Just as Liang Yu took his girlfriend to the magic capital in a leisurely way of walking all the way and eating all the way, the organizing committee of the Asia-Pacific Youth Robot Competition was busy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the organizer of the competition, the organizing committee is not only responsible for contacting contestants and arranging accommodation, but also for reviewing the list of entries and judging which ones will actually appear in the five-day competition at the main venues.

After all, this is the finals in China, and the players come from different provinces, and the level is uneven. Among them, there are not only top universities in first-tier cities such as Yanjing, Modu, and Yangcheng, but also unknown schools from remote areas, plus four groups of age groups, from primary school to university and above, without preliminary screening, it is difficult to ensure the level of participation in the works.

For example, there are a total of 23 competitions in this competition, which are divided into five venues, and even if it is to attract the audience and let the enterprises that provide support and sponsorship see the concrete results, the organizing committee must let those excellent entries appear in the right places.

"Unconsciously, it is already the sixth session, with the increase in investment in robotics technology by the country, enterprises and universities, there are more and more robot works recently participated, and the level is getting higher and higher. Looking at the videos of the works sent by many contestants, Huo Qiming said with emotion.

As an expert in domestic mechanical power, a full-time professor of the National University of Defense Technology, a director of the Asian Robot Alliance, and the vice president of the National Robot Technology Promotion and Development Committee, Huo Qiming can be said to have watched the domestic robot competition gradually grow from a blank to a gradual development. For example, last year, two college student robot teams from famous universities in China defeated RB, the world's top robotics powerhouse, in the finals of the Asia-Pacific region, and won the championship of the robot technology competition and the maker competition respectively.

With this, its team members have far surpassed Tongji before they graduated, and booked important R&D department positions in North Machinery Industry Group and Sanqi Group, which belong to the world's top 500 enterprises.

"I don't know if this session will be like the previous one, there will be particularly outstanding works, not only to win honor for the country, but also to pave a glorious future path for themselves....." Turning his eyes off the computer screen, Huo Qiming leaned back on the seat, rubbed his slightly swollen eyes, and was about to rest for a while to recuperate before continuing to review, but heard a dismayed cry outside, "Director Huo, come and take a look, this entry seems to be a bit problematic, I don't feel like I'm good at judging it. ”

"It's hard to judge... What's the situation? Huo Qiming is a little strange, you must know that as a member of the audit team, they are basically like him, either experts and scholars in various fields, or technical backbones who have invaded this way for many years, and they know everything about robots. Therefore, compared to those students who have not been in contact with robot production for a few years, how can there be a situation that cannot be judged.

Unless it's .....

Thinking of this, Huo Qiming stood up suddenly, and said in his heart, could it be that there is a certain kind of genius-level work.

Regardless of the fact that his eyes were still a little sore, Huo Qiming had already walked quickly to the computer of the member of the audit team.

Indeed, with his decades of work experience in the field of machinery manufacturing, it is natural to know that everything in industrial technology needs to be accumulated layer by layer, and it cannot be achieved overnight. But he also knows that many times a flash of inspiration can shorten the process of accumulation countless times. Just like the "two bombs" that laid the foundation for New China, the assistance and mature experience from the big brother of the Soviet Union could make the development of the "atomic bomb" start from scratch, but a certain person had a flash of inspiration, but after this support left, in just two years, he completed the entire process of manufacturing the "hydrogen bomb" that others would have taken four to eight years to complete, and the domestic industrial base at that time was simply poor.

Therefore, even if he feels that he is an authoritative expert in the field of mechanical power, sometimes Huo Qiming has to admit that this kind of genius work with flashes of inspiration can often surprise people like him, and even express admiration from the heart.

"Director Huo, it's this kind of ugly wheeled robot, I'm going to participate in the two projects of the Robotics Competition and the Maker Competition, I've watched all the videos of the test, but I feel very strange, there are some things in it that are not easy to say, Director Huo, you'd better take a look at it first......

Huo Qiming followed the direction of the man's mouse movement and began to look from the beginning, and soon understood what this so-called strange feeling was.

As the protagonist of the road test, the wheeled robot can take the initiative to avoid pedestrians and obstacles on the road without the specific operation of the tester, and he even saw it moving wantonly in the most prosperous downtown area. Above was a crowded stream of people, and the somewhat ugly robot was like a slippery fish, shuttling between countless legs, and the pedestrians did not even notice that something passed under their feet.

It's been incredible......

Huo Qiming's brows furrowed tightly, of course he knew what this meant, but because of this, he felt incredulous.

This is the concept of unmanned travel, and it is the most complex situation. If the difficulty of traffic in the downtown area is 10, then the difficulty of moving freely through the flow of people in the downtown area is more than 60. Compared to the driverless technology he knew of TLS's latest concept electric model, it was simply too powerful, and the former could only be unmanned in areas with relatively easy traffic such as highways, which could only be counted as two more difficult.

And because the specific technical level is too different, Huo Qiming's first reaction after watching it was that the video was fake.

However, the problem is that it is impossible for a fake entry video to be repeatedly confirmed, and it will be removed from the list of participants by the selection team at the first time, which means that it has a certain degree of authenticity.

Huo Qiming thought about it carefully, and had to admit that the video shot was very coherent, and there were only two main characters in the picture, a girl and a boy, the former was the operator of the wheeled robot, and the latter was obviously the photographer. The recording technique is not professional, but the performance of the robot is fully displayed, especially when the woodland and lawn of the park are measured, it can be clearly seen that no one else is there in the picture, but there is still no need for the girl's specific operation to actively avoid the trees, mounds and stones on the route.

This seems to prove that the concept of unmanned operation has the most advanced driverless technology available, even if it does not reach the level of free travel in the city, although it is only a robot competition for teenagers.

After a quick judgment in his heart, Huo Qiming had already made a decision.

"Don't think so much, give them a central venue."

"However, this contestant is only from the secondary school group ..... the southwest division" Faced with this decision, the members of the review team were obviously a little hesitant. Compared with the strongest North China, East China, and South China, the Southwest Division, which is relatively lacking in educational resources, has always been a relatively backward one of the seven major competition regions in China. It's just that he hasn't finished half of this, but Huo Qiming waved his hand and refused, "Don't think about it, the content shown in the video is already worth our gamble." ”

He believes that as long as the robot has half, nay, even a quarter of the performance shown in this video, the result of this Asia-Pacific Youth Robot Competition is no longer in doubt.
