Chapter 10 Handmade Robots
The three-meter-high robot stands in the laboratory. The metal shell has not been covered yet. It consists of a head, body and limbs. Looking closely, it looks like a pile of machine parts mixed with dense wires.

The appearance of the machine is various. Compared with various robots for different situations, humanoid robots have no advantages. However, under the structure of human social civilization, humanoid robots still have the great significance it possesses.

For modern society, all kinds of machinery and equipment emerge in endlessly, and fixed mechanical technology has penetrated into people's lives.Large-scale machinery can do many jobs that humans cannot do, and it also has inherent restrictions, such as terrain restrictions.

Machines are tools used to improve efficiency and replace repetitive labor and calculation.

The size of the machine is also determined by its function and purpose.As a planting robot that needs to be quickly deployed and applied, the humanoid robot can be easily equipped with other modules to achieve planting tasks.

The desert landform is not simply flat land, highland, canyon, and sand dunes, which determine the size and weight of the machine.

Such a robot can be built in any country because of the lack of a control system.Unmanned control is not really literally unmanned control, but generally refers to remote control and automatic operation.

The planting robot lacks the installation of various systems. In other words, the big guy standing in front of Wei Lai is a good-looking guy.

If you want a robot to move, you need a complete working system.

The core of the system, that is, the underlying logic of the robot, is programming.

The robot programming language is a program description language, which can describe the working environment and the action of the robot very succinctly, and can realize the complicated operation content through the program as simple as possible.

The robot programming language, like the general programming language, should have the characteristics of concise structure, unified concept, and easy expansion.From the point of view of practical application, in many cases, the operator manipulates the robot to work in real time.

The inheritance of knowledge brought to Wei Lai by the system allowed Wei Lai to solve the big problem of programming.In terms of programming, it can be said that Wei Lai is a beginner, but what the system brings to Wei Lai is quite advanced machine language.

Wei Lai didn't know what kind of wealth his programming knowledge was.

Wei Lai at this stage has no one to communicate with.

The first thing to be installed is the robot's working system, which is used for automatic planting. In desert terrain, seeds need to take root and germinate at a depth of 1.2 meters. To put it simply, the workflow is to move the holes and place the seeds.

The problem to be solved came to the control system.The electric-driven robot and various electronic components were rebuilt in Wei Lai's hands to form the core components for controlling the drone. This cuboid electronic component, the size of a drawer, controls the operation of the entire drone.

This is the essence of the multifunctional unmanned robot technology provided by the system. The real black technology realizes the interaction between the robot and the environment and the execution of commands by setting various parameters.

Simply put, there are three major functions: environmental scanning, precise positioning, and mobile control.

Wei Lai installed it into the robot's head and named the system "sensory."

Next, the energy conversion and power system are necessary for the operation of the machine.

If the energy supply of the machine can only run for a few minutes, it will be extremely unsuccessful as a mobile robot, and as a stationary robot, its efficiency cannot compare with the efficiency of existing factory mechanical processing. This is the disadvantage of humanoid machines.

With the existing power storage system and power generation efficiency, it is undoubtedly too large for a mobile robot.

The preparation of photovoltaic power generation panels uses system optimization technology, abandons traditional generators, and achieves miniaturization and energy upgrades. The movement of machines in the desert requires more energy.

After a short operation, the power consumption of the robot's movement has reached 3%, and the power consumption in the working state has reached 5%. The moving speed is 100 kilometers per hour, and the limit speed is 120 kilometers per hour.

Wei Lai looked at the manufactured robot with satisfaction. A week later, Wei Lai, Su Qian and others conducted the first practical application test at the behind-the-scenes science and technology green space cultivation base.

Everyone looked at the machine in front of them, and no one thought it would succeed.The robot in front of me has not been installed with a shell, and weighs 1.35 tons. It is made of wires and parts, and it has a strong wasteland style.

Yue Zuogong thought to himself: "I thought it was an all-terrain vehicle piling and planting machine, but it turned out to be a robot. Without a powerful control system, it is not a question of whether it can move. What can't be done with this level of programming?
Large-scale manufacturing factories dare not directly engage in this unmanned robot. It's really strange. Let's have a look first. "

Unlike what Yue Zuogong thought, Zhao Feiyun and Tang Mingjiang were deeply worried about the future. Although the public was no stranger to robots.

From a product point of view, if the product has a single function and is not efficient enough to gain an advantage in market competition compared with other machines, it needs several versions of iterative upgrades to squeeze into the market. Marketing and finance are likely to seriously hinder the development of the company .

Su Qian knew that Wei Lai was planning to develop in cooperation with the country and take a high-end development route, but he had never seen the company start making robots right after it received the first investment. He felt that Wei Lai was a bit ambitious.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wei Lai almost wrote the words "Waiting and Seeing" on his face, and hurriedly said: "Start the test."

Yue Zuogong quickly arranged for employees to take notes.Wei Lai asked someone to put the seeds into the machine, turned on the machine, and set the planting area to one square kilometer.The machine acted quickly, plugging in, pulling out, and moving to the next position, all in one go.

"The maximum carrying capacity of seeds: 50 catties"

"Seed sorting error: 1-3 seeds"

"Good steering, good terrain adaptation"

"Obstacle test passed"

"Full power consumption test passed, continuous operation is good"

"Constant planting speed, planting time per square kilometer: 6 hours"

Everyone was stunned. Su Qian was slightly excited and asked: "How much does it cost? Can the function be developed again?"

Wei Lai scratched his head, "I haven't counted yet, I'm busy making it."

Yue Zuogong's eyes shone, "Mr. Wei, do you have the information? Can I study it?"

Wei Lai said: "It won't work for now. I still need to perfect it and give it to you once it's ready."

For construction machinery designers, the impact of a brand-new mechanical device, especially a technological product that should not appear at this stage, on Yue Zuogong deeply aroused his research interest, and unconsciously, it also had a great impact on Wei Wei. There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Wei Lai jokingly said: "Everyone has signed a non-disclosure agreement. This is currently the company's top secret, so don't post random things like Moments, haha."

It has not been long since everyone came to the behind-the-scenes technology company. At this time, for the first time, they had expectations for Wei Lai and the company. Su Qian immediately noticed the changes in the crowd, smiled slightly, and thought to himself:

"Not all companies are the same as yours. Let's see the truth."

Another week, Yan Jiayi was busy cooperating with legal counsel Chen Xue on various patent applications and purchases, and Zhao Feiyun calculated the cost of accounting materials and company expenditure approval. Everyone stayed in the desert base temporarily, waiting for the second test of the robot.

The appearance of the same robot has become silver-white and made of aluminum alloy. At this time, the weight of the robot has reached 1.6 tons, which is the weight of a car.

The change in appearance has greatly improved the appearance of the robot, but the performance has not improved much. The power usage results have also been tested. It can run at full power for three days and move for five days.

At the same time, Wei Lai started to build the production line, but the choice of power equipment put Wei Lai in a dilemma.

Wei Lai called Su Qian over. After a long silence, he said, "My drone uses new energy technology. If it is launched, it may have a great impact."

Su Qian asked, "How big is it?"

Wei Lai was silent again, "Maybe everyone doesn't need to buy electricity."

"How did you get the investment?"

"Talk to the country."

"Then it's over. You start a company, do research and development, and you're not engaged in people's livelihood or politics. You can't think too much."

Wei Lai suddenly realized that he was a bystander and a fan of the authorities. From obtaining the system step by step to have an impact on the world, he was afraid that the country would find out, but at the same time, in order to complete the first goal, he did not make small troubles. Which thing does not depend on the existence of the state.

The development of scientific and technological civilization is not the effort of one person, but the progress of a generation.
