v2 Chapter 399: Robot silly

The Skynet plan is hard to say, but Henry does have the idea of ​​vigorously developing robots.

The outside world is hustling and hustling, and there are a lot of comments on the robot, with approval and opposition.

Henry held a press conference at the alpha company and said: "What is success? Becoming a star, or becoming a rich man? No, none of this is a success!"

"In my opinion, creation can make mankind have a better future. This is success!!!"

"The goal of alpha company is to make robots to serve humans!"

"Some people say that the creation of robots is the Skynet project. In the future, robots will destroy humans. In fact, this is completely a fallacy. Robots are only controlled by a program and can only do things in accordance with the instructions of the program. Only humans can truly destroy humans. Myself! Any science and technology used for good, then be good; used for evil, then evil!!"

"The alpha company has been committed to the research of robots, and will produce all kinds of robots, including medical robots, military robots, handicapped robots, cleaning robots, warehouse robots, etc. The video we see is our alpha company for the military. A military robot designed-the'Big Dog' robot."

"At the same time, our alpha company has developed a warehouse robot, which will be released soon. Nicholas Express has placed an order for 1,000 warehouse robots from alpha company."

"In addition, I asked icq company to cooperate with alpha company to produce a robot pet. As we all know, siri is a cloud-based artificial intelligence program with powerful speech recognition and semantic understanding success. Therefore, we intend to develop a robot pet. This intelligent dialogue robot is called "Robot Xiaodai." The robot Xiaodai can not only answer questions raised by users, but also communicate and interact emotionally with users, and even further establish friendship."

"The robot XiaoDai has the most advanced evolutionary algorithm, and we will build a permanent database for each user's robot XiaoDai, so the longer you interact with it, it will become smarter and smarter. In the future, the robot manufacturing technology will be improved, and we can also replace its body, even for washing and cooking, cleaning, playing video games with you, etc.! I hope that in the future, the robot Xiaodai can always be with you You, never leave, become mankind's most loyal partners!"

"They will be more than just robot pets. I believe that every robot Xiaodai will become one of the most important members of every family. They will be your relatives!"

Henry finished speaking, and the audience thundered with applause. The reporters were shocked and unable to add to it. Really want to realize it. Isn't the robot drunk becoming an indispensable thing in every family, and with the passage of time, its status in the family will become more and more important, and it is almost impossible to leave it. ! ! !

Human beings will be in love with pets for a long time. Naturally, human beings are the same with robots!

Henry Williams really played a big game of chess! ! !

At that time, icq company hired more than 30,000 translators to correct and enhance the ability of Siri's speech recognition and semantic understanding. It turned out that it was not only for artificial intelligence translation, but "robots" was the real goal! ! !

Everyone couldn't help taking a deep breath, only Henry Williams had such financial resources and courage. In addition, icq is also a human chat software, and the development of siri has unique advantages!

Looking at the artificial intelligence of other companies, they are so different from Siri, it even takes more than ten years to catch up with Siri's current level!

The video of the alpha company's press conference was posted to the Internet, and soon the click-through rate exceeded one million.

The headlines of newspapers all use "Robot Xiaodai" as the headline!

Major TV stations around the world have invited experts and professors to analyze the matter.

For a while, the world was flooded with news of "robots staying".

Alpha company became busy immediately, the phone was blown up, almost all of them were asking how much the robot Xiaodai cost, and they wanted to buy one. In fact, the project has just been approved. Henry decided to develop "Robot Xiaodou" after coming to Alpha this time, and this time he decided to make a wheeled mobile robot instead of a multi-legged robot. The reason is also very simple. It is easier to manufacture wheeled mobile robots, and the other is safety. And multi-legged robots will fall from time to time, are you afraid of being broken? ! Under the condition that the robot technology is not advanced and mature enough, obviously the wheeled mobile robot is the best choice!

A key point in manufacturing robots is: positioning.

Previously, the Big Dog robot used a visual positioning system, that is, through a camera to shoot, and then analyze the image to construct a three-dimensional figure, so as to calculate the target distance, and realize the positioning function. It's all clear which direction the robot should go, how it should go, and how far it should go.

But the robot Xiaodai is a robot with voice functions. If the robot stays in the lobby and the user calls it in the kitchen, then Xiaodai should not only understand the meaning of this sentence~lightnovelpub.net~, but also Know where the sound is coming from, so you must have an auditory positioning system!

The key to the auditory localization system is sound source localization, especially the identification and separation of multiple moving sound sources. In other words, the robot must be able to recognize multiple sound sources at the same time, and then follow its instructions.

Therefore, it may take a long time to develop a "robot daddy". For those users who are eager to buy "Robot Xiaodou", Henry can only say sorry, let them wait for a year or two...

However, since everyone has urgent needs, how can Henry not satisfy them? For example, it is relatively easy to develop a mini "robot Xiaodou", the function...just like the siri software on the iPhone of the previous life. However, the robot Xiaodai wants to be more cute, with two big blue eyes that are cute and cute. The size will be slightly larger than the remote control toy car, the user can control it to walk through a special remote control. Of course, the biggest selling point of "Robot Xiaodai" is siri, which can help chat with users. In fact, Henry gave the name "Robot Xiaodai" to get vaccinations in advance. Xiaodai, Xiaodai, isn't it just a little silly? So, if "Robot Xiaodai" is silly while chatting, that's normal...
