Chapter 52 Preliminary Ideas About Transformers!
Callahan was a little surprised when he heard Lu Cheng's words:
"In this way, you seem to have been prepared for a long time. Tell me, what kind of robot are you going to do."
Lu Cheng knew that there were many types of robots.
Such as industrial robots, agricultural robots, household robots, service robots, military robots and so on.
Dabai, like the one invented by Masahiro Hamada, is even one of the service robots.
Lu Cheng thought about it carefully, what kind of robot is his Transformer?
"Uh, it's probably a home robot!"
Although the combat power of Transformers is on the table, in the human world, the first positioning is the vehicle!
It is not wrong to say that it is a home robot.
Callahan was not surprised.
For a newcomer in robotics, the difficulty of home robots can be regarded as the least.
Such as dishwasher robots, mopping robots, etc...
Just set up the relevant programs and let it operate according to a fixed process.
Almost no interaction with humans!
Interaction is one of the biggest difficulties for robots.
First of all, you need to build a huge database and set up various problems.
Even some advanced robots need to set a self-learning program.
otherwise--
Robots can easily become rigid and don't know how to work around them.
That is not a smart robot, but a mentally retarded robot.
To do this well, you need a combination of soft and hard.
It is necessary to understand not only mechanical technology, but also programming and information technology!
Second, there is the issue of motion accuracy.
Just getting the robot to avoid obstacles on its own is a challenge.
Most of the domestic robots do not need to consider these problems, which are very suitable for beginners.
"What kind of home robot are you going to do?" Callahan asked.
"Probably a deformable car!" Lu Cheng coughed dryly.
"..." Callahan.
You call this a home robot?
When Hamada heard Lu Cheng's idea, his eyes lit up:
"Car morphing, cool idea!"
"If you can make cars fly, maybe you can solve the problem of traffic congestion."
Lu Cheng smiled and said:
"I haven't thought about it yet, but your idea is good, maybe I will consider adding it to my Transformers."
Hamada Masa asked curiously:
"Transformers, is this your robot's name?"
Lu Cheng nodded:
"That's right."
Hamada is scratching his head and said:
"I also thought of a name for the robot, called Dabai, but it is still in the experimental stage. I am afraid it will take some time to make it."
Lu Cheng smiled:
"I believe that once Dabai comes out, it will definitely become the best medical robot in the world!"
Hamada's eyes brightened slightly:
"thanks for your encouragement."
Callahan said from the side:
"Fred, your idea is very creative, but it will be very difficult to make this robot!"
"It involves complex issues such as mechanics, physics, energy, programs, etc., and it is not suitable for beginners like you to try."
"Perhaps, you can try to do simple topic selection first."
He was worried that Lu Cheng's topic selection was too difficult, and in the end he was busy for a long time, but he still failed, which would damage Lu Cheng's self-confidence.
after all--
The motivation that supports a person's learning, in addition to interest, is the sense of achievement.
Just like going to bed, if you don't get the sense of accomplishment to conquer your partner for a long time, you will eventually become uninteresting.
Callahan has seen too many examples of such lofty ambitions.
so,
He didn't want Lu Cheng to repeat the same mistakes.
Lu Cheng said:
"Professor, haven't you always advocated exploring the limits of robots?"
"Our goal is to create the future. When it comes to choosing a topic, how can we retreat before we try?"
Callahan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a gratified smile:
"Fred, it's really cool that you can think of it this way. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why you can study cold fusion."
"I sincerely hope that you will succeed in your research."
"However, since this topic is extremely difficult, I must give you a deadline."
"Before the deadline, you have to design a complete production process, even a general model of Transformers."
"Otherwise, this topic will be terminated!"
Lu Cheng nodded:
"Okay, but when is the deadline?"
Callahan thought for a while and said:
"It will be the student science and technology exhibition in three months."
"Okay." Lu Cheng agreed directly.
He probably knew about the student tech fair.
This is a tech fair for geek college students.
Students can showcase their own techniques at this exhibition.
At that time.
There will be many business tycoons coming to participate!
Lu Cheng also took this opportunity to see if Transformers could be welcomed by the market.
However, Lu Cheng remembered that it seemed that it was during this technology exhibition that an explosion occurred, causing Masahiro Hamada to die.
Perhaps, he can change the fate of Hamada Masaru at that time.
Callahan looked at Lu Cheng and said:
"Well, if there is anything you don't understand during this time, you can come and ask me."
"I will." Lu Cheng nodded.
For Transformers, he actually has a preliminary idea now, and he can only make it after waiting for his technology to become a little more mature.
First, there is the problem of deformation.
Once this problem is solved, the rest will be much easier.
If you want to achieve perfect deformation, the first consideration is the material of production.
In this world, there is no Cyborg Steel in Cybertron, so it must be replaced by other materials.
As far as the current situation is concerned, it is necessary to meet the requirements of high strength, high hardness, and lightness and so on.
To have these properties, it must be an alloy.
Metals synthesized from aluminum, magnesium, and carbon can almost meet Lu Cheng's needs.
He knew that airplanes and F1 racing cars were made of these three metals as the main materials.
Secondly, there needs to be a reasonable deformation method.
This will prevent the person sitting in the car from being thrown out by the deformed car.
In this case, the auxiliary calculation of artificial intelligence is needed!
The last is the driver problem.
This is also the most complex, including energy conversion, part configuration, and more.
Need to wait for his knowledge of robotics to mature before conducting research.
Callahan nodded:
"Well, you can now follow Ah Zheng to visit the laboratory, choose an office location that you are satisfied with, and carry out the next research."
"I still have something to do, so I won't chat with you any more."
Hamada is looking at Lu Cheng:
"Fred, it just so happens that some partners are doing research in the laboratory. I'll take you there."
The two bid farewell to Callahan and went downstairs.
soon.
The two came to a laboratory on the far left of the second floor.
It is similar to a warehouse, the size of a basketball court.
There are various instruments in it.
People of all shapes and sizes are doing their own research carefully.
"Borrowed."
Just when Lu Cheng was visiting.
A figure riding a bicycle quickly passed by him.
The figure riding a bicycle took off his helmet, revealing the face of a royal sister.
ps: I want tickets and rewards, eh~
