Chapter 157 Remote Control Humanoid Mechanical Skeleton
On October 10, Wu Hao was resting at home when he suddenly received a call from Gu Fan.

"Wu Hao, I have contacted the fat man who makes the skeleton robot, when will he arrive in Pengcheng?" Gu Fan asked.

"The sooner the better, you confirm the itinerary with him, and I will ask Assistant Song to make a budget." Hearing this news, Wu Hao sat up straight from the sofa excitedly.

"Okay, I'll communicate with him now!"

At around 11:1 pm on November 7st, Wu Hao and Gu Fan held a sign to pick up the person at Pengcheng Airport. The other party was a young fat man named Smith, who arrived in Pengcheng after flying from Citigroup for 28 hours.

"Hello!" A 1.8 meter tall foreign strong man wearing a peaked cap appeared in front of the two of them and greeted them proactively.

The image of this foreigner is very different from that of the person in the video, and Wu Hao suspects that the other party has identified the wrong person.

"Hi, Smith, nice to meet you!" Gu Fan warmly hugged the other party and confirmed the other party's identity.

"This is Smith. He has fallen in love recently and is working out like crazy. He is no longer the fat guy in the video." Gu Fan explained to Wu Hao.

"Mr. Smith, welcome to Pengcheng!" Wu Hao also hugged the other party in accordance with international practice.

Since Smith arranged his schedule very tightly, the three of them returned to Haotian Technology immediately after dinner to discuss the bone robot.

When they came to the meeting room, the three of them sat down, and Smith spoke first: "Mr. Wu, I checked the information about Haotian Technology on the Internet. You are a company that develops smart home products. It has only been two years since your establishment. The scale of the company is not too big, why are you interested in humanoid robots?"

In the field of humanoid robots, most of the patented technologies are owned by foreign giants. To achieve technological breakthroughs, a lot of money must be spent. For a new high-tech enterprise, it will be very difficult to make achievements in this field. thing.

Obviously, this foreigner is questioning the strength of Haotian Technology.

Faced with doubts, Wu Hao replied with a smile: "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 what you mean by this sentence. Please explain, what is the difference between a humanoid robot and a humanoid mechanical skeleton?" Smith asked suspiciously.

Even Gu Fan cast a puzzled 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 is an intelligent solution integrating comprehensive recognition system, action management system, perception management system, AI intelligent judgment system, etc. , it is a kind of machine with self-judgment consciousness, the higher the degree of simulation, the more difficult it is to develop and the more money it will cost.”

Wu Hao first introduced what kind of existence he recognized the humanoid robot.

"Well, Mr. Wu, I agree with your explanation of humanoid robots. Although this explanation is not precise enough, it has already summarized most of the key points." Smith agrees with Wu Hao.

Wu Hao continued to explain: "As for the humanoid mechanical skeleton, it is a product that has not yet been developed. Its product concept is also brand new. The product that is more similar to it on the market is an exoskeleton robot. This set of mechanical skeleton The limbs can simulate all the movements of the human limbs, and the body is a self-stabilizer, which ensures that the mechanical skeleton can walk upright like a human, maintain 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 conclusion.

"Oh, I probably understand what you mean, Mr. Wu, look this way. Look at my arm and shadow. Is this the effect you want?" Smith waved his arm towards the light, and the faint shadow on the wall moved along with him. .

"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 was very satisfied with Smith's comprehension. It will be very easy and pleasant to cooperate with people who understand what they say.

"Mr. Wu, let me confirm again. What you need is a set of mechanical structural parts that can simulate the movements of human limbs, plus a body stabilization system. This set of equipment is driven by pure electric power, and it needs to be operated remotely through a remote communication system. , is my description correct?" Smith is a very rigorous person.

"Yes, this is what I want!" Wu Hao replied very positively.

"Mr. Wu, your needs are not 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, and in terms of cost, I estimate that each set should be controlled at about 100 million U.S. dollars." Smith said an astonishing price.

"100 million US dollars, this is too expensive!" The price shocked Gu Fan, and he couldn't help exclaiming.

"Mr. Gu, this price is very fair. They are all products with clearly marked prices. You can search for their prices on Guge. I am not deceiving you!" Smith said that he is an honest person.

"Mr. Smith, you have misunderstood. Gu Fan means that such a price cannot be produced in large quantities. We need to consider how to cut costs. Please explain the price of each part of the structural parts to see if there is room for compression. Wu Hao hurriedly explained for Gu Fan, and asked Smith to explain the composition of the price so that he could make a reasonable judgment.

"A set of mechanical skeleton is 10 US dollars, a set of motion stabilization mechanism and control software is 60 US dollars, a comprehensive power system is 10 US dollars, and a remote communication remote control system and remote control equipment is 20 US dollars. These are just estimates, and the price should vary. Float, but not too much difference," Smith explained.

"If we only purchase the patented technology of the motion stabilization mechanism and related control software, how much will it cost?" Wu Hao asked.

Mechanical bones and related control systems, integrated power control systems, remote control systems, and remote control simulators can all obtain free patent authorization from Huawei.

Only the motion stabilization mechanism and control software are implemented by Huawei using a dynamic stabilization algorithm, which needs to use computing power to dynamically adjust the robot's posture to maintain balance, and cannot cope with the balance problems caused by high-speed movement.

The action stabilization mechanism mentioned by Smith is realized by moving the counterweight to change the center of gravity of the machine. It has the advantages of simple structure, fast response, high reliability and low maintenance cost. The disadvantage is that the dead weight of the machine body is increased. It consumes more power.

As far as the current battery energy density is concerned, this is no longer a big problem. Moreover, after the mass production of the mechanical body, the battery can also be made into the shape of a counterweight, which can effectively reduce weight.

"Five million dollars should be able to buy it." 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 seeing off the guests, Wu Hao asked, "Gu Fan, I've given you a task. According to the principle of the movement stabilization mechanism, use batteries as counterweights to study a set of similar things. Can you do it?"

"There should be no problem!"

"In this case, even the 500 million dollars can be saved!" Wu Hao said with a smile.
