Chapter 478: Radiance Research Institute
Guanghui Film and Television is an important chess piece of Guanghui Group's layout of the cultural and entertainment industry, so Jiang Hui has arranged a lot of projects for them today.
Then Jiang Hui went to a company with very low exposure and relatively mysterious, that is, the Radiance Research Institute.
The term research institute comes from the history of scientific development in modern times, and in the academic world, it is called a research institution for scientific experiments.
As the name suggests, the mission of the Korn Ferry Research Institute is to develop and test some forward-looking projects to provide sufficient food for the long-term development of the Korn Ferry Group.
Different from the research centers of the group's companies, the Guanghui Research Institute mainly studies projects that are not involved in the Guanghui Group for the time being, but are very promising in the future.
Combined with the scientific research hotspots of later generations, Jiang Hui initially set up eight project teams for the Guanghui Research Institute, which are responsible for artificial intelligence, graphene, virtual reality, wearable devices, intelligent robots, unmanned driving, 3D printing and smart home.
Artificial intelligence is an extremely challenging science, and those who do it must be computer literate, psychological, and philosophical. Artificial intelligence is a very broad science, it is composed of different fields, such as machine learning, computer vision, etc., in general, one of the main goals of AI research is to enable machines to do some complex tasks that usually require human intelligence to complete. This technology has been developed and can be used not only in the factories of Guanghui drones and Guanghui mobile phones, but also in enterprises such as Guanghui data centers.
Graphene is one of the strongest materials known, but it also has good toughness and can be bent. Graphene is of special significance to the fundamental research of physics, as it enables some quantum effects that could only be demonstrated theoretically through experiments. At the same time, graphene can be used in various fields such as new energy batteries, aerospace, transistors, and photosensitive devices, and can be said to be the most promising material in more than ten years.
Although Jiang Hui is not sure whether the Guanghui Research Institute can finally make a breakthrough in this area, at least he can get the admission ticket for graphene in advance by starting the layout now.
As for virtual reality, which is also the so-called VR, it is actually a computer simulation system that can create and experience the virtual world, which uses the computer to generate a simulation environment, which is a multi-source information fusion, interactive three-dimensional dynamic vision and physical behavior system simulation to immerse users in the environment.
VR has a wide range of applications in medical, interior design, aerospace and other fields. For Korn Ferry, the most likely to start using VR first is Korn Ferry Games.
The rich sensory capabilities and 3D display environment make VR an ideal tool for video games. This is because in terms of entertainment, everyone's requirements for VR realism are relatively not too high, and in a few years, VR will inevitably develop very rapidly in games.
As for wearable devices, this is a forward-looking research project prepared by Jiang Hui for Guanghui mobile phones in advance. Wearable devices, in Jiang Hui's view, are not a category. It's more like an upgrade of traditional things: watches are upgraded to smart watches, rings are upgraded to smart rings, and sneakers are upgraded to smart sneakers. There will always be people who don't wear watches, people who don't wear rings, people who don't wear sneakers, but again, there are still people who wear watches, rings, and sneakers. Combining this piece of content with Guanghui mobile phones, it will inevitably be a considerable market.
For the rest of the intelligent robots, so far, there is no unified definition of intelligent robots in the world. Most experts believe that intelligent robots must have at least the following three elements: one is the sensory element, which is used to recognize the state of the surrounding environment, the second is the movement element, which reacts to the outside world, and the third is the thinking element, which thinks about what kind of action to use according to the information obtained by the sensory element.
The ideal intelligent robot is able to understand human language, use human language to talk to the operator, and form a detailed pattern of the external environment - the actual situation that enables it to "live" in its own "consciousness". It analyzes the situation as it arises, adjusts its movements to meet all the requirements of the operator, formulates the desired movements, and completes them in the absence of sufficient information and in the context of rapidly changing environments.
Of course, today's intelligent robots are still far from the ideal state. Jiang Hui just hopes that the Guanghui Research Institute can enter this field in advance and thoroughly understand the industrial robot technology first. At that time, there will be a large demand in the production workshops of Guanghui mobile phones and Guanghui automobiles.
Jiang Hui is also considering whether to buy the German Kuka, but in the future, this company was acquired by the Midea Company of the Celestial Empire, which shows that in the eyes of the boss of Kuka, it is not for sale. Of course, the acquisition should be done step by step, and it is always not wrong to let the Guanghui Research Institute specialize in intelligent robots first.
In terms of unmanned driving and 3D printing, it is also a forward-looking project, and it is difficult to put it into practical use on a large scale within ten years. However, it will be difficult to say after twenty years, so Jiang Hui also made some layouts in advance.
The last smart home, in fact, has a certain intersection with wearable devices, intelligent robots and other projects, and it is also the easiest to put into practical use.
Smart home is a residential platform, the use of integrated wiring technology, network communication technology, security technology, automatic control technology, audio and video technology to integrate home life-related facilities, build an efficient residential facilities and family schedule management system, improve home safety, convenience, comfort, artistry, and achieve environmental protection and energy-saving living environment.
The concept of smart home originated very early, but there has been no specific building case, until 1984, when the United Technology Corporation of the United States applied the concept of building equipment informatization and integration to Hartford, Connecticut, the first "intelligent building" appeared, which opened the prelude to the world's scramble to build smart home.
As an enterprise involved in both the Internet and industry, Guanghui mobile phones, Guanghui data centers and future wearable devices can be integrated with smart homes to create a new development path for the group.
Although so many projects have been laid out, the Guanghui Research Institute is still just starting after all, and there are only more than 100 people in the entire research institute, which is still a big gap from the scene of tens of thousands of people promoting dozens of projects together in Jiang Hui's imagination. In terms of staffing, it is far from meeting the requirements, so now Jiang Hui has asked Liu Chujing to concurrently serve as the vice president of the Guanghui Research Institute, responsible for talent recruitment and other responsibilities.
Whether it is artificial intelligence, wearable devices, or intelligent robots, many projects take time to accumulate, even with Jiang Hui, a reborn person, it still has to be done step by step.
It can only be said that it will accumulate slowly first, and accumulate steadily.
