Chapter 266

With the press conference reporters and lucky employees continuously releasing various working videos of home robots on the Internet, the popularity of this topic has not been reduced because of the new year, but has become more and more intense.

Many netizens only saw some scenes of robots working at the press conference. Later, they saw the application of robots in different scenes in various advertisements, and also saw the publicity videos produced by Cosmos technology company on the official website. But that was propaganda after all.

Advertising and the actual effect are not the same thing. Even those buyers who have placed orders are not without doubts. Now that we have seen so many videos of robots working in real scenes, these people who grab the orders in advance start to have a variety of online chatter and preach their wisdom and martial arts everywhere. This is the hot topic The sample was fried.

Of course, with such a strong momentum, how can those companies who are also developing robots not pay attention to it? The situation in China is better. After all, the technical level is there. It is not realistic to reach the technical height of cosmos technology company in a short time. Therefore, it is not urgent to buy a robot from these lucky people who have robots in advance Look, in any case, in a few days so many large-scale shipment, want to buy a few sets.

But those foreign companies don't think so. Many big companies' robotics technology is also very advanced, especially large high-tech companies like Google, Amazon, apple, Samsung and so on have invested a lot of money and energy in the field of robots.

There are many robot research projects like Google, and the most famous one is atlas robot.

Atlas is a humanoid robot with a height of 1.5 meters and a weight of nearly 75 kg. It has a head, trunk and limbs like a human, and "eyes" are two stereo sensors. Atlas was developed by Boston Dynamics, a company owned by Google. The product iteration of atlas has gone through three major release updates.

In May 2018, Boston Dynamics demonstrated an upgraded atlas humanoid robot that can jump on one leg.

There are also companies like Amazon, the latest news that Amazon is planning a home robot Vesta, which is expected to be launched in recent years.

According to the source, Vesta project has been planned for several years, only 18 years before it began to recruit talents. It is reported that lab126 website has published dozens of job advertisements for software engineer, robot engineer and sensor principle engineer.

The Vesta project is led by Greg Zehr, head of Amazon's lab126 hardware R & D department, which includes echo smart speakers, firetv set-top boxes, fire tablets and firephone phones.

As for configuration, Vesta robot will be equipped with HD camera, artificial intelligence technology, built-in Amazon Alexa, and can work with Amazon echo.

In fact, Amazon has been working hard in robotics for years. Among them, in March 2012, Amazon announced the purchase of kivasystem, a warehouse robot system, with $775 million in cash. After that, it added tens of thousands of robots to join the logistics work, which improved the logistics efficiency of Amazon by 2-4 times and the accuracy rate reached 99.99%. It also opened up the technology monopoly of machine man for many years.

Such companies are also ambitious to enter the humanoid home robot market, and it is not far from the time of technological breakthrough.

There are also countries with advanced robot technology, such as baga, Bangzi and Germany, which are also carrying out research and development of various humanoid robots. Some laboratories in some countries are even secretly developing military humanoid robots.

Although it is still in the laboratory research and development, but in terms of technology, it has also been in the world's leading level, so it is strange that a new company suddenly appears that can put the humanoid home robot into the market on a large scale!

Their humanoid robot under development is still a long way from being put into the market on a large scale. However, as long as there are imitation objects, the progress of technology is still very fast.

Therefore, time is very important for these companies, because other competitors will not delay. So foreign journalists who buy home robots quickly sell their robots to these companies. In addition to the attractive price of 30000-50000 US dollars, these companies also promised to give them exclusive interviews or exclusive news opportunities That's why no journalist can refuse such a offer.

After these big companies bought these robots, they immediately brought them into the laboratory, and various testing projects were launched simultaneously. We all want to know all kinds of data of these robots in the shortest time, which is detailed data, not the simple data published by Cosmos technology company.

"Incredible! How on earth did they design such a perfect robot! How can a robot achieve so many functions! Complete all kinds of actions that we can't even think of! " In a large lab at Google's Boston Dynamics, an expert stares at robots doing all kinds of housework according to their instructions."It's really a shocking product! It will take at least 5 years for our atlas robot to achieve this effect!

We must pay more attention to observation, although our own pride makes us not to imitate a product produced by Huaxia company, it will bring us inspiration that we did not have before, and can make our research work less detours!

The importance of time I believe I do not say that we all know! If we can't take out our own products in the shortest time, after this robot has completely occupied the market, our living space will be squeezed out!

What's more, other companies will do their best in this competition! The market is so big. If we can't give the company a satisfactory answer, it will be very difficult for our laboratory to obtain the funding from the company. We may also face the result of unemployment, so please make efforts!

The company will have the largest equipment support! The head office will also provide help. I hope you will work harder! "

Rodison, the director of the laboratory, seriously conveyed the company's attitude to the experts in the laboratory. To tell the truth, as the director of the laboratory, he is now under great pressure. Compared with the home robots of cosmos technology company, they have fallen far behind. The attention of the company and the head office makes him more stressed, not to mention there are so many competitors 。
