You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Chapter 84 Are you sure this is not a trolley?

The history of robots dates back a long time, more than 100 years ago, but it was not until the 80s that robots began to officially enter the research arena and became widely known.

Not to mention the robots in movies and TV series, they are all fictitious and need no reference.

Zhao Mo's impression of robots originated from the bipedal humanoid robot developed by Boston Dynamics that was circulated on the Internet.These are videos of him pushing and kicking without falling down, jumping over obstacles, and after upgrading, holding a gun and shooting at targets without hurting anyone.

When he saw it for the first time, Zhao Mo was shocked. He didn't expect that robots would develop to such an extent. Then he had an inexplicable fear of robots, worried that they would really control humans like the robots in "The Matrix".

It was not until later that Boston Dynamics was sold back and forth and the robot upgrade speed was too slow. Zhao Mo gradually realized that this robot was far from the robots in movies and TV series and was still in the basic stage.

After the epidemic, Zhao Mo fell completely silent when he saw the bipedal humanoid robots launched by the grain factory and Master Ma's open source company.

That's it?

That's it?

That's it?

Zhao Mo said, it hurts my eyes, refund my data fee!

Of course, it must be admitted that the development of robots in the post-epidemic period has indeed become more colorful and increasingly intelligent.For example, robot dogs are really almost like dogs.

So, when Zhao Mo thought that the national robot competition that Gu Rong and the others were participating in would use the robots and robot dogs he had in mind, he saw the schematic diagram Gu Rong showed him and heard Gu Rong's introduction, and then he was speechless. , the CPU in my brain almost emitted black smoke.

"...This is a manual robot. According to the rules, the manual robot can only move around the periphery. Then it picks up these round blocks and puts them on the pillars on the periphery of this area. Each one gets 1 point, but if it is put up again by other teams, If you get a round piece, the 1 point will be reset to zero.

The automatic robot can only move in this area. It can put the round blocks on the pillars in the middle circle, and it will get 2 points. Similarly, if another round block is put on the top by another team, the 2 points will be reset to zero.For these four pillars in the middle area, if you cover a circle, you will get 3 points. If you cover three pillars in a row to form a compass shape, you will win the game directly..."

Gu Rong drew the competition venue on the paper and explained the rules of the competition.

Then, she also drew automatic robots and manual robots.

Zhao Mo looked around and saw two trolleys!

Base + two vertical poles, with a gripper attached to the vertical pole, a fixed grip for grabbing round blocks.For the sake of image, Gu Rong also drew some lines to serve as wires, and added some motors and boards on them.

What is it if it's not a trolley?
"have you understood?"

After finishing speaking, Gu Rong asked him and Yang Chan.

Yang Chan pointed to the competition area and said: "Look at it this way, in addition to having good performance, the robot also needs to know how to formulate tactics. If others cause damage, the score advantage in the early stage will drop later."

Gu Rong's eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "That's right."

Then, she looked at Zhao Mo and asked, "Zhao Shen, what do you think?"

Zhao Mo hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the robot she drew and said, "Are you sure this is a robot and not a trolley?"

Gu Rong: "..."

Yang Chan was speechless for a while. She turned around and saw Gu Rong looking at Zhao Mo with wide eyes. She couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha... the trolley..."

This smile was so breathless that he couldn't straighten his waist and fell directly on Zhao Mo's shoulder.

"What's so funny? Stop laughing!"

Gu Rong was furious and glared at Zhao Mo fiercely: "We are an intelligent robot that can move on its own, okay? Do you appreciate it? What kind of trolley does your trolley look like? Can it move on its own?"

Zhao Mo coughed, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Okay, okay, it's an intelligent robot. I made a mistake. Now, what do you need me to do?"

Gu Rong calmed down a little, and then said: "Nothing is needed for the time being. It is still in the design stage. I have an alternative plan for you to let you know about first. In case our team can't figure it out, I also have one." A backup plan."

Zhao Mo's mouth moved slightly: "So I'm the spare tire."

Gu Rong was startled, then understood what he meant, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Isn't this good? You have to think like this, the most important thing is to appear in the finale, and if something goes wrong, I will come to you again, which means that you are important ah."

Good guy, you know PUA.

Zhao Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard it, but he didn't say anything else. He nodded and said, "I understand."

Gu Rong gave him some more information and then left.

After Zhao Mo took the information, he started to look through it. In addition to some matters related to this competition, there were also some preliminary design plans from Gu Rong's team.

LV8's wisdom is also very smooth for him to understand the unexpected knowledge of mathematics.

Although there is a slight gap in basics compared to Gu Rong and other computer majors, it is actually not much.After careful reading and careful speculation, Zhao Mo gradually understood and mastered the design ideas of Gu Rong's team, and then discovered some big problems.

"Is it too much to think about?"

He thought to himself.

Whether it is a manual robot or an automatic robot, at first glance it does look similar to a trolley, and it cannot be called a "robot" at all.But after getting deeper, you will find that this is actually a robot, although it can only be said to be half.Let’s talk about automatic robots. Recognition, processing, feedback, execution and other actions are all necessary and main requirements for artificial intelligence robots.

However, Gu Rong's team thought too much in their design. They took into account the peripheral manual robots, the inner automatic robots, and the possible parts of competitors. The plan they made was very complex and bloated, and the difficulty of production was extraordinary. Big.Seeing that he was reading the information, Yang Chan said casually: "You just talked about the trolley. I think Gu Rong was really angry. Do you think their robots are bad?"

"It's just a bit different. The robot I imagined was a bipedal humanoid, not this kind."

Zhao Mo replied casually, then closed the document and handed it to her.

Yang Chan subconsciously took it, but soon looked at him with a surprised look on her face and said, "Have you finished reading it?"

Zhao Mo nodded: "Yes."

"Okay~"

Yang Chan was speechless and couldn't help but said: "You are more powerful than before."

Zhao Mo explained: "Maybe it's because I'm a year older and my wisdom is also growing~"

What he said was considered the truth, and his wisdom had indeed increased.

As for Yang Chan, she didn't think there was any problem after hearing this. Wisdom will indeed increase.The ancients said that reading makes people wise. This shows that Zhao Mo has increased his wisdom through learning. It shows that Zhao Mo is really serious and efficient in reading, and he has gained something after his hard work.

Yang Chan nodded and then asked: "Bipedal humanoid robot? It's still early for this kind of robot. I don't think any country in the world can build this kind of robot."

Zhao Mo shook his head and said: "As far as I know, Boston Dynamics over America is already building it, and it should be out soon~"

In my memory, Boston Dynamics' bipedal humanoid robot that can resist and fight was probably launched in the past two years. I don't remember the specific time, but he was also in college at the time, and it was hotly discussed for a while.

Yang Chan was doubtful after hearing this: "Is it true or false?"

However, Zhao Mo never told lies, so she immediately sighed and said: "If it is true, then the gap between us and each other is too big."

"Don't think about these things, just do the things in front of you first."

Zhao Mo smiled and said.

"Ah."

Yang Chan nodded and began to look through the information.

Zhao Mo started thinking about mathematical modeling.

Mathematical modeling competitions use mathematics to solve practical problems, and the same goes for robotics competitions.After carefully looking through it, Zhao Mo knew that the design of the two robots, especially the automatic robot part, involved such a complex process as machine identification, information processing, obstacle avoidance, round block grabbing, alignment, and release. There are still many things that need to be calculated, and a set of excellent algorithms must be established to do it.

In addition, due to the limitation of the computing power of current chips, the design of this algorithm and robot cannot be too advanced, otherwise the chip will not support it and it will be useless in the end.

As a result, there are more aspects to consider, and the optimal solution must be made, which not only involves theoretical design, but also involves hardware design, engineering control, etc.

“It’s still a bit challenging~”

Zhao Mo thought to himself, and quickly decided to link the mathematical modeling competition and the robot competition. Firstly, it would indeed solve practical problems, and secondly, it would save some trouble.

He ignored the other members of the Mathematical Modeling Competition for the time being.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.

Like the robotics competition and other college competitions, Wudaokou has always had no outstanding performance in the mathematical modeling competition. It can even be said to be very hip, worse than the Yan University next door.

Time flies and it’s March.

During this period, Gu Rong never came to see him, and Zhao Mo didn't bother to ask. He was a spare tire anyway and only focused on his own research.Yang Chan came over to report the good news. The program she designed was highly praised by Professor Deng Hui, who said that she was very confident of entering the final list.

In addition, Zhou Zuojian arrested Zhao Mo and told him some "bad" news, saying that the Sloan Research Award had been awarded to a Ph.D. in materials science from the Chinese Academy of Sciences named Xu Wei, who was now working on tokamak. It was Xu Wei's mentor who told him when he had dinner with him that he had gone to build the sun.

Zhao Mo understood as soon as he heard this, wasn't this just a loss of face and it was hard to say anything?So he said: "The fun is yet to come."

Zhou Zuojianquan took it as a word of comfort, and then told him about applying for the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Prize.

"Can I?"

Zhao Mo felt pleasantly surprised and asked quickly.

Zhou Zuojian couldn't help but smile: "I think it's no problem, you are fully qualified."

Sure enough, it was the things given by him that made him value it more.

Zhao Mo heard this with a smile on his face.
