Chapter 606 Robot Xiaolin
Since the launch of the housekeeping robot, the entire Internet has once again become agitated by the name "future man". ?? ?Hunting?Text??????????????
The serial number aI-oo, nicknamed Xiaolin, symbolizes the first generation machine of the concept of "artificial intelligence + service robot" of Future Heavy Industries. Future Heavy Industry finally rejected Dr. Amos's rough design of the robot's shape, and a professional art team repackaged Xiaolin.
The original long tapered head was replaced by a human face.
The uncanny valley effect really distressed the art team at the beginning. The more human-like the machine is, the stronger the physical rejection will be. Even if the expression data is continuously imported to enrich the facial expressions of the robot. However, the emptiness in the eyes and the rigidity in the details still give people a fear similar to staring at the dead. However, the problem that Dr. Amos couldn't think of a solution was solved by an undergraduate student from Huaguo who majored in fine arts.
"Looking too much like a human will make people uncomfortable, so why don't you just stop being human!"
Who said that you have to look like a human being to have a sense of beauty?
For example, the virtual idols that have been popular for many years, Hatsune Miku, Luo Tianyi...don't they also have a large number of fans on the Internet?
Problem solved.
The awakened art team immediately overturned the originally designed face shape and redone it, adopting a 2.5-dimensional character modeling style (refer to Final Fantasy), bringing the characters that exist in the fantasy world into the three-dimensional.
There are 6 basic expressions and 36 derived expressions adjusted according to emotional parameters, but the emotional expressiveness has completely exploded the original cumbersome design of 142 different expressions.
Xiaolin's official image is set as: an 18-year-old "black long straight" girl wearing a maid skirt, and a golden boy wearing a deacon uniform. Gender, color, eye color, bust, character, and clothing can all be customized according to user preferences. Of course, robots with a custom appearance will cost extra.
If you want your girlfriend to look different from others, most people are willing to pay for this amount of money.
What? You asked me if I used the word "girlfriend" in the wrong place?
Needless to say, after many people bought Xiaolin home, they really regarded it as their girlfriend. The aI produced by Futureman Technology is powerful in addition to its name. Just like many people still regard Xiaobai as their pet, many people fell in love with this goddess who came out of the fantasy world at first sight. Although the price of 10,000 US dollars is not very close to the people. But beyond Dr. Amos' expectation, it achieved a sales miracle in the Asian market!
Especially the adult version of Xiao Lin's sales,
It is a full-age type designed for families. Although only a "special mold" and a special "emotional sensor" were added, as well as 18 special actions and expressions specially designed for certain things. On the black market, it was fired up to a sky-high price of 20,000 US dollars!
This situation was also unexpected for Jiang Chen.
If you can afford $20,000, why not find a girlfriend! Picking up a girl can't cost more than 20,000 yuan!
It wasn't until later that he found out dumbfoundingly that it wasn't just single dogs who didn't have money to get married who bought this thing, but also some people who were not short of money but had special hobbies. Some require the height to be as short as possible, and some require the bust to be g. Some even bought ten of them in one go, and went straight out of the whole harem.
A robot will never be jealous, unless it is programmed that she should be jealous at this time.
The American "Time Magazine" put Jiang Chen on the cover again, and wrote a line of words under his profile picture in humorous English——
[The man who "solved" the sex and life problems of 240,000 singles worldwide in one month]
Seeing this title almost made Jiang Chen's nose crooked.
If it weren't for the content of the report, he would have almost sent Ghost to work.
Currently, 200,000 units of Xiaolin come out of the factory on Anga Island every month, of which 50,000 are household models and 150,000 are adult models. Originally, the two produced 100,000 units each, but there was no way, the adult models were selling so well, Future Ren Heavy Industry cut down the production line of household models without hesitation. The production capacity is allocated to the production of adults.
For this reason, Amos often complained to Jiang Chen.
His epoch-making masterpiece is actually regarded as a sex toy, which is an insult to knowledge!
But he didn't complain for a month before he stopped talking, and honestly studied the improved version of "Xiaolin". The dividend of 50 million US dollars almost didn't scare him. Although he is well-known in the international robotics academic circle, he has never been so rich.
However, different from Time Magazine, the Washington Post has maintained a cautious attitude towards the "Xiaolin" launched by Future Heavy Industries. On the page of the report on "Xiao Lin", there is an image of "Terminator" holding a heavy machine gun: "The White House will be happy, I am afraid that it will not be long before our soldiers serving in Iraq will be able to go home. "
The White House, however, was not happy.
As soon as Xiaolin entered the market, the Pentagon analyzed the possibility of using this "highly intelligent" robot on the battlefield. Although Xiaolin currently cannot recognize firearms. It's programmed to forbid her from doing things that could harm humans, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have room for weaponization.
The conclusions drawn by relevant analysts are also very surprising.
If this robot is put on the battlefield, the ground combat capability of the US military will at least increase by 10%. The most important thing is that these soldiers are not paid. There is no need for any pensions if you die in battle, and a funeral will be held.
However, the trouble is that the main control chip of this robot has added protection measures similar to those of the phantom helmet. Violent disassembly will trigger the instantaneous discharge of the high-energy capacitor of the protection circuit, burning the key components of the chip. As for the more critical aI program, technicians from various countries can't even touch the door. The progress of reverse engineering was slow, and the White House had to send an email to the mailbox of Future People Group.
"Raytheon wants to cooperate with us in the field of robot military industry. They offered a price of 1 billion U.S. dollars and hoped to buy the technology related to 'Xiaolin' in our hands. Huaguo Heavy Industry also made a similar proposal to us, hoping to Win a robot cooperation project with us before Raytheon." Standing in the chairman's office, Xia Shiyu reported to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen glanced at the documents on the table, but sighed without answering.
"It doesn't matter whether it's artificial intelligence or robots... why every time I come up with a technology, someone always tries to turn it into a weapon?"
Yesterday, Natasha came to him, and the Kremlin had the same idea, hoping to cooperate with Future Heavy Industries. The chick even lowered her voice and threw out the "nuclear" bait. Russia can send nuclear experts to the country to help the country build nuclear power plants and the like...
"Reject?" Xia Shiyu asked.
"Reject it, and reiterate the neutrality of the Future Group in international affairs. Anyone who tries to steal or seize the technology of the Future Group through illegal means, the Future Group will immediately apply for patents in other countries."
Xia Shiyu nodded.
"I will write your words as a diplomatic reply. In addition, Saudi Arabia also called and mentioned things related to robots."
"Saudi Arabia?" Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu in confusion, "Are they also interested in our technology?"
"Rather than being interested in technology, it's better to say..." After hesitating for a moment, Xia Shiyu looked away with a slightly embarrassed expression, "The royal family over there has made a special request." (To be continued.)
