported that the recruitment notices for dozens of positions including software engineer, robot engineer and sensor principle engineer are posted on Lab126 website.

The Vesta project is led by Gregg Zehr, the leader of the Amazon Lab126 hardware research and development department. Echo smart speakers, FireTV set-top boxes, Fire tablets and FirePhone phones are all from this department.

As for the configuration, it is presumed that the Vesta robot will be equipped with a high-definition camera, artificial intelligence technology, built-in Amazon Alexa, and can work with Amazon Echo.

In fact, Amazon has been deeply involved in the field of robots for many years.Among them, in March 2012, Amazon announced the acquisition of KivaSystem, a warehouse robot system, for 775 million US dollars in cash, and then added tens of thousands of robots to the logistics work, which increased Amazon's logistics efficiency by 2 to 4 times, and the accuracy rate reached 99.99%. And opened the monopoly of robot technology for many years.

Such a company is also ambitiously wanting to enter the humanoid robot market, and it is not far from the technological breakthrough.

There are also countries with advanced robotics, such as the Baga, Bangzi, and German countries, which are also developing various humanoid robots. Some national laboratories are even secretly developing military humanoid robots.

Although it is still in laboratory research and development, it is already at the world's leading level in terms of technology, so for a new company that suddenly emerges, it can actually put human-type home robots on the market on a large scale. These companies are not in a hurry. Strange!

Their humanoid robots under development are still far from being able to be put on the market on a large scale, but technology, as long as there are objects to imitate, is still very fast.

So time is very important for these companies, because other competitors will not delay the time, so those foreign journalists who bought household robots soon sold their robots to these companies, except for 30,000-50,000 In addition to the attractive price of US dollars, these companies also promised these reporters the opportunity to give them exclusive interviews or exclusive news, so no reporter can refuse such conditions.

These big companies pulled these robots into the laboratory as soon as they bought them, and various test projects started simultaneously. Everyone wants to know the various data of these robots in the shortest time, which is detailed data. , Not simple data published by Universe Technology.

"Incredible! How did they design such a perfect robot! It can actually allow a robot to achieve so many functions! Complete a variety of actions that we dare not think about!" A large experiment of Boston Dynamics, a Google-owned company In the room, an expert stared at several robots who were doing various household chores according to their instructions, marveling.

"It is indeed a shocking product! It is estimated that our "Atlas" robot will take at least 5 years to achieve this effect!

Everyone must pay more attention to observation. Although our own pride prevents us from imitating a product produced by Huaxia Company, it will bring us inspiration that we did not have before, which can make our future research work less. detour!

The importance of time, I believe I don’t say everyone knows!If we cannot take out our own products in the shortest time, after this robot completely occupies the market, our living space will be squeezed out!

What's more, other companies will do their best in this competition!The market is so big, if we can't give the company a satisfactory answer, then it is very difficult for our laboratory to get the company's funding, and everyone may also face the result of unemployment, so please you must work hard!

The company will give you the greatest support, you need equipment, equipment, capital and funds!The head office will also help, I hope everyone will work harder!"

The head of the laboratory, Rodison, seriously conveyed the company’s attitude to the experts in the laboratory. To be honest, as the head of the laboratory, the pressure now is also very large. Compared with the home robots of the universe technology company, They have fallen behind a lot, and the company's and head office's attention has doubled his pressure, not to mention so many competitors.
