Vol 2 Chapter 1267: Intelligent lunar rover

Latest URL: Sky Crane?

If I remember correctly, this seems to be a black technology developed by NASA. Using this black technology, NASA has landed many rover steadily and safely on Mars.

I heard that this technology is very difficult, can we do it?

Obviously, there are many people who have had such thoughts and concerns at the scene. In addition to some non-technical personnel, there are even some scientific research and technical personnel who are also skeptical.

Zhou Xiangming saw the reaction of everyone, and then turned his head to look at Wu Hao, then smiled at everyone and explained: "Yes, this technology is indeed a cutting-edge technology mastered by NASA.

However, this does not mean that this technology can only be owned by them. In fact, many countries and aerospace technology companies are also conducting research on this technology or similar technologies.

And we are one of them, and thanks to our outstanding achievements in the field of rocket technology, we can say that we have many advantages over others in the development of this technology.

At present, we have completed our own sky crane technology research and development demonstration work, the formal research and development work has begun, and the current progress is very smooth.

We are confident to ensure that our company's first intelligent lunar rover will be launched as scheduled next fall. "

Hearing Zhou Xiangming's introduction, although everyone still had many questions about me, they all nodded one by one. Also, since Zhou Xiangming had already promised, then they still worry about something.

And Wu Hao didn't say anything about it, but smiled and signaled Zhou Xiangming to continue.

After receiving Wu Hao's signal, Zhou Xiangming nodded immediately, and then continued to introduce to everyone.

"In addition to the problem of using sky crane technology to land on the moon, our biggest problem should be this intelligent lunar rover.

First of all, this lunar rover, or it can also be called a lunar patrol vehicle or a lunar rover. The biggest difference between it and other past lunar rover and lunar ground patrol is that it has an intelligent brain, which is an artificial intelligence system. Have an intelligent brain that thinks and decides independently.

In other words, these two lunar rovers can not only be remotely operated by our humans, but also can be issued by our humans, and then this intelligent lunar rovers can execute autonomously.

And this time, compared to previous lunar projects, we launched a separate intelligent lunar rover. It can be freely exercised on the moon without restriction or restriction, to any place it can go.

In terms of theoretical design, this intelligent lunar rover has the ability to travel at high speed on the moon, and its top speed can reach 30 kilometers per hour.

This speed is definitely not worth mentioning compared to earth vehicles. But compared to all the extraterrestrial planets in the past or in the future, such as the lunar rover, the Mars rover is faster and much faster.

At this speed, the safety of the intelligent lunar rover has naturally become our top priority.

As we always say, we have to survive, so we can do more things.

And at such a speed, it is obviously far from enough and impossible to rely on our remote command on the earth.

So we have to develop an autonomous driving system for this intelligent lunar rover, so that this intelligent lunar rover can travel on the moon autonomously. "

"When it comes to autonomous driving technology, unmanned driving, we are all very familiar with this. Because now, all slightly higher-end cars are equipped with autonomous driving technology. Although most of them are not mature enough, there are still some of them. Some are very well done.

Of course, we have also engaged in the research and development of autonomous driving technology, and we have also made good progress.

And this time, some of our intelligent autonomous driving technology on this intelligent lunar roaming rover comes from the auto-driving technology developed by us.

However, the lunar rover is very different from our cars, and the lunar environment is also very different from the earth's environment.

On the moon, our automatic driving system does not have to consider what roads to keep, what vehicles to avoid pedestrians, what distance control, etc., these technologies are indispensable in automobile automatic driving systems. "

"The intelligent lunar rover does not need these. There are no roads on the moon, let alone vehicles and pedestrians.

Therefore, the focus of this intelligent lunar rover is obstacle avoidance technology. The terrain on the moon is very rich, not only some rocks of different sizes, but also some craters of different sizes. And some of the mountains, cliffs, and endless plains that are common on our planet.

Therefore, this requires our intelligent lunar rover to avoid the rocks and potholes that these intelligent lunar rover may encounter when driving at a high speed of 30 kilometers per hour. And quickly plan a safe, flat, and passable route.

It seems that this technology is not that difficult, at least because there is no advanced obstacle avoidance technology such as avoiding moving vehicles and pedestrians in the automatic driving technology of vehicles.

But in fact, this technology is not simple at all, and it will be more difficult to perform on the moon than you can imagine.

Especially in such a complex terrain, it is necessary to drive at high speed, and can promptly and quickly plan and select a safe, flat, and intelligent lunar rover to pass through.

To be honest, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is not easy for some of our off-road vehicle masters or old drivers. Even an experienced off-road vehicle driver, under such terrain, will have a series of problems and malfunctions.

It’s okay to say on earth, because on earth our drivers can get out of the car at any time for maintenance and even call for rescue.

But on the moon, which is 380,000 kilometers away from us, once our intelligent lunar rover has problems, such as damage to the vehicle, instigation of rebellion, or some other malfunctions.

So what should we do, is it really like He Yutu-1, just stop on the moon and finally give up?

Therefore, for us, the safety of the intelligent lunar rover is the first.

This requires that this autonomous driving technology must be reliable enough, otherwise, we can only reduce the speed of the car, and then move forward by a few centimeters and centimeters just like those previous lunar patrol devices.

In that case, the scientific research value and commercial value of our intelligent lunar rover will be greatly reduced. "
