Chapter 380 Family Nanny Version Robot
call--!
This is the power of the "Bionic Robot AI Learning" program given by the system!
Through a large amount of data learning, not only can the types of various flowers and trees be distinguished through images alone, but also the detailed knowledge of various flowers and trees can be learned in a more in-depth manner, and it can eventually be put into practice.

This is simply a "multidimensional deep learning neural network"!
I have always known about "AI learning" before, but I don't have an accurate concept of how to learn and what level of independent learning can be achieved.

At this moment, Hu Lai's heart suddenly became active, and he was keenly aware of the commercial value of it.

Mr. Du's example is just watering flowers. In fact, once the robot has the ability to learn autonomously, the practical scenarios will be far less than this.

To put it mildly, since they can water flowers and recognize the types of flowers, they can also recognize all kinds of vegetables and fruits after a lot of training. It should not be difficult for robots to learn to cook, stir-fry, sweep the floor and wash dishes.

And on a bigger scale, with the robot's super learning ability, there is no problem at all in becoming a "super intelligent robot"!
But when it comes to practicing English and tutoring homework, it is simply a matter of grasping.

All of a sudden, Hu Lai had many thoughts in his mind, and he already had a vague concept of the first generation of robots.

but.

Soon Hu Lai calmed down, and his eyes were on Du Ming again. He was not in a hurry right now and listened to Du Ming's introduction first.

"Master Du, please explain carefully."

Excited Du Ming also came back to his senses at this time, seeing that Hu Lai and Factory Manager Zhang were still standing, he hurriedly called them to sit on the sofa.

Two other engineers poured Zhang a glass of water, while the robot Amy listened quietly with green eyes shining.

After everything was arranged, Master Du continued:

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhang, in addition to Amy's core self-learning ability that I just introduced to you, we have also added a new function to 'Amy' - the 'central control system'."

"Central control system?!"

"Yes, boss, you should also understand the current smart home and smart home appliances, right?"

Hu Lai nodded.

Smart homes and smart home appliances are now very common on the market. Many lamps, curtains, refrigerators, washing machines and even rice cookers are dubbed "smart home appliances" by merchants.

Master Du went on to say:

"After we successfully installed the 'Bionic Robot AI Learning' program on 'Amy', we immediately tried to embed the 'Central Control System' in the 'AI Learning' program."

"To put it simply, it is to connect smart homes and home appliances with 'Amy', so that users can give instructions to 'Amy' and control all connected home appliances through 'Amy'."

Hu Lai was taken aback for a moment, then said:

"Master Du, isn't the effect you mentioned similar to the function of 'Xiao Ai Classmate' launched by Rice Group?"

"They all form an ecological chain of smart home appliances, and then use a robot to control them all."

Master Du didn't deny what Hu Lai said, but nodded in agreement.

"Strictly speaking, the functional thinking of the 'Central Control System' is indeed consistent with that of 'Student Xiao Ai', but..."

"Boss, you should also know that many so-called 'smart home appliances' on the market are actually just 'pseudo-intelligence' that can connect to WIFI and control electrical appliances through the network."

"For example, a smart washing machine can indeed remotely control the washing and dehydration of the washing machine, but in real life, what users need most is to remotely control the washing machine to wash clothes?"

"No! Users put their clothes in the washing machine, and they wash them casually and still need remote control? The most urgent need for users now is to have someone throw dirty clothes into the washing machine. It is best that the washing machine can automatically take it out after it is cleaned. Dry!"

Hearing this, Hu Lai smiled knowingly. In fact, he also needs this function more.

"Another example is a smart rice cooker. What the user lacks is the time to press the reservation button? Absolutely not! What the user lacks is the time for someone to wash the rice and then put the rice in the rice cooker to cook!"

"And now, our robot 'Amy' can not only remotely control all connected electrical appliances through the 'central control system' like 'Xiao Ai', but also help users complete these steps that originally required users to complete by themselves!"

"This is the difference of 'Amy'! It can not only control smart appliances, but also close the whole process."

"You can imagine that when the user only needs to say 'Amy help me wash the clothes', Amy can help you throw the clothes into the washing machine, and then use the 'AI chip' to automatically control the washing machine to wash. Hang it up, what kind of experience is this?!"

"Isn't this a realistic version of 'Conch Girl'?"

hiss--!
Conch girl?

Hu Lai couldn't help shaking his head.

What conch girl, this f*ck is a family version of a housekeeper and nanny!
The director Zhang at the side was also fascinated by hearing this. This is definitely a scene that most men dream of.

What does it mean to stretch out your hands and open your mouth, this is it!

If there is such a robot, good guy, the family conflicts will be much less!

He looked at Master Du excitedly, and asked:
"Master Du, the functions of washing clothes and cooking have been realized?"

"Not yet."

Seeing that Director Zhang was also attracted by the future he described, Master Du turned to look at Director Zhang, shook his head and said:
"Mr. Zhang, now Amy can't complete all the operations I just said, but with time, these complicated functions can definitely be successfully realized."

After saying this, Master Du turned back to Hu Lai's direction and explained:
"Our robot 'Amy' uses the 'AI neural network' to control the 'bionic mechanical skeleton', so 'Amy' needs to collect human movements before making any movements."

"Then the collected movements have undergone a lot of repeated learning and training through 'AI learning' before 'Amy' can really learn the movements and strength. This process is similar to our babies learning movements."

"At present, the time we have produced Amy is very short, and now the team has only trained 'Amy' in simple actions such as pouring water, holding a teacup, and watering flowers."

"The more complex movements in the future, the more time it will take, and the larger the amount of training data will be."

Hu Lai nodded secretly.

When he got the "Bionic Robot AI Learning" program from the system by lottery before, the system prompted that the matching degree of the current scene was only 10/100.

It is equivalent to that the "AI learning" program given in the system is only a basic version of the underlying framework. The direction and data of future robot learning will need to be filled and planned by the Phoenix Group itself.

There is no rush on this matter.

As long as the "AI Learning" algorithm has no flaws, 'Amy' will naturally become smarter with more and more training data.

Hu Lai didn't continue to dwell on this question. After a little thought, he changed the subject and asked with a smile:

"Master Du, I see that your current research on 'Amy' is basically based on home application scenarios. Are you more optimistic about the application of 'Amy' in family scenes?"

"What if 'Amy' is used in industry? Would 'Amy' work well?"

Upon hearing this, Master Du smiled wryly and shook his head.

As the chief researcher of the "Robot" research department of the Phoenix Research Institute, Du Shi is definitely a top expert in the field of robotics, and is also very familiar with the market application of robots.

Instead of directly answering the returned question, he explained:
"Boss, the main core technology of the 'Amy' robot is bionics, which can accurately simulate human movements, which makes it more powerful than similar robots."

"The second is that 'Amy' has a strong AI learning ability. If these two functions are combined, if 'Amy' is only used as a labor robot for repetitive tasks, such as carrying goods, I think it is meaningless."

"The existing intelligent robotic arm on the factory floor can already complete most of the repetitive work, so in my opinion 'Amy' is more suitable for individual users and for family scenes."

"In addition, with the current strength of our scientific research team, we really can't divide our troops into two research and development directions, so we haven't started research in the industrial field for the time being."

The last sentence made Hu Lai laugh too, indeed.

Although the group started to recruit top talents from the industry's top "robot industry" a few months ago, the more unpopular and high-end the industry, the more difficult it is to recruit top talents in a short time.

Fortunately, the Phoenix Group is now very famous, and after some operations, it can barely pull up a project team.

"Master Du, you are right, you continue to talk."

Master Du was not polite, and continued to explain in detail:
"In addition to the points just mentioned, the 'Amy' robot has 3 3D cameras and 6 sensors. This configuration is just right for a specific environment like a family scene."

"Its heart is equipped with our latest 52V, 4Kwh all-solid-state lithium battery, which also allows 'Amy' to have enough electric power in normal use, and can lift objects of a certain weight. It can be used normally under normal circumstances. Three days."

"Coupled with a good charging environment in the home environment, 'Amy' can work online 7*24 hours at any time."

"It can be said that almost all configurations perfectly match the needs of the home version of the bionic robot, and it is perfect as a home robot."

Hu Lai nodded.

In fact, Master Du's idea coincides with that of Hu Lai. When he first heard Master Du introduce "Amy", he felt that the best commercialization direction of "Amy" is the home version of the robot.

Firstly, it can be used as a "central robot" to control all electrical appliances in the home, and secondly, it can properly help the family to complete some simple housework.

As more and more people pursue a high-quality life, presumably such a robot will be sought after by many young people once it goes on the market.

but.

Before Hu Lai could be happy for two seconds, Master Du poured cold water on Hu Lai.

"But boss, if the current situation wants mass production, there may still be some problems."

"I calculated the production cost of 'Amy' yesterday, and it was as high as one million yuan."

"Of course, 'Amy' is now produced in our laboratory, and the cost must be higher, but even if it is mass-produced, the cost is estimated to be unable to drop significantly."

"If it is mass-produced and introduced to the market at the current price, I think it will be difficult for the high price to win favor in the market."

Hu Lai frowned suddenly.

Master Du's words reminded him that he originally focused on the performance and functions of the robot, but ignored the issue of the price.

He attaches so much importance to this robot product, the most important thing is to sell the product and earn points.

If the price of a robot is hundreds of thousands, it is impossible to know that a large number of customers will consume it, let alone become a hot item.

The atmosphere at the scene became dull, but after a while, Director Zhang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly asked:

"Master Du, I have an idea."

"I just heard you say that the 'Amy' robot produced by our research institute has strong learning ability and strong athletic ability, but I don't think our first generation of robots that are introduced to the market need to be so versatile!"

Oh?
Hu Lai looked at Director Zhang.

"Simply put, we can learn from the way of car manufacturers to sell cars, and make robots into several versions for differentiated configurations."

"For example, if someone needs someone to cook and clean up, you can choose the 'family nanny version'; for example, if you need to help children study, you can choose the 'family book child version'. Of course, customers can also add various configurations according to their own needs."

"In this way, the mechanical structure and hardware configuration of each different configuration should be simplified a lot, customers have more choices, and the cost can be greatly reduced!"

Hu Lai's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good way.

The "Amy" made in the laboratory can be regarded as the most powerful robot version of the Phoenix Group at the moment, but for the sake of cost considerations during mass production, it is indeed possible to appropriately delete some less important functions.

Only when the cost is reduced and the purchase threshold is lowered, can more customers buy, and the entire robot industry can realize a positive cycle.

and.

Once the robot industry starts to have a certain sales volume, the cost will inevitably decrease after large-scale industrial production in the future.

This is true of previous new energy vehicles, and it is bound to be true of upcoming robots.

After thinking for a while, Hu Lai made up his mind and said:
"The problem of mass production can adopt the solution that Director Zhang said, and make more configurations of several robots, and try to lower the threshold of the minimum configuration, so that more people are interested in buying."

"Now that our 'Amy' robot has been produced, my next idea is to promote our robot to the outside world. After all, it will definitely be put on the market in the end."

As he spoke, he looked at Master Du and asked:

"Master Du, you are relatively familiar with the robot industry, do you have any good suggestions for publicity?"

Master Du pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Indeed."

"More than half a month later, there will be a biennial global robotics conference in New York. At that time, robotics companies from all over the world will participate in the robotics conference. This time, we have time to sign up now."

"And according to the current industry information, at this Global Robot Conference, Zesla and Rice Group will also release their latest bionic robots."

Zesla?
Rice Group?

Hu Lai sighed inwardly, this is really a coincidence.
