Chapter 260: Chapter 192: Huge Explosion of Study Coins and Research Coins!_2

He continued to introduce with the microphone, "This robot is a joint research and development project between Star Billion Technology and Yanhua University’s Intelligent and Automation Laboratory. The robot is named ’Dongdong’, so we call it Robot Dongdong."

After finishing speaking, he shouted to the robot, "Dongdong, let’s do calisthenics together."

The robot immediately responded, "Command received!"

"Do calisthenics!"

Xu Chao put down the microphone, and his arms began to do stretching exercises. The robot’s movements were slightly slower than Xu Chao’s, but it also performed the same stretching exercises.

After doing a few stretching movements, Xu Chao began to change his movements, waving his arms randomly. The robot followed suit, and it could be seen that its movements were the same as Xu Chao’s.

This was motion simulation.

People in the crowd who understood the technology couldn’t help but gasp.

Ordinary people merely enjoyed the spectacle and marveled at the development of intelligence, while professional researchers could understand the technical content involved.

First, it was necessary to recognize the movements of the human arm, and dynamic recognition was essential. Secondly, motion simulation was needed to let the robot arm make the same movement, which also involved many complex technical principles.

Xu Chao performed for about half a minute, then issued a "pause" command, picked up the microphone, and looked around, asking, "Who wants to give it a try?"

Someone in the crowd immediately raised their hand.

Xu Chao chose the first person to raise their hand, a lively and lovely little girl who was about ten years old.

The little girl seemed shy when she realized Xu Chao had chosen her, and she glanced at her mother beside her. After her mother encouraged her a few words, the girl went to stand in Xu Chao’s position.

Xu Chao smiled and said, "Hello, what’s your name?"

"Hello, uncle, my name is Zhang Yifan." The girl showed a cute smile.

At the sound of "uncle," Xu Chao’s face darkened slightly. He stifled his frustration and said with a smile, "Yifan, hello. Just like uncle did just now, you can move your arms freely, do whatever you want, but don’t move your feet, okay?"

The girl named Yifan nodded vigorously.

Xu Chao gave the robot the command to "continue doing calisthenics."

Yifan immediately began to wave her arms. She was quite interesting. At first, she only did ordinary movements, but later, she seemed to find it amusing and put her arms behind her back.

The robot also followed suit, but its mechanical arm couldn’t fully bend backward, as its flexibility was obviously lacking compared to the girl’s.

Laughter came from the crowd.

Xu Chao quickly had Yifan stop, went to check on the robot, and found there was no problem before he let out a sigh of relief.

Oh...

Anything could happen during the test!

The first test was more or less completed here. The goal was simply to demonstrate the technology. He immediately announced the next test.

The second test involved placing more than a dozen small plastic balls on a table, with red, yellow, and blue colors. The robot had to go over and sort the balls according to color and put them in different bowls for each color.

The plastic balls were slightly larger than glass balls, which made things quite challenging.

The test involved color and location recognition and precise control of the robot arm. Precise control of the robot arm was not a major issue; precision tasks in some factories can be done much more precisely. But the difference in principle is still significant.

Robots rely on cameras to recognize objects and can control robotic arms anywhere, unlike machines that are fixed in place.

The robot had no problems recognizing the color, but it had problems grabbing the plastic balls. On average, it could only succeed once every two attempts.

Eventually, the robot completed the task, placing the different colored balls in separate bowls.

"Clap clap clap..."

Everyone applauded. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Qian Hong somehow ended up standing next to Zhao Yi. She knew about the robot but didn’t know that it could perform such intricate tasks.

She asked Zhao Yi in surprise, "Can the robotic arm be this flexible? Will this kind of robot be sold to the public in the future? The price must be very high, right?"

"Sell it to the public? Why?" Zhao Yi didn’t understand for a moment, "Do you want one?"

"I’m just asking." Qian Hong felt that having a robot like this by her side would be quite impressive.

Zhao Yi looked Qian Hong up and down, muttering quietly, "You’re not thinking of doing something strange, are you?"

"What strange thing? You’re talking weird." Qian Hong was baffled by his comment.

Zhao Yi thought of a TV show he had seen, where one of the main characters, an engineer, brought a robot arm home in one episode and began doing some strange things with it.

And then... the computer crashed!

It got stuck!

In the end, he had to go to the hospital, with the help of his friends, to fix the problem in an awkward and hilarious scene.

"If one day they make a robotic arm for sale to the public, they should definitely put a warning in the instructions: ’Do not use the robotic arm to do #%￥ things...’"

"This is very important because if there’s a problem, there may be legal consequences!"

...

The third test for the robot was shopping in a supermarket.

This main test turned out to be the smoothest of all.

There were regular shoppers in the supermarket, and when they saw a robot walking in and shopping, they became curious and joined the crowd following the robot.

As one robot walked in front, many people followed behind.

Even if there were people shopping inside, they would keep their distance from the robot and not get close to it. As a result, the robot’s stress response function became useless.
