Chapter 461 Intelligent Robots

464 chapter

4 month 18 day.

The Cray Mathematical Sciences Awards are presented at the headquarters of the Cray Mathematical Institute.

And the final result did not surprise everyone.

Cheng Nuo won this year's Cray Mathematical Sciences Award for his proofs of Taniyama Shimura's Conjecture and Cheng's Complex Ring Conjecture.

Deserved!

If it was said that the last time Cheng Nuo won the Veblen Award, everyone was a little surprised.

As for the Cray Mathematical Sciences Award this time, they really couldn't find out who else was eligible to receive this award except Cheng Nuo.

…………

The day after the awards ceremony, Cheng Nuo rushed back to school.

What follows is a period of idle time.

Cheng Nuo hasn't found a suitable project yet. First, most of the college's current projects are too low in difficulty, and Cheng Nuo is not interested.

Another reason is that those high-end projects are currently in the hands of the big guys in the college. Cheng Nuo can only start with them.

It seems that I have to find time to go to the Institute of Mathematics to have a look.

Cheng Nuo thought so.

But before this idea was put into practice, someone came to the door.

It was Professor Fresnel who opened the door.

He was carrying a briefcase and walking hurriedly. When he entered the door, he asked directly, "Cheng Nuo, do you have time these days?"

Cheng Nuo shrugged and smiled bitterly, "Professor, don't you see that I'm so lazy now?"

"That's just right. I'm going on a business trip here for a few days, and I have a task to arrange for you."

"Professor, tell me."

"Ningyun Technology Company invited us to go to their place for technical guidance last week. The time is set to be tomorrow, but I suddenly have something to do, so I can only let you run for me."

"Hingyun Technology?" Cheng Nuo muttered softly, "What kind of company is this?"

"Intelligent robot company is quite famous in China. Let me talk to them. Someone should come downstairs to pick you up tomorrow."

"OK, no problem."

He was bored and bored, so he finally waited for a job, so Cheng Nuo naturally wouldn't refuse.

…………

The next day.

A Maybach with a black body was parked downstairs.

A middle-aged man in a leather jacket opened the car door for Cheng Nuo politely, "Professor Cheng, I'm sorry."

Cheng Nuo leaned comfortably on the back of the soft chair, waved his hands, and said with a smile, "Using people's money to relieve disasters for others, since we have received the money, we will naturally do our best to fulfill your request."

"Let's go, I don't want to waste too much time."

The middle-aged man nodded and sat in the driver's seat.

The headquarters of Nebula Technology is located in the Boston area.

Half an hour later, the car stopped firmly in front of a building.

"Professor Cheng, this way please."

The middle-aged man walked in front to lead the way for Cheng Nuo.

The layout of the hall is full of high-tech, walking on the road, you can also see all kinds of intelligent robots shuttling between floors.

Taking the elevator, the middle-aged man led Cheng Nuo to the third basement floor.

This is the technology research and development center of Nebula Technology, the core of the entire company.

Nebula Technology Co., Ltd. is an intelligent robot research and development company established three years ago.

Its main products are household robots and educational robots, including sweeping robots, entertainment robots, personal assistant robots...

Occupy a larger share in the market.

However, although the company's current benefits are good, its prospects are indeed worrying.

A few years ago, the market for intelligent robots was not huge, and household intelligent robots were expensive, and all families who could afford them belonged to the wealthy class, so this small cake was not noticed by those big conglomerates.

But now, with the development of technology, the cost of intelligent robots has been compressed to a very low level, which makes it enough for even ordinary well-off families to purchase a household intelligent robot, and this market has been rapidly enlarged.

Then, the cake was big enough to attract the attention of those big consortiums.

This made Nebula Technology a little uncomfortable.

In the past, I was comfortably eating alone with two or three other intelligent robot companies and operating the market, but now that the market has finally expanded, those big consortiums are about to join in and share the cake.

In terms of money, Nebula Technology is simply not enough compared to those big consortiums.

Therefore, they can only rely on technology to win.

Simply put, it is to improve the core competitiveness of their brands.

At the same price, why do others choose your company instead of others? It is because the technology contained in intelligent robots is more high-end.

Their company invited Cheng Nuo for this purpose.

The middle-aged man took Cheng Nuo to an office and knocked on the door, "Mr. Lanni, Professor Cheng is here."

Mr. Laney looks to be in his 40s, wearing a suit and his hair is meticulously combed.

"Professor Cheng, this is the vice president of our company, Lanny Burt."

"Mr. Lanney, this is Professor Cheng from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

"Ha, Cheng, I didn't expect you to be as young as the rumors say." Mr. Lanney gave Cheng Nuo a big hug as soon as he came up.

Cheng Nuo smiled and said nothing.

"Come on, let me show you around our R&D center first." Mr. Lanney walked out of the office with his arms around Cheng Nuo's shoulders, looking familiar.

"Here is the research and development room of our personal intelligent assistant robot. Hey, have you seen that robot that is only the size of a palm? This is our fifth-generation product. In addition to facial recognition and language engine, this time we have added Language recording, the function of a handheld computer."

"Look over there again. It is our newly developed intelligent robot called a learning assistant robot. As long as the chip corresponding to the knowledge is inserted, it can perform a series of tasks such as teaching, setting questions, reviewing, and reciting checks."

"And here,..."

The underground R&D center has a lot of space. Mr. Lanney took Cheng Nuo to visit several areas before stopping in a R&D room.

"Professor Cheng, how is our side?" Professor Lanney asked with a smile.

Cheng Nuo looked around and nodded, "Not bad."

"Then let's get to the point now." Mr. Lanney said.

Cheng Nuo nodded, "Yes, Mr. Laney, please tell me."

Mr. Lanney organized his language and said slowly, "Professor Cheng, as you can see, our company is not lacking in innovation, but now, we have been troubled by the most basic problems for a long time."

Mr. Lanney kept looking at the string of data on the computer, and said with a wry smile, "So far, we haven't found a solution to the delay problem."

"Also, we are helpless in terms of consistency control. I hope that your arrival will give us a glimmer of hope."

Cheng Nuo nodded, expressing his understanding.

Latency and consistency are indeed a major challenge faced by most intelligent robots.
