Technology and life: starting with solar cars

Chapter 123

In fact, mechs cannot perform intelligent operations, that is because mechas are programs, and the biggest difference between programs and humans is that humans can synthesize things according to their own memory and social experience, and then combine them with the actual situation. It is impossible for mechas to make judgments, and it is also impossible for other machines, that is the ability of logical thinking.The so-called logical thinking is to use one's own personality and experience to judge a thing, and machines cannot obtain experience, so naturally they cannot judge a thing through their previously stored knowledge like humans.The machine can only respond to the things it encounters according to the pre-set programs, and it is impossible to obtain something called experience like a human being. Naturally, the acquisition without experience or the thinking of behavior cannot be like human beings. thought about it.The mecha is limited by the current level of technology, and it is impossible to realize the artificial intelligence of the mecha. The so-called artificial intelligence is just to look good, just listen to it.

It is impossible to write out all the situations as possible, because there are too many situations that the mecha may encounter, so many that even a programmer can't finish it in a lifetime, so it only needs to be written in the program design. The frequent occurrences that those mechs may encounter are sufficient, and there are many such possibilities, so why not write thousands of instructions.Thousands of instructions look right. In fact, this is mostly for humans. For machines, thousands of instructions are really not worth mentioning. The CPU of the mecha includes the computing power of the CPU of other machines. It far exceeds that of humans, and the logic ability of the control center is several blocks away from humans. If you don't look at the thinking ability of machines, the ability of machines to process data alone is simply beyond the reach of humans.Not to mention those better CPUs, even the computing power of those eliminated X2 CPUs is not comparable to that of humans, that is to say, the ability of machines to process data per unit time far exceeds that of humans. The biggest advantage over humans.Therefore, as long as time permits, all possible situations can be written into the control center of the mecha as much as possible. When the time comes, if the mecha encounters certain specific situations, it can report to the outside world according to the pre-set procedures. The signal reacts as it should.Of course, the completion of this program cannot be completed in a day, nor does it mean that it can be completed in a few months of hard work. Feedback from the user of the armor, based on your own observations and feedback from the user of the armor, to constantly adjust the data of the armor, this is the most feasible method, instead of listing all the possibilities at the beginning , You must know that there is a gap between practice and theory, and things that look perfect in theory may not necessarily be able to do it in practice.Therefore, the design of the program must conform to the actual situation, and it must be continuously improved according to the actual situation. The program cannot be designed for granted. That is not very meaningful, and it is a waste of time.

After the design of the program is completed, the next step is the head part of the mecha. For the mecha, it is only a tool to assist humans. Therefore, the head of the mecha must also be designed to assist humans.The head is divided into five senses, and the mecha naturally simulates the five senses of humans. The five senses represent the five senses, so it is very important for the mecha. The vision of the eyes and the hearing of the ears are very easy to achieve. But the human sense of taste is difficult to achieve. Of course, it is not interesting to let mechas simulate human taste, because human beings rely on taste to eat, but mechas do not need to eat like humans, as long as there is enough energy supply. , so the analogy of taste is not very important.And it is not very important for the sense of touch. Mechas are not human and do not need to use the sense of touch to achieve human-like activities. Of course, the sense of touch can still be achieved compared to the sense of taste, because the sense of touch is nothing more than sensations of cold, heat and pain. Of course, a machine like a mecha can't have a sense of touch, but different sensors can be used according to the characteristics of these tactile sensations. The role of the armor is not very big. If you have to give the mecha a sense of touch, you can still add the sense of cold and heat to the mecha. The main reason is that the tactile sense of cold and heat can effectively avoid the damage of the mecha. It can be regarded as using the hot and cold perception to realize the advantages and avoid disadvantages of the mecha. This is not bad, and it can be simulated according to the actual situation.

As for the simulation of human vision by mechs, it is much simpler. The simulation of human vision by mechas is mainly realized through cameras. The purpose is to help the operator of the mecha obtain information outside the mecha. After all, the mecha is 3 meters high. It is unrealistic to turn the head and turn around every time to see the nearby things. It is simply unrealistic to observe the surroundings through body movements, and it is much simpler for us to use cameras to obtain things in the surrounding environment.The first is to simulate the shape of the human eye. To put it bluntly, it is to simulate the shape and color of the human eye, so that the eyes of the mecha and the eyes of the human look a bit like it. Of course, there are two cameras in the eyes of the mecha. The human-like retina, so it is actually a shape for the camera, just to make the camera more like a human eye when it is installed in the eye of the mecha.The purpose of the two eyes on the mecha is to see things in front of the mecha. If you work hard, you can see things within 180 degrees in front of the mecha, that is, the entire front of the mecha.The difference between mechas and humans is that mechas can install cameras arbitrarily to obtain things, and it is naturally impossible for humans to install more eyes in order to obtain more angles of pictures, so we can give mechas more Install a few cameras and use more cameras to observe the surrounding environment in 360 degrees, and the observed surrounding environment is transmitted to the screen inside the mecha through the transmission line, so that the operator of the mecha can Observe what is happening at all angles around you in real time.For example, the surrounding things can be divided into four screens. First, the front part of the mech is one screen, the left and right parts of the mech are another screen, and the back of the mech is also a screen. In this way, there are 4 screens in total. Screen, to achieve 360 ​​vision without dead ends.
