He moved 10 cardboard boxes into the house.
Chen Jin took a paper knife, cut the tape, and opened one of the cardboard boxes.
The item inside was revealed.
A robot that was about half a meter tall and had a cute appearance.
Wa-wah, a cleaning robot.
Not bad.
The task that Chen Jin had assigned to Ling Feng Jing Mi Company was to produce the first batch of mass-produced "Wa-wah" cleaning robots after three shifts of overtime. Before the final deadline, they had successfully completed the production task of 1,000 units.
Then, 10 of them were sent to Chen Jin by express delivery.
He opened the packaging, picked up the robot, and carefully observed it from head to toe.
Chen Jin nodded.
The workmanship was smooth and exquisite, and the hand felt smooth and delicate. Every detail was meticulously polished, like a perfect work of art.
"Wang Quan Long said that he worked in a large international OEM company for more than 10 years. It seems that he did not work for nothing. At least in terms of workmanship and quality control, he learned a lot."
Therefore, he did not have to worry about the quality of the product.
In terms of appearance, it had a round head, two small antennas by its ears, and big round eyes. It really looked like a doll.
Cute, cute, and cartoonish.
This was everyone's first impression of it.
As for its function, it could only be seen by sweeping the floor.
Chen Jin did not intend to try it out in his room. Instead, he picked up the robot and brought it upstairs to room 402.
…
"Son, is this really made by your company?"
He Li's mouth was wide open. She looked at the robot working on the floor, her face full of surprise.
"Of course."
Chen Jin nodded with his arms crossed. His chin was slightly raised, and he said proudly.
"Amazing, my son is amazing!"
He Li was so happy that she almost jumped up. She hugged Chen Jin in her arms and said excitedly, "My son has grown up. My son can do things now!
That's great, that's really great! "
Her face was full of relief, and the corners of her eyes were filled with tears.
For so many years, she had been worried about this and that. She had indeed worried that she would spoil her son too much, and that he would not be able to achieve anything in the future. He would not be able to be independent, and the responsibility would all be on her head.
But now, she could finally relax and breathe a sigh of relief. She even wanted to find a place to cry her heart out! Cry happily!
Because her son was really useful. He could really do things now!
In the future, her son might not stand out and achieve great success in his career, but at least she didn't have to worry too much.
How pitiful parents are!
Noticing the tears in the corners of his mother's eyes, Chen Jin pulled out two tissues and wiped them away. Why are you crying? "
"It's okay. Mom is happy, happy!"
He Hi turned around and started sobbing. She was really too happy today.
Standing at the side, Dad, who had been observing the work of the robot, frowned slightly.
After thinking about it, he said, "Son, your robot sweeping the floor is not bad. At least, it's not worse than ordinary robots, but …"
"You said it's the first time. This robot has to clean the floor more than ten times to get the best reference."
"Ten times? This will take at least five to six hours, including charging and changing the brush. Eight to nine hours might not even be enough. Isn't it too inconvenient to use it like this? "
"It's so troublesome to use. Can the users accept it?"
Facing his father's question.
Chen Jin explained, "It's just that it's a little troublesome for the first time. We've considered this problem, so we added the function of automatic charging, changing the brush automatically, and cleaning it. The time for the first time is a little long, but it doesn't require user intervention. It achieves autonomous control."
"Oh …"
Chen Gang nodded. "It's not bad that it doesn't require user intervention, but …"
He still shook his head. "It takes eight to nine hours for the first time. This won't bring a good user experience."
He Hi was instantly unhappy. She shouted at him, "What's wrong with the time for the first time being a little long? It's only a few hours. Can we not do this for the sake of cleaning? I can afford to wait! I'll buy it! "
Chen Gang rolled his eyes at her. He was speechless. "I'm thinking from the user's point of view. User experience comes first!"
"Get lost, shut up. My son designed it this way for the user experience. Moreover, it's so clean, it'll definitely sell."
At this moment, He Hi's behavior was a little like some brainless fans who couldn't take any criticism.
"It's like this!"
Chen Jin hurriedly explained, "We tested it. If we clean it according to the cleanest standards, the first cleaning will take about five hours. This is the time when office workers go to work and children go to school. If there's no one at home, we can set up the cleaning mode before we go out.
"If there are people in the house and it is not convenient, the robot will divide the first job into three parts. Each time it sweeps, it will do it three times. After three days, it can enter the smart cleaning mode … but it is generally not recommended."
"Oh …"
Chen Gang nodded repeatedly. "If that's the case, it's indeed easier to use, but there's still a lot of room for improvement."
"Yes, this is only the first product released by my company. It's impossible for the first generation of products to reach perfection. There's room for improvement. When we release the next generation of products, we'll improve on these problems."
Actually, it wasn't that Chen Jin couldn't solve some of the problems. It was just that it would take time and increase production costs.
Moreover, if he released the most perfect product right from the start, how could he proceed with the subsequent upgrades?
Therefore, Chen Jin deliberately kept the flaws. Of course, this didn't affect the robot from cleaning the floor properly.
Chen Gang was very surprised. "I didn't expect you to think so far ahead."
He finally had a whole new level of respect for his son in front of him.
However …
He quickly discovered another fatal problem.
"Your robot sweeping the floor is too tall."
"It's more than half a meter tall. How can it clean under the table, under the furniture, and under the bed? Won't there be a lot of blind spots? You have to know that many other robot brands can clean those corners. "
He Hi's expression changed.
She immediately pointed at Chen Gang and roared, "Chen Gang, are you done? Is it easy for your son to make something? Aren't the blind spots in the house cleaned by humans? How can you expect a robot to be so smart? Don't look for bones in an egg. "
Chen Gang shrugged and smiled bitterly. "I'm not nitpicking. This loophole is too obvious. It's very likely to bring about a bad user experience. Once it's exposed, it will directly affect the user's desire to buy. Although other brands can't clean all the blind spots, at least they can take care of more corners."
"You …"
He Hi couldn't refute. She could only roll up her sleeves and angrily rush over. "Do you want to die? You're the one who talks the most, right? Shut up for this old lady! "
"Don't hit me, don't hit me!"
Chen Gang was so scared that he retreated and quickly begged for mercy.
"Dad, we've actually considered the problem you mentioned."
Chen Jin picked up the robot from the ground. He broke off the action buckle and twisted the body twice. The robot actually split into two halves.
The top half was a cartoon robot.
The bottom half was a disk-shaped object.
"Our robot has a modular design. The lower half is responsible for cleaning. It's no different from a traditional robot. It can work independently and clean the dust in the blind spots. The upper half is responsible for mopping the floor and cleaning the floor as clean as possible. However, it can't work independently and can't take care of the blind spots.
I admit that this design increases the user's inconvenience. But the loophole you mentioned is indeed more obvious and reduces the product's competitiveness. This is the only way to deal with it.
Generally, as long as the height is not more than 15 centimeters, this robot can take care of places with a lot of space. "
Chen Jin explained.
"Good, very good."
"It's a perfect robot sweeping the floor! I can't find any loopholes. "
"Son, I'm proud of you. You're the best!"
"Okay, okay, honey. You can put down the knife on my neck …"
Chen Gang said weakly. At that moment, his eyes were filled with the desire to live.
"Hmph! That's more like it! "
He Hi finally let go of her hand.
Chen Jin shook his head and smiled bitterly at this scene.
He pieced the robot back together and pressed a button on the back of the robot.
Chen Jin suddenly smiled mysteriously and said,
"Dad, Mom, this robot sweeping the floor has a very interesting function. It's especially funny. I guarantee that you'll laugh. This is also one of the selling points of this robot."
"Oh?"
