Chapter 772: Harmony System!
"This regional airliner of COMAC is very similar to the model of Huaxia Fokker Company!"
Tanya, who was sitting next to Yang Jie, said.
"Fokker has participated in the design of the aerodynamic layout of this regional airliner, and has also purchased Fokker flight control software and improved it, so it is normal that the appearance is very similar. ”
Yang Jie explained with a smile: "Fokker is very mature in the flight control software of this pneumatic layout, there is no need to develop a new pneumatic layout, a new pneumatic layout needs at least five or six years to mature, and it is possible to use such a pneumatic layout and flight control software for several decades." ”
"Huaxia Fokker is also developing new aerodynamic layout and flight control software, right?" asked Tanya.
"Of course, we have to develop mainline aircraft with more than 150 seats, and the aerodynamic layout like Fokker before will not work, and we have to redesign the new aerodynamic layout and rewrite the flight control software. ”
Yang Jie said with a smile: "Over the years, we have been cooperating with Hongdu Group Company and Changhe Aircraft Manufacturing Company to develop flight control software, and I can proudly say that the best flight control software in China is Chengfei and us." ”
"Now we are also preparing to let the photoelectric flight control system gradually replace the previous fly-by-wire flight control system, because the use of optical fiber cable data transmission rate is higher, and is not affected by electromagnetic interference, in addition to the use of electric circuit to drive electric or electro-hydraulic actuators to replace the elimination of bulky hydraulic circuits, because these mechanism components can be made small, the aircraft can be equipped with several more sets of redundant power circuits, and the elimination of hydraulic circuits greatly reduces maintenance costs. ”
Because the expert technical teams of Huake Aviation Technology Company and Ruisheng Technology Company were all designing military aircraft before, the software written should allow the fighter to make many extreme maneuvers without losing control, while civil airliners are naturally not allowed to operate so fiercely for safety and comfort.
Huake Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. made a set of flight control software simulation test platform more than three years ago, and the flight control software developed by Huake Aviation Technology Company is also used in L15 advanced training aircraft and UAVs, but it is impossible for civilian ones to work in a strong electromagnetic environment like the military, and the cost is not worth it, so it is also beginning to develop a more reliable photoelectric flight control system.
In addition, Meixihu University, as the first university in China to establish artificial intelligence, has naturally begun to develop intelligent driving systems for a long time, with the aim of enhancing the control of emergency situations such as damage or failure in flight, including hydraulic system failure, rudder failure, aileron failure, engine failure and other extremely serious air failures.
The system was tested not only on a simulated test platform, but also with a badly damaged full-size drone, and it was tested many times, failing several times at the beginning, and the automatic landing was successfully carried out only in the first half of this year, and several tests were successful in the next few tests this year.
In this process, the intelligent driving system drove the damaged drone back by itself, and there was no intervention of technical personnel in the middle.
Of course, the intelligent driving system of this aircraft cannot be used on large passenger aircraft as soon as it comes up, so the UAV is an absolutely ideal technical test platform.
At this stage, no one will accept that the guest will be taken over by artificial intelligence, and the feeling of thinking about their lives in the hands of an artificial intelligence system will make most people feel very scary.
Although Boeing and Airbus have now added autonomous piloting functions to their planes to reduce the burden on pilots, this function is weak artificial intelligence, which is very different from the strong artificial intelligence developed by the technical team led by Bai Bing.
Bai Bing has also designed a set of very powerful deep learning programming and development tools, which is internally codenamed "HarmonyOS System".
This set of tool software has strong versatility, supports compatibility with a variety of excellent programming languages, only needs to add a small amount of handwritten code on top of the original code, this set of tool software will be through the establishment of modern black box optimization technology, its use of small batches of data for approximate inference, can be extended to large data sets, and can use advanced abstract concept expression to generate custom inference models.
This set of tools is very powerful, and it is also the most significant technical achievement of Bai Bing's research in artificial intelligence for more than eight years.
As long as you learn how to use this set of tools, you can automatically generate algorithm models in many fields, and the IQ of the produced algorithm models is very high.
In fact, even deep learning is now full of differences, and some R&D teams believe that artificial intelligence systems continue to accumulate experience, patches and patches to continuously improve the system, because the experience between machines can be synchronized without cost, and there will always be a day when it will be completed.
But Bai Bing disagrees with this point of view, she also deeply feels that the patch of the artificial intelligence system is impossible to be filled in the research and development process, and also believes that the cost of trial and error of an artificial intelligence system like this is too high, and it is necessary to iterate to create a smarter intelligent system, that is, to continuously improve the IQ of artificial intelligence, rather than increasing the amount of data learned.
It's a bit like Bai Bing and her tech team focusing on smart students, because smart students can surpass the effect of an average student doing 10,000 questions with only 10 practice questions.
Moreover, since the development of this tool software, it has been verified by various tests in the past few years, and the algorithm models generated by this tool software are indeed very smart.
Like this autonomous driving system mounted on the drone, if it is in the control of the aircraft, it is definitely an expert-level existence, because the learning object of this system is the top pilots in China.
Moreover, through the exchange of data with pilots, this system has been continuously upgraded, and by this year, the drone with such serious damage has barely been maintained for a successful landing, which even the top pilots may not be able to do every time.
The system uses the parameters of various sensors to make corrections very quickly, and strives to rescue the drone and achieve a successful landing, which is already a very high level of IQ.
But apart from this, this set of artificial intelligence algorithm models is an idiot in other fields, at most a super assistant.
Of course, this artificial intelligence system requires extremely powerful computing power, Loongson Semiconductor Company also deliberately designed and developed a set of artificial intelligence special processor chips, and Aihua Technology Company also racked its brains to stuff this set of supercomputers about the size of a desk into the drone.
The whole project has dropped more than ten drones in two years, and each fall is tens of millions, which is really distressing to Bai Bing.
Yang Jie was relieved by this, and the success rate of this intelligent driving system is already very high.
