Technology: Breaking the monopoly global hegemony

Chapter 1027 Engineer Exchange

If it was three years ago, Paul would definitely be interested in listening to the other party's bragging, but now he is so anxious that he doesn't want to listen to the Boston Dynamics' executives.

"Smith, I don't want to hear how shiny your babies are. Do you know the female reporter in Chapter 850? She showed the intelligent technology of Kyushu Technology Robot through Yizhen Media Company. If we hadn't suppressed it forcibly in the first place topic, blocked the spread of news, and the report on the robot in the Jiuzhou Science and Technology Park has already cut your valuation in half!"

In his anger, Paul also thought of the reporter who reported on the Kyushu Technology Robot. He was beautiful and fair-skinned. If it wasn't for the fact that the other party's family was too powerful, he would have given this female reporter to Shen Hu.

Immediately afterwards, Paul said in a low voice with a serious expression: "The package has arrived at your company, and the seller also arrived at your company's laboratory yesterday. Don't rush to open it in the laboratory. I am on my way. It is expected to arrive in 10 minutes, and the seller’s information, you must keep the whole process confidential, and all participants must sign a non-disclosure agreement. After all, he will live in the United States for a long time in the future, and we will also You have to rely on him to get an operating space comparable to first-level authority.

And the most important thing, after the experiment is over, I must provide me with a complete, clear enough laboratory video without mosaics.

That's important if you want Boston Dynamics to get another $[-] million investment. "

Facing the suggestion made by the senior executive of the Ministry of Commerce, Smith couldn't see any high degree of research and development personnel and doctoral degrees.

He nodded at the mobile phone with a simple and honest face: "Don't worry, we Boston Dynamics are willing to provide all the information we can provide to the authorities. The laboratory has just notified me of the arrival of the package.

Mr. Paul, thank you for your help. Otherwise, our company would also have a headache on how to obtain the latest robot products of Kyushu Technology. Even if we bought them, it would be impossible to ship them back so easily. Those customs are really stupid. "

"That's right, Great Xia has finally relaxed the export restrictions on Kyushu's technological products, and our people are still stuck with the rigid rules."

Paul said this with emotion, and then communicated with the senior executive of Boston Dynamics through an encrypted call about the business issue of how much Boston Dynamics shares held by his wife changed, and then hung up the phone.

If it weren't for Boston Dynamics' ability to do things, many things might not be the turn of the other party.

After all, which company such as Google, Microsoft, or Pingguo does not have a robot research and development project?Is it necessary for such a company that has never made a profit to resist the offensive of Kyushu technology robots?

There are also those robots that are powerful in the video, but they have not been able to be mass-produced in the past few years, which is really speechless.

On the other side, Smith, one of Boston Dynamics’ top executives and one of the heads of the robot project, picked up his phone and began to calculate the gains and losses of a new round of investment after hanging up the phone.

As for the shares, it would be great if you can get more cash investment if you distribute a part of it, and you can benefit from it. After all, the company is not owned by your family.

Give this person from the Ministry of Commerce a little bit in exchange for money.Points to those in the Ministry of Science and Technology, in exchange for resources.Boston Dynamics' special development path is so safe and fast.

After finishing the bill and putting down the phone, Mr. Smith, the core executive of Boston Dynamics, who has 20 years of experience as an engineer, put on his overalls.

The boss is coming to check, and the actors naturally have to put on their costumes.

Boston's robotics laboratory is not as sci-fi as Hollywood movies. In the brightly lit room, this laboratory looks more like a warehouse than a high-tech laboratory.

Before the supervisor and the person in charge arrived at the laboratory, some engineers had swiped their cards to enter the experimental observation room.

Everyone is an elite graduate from MIT, Cambridge, and Harvard, and many of them are even brothers in the same school, so there are many topics of communication with each other, and there is nothing special about them.

Here the Cambridge engineer is saying: "If the robot wants to achieve better dancing and parkour, in addition to enhancing the motor, the agility, balance and perception capabilities must be supported by the system. Therefore, the robustness of the hardware is the key point, material applicability is the key point, but software assistance is the most important."

This is emphasizing, and it is also complaining about the system and motion assistance software of the project robot.

And the engineer from Harvard over there did not refute at all, and even admitted it directly...

"There is indeed some gap between our motion assistance software and Kyushu Technology's technology, but the gap is not big."

But after admitting it, the engineer retorted: "But in the same industry, our SpotMini (robot model) can walk through and climb stairs more easily than humans in an office full of obstacles. The running and agility performance in the wild have broken through the technical limitations of the industry!
Our robot can already use camera data to orient itself on a spatial map, while detecting and avoiding obstacles.

However, these functions still require a powerful chip, sufficiently stable energy and power transmission devices to continue to develop. The research and development of material technology and equipment hardware have restricted the upgrade of our software system! "

"Huh, Kyushu Technology didn't have as many materials and equipment as we did. Even their motor system is a brushless motor that has just been developed. Their system engineers can achieve spatial positioning and avoidance on the sweeping robot. Obstacles, and our engineers also need the cooperation of several cameras and our group of engineers to realize this function.

Perhaps we can now decentralize this technology to the civilian sweeping robot market and make profits for Boston Dynamics. "

"Please, Miller, to reduce the layout of the camera and increase the sanitation and cleaning equipment, these changes will take more than a day or two, but we can license these technologies to other companies. Interested in technology, maybe even we can get a bonus and shares.”

"Have you forgotten the Spot robot dog project that William is responsible for? It is our company's first commercialized robot dog, and the price starts at $7.5.

And its positioning is the same as that of the Kyushu Technology robot dog. It can not only entertain, but also work. Using our environmental map drawing technology, the Spot robot dog can also accurately sense and avoid obstacles, climb stairs and open doors. "
