Chapter 464: Intelligent Robots
Chapter 464
April 18th.
The Clay Prize in Mathematical Sciences is awarded at the headquarters of the Clay Institute of Mathematics.
And the final result did not surprise everyone.
Cheng Nuo won the Clay Prize in Mathematical Sciences for his proof of the Taniyama Shimura conjecture and Cheng's complex ring conjecture.
Deserved!
If the last time Cheng Nuo won the Wiblen Prize, it was a little surprising to everyone.
Then they really can't find anyone else who is eligible for this award other than Cheng Nuo.
............
The day after the award, Cheng Nuo rushed back to school.
What followed was a period of leisure.
Cheng Nuo has not found a suitable project for the time being, first, the difficulty coefficient of most of the projects in the college is too low, and Cheng Nuo is not interested.
Another reason is that those high-end projects are currently in the hands of the group of bigwigs in the college, and Cheng Nuo can only fight in the past.
It seems that I should take the time to go to the Institute of Mathematics to have a look.
Cheng Nuo thought so in his heart.
But before the idea could be put into practice, someone came to the door.
Pushing the door in was Professor Fresnel.
He carried a briefcase, walked in a hurry, and asked directly when he entered the door, "Cheng Nuo, do you have time these days?"
Cheng Nuo shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, "Professor, don't you see that I'm all idle and rancid now?"
"That's just right, I'm going to be on a business trip for a few days, and I have a mission to arrange for you. ”
"Professor, you say. ”
"Nebulas invited us to do some technical guidance on their side last week, and the time is set for tomorrow, but I suddenly have something to do, so I can only let you run for me. ”
"Nebula Technology?" Cheng Nuo muttered quietly, "What kind of company is this?"
"The intelligent robot company is quite famous in China. I'll talk to them about it, and someone will pick you up downstairs tomorrow. ”
"Okay, no problem. ”
happened to be bored, and finally waited for a job, Cheng Nuo naturally would not refuse.
............
Next.
A Maybach with a black body is parked under the laboratory building.
A middle-aged man in a leather jacket politely opened the car door for Cheng Nuo, "Professor Cheng, I'm sorry for you." ”
Cheng Nuo leaned comfortably on the soft back of the chair, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, since we have collected the money, we will naturally do our best to fulfill your requirements." ”
"Let's go, I don't want to lose too much time. ”
The middle-aged man nodded and sat in the driver's seat.
Nebulas is headquartered in the Boston area.
Half an hour later, the car was parked in front of a building.
"Professor Cheng, please come here. ”
The middle-aged man walked in front to lead the way for Cheng Nuo.
The layout of the hall is full of high-tech, and you can also see all kinds of intelligent robots shuttling between floors when you walk on the road.
Taking the elevator, the middle-aged man took Cheng Nuo to the third basement floor.
This is the technology R&D center of Nebulas, the core of the entire company.
Nebulas Technology Co., Ltd. is an intelligent robot research and development company founded three years ago.
Its main products are household robots and educational robots, including sweeping robots, entertainment robots, and personal assistant robots......
Occupy a large share in the market.
However, although the company's current benefits are good, the prospects are indeed worrisome.
A few years ago, the market for intelligent robots was not huge, the cost of household intelligent robots was expensive, and the families who could afford it all belonged to the wealthy class, so this small cake was not noticed by those big conglomerates.
But now, with the development of technology, the cost of intelligent robots has been compressed to a very low level, which makes even the average well-off family enough to buy a household intelligent robot to use, and this market has been rapidly enlarged.
Subsequently, the cake is also big enough to attract the attention of those big conglomerates.
This makes Nebula a little uncomfortable.
Before, I was comfortably eating alone with two or three other intelligent robot companies and running the market, but now that the market is expanding, those big consortia are about to get involved and share the cake.
Compared with money, Nebulas Technology is simply enough compared to those big consortia.
As a result, they have to rely on technology to win.
To put it simply, it is to improve the core competitiveness of their brand.
At the same price, why others choose you and not others is because the technology contained in intelligent robots is more high-end.
Their company invited Cheng Nuo for this purpose.
The middle-aged man took Cheng Nuo to an office and knocked on the door, "Mr. Lanny, Professor Cheng has arrived." ”
Mr. Lenny looked to be in his forties, dressed in a suit and meticulously combed with his hair.
"Professor Cheng, this is our company's vice president, Lenny Burt. ”
"Mr. Lenny, this is Professor Cheng at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ”
"Ha, Cheng, I didn't expect that you are really as young as rumored. As soon as Mr. Lenny came up, he gave Cheng Nuo a big hug.
Cheng Nuo smiled and did not speak.
"Come, let me show you around our R&D center. Mr. Lenny looked familiar and walked out of the office with his arm around Cheng Nuo's shoulders.
"Here, it's the R&D room of our personal intelligent assistant robot, oh, do you see the robot that is only the size of a palm, this is our fifth-generation product, in addition to facial recognition, language engine, this time it also adds language recording, the function of a handheld computer. ”
"Look at it over there, our newly developed intelligent robot called the learning assistant robot, as long as the corresponding knowledge chip is inserted, it can carry out a series of work such as teaching, questioning, reviewing, memorization and inspection. ”
"And ,...... over here"
The underground R&D center has a large space, and Mr. Lanny took Cheng Nuo to visit several districts before stopping in a R&D room.
"Professor Cheng, how are we doing here?" Professor Lanny asked with a smile.
Cheng Nuo looked around and nodded, "It's not bad." ”
"Then we'll get down to business now. Mr. Lenny spoke.
Cheng Nuo nodded, "Well, Mr. Lanny, please speak." ”
Mr. Lenny organized his language and said slowly, "Professor Cheng, as you can see, our company is not lacking in innovation, but now, we have been plagued by the most basic problems for a long time. ”
Mr. Lenny kept a string of data on his computer and said with a wry smile, "So far, we haven't found a solution to the latency problem. ”
"Also, we can't do anything about consistency control. I hope that your arrival can give us a glimmer of hope. ”
Cheng Nuo nodded in understanding.
Latency and consistency are indeed a major challenge faced by most intelligent robots.
