It took a lot of time to build and integrate the team, but that was not important. When Lu Zixin saw the previous robot research team's work, he felt that the task was difficult.
First, there was the balance. In their previous work, the four-legged machines had difficulty maintaining balance. Although they could also "walk", Lu Zixin preferred to call it "crawl"!
That's right, when he saw a robot crawling on the ground, Lu Zixin felt like he was looking at a robot turtle. The balance was still lacking compared to the work of Boston Dynamics Robot Company.
Then there was the weight. Due to the old design of the power system, the machine's load capacity was not high. It could only carry light objects, so its practical value was low.
As for machine coordination, that was an even more difficult technical field. If they wanted the robot to not only walk, but also imitate human jumping, climbing, and other movements, they needed to incorporate every small part into the overall balance and stability system.
"Call Dongfang Hao and Zhang Yan over," Lu Zixin ordered. "We still have to rely on them for robot design."
RI-8901 was an industrial robot, and it had been upgraded. Lu Zixin asked it to take charge of designing a more convenient industrial robot, mainly for industrial production.
Dongfang Hao was in charge of construction and technical guidance, improving the design of the other robots.
Two or three days after this order was given, Lu Zixin received a complaint from Future City's Smart Robot Company.
"General Lu, it's not that we don't want to cooperate, it's that this little leader is too unreliable. He directly denied all of our designs and insulted us, saying that our designs are rubbish. "In the company, the researchers from the original military research team complained to Lu Zixin about Dongfang Hao.
"Dongfang Hao is not good with words … but in terms of mechanical design, his ideas are more advanced." Lu Zixin tried to smooth things over.
However, the researchers present did not appreciate it. A mechanical dynamics PhD said directly, "We can't accept his leadership."
Lu Zixin also found it difficult to order them around, because this company was developed in cooperation with the Department of Defense. These researchers originally belonged to the military, so they were very arrogant. Instead, when Dongfang Hao, an unrestrained and seemingly unreliable young man, was leading the team, they were even more unwilling. They strongly demanded that Dongfang Hao be replaced.
"How about this, I already understand the situation, I will coordinate." Lu Zixin said.
"I quit, I quit, a bunch of idiots, they don't listen to me at all!" At home, Dongfang Hao opened up his brain, took out a part, and put it in the fridge. He went on strike. "A bunch of idiots are making my parts burn, I quit, let them play by themselves!"
Lu Zixin said, "Dongfang Hao Dongfang Hao of 60 to 70 years old experts, you said that their design is rubbish, anyone would be angry. This isn't the first time this has happened. In the past, they didn't flare up because they're from the Red Trust Group. "
"Why should I be tactful? Autobots are never tactful!" Dongfang Hao said straightforwardly.
"Robot research still needs to continue … Since they're not willing, then let them make the parts." Lu Zixin didn't spoil the group of researchers. Since they didn't listen to their leader, then they should just do odd jobs and make some parts.
Lu Zixin's arrangement made the researchers even angrier. They thought that they were the ones who designed the robot, and it should be the people from Hongxin Group who cooperated with them in the research. Who would have thought that the Hongxin Group's team would completely ignore their design and develop the robot themselves, asking them to design and improve some unimportant parts?
Therefore, in a fit of anger, they applied for an independent project to develop their own research and development. They would only use Hongxin Group's AI system, and they would continue to design the rest.
Their research and development funds all came from the military's investment. Lu Zixin didn't mind as the company's leader directly approved. Just like that, two independent robot research teams appeared in the same company. It was very strange.
In the new robot research center in the Future City, two research teams had already started working.
The military team's code name was the "Iron Arm" Research Group, implying that robots would become the strong and powerful iron arms of mankind.
Hongxin's team's code name was the "Celestial" Research Group. Naturally, this code name was given by Dongfang Hao. He thought that his team was like the Celestial Gods, bestowing "life" to robots.
In the Iron Arm Research Group, the experts from the military had already started working in an orderly manner. Before this, they had already made some progress. Now, they were naturally constantly improving and overcoming difficulties.
"Although the previous incident with the team leader was very annoying, Hongxin Group's AI system and sensor equipment are really good. Some of the problems we encountered before were easily solved!" A senior researcher in the Iron Arm Research Group said.
"Yes, now I am more confident. We are using the AI system to correct the balance system and redesign the power system. In a few months, our robot will be redone. Its performance will definitely be three times better than now! "A colleague said confidently.
"At that time, they probably won't even be able to make a robot toy," someone said. He was naturally referring to the "Celestial" team. A group of people who had never made a robot actually wanted to command them. How ridiculous!
The "Celestial" team was also busy. The composition of the "Celestial" team was more complicated. There were people from Hongxin AI, Pengyun Machinery, Pengyun Battery, and Quantum Brain researchers.
Hongxin Group had invested more than 10 billion Chinese dollars in research and development over the past few years. They had indeed cultivated a group of reliable researchers. Moreover, because of Hongxin Group's high welfare and high technology, the top talents from all over the world flowed here.
As long as they had stayed in one of Hongxin Group's laboratories, they would definitely be top talents with high welfare when they returned to China.
"Is the power system's module out? We need to use it for simulation experiments!"
"It's out. Three versions, and two versions are still being modified!"
"Is the balance system adjusted?"
…
The research and development scene here was completely different from the other side. Although they had no foundation in robot design before, the research methods they used were very advanced and greatly increased efficiency — that was virtual simulation experiments.
Every team entered their own data into Red Xiaoxiao's AI system and used the AI simulation experiment system to conduct experiments. This way, any experiment could be completed in an instant and there was no need to waste time. Furthermore, Red Xiaoxiao could directly find the problem, which was equivalent to tens of thousands of top researchers working at the same time.
Here, they also used the latest technology of Hongxin Group, the 3D precision parts printer. The parts of the robot could also be directly manufactured through the 3D printer. If there was a suitable design plan, all the components of the robot could be directly printed out, and assembly would not be a problem.
