The video they showed was circulated on the Internet, causing a huge uproar.
In the video, Boston Power Robot Company mainly showed three types of robots. One was a robot dog, which was mainly used for mountain transportation, rescue, and daily life assistance for the disabled.
In the video, the robot dog's four legs could coordinate walking under the instructions of the smart chip. It could walk on flat roads, steep mountains, and even snow and ice without any obstacles. Not only that, this robot dog could also carry heavy objects, cross obstacles, open doors, jump, and other actions.
The second type was a sports robot. This robot completely simulated the shape of a human. It could walk and run like a human. Not only that, it could also complete a variety of difficult sports.
For example, in the video, this sports robot could perform horizontal bar flips, pole vaulting, shooting, and other sports like an athlete.
The third type was a mini office robot. This type of robot was no longer in a bionic form, but a complete machine. However, it could be applied to a variety of office scenarios and actions, such as making coffee, cleaning the floor or desk, printing, cutting, and so on.
In fact, Boston Power Robot Company had been researching these robots for many years, and they had always been at the forefront of the world. But this time, not only did they complete a more subtle improvement in power, but they also made amazing progress in intelligence.
They cooperated with Google, and Google provided them with intelligent services, so that these robots could "understand" human language and complete the oral instructions conveyed by humans. They also had a certain degree of judgment. They were no longer the previous dull power robots, but intelligent power robots!
Netizens were amazed when they saw the robot dog carrying heavy objects up the mountain, the robot doing gymnastics, and the office robot doing work.
Under the YouTube video, the comments of foreign netizens were all praising and proud.
"These robots are awesome! We are still at the forefront in the field of robots! "
"Awesome, these robots look just like real people!"
"God, they are more flexible than me!"
"Robots will definitely replace humans in the future!"
"When can they make robot girlfriends? My girlfriend is so annoying!"
…
In China, netizens' reactions were similar.
"I have a hunch that the first robot world war is about to begin!"
"I have to say, these robots are advanced!"
"I heard that Boston Power Robot Company has a background in the US military. What if they use robots in war?"
"Why doesn't Hongxin Group make robots? Their intelligence is stronger! Hongxin here! "
"What if the robot malfunctions?"
…
The impact of this incident was not as simple as just a little popularity on the Internet. Not long after the incident came out, the Huaxia Defense Science and Technology Department found Hongxin Group.
In a secret meeting room, Lu Zixin was discussing with several important personnel from the National Defense Science and Technology Department.
"Since Boston Dynamics was separated from MIT in 1992, it has been engaged in the research and development of military projects. It has received funding from DARPA to provide military robots and related technical consulting services to the Department of Defense, the Army, the Navy, and the Marine Corps. The most prominent feature of the product is the simulation of human behavior, mainly used in the field of national defense mission testing and extreme environment rescue. "
The personnel from the Department of Defense Science and Technology displayed some information on Boston Dynamics and said, "This company's main order comes from the US military. According to our information, they already have a mature product in military production. It seems that the US has also increased its focus on this project and is preparing to invest in research and manufacturing. "
"The field of robotics is another major technological territory in the arms race. In this regard, our science and technology department is also researching. At present, there is still a gap between us and the US. What we didn't expect was that their robot research has developed so quickly. Speaking of which, it has something to do with Hongxin Group. "
Lu Zixin quickly said, "We don't have any cooperation with them!"
"Of course we know that, you misunderstood," said the personnel from the Department of Defense Science and Technology. "We are referring to the issue of technology promotion in related fields."
"Before this, there were two important factors that restricted the development of powered robots. One was the issue of power endurance. Before this, their powered robots consumed a lot of energy and had a short endurance, so the US military didn't pay much attention to them. Until Hongxin Group's new battery technology appeared, they solved this problem with a new battery with a large storage capacity. "
"The second is machine intelligence. In the past few years, the artificial intelligence technology company led by Hongxin Group has developed rapidly, and robot intelligence has been greatly improved. The cooperation between Boston Dynamics and Google has allowed robot intelligence to leap at least ten years! All these factors combined have contributed to the development of their robot technology. "
Lu Zixin smiled bitterly and said, "This can only be said to be a coincidence. After all, the emergence of every new technology may affect various industries."
"Yes, it's just a joke. The main purpose of our visit this time is to cooperate, "said the personnel from the Department of Defense Science and Technology.
"In the field of robots?" Lu Zixin had already guessed most of it.
"That's right." The personnel from the Department of Defense Science and Technology continued, "In the field of robot power, we already have a certain research foundation. It seems that Hongxin Group also has its own technical strength in this field. Most importantly, in the field of robot intelligence, I have to admit that your strength is the best in the world. "
"So we hope to cooperate with Hongxin Group to jointly develop a new generation of intelligent robots."
…
There were many details of the discussion, all of which were confidential and were not to be known to outsiders.
In the end, the two sides reached a cooperation agreement. The Department of Defense Science and Technology would form an independent team from one of its robot research departments, and Hongxin Group would also form an artificial intelligence and mechanical power system team from one of its subsidiaries. The two teams would work together to form a new company jointly controlled by the military and Hongxin.
This new company would be mainly engaged in the development and manufacturing of intelligent robots, focusing on civilian, industrial, and military applications.
The headquarters of this new company would also be set up in the City of the Future.
To the public, this company would not directly use the name of Hongxin Group, but "City of the Future Intelligent Robot Technology Co., Ltd." Neither the military nor Hongxin Group made a public announcement, so there was no news on the news. Almost no one knew that in the City of the Future, an intelligent robot manufacturing company was established!
