Technology: breaking the hegemony that monopolizes the world

"I didn't expect Ah Hao to upgrade you with so many functions. From a trash can to today's intelligent robot, you should only have one intelligence core left."

Facing this chubby roller robot, Gu Qing was filled with emotion.

Who would have imagined that the mentally handicapped sweeping robot would turn into a robot that is smarter than a smart housekeeper and has more sci-fi hardware after repeated transformations and upgrades?

"Hygienist Xiaohao is updating frequently, do you need to synchronize your information to the main server?"

Although Zhang Tianhao "brought this robot to the big one", the chip framework and the links of various external functions are all using the technology taught by Gu Qing, and the system protocol is also the general protocol of the Titan star department, so from the perspective of authority , Zhang Tianhao is really worse than Gu Qing.

And the title "Teacher Gu" is more because of Zhang Tianhao's respect for Gu Qing.

Although there is no apprenticeship ceremony like in ancient times, for many young people who came in at the beginning of the establishment of the Titan star department, in their eyes, Gu Qing is their teacher.

Facing the inquiry from the robot Xiaohao, Gu Qing nodded.

"Synchronize the information, and temporarily summarize all the robot project information in the department and give it to me.

Data processing does not need to hide the background. "

After hearing the instruction, the pixel-style expression on the OLED screen above the robot Xiaohao's head changed into a serious face contemplating work.

Three seconds later.

"Files ready to send to your Documents Center."

When Gu Qing heard this voice, a group of people who were still arguing fiercely in a certain room of the Titan R\u0026D base immediately stopped their movements. ;

"Why don't you let Mr. Gu come and experience it?"

Someone suggested something in a low voice, which was then agreed by everyone.

Because it is a common occurrence in this experimental base for Gu Qing to test the results.

When Gu Qing experienced these products, he could not only feel it from the perspective of consumers, but also give many good opinions from the vision and technical ability higher than that of R\u0026D personnel.

Therefore, many R\u0026D personnel have an understanding in their hearts, that is, as long as problems such as disputes and route contradictions are put in front of Mr. Gu, they will definitely get the optimal solution that can be achieved at this stage.

A few minutes passed.

When Zhang Tianhao surrounded Gu Qing with a group of engineers and R\u0026D personnel, he explained the problem very bluntly, except for a brief greeting.

As for the twitchy gesture, there is no such thing at all. Treating the teachers they recognize, this group of R\u0026D personnel is like elementary school students, and they will not be ashamed to ask questions.

"Let me experience and test your two projects of engineering robots and living robots?"

Gu Qing picked up the tablet that Zhang Tianhao handed over, and flipped through the reports of these two projects.

After the last large-scale integration of resources, the robot project is the project that has been rectified the most but also retains the most resources.

"Yes, Mr. Gu, because this is not only related to the life of our astronauts in outer space, but also related to the operation of our outer space base.

So everyone has a big difference on some projects. "

With his hands behind his back, Zhang Tianhao, with the appearance of a good student, reported the progress of the project and the links where there were disagreements.

"The first problem is getting robots to be able to reliably perform tasks as assistants to us ordinary humans.

Moravec's paradox states that it is extremely difficult for a computer to perform difficult cognitive tasks with relative ease, but it is extremely difficult to replicate the cognitive functions of a two-year-old child.

Although the AI ​​of our robot can also defeat Ke Quan, it is only in terms of calculation, and the complex range of data processing needs to be upgraded. Even a lot of data now relies on the feedback provided by hundreds of millions of smart home products around the world. optimization of information.

For example, in housework, cleaning, washing dishes, and cooking, in addition to setting up a whole set of actions in advance, there are also auxiliary programs that allow the robot to have enough correct response actions in the face of emergencies.

Dr. Zhang in the team believes that robots should rely on artificial intelligence and cloud communication for real-time interaction, but Academician Luo believes that our chips and AI have the potential to allow robots to complete data processing independently, and wants to place the focus of data computing on the robot's local body.

There is also the question of how to deal with the coexistence of robots and humans.

There is no doubt that when the robot matures and the cost of manufacturing and maintenance decreases, it will gradually crowd out jobs in industries that cannot compete with it. "

In Zhang Tianhao's narration, a situation was reflected.

That is, when Kyushu Technology's scientific and technological R\u0026D strength gradually leads the world, the resulting moral issues, social issues, and even economic issues and people's livelihood issues have become major issues that Kyushu Technology's R\u0026D team must face and solve.

Even broadly speaking, when robots are more useful than "most people", robots will definitely crowd out the jobs of many normal people, which will inevitably bring about piles of thorny problems.

Gu Qing looked at the report document, those manufactured robots learn from big data, and even through tens of millions of simulations, they can carry out basic cognition of ordinary objects in life.

He also knew why everyone in the laboratory was arguing over these issues.

Because it's really scary.

The robot, which was originally so clumsy that it would shake and shake when walking, has been upgraded again and again, and even a special product called smart housekeeper appeared. The latest robots can already adapt to the environment on their own initiative, and summarize reliable various tools and activity template assemblies based on truly massive data to help them complete various tasks.

You must know that in the Western technology circle, the most advanced Boston Dynamics robots can only demonstrate the body movements of walking, jumping, and backflips smoothly, but they know nothing about the surrounding environment outside of other program settings.

Not only can it not complete tasks independently, but even the instructions become dynamic instructions, and if it is a little more complicated, it will fall into a downtime.

Faced with these questions, Gu Qing did not give a definite answer.

He said seriously: "Although from the outside world, these problems we face are a bit ambitious. After all, the cost of manufacturing and maintenance of robots is higher than that of an ordinary natural person in the same period of time, but industrial products must be due to the quantity. production and began to reduce costs.

In the future, robots will surely enter the lives of the public from scientific research, military and other fields like computers and mobile phones.

This requires us to impose enough restrictions on it, and even strictly control our R\u0026D and production. We have a pilot model in Daxia, which has performed well in terms of economy and other aspects. In the future, we can also use the pilot model mode for trial and error.

But we need to be serious enough and work meticulously enough.

As for intelligent processing problems, we may not be able to solve too many problems in the short term, but when we can fully mobilize the performance of 5nm carbon-based chips and provide support through chip stacking and cloud at all times, we may be able to provide some living environments in the short term. Smart enough to serve. "

When Gu Qing said this, the cameras, notes, and recordings of everyone in the laboratory did not stop.

After the conversation, Gu Qing was also taken to an "experimental exhibition hall" that was built by the Titan Star Department at a cost of 9.865874 billion according to Xuanwu's statistics.

First of all, in the living area, there is a layout that is probably a suite with three bedrooms and one living room in an ordinary family.

"This is the experimental area of ​​the living robot. We have already sent your data information to the host in this room, using your name."

After Zhang Tianhao finished speaking, he retreated to the observation area with other nervous R\u0026D personnel.

They want to achieve zero interference to the experiment, and even the sound cannot pass through.

And when Gu Qing walked outside the door of the room, first of all, the handrail of the door was illuminated by a green streamlined light show.

But at this time, the door still didn't open, it just entered a state of preparation.

Gu Qing glanced at the security personnel beside him, and said, "Mark the three people behind me as friends, and give them permission to friends."

At the end, he also added a sentence.

"I'm safe now, I don't need to call the police, just open the door."

Because Gu Qing personally led this project and read the report just now, he is mentally prepared and knows some basic operations and running conditions.

Moreover, under his leadership, the smart home of Kyushu Technology does not have so many fixed operations. Many operations that want to be completed can be solved only by dialogue and questions.

After Gu Qing issued these orders, there was a sound of unlocking the door.

A light scent of jasmine came to the nostrils, making Gu Qing, who was tired from running around all this time, feel a little relaxed.

Then there was a chubby little bear, about one meter long, who walked up to Gu Qing and the others like a human.

"Sir, during your business trip, everything is fine at home. The ingredients for dinner have been prepared for you. Do you need to cook later by yourself, or rest on the sofa?

The wife and the little master are holding a parent-teacher meeting at school, do you need to notify them now? "

"There is no need to inform them. I want to rest for a while. Let's cook the meal. Remember to make it light and clean the fishbone."

As soon as Gu Qing finished speaking, Xiao Xiong immediately stepped forward to help Gu Qing take off his shoes and change them.

The three security personnel also saw that the shoe cabinet opened automatically, revealing three pairs of slippers inside, the size of which fit their feet very well.

Perhaps this is the difference between the owner and the friend, the little bear did not personally help the security personnel to change the slippers for the shoes.

Even after a very polite greeting, Little Bear seemed to ignore the three of them.

Putting on and taking off his shoes, Gu Qing went straight to the sofa in the living room, and lay down on the sofa as if returning to his own home.

I don't know how the material of the sofa is processed. It is very soft to lie down on, but it is very gentle but not vainly supporting the waist and limbs.

At this time, the sofa also made a sound.

A mechanical voice without sex appeal was softly ringing in Gu Qing's ear: "Sir, do you need massage service?"

Gu Qing didn't speak, but nodded. The whole person seems to be really tired.

However, the camera on the roof of the living room intelligently captured this momentary movement. After a slight vibration, Gu Qing felt that several mechanical arms started to work inside the sofa. The corresponding tool is applying pressure and pressing force of massage.

The lighting in the living room also became softer, so that Gu Qing, who was lying on his back, would not feel glare.

And Zhou Xin and the others finally seemed to be remembered by the housekeeper.

The little bear raised his fingers at the three of them in a very humane manner.

"Shh, sir is taking a rest. As a new friend of sir, I don't know any special needs of the distinguished guests for food. If possible, can you do a survey?"

It was also the first time for Zhou Xin to experience this kind of arrangement, but when he saw Gu Qing lying on the sofa enjoying with his eyes closed, he still chose to shake his head.

Then said: "We don't need you to prepare food."

"Then invite distinguished guests to come with me. In the entertainment room, there is the latest spiritual environment ecological mini-game. If you also need massage, drinks and other services, you can also tell me."

Although Xiao Xiong's reception was a bit blunt, his tone was very kind.

It's just that it's useless to Zhou Xin and the others. The security personnel only have their own mission goals in their eyes.

But Xiao Xiong continued persistently: "Then please invite the distinguished guests to sit down and rest. There is still room for the sofa, or there are wooden tables and chairs next to the small table in the living room, which are very suitable for—"

"No need, we can just stand here."

Zhou Xin's expression of "no strangers allowed in" made Xiaoxiong's face look awkward.

And amidst the embarrassment, this robot, which had always been very intelligent before, seemed to be unintelligent.

Not far away, Zhang Tianhao saw this situation, and hammered his right hand with his left hand.

"Oh! I forgot to set up a few more special scenarios for the treatment of other non-masters."

Dr. Zhang beside him, who has been emphasizing the need for robots to strengthen real-time data interaction in the cloud, said at this moment: "Look, robots are just machines after all, not humans, and there are many human beings who are not good at socializing. Worse than robots in many ways.

At this time, we can collect information in real time and upload it to the cloud to let our AI and staff update it as soon as possible, and synchronize it to the programs of other robots, so as to prevent other robots from having better results when they encounter this problem. solution. "

Facing the doctor's words, Academician Luo on the other side shook his head and said: "The feedback setting of this program is good, but at present this function will occupy a lot of chip computing space. Under the limited computing space, we should consider Yes localization is handled smart enough.

Otherwise, if users buy a robot that is updated 24 hours a day, which seriously wastes power and computing resources, the progress of housework will be dragged down, and it will only get a worse user experience. "
