Chapter 306: Absolute safety is important

When the ten prototypes were brought to the company, they immediately attracted the attention of these employees with an average age similar to Ye Qing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hearing Ye Qing say that this is one of the new products that the company is expected to launch, and to test it, employees are scrambling to put on alloy operation suits.

Finally, the main test task fell in the remote operation room of the transit warehouse.

These employees have a lot of operating experience, they just put on the alloy operation suit, can control the robot to do some simple actions, familiar with a while, ten robots in the office area, patrol dogs around around.

"Is anyone going to pour water?"

"Don't move, let me do this garbage basket. ”

"Give me this document, you're busy with yours. ”

They volunteered to do the work, but unfortunately after messing up two things, they could only obediently shrink into the corner and use brooms and tea sets to entertain themselves.

The wisdom of the masses is endless, and after hours of practice, they can barely do simple tasks such as serving tea and pouring water, and delivering documents.

Then they unfolded their brains and began to test more advanced skills.

Some people are controlling the robot to write, and some people are contributing their own notebooks, controlling the robot to rest their hands on the keyboard and mouse, and practice typing in a serious way. And grab a pair of scissors and tremble to prune potted plants.

In the afternoon, these staff members who have been testing the prototype non-stop and sending out a large number of experience reports.

At this time, these reports were being placed on the conference table, and Ye Qing and several managers held a meeting to discuss them.

If......

According to the score of 100, the employees who participated in the test can only give a maximum of 40 points.

The report identifies the three most important issues to be addressed, and dozens of others that need to be improved.

The first is the operating distance.

The remote control equipment uses radio signals in the 2400–2483 MHz band, which has the advantage of large data transmission in a short distance, but once the distance exceeds 100 meters, the robot will appear similar to the video of the stuttering scene.

If you move your finger, it may take a second on the robot's side to move halfway, or it may not react at all.

If you remotely control the robot within a hundred meters, it seems that you don't need to do anything more, you can walk over it yourself and do it yourself.

Of course, this is only a prototype, and no auxiliary equipment has been installed yet. Through the ubiquitous wireless network, or 4G network, there is no technical difficulty at all to remotely control the robot thousands of miles away.

The second is the problem of sending back the display screen.

Observing the surrounding environment of the robot through an 8-inch monitor on the waist, or controlling the robot, it is very easy to predict the wrong position.

For example, when the robot is controlled to reach out for soap, it feels half a meter away, but it is actually close at hand, and it can be touched with a little stretch of hand.

For the same monitoring point, the larger the focal length, the closer the scene, and the smaller the focal length, the farther the scenery feels.

Equipped with smart focus, the VR camera with the function of simulating the human eye can be broken.

The third is the issue of battery power.

With a 10-minute autonomous power supply time, it can almost be judged that when it is far away from the power supply, it can only be reduced to a useless ornament.

This is because the robotic arm simulates human movement, which seems to be the simplest action, while the robotic arm has to involve all the stepper motors and the main joint hydraulic system.

There are also prototypes that are only equipped with a set of ordinary lithium-ion batteries, and if they use cobalt lithium batteries with higher energy density and a battery management system, the power supply time will be further improved.

However, this is not the focus of the meeting.

"Boss, this kind of robot has a lot to offer in the field of EOD, in the field of hazardous industry, and even in the medical field. Ji Ke, the manager of the network department, had a trace of solemnity on his brows, and said worriedly: "It's just that the core problem is how do we build a secure remote control network environment?"

"The last time the No. 46 robotic arm in the transit warehouse was hacked, we had to use physical isolation to prevent this from happening again.

"If ......"

"If we use a remote network connection, the chance of being hacked and trying to steal the operation is almost 100 percent. ”

"When robots are used in a home or industry, stealing remote access is the perfect way to commit a crime. It can even kill people......"

"Without 100 percent secure network control technology, we wouldn't be able to risk adding network control modules and probably wouldn't have been able to obtain product certifications. ”

"We can ask the Real Eye to help us improve our cybersecurity shortcomings. Kong Tao, the manager of the sales department, is full of expectations: "He is afraid that his life and safety will be threatened, so we can not announce the hiring of him in a very low-key manner, and we can also help him with a bodyguard." ”

The rest of the managers nodded their heads, the mysterious Eye of Truth was simply too powerful.

Since the last attack, the hackers haven't hacked into the company's network systems.

I don't know if it was scared, or if the security software left behind by the True Eye did its job. But either way, it proves the power of the True Eye!

Ye Qing also understands the importance of network security, and if this problem cannot be solved, robots will not be able to be put into the commercial market.

Of course, robots are not the only products, from the perspective of price and practicality, robots cannot be the same as Apple mobile phones, which can go deep into the lives of ordinary people.

However, in Ye Qing's vision, the research and development and commercialization of robots are very necessary, and the sooner they are put into the market, the more important it is to establish product reputation.

It's like a normal phone, in relation to a smartphone.

Once the monster factory has mastered a higher level of intelligent technology, through the reputation of the old robot in the market in the early days, it can completely trigger life-changing innovation on a global scale.

Before dinner, Ye Qing sent another email to the True Eye.

Now he should start school, and he is studying for graduate school at a university in China.

And the content of the email is simple:

"Is there an absolutely secure encrypted network communication in this world?"

Ye Qing received the reply from the True Eye, and it was already after dinner. At this time, Ye Qing was in a meeting, asking the company's employees to develop an improved second-generation prototype based on the problems found in the prototype.

Even if it is a non-intelligent robot, it has a broad enough market space.

This point is based on Ye Qing's investigation and analysis of common problems in life, and the affirmative answer is obtained.

After receiving the new email, Ye Qing opened his mobile phone mailbox and carefully checked the long reply sent by the True Eye.

"There is only a relatively secure network communication method, and there is no absolutely secure communication method. ”

"No matter how complex an electronic dongle is, it can't compare to a key lock. There is so much uncertainty in the software that almost all banking systems in the world have been attempted by hackers. ”

"There was a master in our country before, who successfully transferred 500,000 yuan to his account by using the internal network cable socket of the ATM machine. ”

"The only way to be absolutely safe is to start with the mechanics. (To be continued.) )
