"This project, I know that people think it is a bit idealistic, but it doesn't stop us from moving forward step by step." Mingyou tidied up his suit, "All plans are a step-by-step process, so you don't need to have so much opinion, we can continue to receive feedback in the process of implementation, and then follow up." ”

"Mr. Ming." Another person asked, "So what are you going to do as a first step?" ”

Another person next to him looked through the record sheet: "Mr. Ming, the first batch of LC-type robots that have appeared at present have been recovered, do you plan to operate them on the old machine first?" ”

"Yes." Mingyou replied in the affirmative, "Because they have been in the market for a while, and they are public goods, serving in hospitals." Therefore, physical injuries can be well avoided, and at the same time, their special identity can be a good feedback on the patient's emotions and acceptance when they enter emotions for the first time. ”

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"If you don't have any other questions, let's go into the operation room together this afternoon and observe the emotional feedback of the first robot."

"So fast?" Everyone was surprised.

"yes." Mingyou smiled smugly, he had been looking forward to this work for a long time.

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone returned to their offices. Myeongwoo also returned with his secretary.

"Mr. Ming, I have transferred the minutes of the meeting to your computer." The secretary replied with a smile.

"Thank you." Mingyou replied, and then remembered something, "Your code name will no longer be your name in the future, and after this work is completed, I will give you all a name." ”

The secretary smiled: "Thank you." ”

"Hmm...... No, I'll just call you 'Ella'. Mingyou said.

“Ella？” The secretary repeated.

"Yes, you're EL-type, so I'll give you a name, Ella." He approached the secretary, "Do you like it?" ”

The secretary smiled and nodded: "I like it very much, thank you, Mr. Ming." ”

Myeongwoo is also very happy because he has taken another step forward in his work since today.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the personnel of all departments followed Mingyou to the operation room.

There was already a skilled worker waiting for them in the white room with a tablet. And next to him, a robot with a data cable attached to its neck, closed its eyes, waiting to wake up.

When everyone had already stood firm, Mingyou stood in front and faced everyone.

"The first thing we started today is the LC-01 robot, which is our first batch of medical robots to produce and has been working in the hospital for five years and eight months." Mingyou introduced, "This batch of medical robots has left the factory a total of ten, and now we have updated the system, and they have been added to the first emotion. ”

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.

"EMPATHY IS THE ABILITY TO PUT ONESELF IN THE SHOES OF OTHERS, SO AS TO FEEL AND UNDERSTAND THE EMOTIONS OF OTHERS. For nurses, empathy is empathy for patients, meeting their needs with humanity and alleviating pain. Good empathy can improve patients' treatment compliance and satisfaction. In this way, our medical robots will actively feel the patient's emotions and needs from the patient's point of view, and can actively help the patient solve the problem, which is especially important to maintain a good nurse-patient relationship. ”

With that, he raised his hand and asked the staff to start the robot.

The staff operated on the tablet, and the robot's face gradually expanded into a smile as its eyes opened.

"Hello, I'm LC-01."

Mingyou stood in front of her and greeted her: "Hello." ”

She glanced at Mingyou, and then replied, "Hello, Mr. Ming, you seem to be in good spirits. ”

"Thank you." Mingyou faced everyone, "Next, we have a case to show. ”

So the staff led her into a room behind her, where a patient was lying on the bed and babbling something with a pained expression. CL-01 slowly crouches down beside his bed, talking to him.

The tone is gentle and the expression is easy-going.

"Before, our medical robots gave people the impression of smiling and obedient, and treating patients can be described as 'fast, ruthless and accurate'." Mingyou laughed, "So they solve the problem directly and don't communicate with the patient." ”

Everyone approached the glass window and watched carefully as she was reassuring the patient, gradually calming him down and asking about the cause. The patient also slowly relaxed and talked to her about her symptoms.

"In the past, our human medical staff, because of time and number of people, rarely communicated with patients calmly, which is why it is easy to cause problems between doctors and patients." Mingyou continued, "If our robots can do all the preparation work one step ahead of time, and at the same time reduce the workload of doctors, it can be said that they complement each other. ”

Moments later, LC-01 had finished communicating with the patient and was given a preliminary diagnosis. And when the staff took her out of the room, the lights were also turned off in the room.

The staff presented a result, and everyone was satisfied after looking at it.

"And, the most interesting thing about this one is that the patient doesn't think of her as a robot directly."

"Oh?"

"Because they're interactive, it feels more real."

"I see."

A satisfied smile appeared on Mingyou's face, and it seemed that this step of investment was successful.

"Also, I'd like to ask someone to come up and feel it." Mingyou said with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other and didn't understand what he meant.

"Mr. Ming, what do you feel?" One of them asked.

Mingyou smiled and invited him to take a step forward, then stretched out his hand: "Come, shake my hand." ”

The man hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shook it, nothing special. Everyone is watching what Mingyou wants to do.

"Remember how we feel right now, and come here to feel it." Mingyou lets go of his hand and brings him to LC-01's side, then takes its hand and faces him.

The man wondered what Mingyou was trying to do with this move, and gently took his hand on the robot's hand in confusion, which made his eyes widen, and he glanced at LC-01 incredulously, then repeatedly confirmed the sensation of his hand several times, and then was pleasantly surprised.

"Mr. Ming, this, this is a body temperature?"

"Yes." Mingyou nodded.

Everyone present was taken aback, and then they all came up and confirmed.

"Don't worry, your mood will also affect the change in its body temperature." Mingyou reminded them.

"Really?"

"Yes." Mingyou explained, "If it senses that you are more emotional, her body temperature will also rise. ”

"In that case, it's closer to a human being."

"Yes." Mingyou is sure, "As long as it is not explicitly informed, no one will notice the difference." ”

"But they still need to recharge their batteries to keep them moving."

"And solar."

"Should this be communicated to the customer? There's always a right to know, right? ”

The discussion began again.

Mingyou listened to their discussion, and his eyes had already returned to LC-01: "This is a sign of success, and then, after we have all the updates, we will be able to send them back to the hospital for the first batch of experimental feedback." I believe that this kind of medical robot will definitely get a higher evaluation than before. ”

"Does that mean that the first step is to add 'empathy', and the next step will be to add other emotions?" Questions were raised.

Mingyou looked back at him, smiled and said, "Yes, there will be a variety of different emotions invested in different professions. ”

"Would that create a monopoly?"

"Monopoly?" Mingyou shook his head, "It shouldn't be." ”

"Not everyone likes robots." Someone replied, "We just came up with the possibility and let them choose." ”

"Yes." Mingyou replied, "Robots can replace some, but not all. ”

"I'm in favor of it, and besides, the choice is in the hands of people."

"Then I hope that the robot that has received emotions will not have a sense of 'choice', just like people choose objects based on feelings, will it also choose the owner because of the matter of preference?"

Mingyou listened quietly to their discussion.

"Don't be stupid." One picks up the tablet and says, "What's this?" Remotes, if we can't control them anymore, what's the point? ”

"So, a lot of problems can be avoided."

"That is, if something goes wrong, turn off the ...... in time"

"Alright, guys." Mingyou interrupted their discussion, "That's all for today's meeting, when the results come out, we will update the next batch again, everyone wait for good news." ”

"Yes, Mr. Ming."

……

After the meeting ended, Mingyou didn't immediately return to the office.

All of the updated robots have been placed in the warehouse, ready to be sent back to the hospital early tomorrow morning.

"Mr. Ming, the LC-07 robot has not been activated after the update according to your wishes, so we have not verified it yet."

The staff handed the tablet to Myeongwoo.

He took the tablet, smiled and said, "I'll do it." ”

So he took the elevator down and entered the warehouse on the second floor. Here are the robots that have been fully assembled, and they are placed in different rooms according to batches and functions. Although it has been completed, their system has not been officially started, that is, it is in a standby state.

Mingyou walked into the room, turned on the light, and a group of robots dressed in white nurse uniforms appeared in front of him.

Over the years, the robots they have produced have different appearances and different body shapes, so that they are all as distinctive as possible. This allows everyone to choose when they are put on the market. Of course, since its introduction to the market, female robots have been more popular than male robots, because the traditional impression is that women are gentler and safer than men.

Mingyou walked over to one of the robots. She was tall with her eyes closed. Her height is around 165, which is the most comfortable height, with an even body shape, fair skin, and even her hair is silky soft.

He couldn't help but reach out and stroke her cheek, which was the touch of human skin, but because it hadn't been activated yet, it looked a little cold.

The quiet face seemed to be asleep, and it was unbearable to be disturbed.

He lowered his hand and pressed the button on the back of her neck to start the process. After connecting to the tablet's data, he opened the settings, ticked some options, and then decided to restart.

As the progress bar progressed, she slowly opened her eyes, and Mingyou's figure was reflected in her light brown eyes.

She opened her pink lips slightly, as if she had just woken up, took a breath, and then the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and greeted him in a sweet voice: "Hello, Mr. Ming." ”
