Class B base.

In a vacant factory lot, a nearly 2.1-meter-tall oversized humanoid machine was hoisted to the center by a crane and lowered to one of two treadmills placed side by side.

The robot's shoulders are suspended with rope straps, but two humanoid feet touch the treadmill.

Then a man in a jumpsuit covered in electrodes walked onto another treadmill, and after a cable hanging from the top of his head was attached to his back, he moved slightly and made an OK gesture.

Around him, there are sensors and cameras that surround his body, and the data of these devices, like the sensors on his body, transmit information to the robot's computer.

The staff immediately powered up the robot, and the miniature screen of the head of the humanoid robot, which looked like a Terminator, lit up, and stopped after running through a barrage of data, no different from when it was not powered on.

"Zhang Wei, start walking!"

Zhang Wei, who was on the treadmill on the right side, heard the command, hesitated slightly, and began to walk at a normal pace, and the electrodes all over his body moved in space with his body as he walked.

The surrounding cameras, together with the sensors on his body, acquire his movement data from two directions, transmit it to the robot, and display the captured 3D real-time dynamic model on the controller's computer.

Zhang Wei did not deliberately adjust his movements, but walked on the treadmill very easily, and his hands naturally swung in small increments, and after a few minutes, he was ordered to run quickly.

Then there were various actions such as jogging, jumping, spinning in place, crawling, rolling, etc., and after more than an hour of tossing, beads of sweat gradually appeared on Zhang Wei's forehead.

In addition to the command to constantly change the movement, there is only the indicator light of the infrared camera and the lidar that constantly beats.

Of course, there is also a Xingchen-1 supercomputer working at full power under the cooling of a large number of air conditioners in the basement of the third basement a few hundred meters away.

It's just that at this time, it is not the base artificial intelligence "Shanhai" that is running, but the single learning robot AI: brave.

This is the name of the AI model used in the humanoid bionic robot jointly developed by the Ministry of Microelectronics and the Ministry of Light Machinery, and the name was chosen by Seryov.

Brave, in Russian, it can be explained by "Valentin", Seryov happened to have a close comrade-in-arms, named Valentin Petrovich Grushko.

Selyov was so impressed by this friend that he did not hesitate to name it in honor of his dear Valentin.

"Brave" is a self-learning artificial intelligence model designed by the microelectronics department for the first time after absorbing SC09 technology, and has been prepared for assistive robots since its development.

It only needs to be fed as much data as possible during the R&D phase, and it can learn skills autonomously, iterate to a mature state, and load it in a single robot's chip to perform various tasks flawlessly.

Now, it's learning to walk.

Zhang Wei did almost all kinds of actions that humans could do, and was finally let go.

This was the first piece of data that Valiant received, and it learned it at a rapid pace on the Stellar One computer before being given control of the Warrior robot.

More than a dozen researchers and Zhang Wei, who was so tired that he sat on the ground, nervously looked at the Warrior 001 robot, which had been taken over and given the "command to walk 50 meters on the treadmill".

The moment Warrior 001 was taken over by "Brave", his posture changed, his originally bent leg joints stood straight, and the rope straps hanging from his shoulders immediately relaxed.

The two robotic arms made different movements out of sync, just like a normal human, their hands relaxed and slightly open, standing firmly in place.

One researcher exclaimed that they had not programmed any walking, but had preset the basic parameters and parts data of the warrior-type robot to let the AI know its own body.

As for how to move, whether it is theoretically possible to walk on two legs like a human, or to stand upside down or crawl on all fours like a strange species, it all depends on the AI's own judgment.

Apparently, "Brave" chose to learn the humanoid way of walking in the sample.

Warrior 001 paused for a second or two, then began to move in place, and it directly stepped out of its left leg sharply, and its whole body quickly leaned forward due to the change in its center of gravity.

The Warrior 1 is not light, the inside of the 2.1-meter body is solidly filled with various equipment, and the mass reaches 270kg, which is the result of applying some weight reduction measures.

As soon as its first step moved, the people present had already found that the posture was a little uncoordinated and stiff, and the arms did not move in time to adjust the center of gravity, and they felt that they were definitely going to fall.

In fact, Warrior One's whole body fell forward, but the rope strap fixed on the shoulder played a role and immediately tightened, and the rope with a little elasticity caused the robot to suddenly be subjected to great force, and suddenly there was a tendency to fall in reverse.

But "Brave" did not wait for the action of the rope to stabilize itself, its limbs and the movable joints on its body began to move suddenly and vigorously like a drowning person, and the body of more than 500 pounds staggered and moved indiscriminately on the treadmill.

In the eyes of everyone, the process of Warrior One from the first step to the collapse and struggle was only a few seconds, but in these few seconds, the researcher who already had a deep understanding of artificial intelligence had an indescribable shock.

Because "Brave" tried to correct his posture too quickly after realizing that he was going to fall, he directly mobilized all the moving parts of his body, and constantly adjusted his center of gravity at a speed that was almost an instinctive human reaction according to the sensors and databases all over his body in an attempt to stand firm.

This kind of batch instruction processing instruction and response speed has been much beyond this era.

The manufacturing of robot technology, including joints, micro motors and other technologies, has actually had the potential to be similar to human beings in the 70s of the last century, and control technology has always been difficult.

As far as the performance of Warrior 001 is concerned, taking it out will definitely make people think that it is cheating.

At this point, Warrior 001 was already on his feet, his legs were held diagonally one after the other, and the rope straps on his shoulders returned to a relaxed state, and Warrior 001 carefully withdrew his legs and returned to his standing position waiting for orders.

At the same time, the researchers realized that the reason why they were a little stiff when they took the first step was because the "brave" was hesitant to test whether they could take it this way.

After settling down, Warrior 001 began his mission again, this time with his left leg still on his left leg, but at the same time his hands began to move one after the other.

Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Warrior 001, who was moving forward with his left hand and left foot at the same time, took his second step and completed this step in a way that no one expected:

Its right leg curls up slightly, moves to its left leg in a toe-toe motion, and then stands up straight on both legs.

After that, Warrior No. 1 stepped out of his left leg and left hand at the same time every time, just like a disabled person with a right leg problem, because he stepped a distance of about 1 meter with the same hand and foot to the left, and then stiffly moved his right foot to stand firm and start the next cycle.

In such a strange position, Warrior One began to walk on the treadmill, limping and repeating, perhaps because he had collected the data on his own, and seemed to be slightly faster by the last few steps.

The researchers were dumbfounded, apparently after Warrior One had tried a successful walk, he had completed the instructions in a repetitive manner without making any further attempts.

Although this is very "unenterprising", it is clear that Warrior 001 has completed the task assigned to it.
