The video materials they displayed were circulated on the Internet, causing an uproar.

In the video materials, Boston Dynamics Robotics mainly shows three types of robots, one is a robot dog, which is mainly used for mountain transportation, rescue and daily life assistance for people with disabilities.

In the demonstration video, the four legs of the robot dog can walk in coordination under the command of the intelligent chip, and there are no obstacles on flat roads, steep mountains, and even ice and snow grounds. Not only that, this robot dog can also carry heavy objects, can cross obstacles, and can open doors, jump and other actions.

The second type is the sports robot, which completely simulates the human form, can walk and run like a human, and not only that, but can also complete a variety of difficult sports.

For example, in the video, this sports robot can perform horizontal bar flips, pole vaults, shooting and other sports like athletes.

The third type is the mini office robot, which is no longer a bionic form, but a complete machine. But it can be applied to a variety of office scenarios and actions, such as making coffee, cleaning the floor or desk, printing, cropping, etc.

In fact, Boston Dynamics Robotics has been researching these robots for some years and has been at the forefront of the world. But this time, they have not only made more subtle progress in power, but also made amazing progress in intelligence.

They cooperate with Google, and Google provides them with intelligent services, so that these robots can listen to and "understand" human words, complete the instructions conveyed verbally by humans, and have a certain ability to judge, no longer the previously dull power robots, but intelligent power robots!

Seeing the video of the robot dog carrying heavy objects on the mountain, the robot doing gymnastics, and the office robot working, netizens were amazed.

Under the YouTube video, the comments of foreign netizens are all likes and pride.

"These robots are amazing! In the field of robotics, we are still at the forefront!"

"Amazing, these robots look like real people!"

"Oh my God, they're more flexible than I am!"

"Robots of the future will definitely replace humans!"

"When will I be able to make a robot girlfriend, my girlfriend is really annoying!"

……

In China, the reaction of netizens is similar.

"I already have a hunch that the First World War of Robots is about to begin!"

"I have to say, these robots are advanced!"

"I heard that Boston Power has a background in the U.S. military, what if they use robots in the war?"

"Why doesn't Hongxin Group build robots? Their intelligence is stronger!

"What if the robot fails?"

……

The impact of this incident is far from being as simple as a little heat on the Internet, not long after the relevant incident came out, the Huaxia National Defense Science and Technology Department found Hongxin Group.

In the secret conference room, Lu Zixin discussed with several important personnel from the national defense science and technology department.

"Boston Dynamics has been engaged in the development of military programs since it was spun off from MIT in 1992 and has received funding from DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) to provide military robotics and related technical consulting services to the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Army Forces, Navy Corps, and Marine Corps. The most prominent feature of the product is that it simulates human behavior, which is mainly used in the fields of defense mission testing and extreme environment rescue. ”

Someone from the Defense Science and Technology Department showed some Boston Dynamics materials and said, "The company's main orders are also from the U.S. military, and from what we've learned, they already have mature products in military production." It seems that the U.S. side has also increased its emphasis on this project and is ready to add research and manufacturing investment. ”

"The field of robotics is another major scientific and technological territory in the arms race. In this regard, our science and technology department is also studying, and at present, there is a gap with the United States. What we didn't expect was that their robot research was developing so rapidly, and speaking of which, it also had something to do with your Hongxin Group. ”

Lu Zixin hurriedly said: "We don't have any cooperation with them!"

"Of course we know that you misunderstood. A person from the Ministry of Defense Science and Technology said, "We are referring to the issue of science and technology promotion in related fields." ”

"Previously, there were two important factors restricting the development of power robots, one is the problem of power endurance, previously, their power robots consume a lot of energy and have a short battery life, so the US military has not paid much attention to it. Until the emergence of Hongxin Group's new battery technology, they solved this problem with a new battery with ultra-large energy storage. ”

"The second is machine intelligence. In recent years, artificial intelligence technology companies led by Hongxin Group have developed rapidly, and robot intelligence has been greatly improved. The cooperation between Flu Ton Power and Google has made robot intelligence at least a decade overdue! A combination of various factors has contributed to the development of their robotics technology. ”

Lu Zixin smiled bitterly and said: "This can only be said to be a chance meeting, after all, the emergence of every new technology may affect various industries." ”

"Yes, it's just a joke. The main purpose of our visit this time is to cooperate. Said someone from the Department of Defense Science and Technology.

"In the field of robotics?" Lu Zixin had already guessed most of it.

"That's right. The person from the national defense science and technology department continued, "We already have a certain research foundation for robot power. It seems that Hongxin Group also has its own technical strength in this regard. The most important thing is that in terms of robot intelligent systems, I have to admit that your strength is the best in the world. ”

"So we hope to cooperate with Hongxin Group to jointly develop a new generation of intelligent robots. ”

……

Many of the details of the negotiations are confidential and are not to be known to outsiders.

In the end, the two sides reached a cooperation agreement. The national defense science and technology department will separate a part of the team from a robot research department under its own, and then Hongxin Group will also divide the team of intelligent and mechanical power systems from its own subsidiary, and the two teams will jointly establish a new company jointly controlled by the military and Hongxin.

The new company will focus on the development and manufacturing of intelligent robots, focusing on civil, industrial and military applications.

The headquarters of the new company will also be set up in the city of the future.

Externally, this company does not directly hang the name of Hongxin Group, but calls it "Future City Intelligent Robot Technology Co., Ltd." Neither the military nor the Hongxin Group made a public announcement, so there was no news on the news, and almost no people knew that in the city of the future, an intelligent robot manufacturing company was established!
