Vol 2 Chapter 1031: Machine "human"

Humanoid robots can also be called humanoid robots.
Refers to a robot designed and manufactured to imitate the shape and behavior of a human being a humanoid robot, which generally has humanoid limbs and head separately or at the same time.
It can be said that since the concept or idea of ​​a robot, humans have always been eager to create such a humanoid robot.
After being used, it has the same body and appearance as our human beings, with skin, hair, eyes, nose, mouth and ears, and even body temperature.
Acting as flexible as humans, and smarter than humans, should have independent self-awareness.
This is of course a beautiful imagination of people, almost in everyone's first impression, robots should be like this.
Numerous films and TV dramas are also tirelessly shaping the image of robots in everyone's minds, and the classic robot roles in these film and television works have become the appearance of robots in everyone's minds.
However, it is still difficult to make such a robot with the current technology on earth.
There are many types of robots, which are generally designed into different shapes according to different application requirements, such as robotic arms, wheelchair robots, and walking robots used in industry.
The research of humanoid robots integrates many sciences such as machinery, electronics, computers, materials, sensors, and control technology, and it can be said to represent the high-tech development level of a country.
Judging from the current research status of robotics and artificial intelligence, there is still a long way to go to fully realize highly intelligent and highly flexible humanoid robots.
Moreover, humans do not have a thorough understanding of themselves, let alone make such humanoid robots.
At present, the best in humanoid robots should be the Japanese, and Boston Dynamics from the United States.
The Japanese country may have a strong XX cultural influence with itself, so it is mainly engaged in the research of humanoid robots, and the robots that are made are as realistic as possible. Especially in the micro-expressions and the artificial skin, Waguo has always been in front.
As for Boston Dynamics, as long as the company's name cares a little about technology information, you will definitely know it.
This is a technology company specializing in the research and development of robotics. It has launched many amazing robot products, such as the earliest robotic mule, robotic dog, and amazing robots.
The robot is a high-simulation humanoid robot developed by Boston Dynamics. Its appearance is similar to human limbs. It can simulate human body movements, such as walking, running, long jump, height adjustment, and even actively avoiding obstacles. Overcome obstacles. What is even more jaw-dropping is that it can actually do a backflip, which even ordinary people can't do.
Whether this robot is strong or not, it is naturally strong. Its posture control, limb movement and balance ability are very good.
But this is nothing more, this is just the basis of humanoid robots, it can be said to be the basis of the foundation.
We not only want this humanoid robot to be able to move as flexibly as normal people, but also to do things that normal people cannot do. Moreover, it must have the same thinking ability as humans, or even beyond humans.
In this way, it is very difficult.
In fact, Wu Hao and others have been developing in this area, and have been accumulating related technologies. For example, their smart robotic arms, smart bionic electronic prostheses, smart mechanical exoskeletons, including the smart pattern recognition technology used by drones, and even the earliest smart voice assistants, etc.
These can all be applied to humanoid robots, but these alone are not enough. This is a very complex systematic project that requires further in-depth research.
In addition to the basic aspects, Wu Hao and all the companies and scientific research teams engaged in the research of such humanoid robots are also subject to ethical tests at all times.
Should robots be self-aware? This is also a question that is being debated all over the world. Of course, as a technology company, in line with the principle of responsibility, Wu Hao has always been very conservative in this regard, that is, any unauthorized research on artificial intelligence self-awareness is prohibited in the company.
Before human society is ready, research in this area must be cautious. People are not ready to accept the emergence of such robots.
Of course, in addition to this kind of strong artificial intelligence, scientists now also propose a weak artificial intelligence, which is widely used in the industrial field.
What is weak artificial intelligence? It refers to those intelligent machines that can't make real reasoning and problem-solving. These machines seem to be intelligent, but they don't really have intelligence or have autonomous consciousness.
In other words, this is a non-self-aware and obedient intelligent machine, similar to the computers or mobile phones we are still using.
Scientists have also applied this kind of weak artificial intelligence to this kind of humanoid robot, trying to create a humanoid robot that can understand human instructions and can completely obey, replacing human work.
At present, a lot of work in this field is thinking about research. For example, the aforementioned Wo country, they have been engaged in research in this field, and strive to be able to produce humanoid robots that can be fake in appearance, even in activities, and micro-expression.
Experts in the country hope that this lifelike humanoid robot can replace humans in some tasks. Such as service work, serving as a hotel restaurant attendant, family nanny, or even a personal partner, etc.
As for related companies in the United States, they have been committed to research on humanoid robots, or the militarization of such intelligent robots.
For the Americans, apart from stocks, the most profitable thing is arms. So the most advanced technology is often used in the military. And for a country that likes to fight and wars, it hopes that every war can be won, and at the least cost.
And this kind of humanoid robot can be a good substitute for the soldiers of the rice army and put into battle on the battlefield. Therefore, we attach great importance to this area. Many well-known robotics research companies have funding from Mi Jun.
As for our domestic, we have been committed to the research work of industrial robots. As labor costs in our country continue to rise, major companies have been engaged in research on robots that can replace workers. Therefore, it has been at the forefront of society in this regard.
It's just that humanoid robots are far from enough attention, and it may also be related to the huge investment in this project.
For Wu Hao and the others, the investment in this project is huge, and it will definitely require a long investment research cycle. It is difficult to see relevant results in a short time.
However, as Wu Hao said, don't worry about this matter, take your time.
