Haha! Boss, you hold grudges too much! Didn't I complain about it during the last meeting? Why do you still remember this matter! Hearing Lei Tiantang's words, the Deep Space Laboratory's Zhang Hanxiu, the general manager, couldn't help but laugh and complain.

The people around were also amused. To be honest, although Lei Tiantang is now the richest man in the world, his status has not affected the harmonious relationship between the company's employees and him. Everyone will not just because he is his own boss. Generate ideas about what needs to be kept at a distance.

On the contrary, he will be admired by everyone because of his technical strength. After all, an expert boss is a better boss for the employees of a large technology research and development company, so they joke with each other when they are together. No one thinks there is anything strange about this.

After the group came to the test plant of the lunar landing probe, Zhang Hanxiu began to give a brief introduction to the Moon Palace Pathfinder backup probe, which was also packaged.

Boss, our lunar probe is technically much better than our country's series of lunar landing probes. On the one hand, this is because our company's various material technologies and design considerations are more complete.

On the other hand, the size of our lunar probes is much larger than theirs, mainly because our company's rockets are more capable and can carry more mass to the moon.

The larger size allows us to install more detector components on our lunar probe, making it more functional, performing more detection tasks, and conducting more lunar experiments at the same time. While introducing, he asked Yuanyuan to project the test image of 'Moon Palace Pathfinder'.

Although it is equipped with wheels, how can I see it as if it feels like an insect crawling? Is it my illusion? Kayla asked curiously looking at the various movements of the detector in the video.

She is a girl who grew up on a farm and works in archaeology, so she has a very deep understanding of insects, so after seeing the movements of the detector, she instinctively noticed that its movements seemed to imitate the walking of insects.

You're not wrong at all! When I said that our design is better, it's not just talking, our detector does use the design concept of insect bionics, and it does use insects in crawling and walking. design ideas.

And our Mars landing probe also uses this bionic design! Zhang Hanxiu confirmed Kayla's conjecture with a smile, and then he briefly introduced the reason for such a design.

You must know that insects are an important member of the endless nature. They have lived on the earth for at least 300 million years. Now there are more than 1 million species of insects in the world, accounting for 2/3 of all animals.

Insects are ubiquitous in our lives, and their distribution is extremely wide, from the equator to the poles, from oceans, rivers to deserts, and even up to the world's highest peak - Mount Everest, down to hundreds of meters deep in the soil, the earth There are insects in almost every corner of the city.

Because insects have strong environmental adaptability, scientists hope to imitate them to make robotic insects to probe various complex environments on other planets.

It has always been the unremitting pursuit of their scientists to manufacture a rover with good maneuverability, multiple functions and low power consumption. How can we make better detection robots?

Scientists in the lab thought of the super-adaptive ability of insects, and some researchers plan to learn from insects and apply this feature of insects to the upcoming robotic insects.

Of course, in order to make Kayla, a layman, understand the research work in this area more clearly, Zhang Hanxiu also explained the research difficulties here, and at the same time, he introduced the synchronous projection of the origin to show the relevant research process.

In order to develop better lunar probes and Mars probes,

In the company's laboratory, there is a laboratory specializing in the study of biological robots. The research team is mainly to develop a robot walking detector with a more stable walking method.

At first it looked almost exactly like a spider, but its size was enlarged many times. In the laboratory, scientists first used slow-motion video to carefully analyze the spider's behavior, and then copied the insect's joint structure to the robot.

The legs of the robot walking detector are divided into 5 parts, and the “leg joints” of the robot are driven by compressed air, but this design is very power-consuming and complicated, and the failure of any part may cause the entire robot to be paralyzed.

Therefore, scientists in the laboratory intend to simplify this robot crawler and make another robot. Swap the 8 legs for 6 legs with wheels, each leg wheel is surrounded by 3 shanks in a circle that looks like a wheel with notches.

As the wheels rotate, the three feet on each leg wheel land on the ground in turn, pushing the robot forward. In this way, the robot can drive 6 leg wheels to run at the same time with only one engine, and the complexity is also greatly reduced.

The front of the robot is also equipped with two tentacles. When encountering an obstacle, these two tentacles can help it determine whether to go around, climb over, or drill over.

The robot is divided into two parts, the front and the rear, with the axis of the middle two legs and wheels as the dividing point. When it encounters a large obstacle, it can also lift the front half of the body like a spider, and the back four legs are responsible for providing the power to move forward. , the front 2 legs are responsible for climbing upwards - these characteristics make it very similar to the way spiders move,

But traditional robotic rovers have other drawbacks. For example, people on Earth control the rover by remote control, which causes a 40-minute delay between each command and its return.

Therefore, it is very important to develop a robot that can completely self-control. It is almost impossible to control the progress of a 6-legged robotic insect through precise programming. Therefore, the research work on these insect bionic detectors But it is not simple at all, and it has failed many times before finally completing the follow-up design work.

After reading the design process of the landing detector, Kayla also understands why her boyfriend needs to spend so much on the investment in the laboratory. The various failed experiments here will cost a lot of money. , without enough funds and talents, it is absolutely impossible to complete the design of these detectors in such a short time, and success has never been so simple.
