The preparation for the robot test had reached its final stage, and every team member was taking it seriously, ensuring that no issues would arise during the test.

The test procedures had been set up by Qian Zhijin and Xu Chao, as they had more experience and knew how to attract attention.

Zhao Yi stayed in the lab for the entire day, with team members seeking his advice on various robot glitches they encountered along the way.

In the afternoon, the robot underwent two "test rehearsals" back-to-back without encountering any issues, but Qian Zhijin still sought his opinion on emergency solutions for any problems that might arise.

The solution mainly addressed hardware issues and involved preparing several backup components for quick replacement in case of problems.

Zhao Yi worked until 1 am, then found a small room to sleep in until the next morning.

At six o’clock.

The laboratory became lively again, with not only team members but also Liu Guangzuo arriving.

Liu Guangzuo also recognized the benefits of gaining a reputation and took the robot collaboration project very seriously. He was well aware of the advantages that a high-profile lab could bring.

The robot test was scheduled at a shopping mall about 500 meters away from Yanhua University, in an underground supermarket on the first floor, at about 3 pm.

The mall was scheduled for this time to accommodate both the test subjects’ schedules and the flow of shoppers.

At 3 pm, there would be relatively fewer people around.

If the test were conducted during peak hours when the supermarket was crowded with shoppers, it would be difficult for the robot test to proceed smoothly. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

At one-thirty in the afternoon, Xu Chao led the team to the underground supermarket and found a vacant corner to place the robot and hang a banner with detailed explanations.

The banner featured images and detailed descriptions of the robot’s capabilities, with Yanhua University and the Intelligent and Automation Laboratory written prominently, as well as Zhao Yi’s name at the bottom.

A large crowd gathered around the banner.

At the time, there were also some shoppers in the supermarket who joined the crowd, but because the test had not yet begun and the robot’s appearance wasn’t particularly eye-catching, most people lost interest after one glance.

So, those who closely examined the banner consisted mainly of interested technical staff, corporate representatives, and the like.

There were also journalists present.

Yanhua University carried some influence, and the Intelligent and Automation Laboratory was a provincial-level key lab. With Zhao Yi’s renowned reputation, several journalists were drawn to the event.

Most journalists came to cover and photograph new technologies and techniques being tested. Although they sounded impressive, they struggled to attract the general public, who may not be interested in new technologies which wouldn’t see widespread use in the short term.

After arriving, the journalists were captivated by the content on the banner.

The banner’s description of Dynamic Image Recognition and Mechanical Graphic Micro-manipulation didn’t interest them, but it clearly stated the robot’s first test was ... following people doing gymnastics?

What was going on?

Zhao Yi, Qian Zhijin, and Liu Guangzuo arrived a little later, at two-thirty. They immediately attracted attention and were instantly swarmed by journalists.

This was when the gap became apparent.

Although Liu Guangzuo had a significant reputation in the academic world, journalists preferred to interview Qian Zhijin, who was more accustomed to appearing in front of the camera than the behind-the-scenes Liu Guangzuo.

In comparison, Zhao Yi had a much larger disparity.

About three or four journalists surrounded Liu Guangzuo and Qian Zhijin, while the other dozen journalists and several cameras were all trained on Zhao Yi. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

This made Liu Guangzuo and Qian Zhijin feel somewhat disheartened.

In truth, Zhao Yi didn’t want to draw attention. At first, he found media coverage interesting, but as the frequency increased, he realized it was largely pointless, preferring a low-profile life for more comfort.

Of course.

Now, with the highly significant robot test taking place, Zhao Yi had to give interviews. Facing the cameras, he provided a detailed introduction to the robot’s functions, touching on many technical aspects in order to inform "potential clients" about the lab’s capabilities.

Liu Guangzuo and Qian Zhijin, being researchers at the lab, spoke more broadly and didn’t delve into specifics. Instead, they focused on the relationship between the robot’s technology and the lab.

For example, Qian Zhijin.

During his interview, Qian Zhijin’s main message was, "This robot represents the cutting-edge technology of the Intelligent and Automation Laboratory!"

This statement could be interpreted as ’the lab’s technology is embodied in the robot,’ ’the technology found in the robot is also available within the lab,’ or ’the lab plays a major role in robot research and development’ and so on.

Most people wouldn’t think, ’the technology in the robot is not available within the lab for the most part.’

Qian Zhijin’s goal was to tie the robot’s technology with the lab, showcasing the lab’s advanced capabilities.

After the interviews, it was almost time for the test.

Xu Chao placed the robot in a vacant area on the left side of the supermarket, which was quickly surrounded by a large crowd.

"Attention, everyone! The robot test is about to begin," said Xu Chao into a microphone, acting as an amateur host before turning the robot on and positioning himself three meters ahead of it.
