Chapter 273: Five Problems in Software, Advanced Technology of the Golden Dome
Luo Jia began to arrange tasks for the software department again, and if he wanted to achieve autonomous driving in the true sense, he first had to complete a large amount of information collection.
There are dozens of sensors hidden in the car body, and the data collected by these sensors is transmitted to the central processing unit, which is information collection.
The second is pre-treatment.
The information obtained by the sensor may not be all valid, for example, in rainy weather, the sensor will collect a lot of rainwater information, if the rain is regarded as an obstacle, the vehicle will not be able to drive, so a filtering mechanism is needed to filter out the invalid information, leaving only the really effective part.
Again, information fusion.
Suppose you are driving on a highway in rainy weather, and the automatic driving system will get weather information, highway congestion information, traffic accident information, vehicle distance information, wind resistance information, tire grip information, and so on.
To process this data, it is necessary to build a digital model that fuses all the information together to form a real-time traffic system and establishes the level of priority for processing the information.
And again, there's decision planning.
The real-time traffic system has been set up, and depending on the rain conditions, a slightly longer safety distance should be maintained from the vehicle in front, because the road surface is slippery, the anti-skid system should be ready to intervene at any time, and in the case of strong winds, the four-wheel independent drive should distribute different torques, which must be decided by the software.
Finally, there is the execution system.
After the system decision is made, it must be fed back to the mechanical part, and the command will be executed, braking when it is time to brake, and steering when it is time to steer.
Only after solving these five software difficulties, and then cooperating with the four major hardware systems, a complete set of autonomous driving technology can be truly put into use.
Luo Jia said lightly, "You should have seen that the essence of the autonomous driving system is actually industrial software, and through this period of time, we have accumulated a lot of experience in the field of industrial software, and have also cultivated a large number of top talents who write industrial software." ”
"In this world, industrial software is the most complex and largest classification, such as the North American military's F35 fighter jet, its own flight control software system, no less than 30 million lines of code, the autopilot system should not be so huge, but according to calculations, it is also at the level of tens of millions of lines of code."
"Our autonomous driving pre-research team has done a lot of work before, but on this basis, we have to carry out a lot of expansion and extension to make it have more functions and adapt to more scenarios."
"For this reason, the software department will postpone the EDA project a little bit and focus on solving the problem of autonomous driving, and if there are no other problems, today's meeting will end here."
Luo Jia announced the end of the meeting, and everyone stood up and returned to their respective laboratories.
As a giant enterprise, Xingchen Technology has a lot of projects, mobilizing some people to tackle autonomous driving, and most of them have to continue their own research topics.
Luo Jia called An Ran and Li Moran into the office and said: "Ultrasonic motors and autonomous driving are the last two key links in the entire automotive system. ”
"Everyone worked hard a year ago, and after the Spring Festival, the software and hardware departments started a new journey at the same time."
An Ran leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile, "No problem, I have been waiting for the company to enter the semiconductor field in my dreams, and the optics side has been preparing for this for three years, studying almost all the lithography and etching machines in the world." ”
Luo Jia shrugged his shoulders, he seemed to be about to say something, but suddenly, Li Moran and An Ran saw Luo Jia's brows tightly locked, and his index finger squeezed his temples hard.
"What, you're not feeling well?" Li Moran asked with concern.
Luo Jia shook his head, "It's nothing, I stayed all night last night, and now I feel a little tired, in short, everything will be executed according to the established plan, we have two years of pre-research and accumulation of autonomous driving, and now is the time for us to show our sword." ”
The experience of having a headache after staying up late, Li Moran and An Ran are not lacking, coupled with Luo Jia's amazing endurance, they quickly returned to normal after a moment of pain, so the two of them didn't think much about it, nodded, and returned to their respective jobs.
As soon as the two of them left, Luo Jia immediately closed the blinds and fell down on the sofa, trying not to moan in pain, but closed his eyes tightly, curled up, and looked extremely painful.
The crazy sound that made his mind explode sounded again, although there was always a voice in Luo Jia's ears, but the sound was very weak, like the buzzing of mosquitoes around him.
It is only when the Golden Dome transmits certain advanced knowledge that the voice suddenly increases, and the brain becomes extremely painful due to the high density of data transmission.
The first time this happened was when Luo Jia was still in school, and the transmission of the junior artificial intelligence caused him to fall on the playground track.
The second time, not long after he started his business, the transmission of primary robotics technology prevented Luo Jia from going home that night and stayed up in the office for hours.
Time has been three years, Luo Jia has not received the advanced knowledge of the Golden Dome again, and he has even forgotten what a crazy feeling it is to obtain advanced knowledge.
Until today, the elusive golden dome once again showed great power, opening a new folder in Luo Jia's mind, and a huge amount of data was frantically sent to Luo Jia's brain.
Luo Jia waited quietly, after drinking two cups of coffee in a row, the painful feeling seemed to be relieved, but advanced knowledge is often a folder with a huge capacity, far slower than the transmission of ordinary knowledge, Luo Jia didn't know how long it would take for the crazy chirping to stop.
So Luo Jia quietly returned to the meditation center, and under the service of the robot, lay on the bed groggily, wondering what kind of technique it would be this time.
The previous two overspeed teleportations brought Luo Jia terrifying technology, artificial intelligence and robotics, so advanced that Luo Jia didn't dare to use it.
Robotics and artificial intelligence technology is completely epoch-making and can directly destroy the existing human industrial system.
Although junior robots are naïve, they certainly can't do research, and they don't have a wonderful imagination to engage in creative work.
But they are the most honest workers in the world, and if they are put into production in large quantities, the cleaners, the construction workers, the assembly line workers, all of them will be unemployed in the same place.
Unemployment is by no means a simple matter, and it will bring a series of complex social problems, so Luo Jia does not plan to mass-produce robots until he is ready.
Of course, at the current cost, the robot is too expensive.
The core components, such as RV motors and harmonic geared motors, such as the entire semiconductor chip system, are all imported, and these problems also make Luo Jia full of concerns.
The self-built robot still uses imported circuits and motors, and the processing of five-axis machine tools is also imported, which is very unsafe.
After nightfall, Luo Jia's pain continued to ease, and the robots made egg fried rice that was not delicious or unpleasant, Luo Jia barely ate some, drank two more glasses of tomato juice, and then he lay on the table, studying his own road map.
If you recall carefully, you will find that the development roadmap of Xingchen Technology is actually a long-term planning blueprint for the robot industry.
The robot needs electricity, so it has batteries and electronic control, wireless energy wave transmission, and a Kármán vortex power generation array.
Robots need to use ultra-precision motors, so there are permanent magnet vector motors and ultrasonic motors that are being studied.
Society needs to be able to accept the existence of robots more easily, so with the first and second generations of little stars, people today have embraced artificial intelligence, and they will not be stunned to see real robots in a few years.
The core circuit of the robot needs semiconductor manufacturing, so Luojia develops industrial software and uses industrial software to support five-axis machine tools and semiconductor manufacturing platforms, and Xingchen Optics has also been preparing for the company to enter the semiconductor field.
All in all, if you want to build a robot, you must first have a complete industrial system.
Moreover, according to the known conditions, primary robots can only replace workers, not researchers, so it is necessary to improve the education level of Xingchen University and the national university system.
couldn't sleep, Luo Jia had to take a shower, lie on the bed, and endure the shouting of harsh voices.
It must be a very powerful technology, right?
Because this transfer took much longer than the previous two times.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Jia had been resting in the meditation center for two whole days, and the high-speed data transmission had not stopped.
