Gu Biao first briefly introduced the development history of the industrial robot industry:

The German Kuka company developed the FAMULUS model in 73 years, but that thing only has a CNC robotic arm and even the corresponding programming device, which is actually not a complete version of the industrial robot on the production line.

It was not until 1976 that KUKA further figured out and solved the problem of servo motor starting efficiency during the variable speed operation of the robotic arm, which was considered to have completely put the industrial robot into the actual production line.

These details themselves, in fact, Gu Wei's research group comrades-in-arms do not need to understand everything, the reason why they say these is nothing more than to tell them - this thing is very awesome, the Germans only made it 7 years ago, and it was officially put into the industrial production of the automated workshop 4 years ago.

Ye Kun, Yang Xin and others hurriedly looked through the information given by Gu Biao, and at the same time calculated at a high speed in their minds, and then discovered the problem.

When Americans organize the barrel, there is a relatively simple and crude principle of drawing lines:

That is, those core technologies that are helpful to industrial processing capacity and military technology level, as long as they are new technologies developed by the Western world in the last 10 years, are generally classified as red zones. If it was made 11~15 years ago, it is generally classified as a gray area.

As mentioned earlier, in the field of engine engines, the 9B and later are all red zones, and I think the Soviets can't get it, while the TF-39A before is considered to be a gray zone, but China and other countries can't get it.

After the rough line is drawn according to the number of years, the coordinator of the barrel will also play with the representatives of relevant enterprises, according to the actual situation of the industry, or relaxed, or tightened. Therefore, the final specific scale is not a generalization.

And the German KUKA industrial robot that Gu Biao said just now has only been out for 7 years, and no matter how you look at it, it should be an absolute red zone technology.

Now the list shows that it is only at a critical position at the top of the gray zone.

"What's going on? With such an advanced technology as an industrial robot, why is it classified as a gray zone?" Ye Kun took the lead in asking a question, "Could it be that the Lobby team of the German KUKA company has a particularly strong mediation ability?"

This is her preliminary judgment based on her experience in lobbying and supervising large enterprises in Europe and the United States.

And before Mina could react, she humbly asked for advice: "Sister Ye, can you explain? I don't understand what you mean." ”

Ye Kun calmly brushed his sideburns and analyzed a wave: "Mina, you don't know anything about the situation in the West. Those developed capitals pay attention to the country, we can't generalize, think that they are monolithic internally, but in fact, the intrigue is very powerful.

The performance of the coordinators of the barrel is based on the fact that more high-tech exports are stuck, and the more they are stuck, the more they can be promoted and make a fortune. But the interest of companies is to increase the exportable market, and who wants to export their products to fewer and fewer countries?

It's a bit like in a tech company, where the R&D department and the testing department are often on the same page. There are even some despicable CEOs who have mastered the mental skills of Emperor ANG, who like to let the R&D department and the testing department use opposing KPIs - so much money in total, if there is no problem, the bonus will go to the R&D department, and if the problem is detected, let the testing department take part of the money from the bonus that the R&D department should have received.

And the relationship between the coordinator and the business company is also so bad. They have fierce games and competition for the distribution of interests, and you can't compare our society with the attention of the country, the whole country, a game of chess, and the unity of all people. ”

Mina suddenly realized, and then spat in disgust: "Phew! It's still taught right in the history books! This is the two-sided nature of the asset level! For the sake of his own petty profits, he is not patriotic at all!"

After spitting, Mina realized that she had interrupted Ye Su's question just now, and hurriedly turned to Gu Wei: "Ah, Senior Gu, I shouldn't have interjected, you continue to answer Sister Ye's question just now~"

Gu Biao and the others calmed down, cleared their throats, and knocked on the blackboard: "Mr. Ye's question just now is very good: why can the technology of KUKA robots be classified as a gray area in only 7 years?

That's because the current industrial automation technology is only conducive to improving industrial production efficiency and saving the use of workers. However, it does not help significantly in terms of improving machining accuracy and creating things that could not be made before.

The significance of the existence of the barrel is mainly to "ensure that what the Soviets and Chinese could not make in the past cannot be made under the blockade", for the technology that can be made, but the efficiency is different, the barrel feels that it is not so important, and the control is relatively not strict. Because they know that the labor power of the workers of the state is not worth much in society, and that it is a factor of production that can be easily allocated by the price factor. ”

When Gu Biao said this, everyone suddenly realized.

For example, if in a few years, after the combination of CNC technology and five-axis linkage machine tools, in the eyes of Americans, is "five-axis / machining accuracy" more blockadable value for China, or "CNC" is more blockade value for China?

There is no doubt that Americans will choose precision over ease of use.

Because of the poor work on ease of use and humanization, you can rely on manpower. Train more eighth-level workers, and many things can be solved by a sea of people.

The reason why the control level of industrial robots and automated workshops is low is because the German Kuka company complained to Ba Barrel about a reality: in the United States and Germany, because the labor union is strong, the workers want this and that, the labor force is insufficient, and the labor cost is too high, so automation is valuable.

In 1980, there were 18 million unemployed/unemployed people in China's urban backlog, and this is still the case that more than 6 million educated youths have not yet returned to the city. It was these unemployments that became more and more severe, and it was only in '83 that YD became worse after law and order.

And if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you digest all the 24 million, China can still let migrant workers enter the city in advance.

Once the ban on 700 million farmers is lifted......

The Americans were stupid to specifically restrain the flow of these technologies into China.

In addition, there are still several technical difficulties in the starting characteristics of industrial robots that have not been solved, such as brushless motors or something. As a result, the Americans did not see the potential of this technology and precision machining centers to complement each other, and naturally only regarded it as something that "just saved a little labor".

……

At this point, everyone finally has a clear understanding of why this technology "will be useful in the future, but it has not yet shown potential, and at the same time, Americans do not pay attention to the blockade, and it is very likely to buy it".

The next step is to go back to Gu Biao's original question and discuss "why introduce de facto industrial robot technology in the name of developing 'photographic robots'".

Gu Biao continued: "I only need to explain the principle of the photographic robot, and you will understand: KUKA has tried to combine the camera with the robotic arm of an industrial robot on paper.

As a result, the camera movement and camera movement can be precisely controlled through programming. Realize the automatic and precise control of the shooting camera position by the director and the cameraman, and there will be no more complex camera movement coordination errors.

Therefore, this thing is actually similar to the automated robotic arm of industrial robots, except that the work department is a camera. It's just that for various reasons, in countries such as Germany and the United States, these technologies are not allowed to be further developed due to policy and legal restrictions.

But I think that KUKA will not be willing to wait for death, if we extend an olive branch, promise benefits, and seek cooperation in the name of Xiangjiang or other regional companies, they will even become accomplices to help us break through the barrel - of course, not in the name of the mainland, after all, we do not have a "patent law", and any foreigners who cooperate in research and development will not trust us. ”

"Why are the laws of the United States and Germany not allowed to develop this kind of technology? Isn't this self-weakening?" This time, even Ye Kun, who is familiar with American law, did not understand.

Gu Biao: "It's very simple, in 1976, after KUKA put it into the production line for the first time, there was a production accident the following year - a worker who provided material loading and unloading for the production line was hit by a robotic arm waved according to the program when he was loading materials on the production line, and died on the spot.

Since then, various countries in the West with relatively perfect worker protection have urgently legislated, requiring all industrial robots to operate in unmanned workshops, and industrial robots are not allowed to work on all occasions of man-machine mixed operations.

At the same time, industrial robots are not allowed in all other areas of work where robots work together, unless the robot has the ability to automatically stop work when it detects the danger of injuring humans.

And KUKA is obviously not able to do it with its current technology. However, the photography industry is the most typical occasion for human-machine close interaction. The director, the cinematographer, the star, all stand next to the camera. If such a person is stoned to death, his life is too valuable, how can the laws of the United States and other countries still allow research and development? Even if there is a probability of one in a million, it will not be allowed to be launched.

That's where our strengths come in. Nowadays, in the Special Economic Zone, there are not a few construction workers under a skyscraper on one floor in three days. Our regulations are not as draconian, and this is the natural soil in which we develop dangerous technologies.

Just as the United States has lagged behind developing countries in recent years, why was the first heart transplant performed in South Africa and not in the United States, where conditions are best, and why was it done by an American doctor who fled to South Africa to fulfill his ambitions?

It is because the FDA is overkill and is too strict in terms of people's safety. So the craziest scientists in the tech giants would like to have a more relaxed and free environment!"

Gu Biao's words made everyone's blood boil.

"But...... Doesn't it seem that our workers and actors are in more danger?, but the society pays attention to the country......" Mina was a little unbearable, and always felt that something was wrong with Senior Gu's words.

Fortunately, Ye Kun immediately refuted her: "This is not called letting workers and actors take risks. This is because our workers are the masters of the country, they have a strong sense of ownership and are willing to dedicate themselves to the country!

The workers of US imperialism want this and that because they are oppressed. They don't regard the country as their own home, of course they have to worry about it!"

"Yes, I see, I'm ashamed that I actually said something with such a low level of consciousness. Mina couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Gu Biao patted Mina's shoulder and encouraged with a very charismatic smile: "Don't take it to heart, it's just that the angle of observation is different, I know that Mina is a good comrade."

Take the photographic robot as an example, isn't it possible that when the robotic arm gets out of control, it will be smashed by the machine! What's the big deal! I, Gu Biao, am the son of a worker! I am willing to take the risk with the mentality of a master! In the future, when the machine is brought back, I will be the first to fiddle with it, and even if I am smashed, I will be considered to be contributing to the motherland!"

Gu Biao's beautiful words of glory and righteousness immediately made Mina reveal an admiring cross starlight eye, and she couldn't wait to sing the song "Workers have power" immediately.
