As the reporters and lucky employees of the press conference continue to publish various working videos of household robots on the Internet, the popularity of this topic has not decreased because of the New Year, but it has become more and more intense.

Many netizens only saw some scenes of robots at the press conference. Later, they saw the application of robots in different scenarios in various advertisements. They also saw promotional videos produced by Universe Technology on the official website, but that was after all Publicity.

Advertisements and actual effects are not the same at all. It often happens. Even those buyers who have placed orders are not without doubts. Now I have seen so many working videos of robots in real scenes. The people who received the order began to scream on the Internet, promoting their wise martial arts everywhere, and the topic was so hot.

Of course, how can companies that are also developing robots with such a big momentum not pay attention? The situation in China is better. After all, the technical level is there. It is not realistic to think of reaching the technological height of Universe Technology in one fell swoop, so also In no hurry, I spent a lot of money to buy one from the lucky guys who owned the robot in advance and study it. Anyway, after a few days of shipments of such a large scale, I bought a few if I wanted to buy a few.

But those foreign companies don’t think so. Many large companies have very advanced robotics technology, especially large high-tech companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, Samsung, etc. have invested a lot of money in the field of robotics. And energy.

There are many robotic research projects like Google, and the most famous one is the "Atlas" robot.

"Atlas" is a humanoid robot with a height of nearly 1.5 meters and a weight of nearly 75 kilograms. It has a head, torso and limbs like a human. The "eyes" are two stereo sensors. Developed by Boston Dynamics, a subsidiary of Google. The product iteration of has probably undergone three major version updates.

In May 2018, Boston Dynamics demonstrated an upgraded version of the humanoid robot, which can already achieve one-leg jump.

There is also a company like Amazon. The latest news says that Amazon is planning a household robot, Vesta, which is expected to be launched in recent years.

The news pointed out that the Vesta project had actually been planned several years ago, but it was only 18 years before it began to recruit talents. It is reported that the Lab126 website has posted recruitment notices for dozens of positions including software engineers, robotics engineers and sensor principle engineers.

The Vesta project is led by Gregg Zehr, the leader of Amazon's Lab126 hardware research and development department. Echo smart speakers, FireTV set-top boxes, Fire tablets and FirePhone phones are all from this department.

As for the configuration, presumably the Vesta robot will be equipped with a high-definition camera, artificial intelligence technology, built-in Amazon Alexa, and can work with Amazon Echo.

In fact, Amazon has been deeply involved in robotics for many years. Among them, in March 2012, Amazon announced the acquisition of the warehouse robot system KivaSystem for $775 million in cash, and subsequently added tens of thousands of robots to join the logistics work, which made Amazon’s logistics efficiency 2 to 4 times higher and the accuracy rate reached 99.99%. And opened the monopoly of robotics for many years.

Such companies are also ambitiously wanting to enter the human-type household robot market, and the time for technological breakthroughs is not far away.

There are also countries with advanced robotics technology such as the Eight-Ga Country, the Bangzi Country, and the German Country are also developing various humanoid robots. Laboratories in some countries are even secretly developing military humanoid robots.

Although it is still under research and development in the laboratory, it is already at the world's leading level in terms of technology. Therefore, for a new company that has suddenly emerged that can put human-type household robots into the market on a large scale, these companies are not in a hurry. Weird!

Their humanoid robots under development are still far from being able to be put into the market on a large scale, but technology, as long as there are objects to be imitated, will progress very quickly.

So time is very important to these companies, because other competitors will not delay time, so those foreign reporters who bought home robots quickly sold their robots to these companies, except for 30,000 to 50,000. In addition to the attractive price of US dollars, these companies have also promised these reporters that they can give them exclusive interviews or exclusive news opportunities, so no reporter can refuse such conditions.

After these big companies bought these robots, they pulled them into the laboratory as soon as possible. Various test projects were carried out simultaneously. Everyone wanted to know the various data of these robots in the shortest time, which was detailed data. , Not the simple data released by Universe Technology.

"Unbelievable! How did they design such a perfect robot! Actually, a robot can achieve so many functions! Perform all kinds of actions that we can't even think of!" A large-scale experiment by Google's Boston Dynamics In the room, an expert stared at the robots who were doing various housework according to their instructions and exclaimed.

"It is indeed a shocking product! It is estimated that it will take at least 5 years for our "Atlas" robot to achieve such an effect!

Everyone must pay more attention to observation~lightnovelpub.net~ Although our own pride prevents us from imitating a product produced by Huaxia, it will bring us inspiration that we did not have before, and it can allow us to follow Research work takes fewer detours!

I believe everyone knows the importance of time without saying it! If we can't take out our own products in the shortest time, when this robot completely occupy the market, our living space will be squeezed out!

What's more, other companies will do their best in this competition! The market is so big. If we cannot give the company a satisfactory answer, it will be very difficult for our laboratory to obtain funding from the company. You may also face unemployment, so please work hard!

The company will give everyone the greatest support, equipment and equipment, funds and funds! The head office will also provide help, I hope you will work harder! "

The director of the laboratory, Rodison, seriously conveyed the company’s attitude to the experts in the laboratory. To be honest, as the director of the laboratory, he is under great pressure now. Compared with the domestic robots of Universe Technology, They have fallen behind a lot, and the attention of the company and the head office has increased his pressure, not to mention there are so many competitors.
