Chapter 399: Derpy Robot
The Skynet plan can't be said, but Henry does have the idea of vigorously developing robots.
The outside world has been hustle and bustle, and there are a lot of comments on the robot, some for which there is agreement and some who are against.
Henry held a press conference at Alpha and said, "What is success? To be a star, or to be a rich man? No, none of this is success!"
"In my opinion, it is the creation that makes humanity have a better future, and this is the !! success"
"Alpha's goal is to build robots for humans!"
"Some people say that building robots is a Skynet project, and in the future, robots will destroy humans. Actually, this is a complete fallacy. The robot is simply controlled by a program, and it can only do things according to the program's instructions. The only thing that can really destroy mankind is human beings themselves! Any science and technology that uses good will be good, and if it is used evil, it will be evil! !"
"Alpha has been committed to the research of robots, and will produce a variety of robots, including medical robots, military robots, disability robots, cleaning robots, warehouse robots, etc. ”
"At the same time, we at Alpha have developed a warehouse robot, which will be released in the near future. And Nicholas Express has placed an order with Alpha for 1,000 warehouse robots. ”
"On top of that, I had ICQ work with Alpha to produce a robotic pet. Siri is known to be a cloud-based AI program with powerful speech recognition and semantic understanding success. So, what we're going to develop is an intelligent conversational bot called 'Derpy Robot'. Derpy not only answers the user's questions, but also communicates and interacts with the user emotionally, and even builds friendships. ”
"Derpy Robot has the most advanced evolutionary algorithms, and we will build a permanent database for every user's Derpy Robot, so the longer you interact with it, the more intelligent it will become, and when the robot manufacturing technology is improved in the future, we can also replace its body, even if it is laundry, cooking, cleaning, playing video games with you, etc.! ”
"They're going to be more than just robot pets, I'm sure every robot Derpy will be one of the most important members of every family, and they'll be your loved ones!"
After Henry finished speaking, the audience applauded. The reporters were shocked beyond measure, if it was really to be realized, wouldn't Derpy the Robot become an indispensable thing in every family, and as time passed, its position in the family will become more and more important, almost inseparable!!
Humans will fall in love with pets for a long time, and naturally humans are the same for robots!
Henry Williams really played a big game of chess!!
At that time, ICQ hired more than 30,000 translators to correct and enhance Siri's speech recognition and semantic understanding capabilities!!
Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, only Henry Williams had such wealth and courage. Coupled with the fact that ICQ is also a human chat software, Siri's development has a unique advantage!
Looking at other companies' AI, they are so different from Siri that it would take more than a decade to catch up with Siri's current level!
The video of Alpha's press conference went online and soon had more than a million views.
The front page of the newspaper was headlined with "Derpy Robot"!
Major TV stations around the world have invited experts and professors to analyze this matter.
For a while, the world was flooded with news of "robot derpy".
Alpha gets busy, and the phone is flooded, almost all of them asking how much Derpy the robot costs and they want to buy one. In fact, the project has only just been established. It wasn't until Henry came to Alpha that he decided to develop Derpy Robots, and this time he decided to build wheeled mobile robots instead of multi-legged robots. The reason for this is simple, it is easier to make wheeled mobile robots, and the other is safety. And the multi-legged robot will fall from time to time, not afraid of being broken?! Under the condition that the robot technology is not advanced and mature enough, it is obvious that the wheeled mobile robot is the best choice!
One of the key points in manufacturing robots is: positioning.
Previously, the big dog robot used a visual positioning system, that is, it was shot by a camera, and then analyzed the image to construct a three-dimensional figure, so as to calculate the target distance and realize the positioning function. It's clear which direction the robot should go, how it should go, and how far it should go.
But Derpy the Robot is a voice robot, and if Derpy the Robot is in the lobby and the user calls him over in the kitchen, then Derpy must not only understand the meaning of this sentence, but also know where the sound is coming from, so he must have an auditory positioning system!
The key to the auditory localization system lies in the localization of sound sources, especially the identification and separation of multiple moving sound sources. This means that Derpy the robot must be able to recognize multiple sound sources at the same time and then act on their commands.
So, if you want to develop Derpy Robot, I'm afraid it will take a long time. For those who are anxious to buy Derpy, Henry can only say sorry and let them wait a year or two......
However, since everyone has an urgent need, how can Henry not meet them? For example, it is relatively easy to develop a miniature "Derpy Robot", what about the features...... It's just like the Siri software on the iPhone in the previous life. However, Derpy the robot is designed to be a little more cute, with two big blue eyes that glow cutely. It will be slightly larger than a remote-controlled toy car, and the user can control it to walk through a special remote control. Of course, the biggest selling point of Derpy Robot is Siri, which can relieve boredom and chat with users. In fact, Henry gave the name "Derpy the Robot" in order to get vaccinated in advance. Derpy, Derpy, isn't that a bit of a goof-header, so it's normal for Derpy the Robot to be stupid while chatting......
