Plane Honest Merchant

"...In order to obtain the information of the surrounding environment, football robots usually use panoramic vision sensors, and use optical mirror systems to expand the panoramic composition of the sensors. As you can see, the Russian team's visual response is very sensitive, because they have strengthened the color recognition algorithm ..."

For Su Zhuo, apart from the championship trophy, the most important thing to participate in the Asia-Pacific College Student Robot Contest is that he can learn a lot of knowledge.

The judges on the stage are doing technical explanations. Although Su Zhuo has known these technologies for a long time, everyone has a different understanding and emphasis on robot technology, and the judges' explanations have also benefited Su Zhuo a lot.

Today's game is drawing to a close. In the final semifinals, other teams that have withdrawn from the game can freely choose their opponents to compete.The entire arena was bustling with activity. Young people from various national teams walked around, met friends, and exchanged knowledge. Only Su Zhuo was sitting in the corner, holding a notebook and making notes on the big screen.

"Su Zhuo, stop watching, our game is about to start!"

I don't know when, the match with the Singapore team is over, and only the final game is left.This time the opponent is the Japanese team. Even if they are students, the Japanese team's technology is indeed more advanced than other universities, and it is the home court.

"Oh." At this moment, only the intelligence of the robot is seen, and the technicians are no longer able to help, and there is no rush.Su Zhuo was still holding the notebook, and Xiang Feiyu, Fang Fang, and the three were sitting beside the arena as participating players.

After the game started, the judges continued to make technical explanations on the football robots of the two teams. Su Zhuo took a pen and recorded the technical characteristics of the Japanese team in the explanation.

"We have distorted the panoramic vision image, ingesting 40 frames of image data per second, visual sensing scanning 360-degree positioning, and the response accuracy is 100%. No matter how you record it, it is impossible to beat us."

Probably because he couldn't see Su Zhuo's relaxed attitude, a Japanese team member sitting opposite Su Zhuo said suddenly.Su Zhuo raised his head and looked at him, and closed his notebook: "We use six visual subsystems, running at a rate of 50 frames per second, the ground contact instantaneous response is 0.1 seconds, and the micro-control is an artificial neural network. We will win."

Both parties spoke English, and conversation was not difficult.The opponent frowned at Su Zhuo's answer, and turned back to the arena with a cold snort. "Six visual subsystems are used, hum, outdated."

Usually only 4 sight subsystems can be installed, and the ingestion is 20-30 frames of images per second. Some countries also use higher-level subsystems, and only 2 installations are equivalent to the ordinary 4 subsystems.But China's own visual subsystems are not very advanced, let alone buy advanced subsystems.In order to enhance the information response speed of the robot, Su Zhuo added two additional vision subsystems and wrote a special interpretation program, so that the football robot can successfully use the six vision subsystems.

Although the program is more complicated, the information reading response and intelligent calculation function are much higher than the football robot of the Japanese team. In the final result of the game, the Chinese team won.

There is no trophy or extra points for winning, but the title of No.1 is also an honor. The whole team is very excited. Professor Zhao, who leads the team from the Chinese Competition Committee, specially invited everyone to eat authentic sushi to celebrate.

Since then, Su Zhuo has become famous in the first battle. When he returned to the hotel, suddenly many people greeted him in English and asked him for his mailbox information.A person like Su Zhuo who is not good at words has exchanged phone numbers and mailboxes with representatives of several national teams in just ten minutes.

The next day's competition was a dancing robot competition.Dancing robots are no longer a competition, because the dance performances of each national team are different, and everyone's perception is also different, so there is really no praise.Therefore, it is only used as a show to stir up the atmosphere, and it will be performed at the booths of each representative team for the audience who come to visit.

Ordinary people are not very interested in the robot competition, but when it comes to watching robots dance, many people are interested, so the second day ushered in a peak flow of people on the field.There were crowds of people in front of the booths of the national teams.There are many overseas Chinese in Japan, and many of them took photos with the ROBOCON preparation team.As the captain, the good-looking Su Zhuo naturally couldn't escape, and Qi Huarui and Luo Yi took a lot of photos together.

On the third day and the fourth day, the competitions or exhibitions of rescue fire-fighting robots and home simulation robots ended one by one.On the fifth day, the final of the theme "My Robot Partner" officially started.

In fact, by this time, there is no need to keep secret what robots each country uses to participate in the competition.Anyway, I can see it tomorrow, and knowing it in advance will not change anything, but it will generate expectations.For example, the Japanese team, since Japan's "HRP-4" artificial beauty robot danced brilliantly at an exhibition in the early years, robot companies from various countries have been devoting themselves to developing dancing robots in recent years.The robot of the Japanese team this year is a simulated dancing robot. The Japanese team does not hide this fact, and is even proud of it.

During the dinner at the restaurant, the captain of the Japanese team proudly mentioned the simulated dancing robot, and gave Su Zhuo a sideways look from the corner of his eye.Su Zhuo buried his head in his meal without feeling anything.

In order to test the performance, the tiger robot has been restarted yesterday. The ROBOCON preparation team was required to keep it absolutely confidential, and even the Hong Kong team members of the friendly team refused to say anything.

In the morning, Su Zhuo woke up early. After washing, he and his team members checked the tiger robot again. After confirming that there was no problem, he ordered it to enter the sealed box to stand by.Under the orders of several professors, four staff members assigned by the competition committee carefully carried the sealed box into the competition area.This is true for every participating team, all robots must be closed before the official competition.

Seeing the tiger robot being put into a sealed box and escorted away by Professor Zhang and others, Su Zhuo was about to go downstairs for breakfast when he suddenly received a call from Wang Qin.It turned out that they had arrived in Tokyo and were waiting for him outside the hotel.

Su Zhuo went downstairs and saw a commercial vehicle parked outside the hotel.After getting in the car, it was not Wang Qin who greeted him, but No. [-] hugged him enthusiastically, almost knocking Su Zhuo against the door.

"Master is too much, how can you abandon No. [-], woo hoo hoo." Even so, No. [-]'s voice was flat electronic, and even the crying was very flat, and he couldn't hear his sadness.

But Su Zhuo patted his round head and said, "No.[-], let me get up."

"This guy kept making trouble the second day after you left, so I had to bring him here." Shi Yue said.

"Let him follow you." Yan Shaojin patted No. [-]: "He still has work tomorrow, so we can't let him make trouble anymore."

"But No. [-]'s intelligence is too high..." The tiger robot is the trump card of the ROBOCON team, but compared with No. [-]'s intelligence, the non-talking tiger is not very conspicuous.Su Zhuo wants to rely on the tiger robot to become a blockbuster. If people see Yihao first, the effect will not be achieved.only……

Su Zhuo looked at No. [-] who was holding his arm, with red eyes shining.Although he knew that No. [-]'s reaction was just an intelligent simulation system, he was reluctant to ignore it.

"No.[-], you can follow me. But you must promise that you must never speak or move around. You are only allowed to follow me, and you are not allowed to do anything else."

Number One raised his hand: "Yes, obey!"

He didn't ask about the work of No. [-] tomorrow. In Su Zhuo's mind, probably No. [-] will be the company's new product display tomorrow.After bidding farewell to the three friends, Su Zhuo got out of the car and walked into the hotel, waiting to gather with the team members on the first floor.The three of Wang and Qin will enter the venue to watch the game later as spectators.

While Su Zhuo was waiting on the first floor, the teams from other countries also went downstairs one after another.Seeing the cylindrical robot at Su Zhuo's feet, several people who knew Su Zhuo came up and asked in English, "Su, is this your competition robot?"

"No, this is my personal robot." Su Zhuo introduced to his friends: "His name is No. [-], and I will introduce you to each other after the competition." After the competition, it doesn't matter how eye-catching No. [-] is.

Those few people were only Su Zhuo's polite way, and now the simulation robot is popular, and the cylindrical robot with this appearance has long been outdated.

After gathering with the team members on the first floor, Su Zhuo counted the number of people and led everyone into the venue. Everyone in the ROBOCON preparation team knew No. [-]. No. [-] was almost dismantled by the professor in the laboratory, but everyone stopped him. Therefore, they had a good relationship with No. [-] and greeted him happily.

But No. [-] didn't respond to a word, and followed Su Zhuo obediently, looking like an ordinary remote-controlled robot.

"Ha, is this your participating robot?"

As soon as I entered the venue, I met the Korean team.Forget about the Japanese team, after all, they used to be rivals, Su Zhuo didn't understand why the Korean team was so hostile to them.Nodding was a greeting, ignoring their provocation and leaving.The sealed boxes have been sent to the competition areas of each team, and the scenes still need to be decorated by each team, so there is no need to waste time with them.

Although the people in the ROBOCON team were very upset, the tiger robot was more important, and they followed Su Zhuo one by one.

Although the Chinese representative team performed well in the competition these days, the cylindrical No. [-] still lowered everyone's impression points.This can’t be blamed on No. [-]. China’s learning and technology have grown rapidly, but it has to be said that innovation is terrible.Usually, China imitates whatever is popular in the technology world.For example, when dancing robots are popular, China makes dancing robots; when soccer robots are popular, China makes soccer robots.At the technical level, it may be outstanding and perform well, but it is basically a follow-up work, with little innovation.

The impression that No. [-] brings to everyone is, ah, although the Chinese people are highly skilled, if they make their own robots, that’s probably the way it is!
