Lan Caiyi has been very busy these days. In addition to mobilizing management personnel to organize workers to resume work, the most important thing is to let people design the appearance of the sweeping robot.
Mechanical design is not something ordinary designers can do. In addition to good-looking, practicality and functional maneuverability must be considered. Fortunately, there is the broken white of the square circle as a reference. Although it is ugly, it is designed according to that size and data. It should be correct, the rest is the later debugging.
Although Lantian Machinery Factory used to be an OEM, it also has its own design department. It is usually relatively idle, but they are all old employees. Although most of them are mixed up, they still have some level, but they have an old vision. Not keeping up with the trend.
Therefore, Lan Caiyi recruited two new people to be responsible for the appearance design, and the old staff responsible for the parameter and function design. Today is the day for them to submit the paper.
Caiyi drove her red flag to the entrance of the factory. The security guard opened the door for her all the way. The car originally belonged to Father Lan and everyone in the factory knew it.
Lan Caiyi drove the car directly downstairs to the design department. The design department has a detached house, which was built by Grandpa Lan Caiyi. Although it is a bit old now, the environment is still very good. There are flowers and trees, and the environment is elegant.
Lan Caiyi walked in and saw some forty-something bald uncles discussing something loudly around two young computers.
"How is it? Have everything been designed?" Lan Caiyi interrupted them aloud.
"Mr. Lan is here? Everything is ready." A slightly older middle-aged man greeted him, put a thermos cup with wolfberry in his hand on the table, and then found two drawings from under the table and spread them out on the table. He is the oldest employee in the design department, Zhou Liangzhou designer.
Lan Caiyi glanced at the drawings. She didn't understand the parameters or the parameters on the drawings very well. After all, she majored in economics, so she focused only on the appearance, which did not conform to the aesthetics. After all, people who buy things now must first look at the appearance.
The appearance of the two designed sweeping robots is very different from the oblate robots on the market.
One round, one dish.
The circle is like a football. After starting, the lower hemisphere will expand to form eight small paws. The upper hemisphere with the camera can rotate 360 degrees, which is cute and cute.
Butterflies are much cooler, full of technology, a bit like flying saucers in science fiction movies.
There are two kinds of appearances, men and women, which are also required by Lan Caiyi, and it seems that they are doing well.
"Any samples?" Lan Caiyi asked after dropping the drawing in her hand.
"Yes, yes." Zhou Liang said to the crowd around, "Go and bring things to Mr. Lan."
Two young men immediately walked out of the crowd. They were the two newcomers that Lan Caiyi had just recruited. The short and stout one was named Shi Weimin, and the tall and thin one with eyes was named Tang Kejing. They were both freshly graduated college students. They were originally ambitious. After a career, I didn't expect to run into a wall everywhere, so I couldn't be recruited by Lan Caiyi, naturally full of energy.
"Mr. Lan, I don't know if I should ask if there is a sentence." In the gap between two lad-like samples, Zhou Liang hesitated to speak but stopped.
"Just say what you want? It's an old man from the company. You know what kind of person I am." Lan Caiyi said the truth. At that time, Grandpa Lan was still there. She often came to the factory to play, so I am familiar with everyone.
When Zhou Liang heard this, he said, “Although I don’t know Mr. Lan’s specific thoughts, these two things just look beautiful. If there is no corresponding driver, they are a big toy. I feel that many of Mr. Lan’s ideas are based on imagination. Come out, let’s not say that our factory does not have such R&D capabilities..."
Zhou Liang was still waiting to say that at this time, Shi Weimin and the two came back with a large cardboard box each, so they closed their mouths.
"Does the tester have a reserved port?" Lan Caiyi put the laptop bag she had been carrying on the table.
"Not only does the interface remain, but it also supports Bluetooth and wireless WIFI transmission." Zhou Liang just said in a hurry. This is something Lan Caiyi specifically explained. How could he forget it.
"In this case, I will let you see what a genius invention is." Lan Caiyi said proudly.
The installation program designed by Fangyuan has been installed in Lan Caiyi's notebook. In order to facilitate her use, it can be said to be very foolish. Besides, Lan Caiyi is not a fool.
The first installation is the circular robot, the installation speed is very fast, about a few minutes to complete.
In the eyes of everyone's doubts and suspicion, Lan Caiyi pressed the start button of the circular sweeping robot, and the two lovely big eyes were immediately lit, emitting a light blue light, and it first turned around. After sweeping his eyes up and down, he said: "Hello, I am a robot vacuum cleaner. I was just born. I need you to give me a name so that I can understand you. Please read the robot cleaner and your name clearly. Come out, you can name it successfully." The voice is also a cute childlike voice, just like a six or seven year old child.
Although Lan Caiyi had seen Xiaobai in Fangyuan's house, it was considered a finished product. She didn't expect that there was such a setting for the first time, so she looked at the chubby sweeping robot, and she gave a mischievous smile, "Little Yuan, Robot vacuum cleaner Madoka."
The sweeping robot reacted immediately, blinking with big eyes twice, and then made a sound again, "I am the sweeping robot Madoka, if you have any instructions, please start with the small circle to tell me, otherwise I can’t recognize it, I’m still too young I'm not smart enough, sorry..."
Everyone was surprised when they heard the words, this is too powerful, it even made people feel sad in its voice.
"Mado, help me clean up the sanitation on the floor." Lan Caiyi continued to order.
"Okay, Madoka is happy to serve you." Madoka's big eyes flickered two lines, and then she saw her small paws that had been retracted immediately stretched out and crawled toward the edge of the table.
Just when everyone was worried that it would fall, it suddenly stopped, "Maiduan climbed too high, it is very dangerous, can you hold it down? I'm a little scared."
The voice seemed to be a child acting like an adult, Lan Caiyi smiled and hugged it down.
"Thank you." When Lan Caiyi put it on the ground, it politely expressed its thanks!
Then its round head looked around and sighed deeply, "Why is it so dirty? I'm so small. This is going to exhaust me. Can I not work? I just want to plug in to sleep. feel……."
Although it kept complaining, it quickly crawled towards the place with trash, and quickly sucked the scraps of paper and cigarette butts on the ground into its bulging belly.
The key is that there is no collision in the complex terrain like the office, and its crawling route is the optimal route.
Everyone is a mechanic, and you can see the technical content at a glance.
But this is not the end, and I listened to Lan Caiyi said: "This sweeper is not perfect. After all, it cannot be as smart as a human. There are still dead spots and places that cannot be cleaned. So we need to design an APP. The APP marks those places that have not been cleaned, and which places have not been cleaned, and can also set its character, voice, and language through the APP."
Everyone was amazed by the idea of this genius, and also shocked by Madoka's intelligence.
"Of course, before that, we must first obtain the voice authorization from Xunfei."
At the beginning, Fangyuan didn't design a voice module, and the workload was too much. Besides, he couldn't do it alone. It didn't matter for his own use, but it needed authorization for commercial use.
