Monster Factory: One Thousand Four Hundred 30 Nine: The Sound in Boston Dynamics
The interior of Boston Dynamics Company in the old American Massachusetts, Waltham city.
In a laboratory in the hardware assembly area, Boston Dynamics’ Legend(ary) hardware engineer Goldsmith, Company’s internal software chief engineer Antel, and several White House staff are standing in one silver-white metal with a translucent shell in front of the robot.
Boston Dynamics Company was established in the year close to 30. From the beginning of its establishment, it has been committed to the manufacture of complete robot products.
Here, nearly 30 year, they have encountered many ups and downs through ups and downs, and Company has also changed hands several times.
But they have made enough achievements in the field of robotics.
Especially in the field of humanoid machines, the Atlas Robot under its umbrella is their most representative work that integrates great technology.
The former Atlas robot is the most eye-catching work among the worldwide humanoid robots.
The external media once believed that Atlas robots have the potential to challenge real humanoid robots.
In the near future, Atlas robots may become a necessity to walk into thousands of households just like cars.
However, all these beautiful dreams, like a beautiful soap bubble, seem colorful and dazzling, but they are broken with a single poke.
Monster industry appeared.
From the first generation of robot products, to the original Guardian robot products, to today's wizard maids.
Now, the first wizard maid in the United States is quietly placed in the hardware assembly laboratory.
Looking at this science fiction robot, the engineer Goldsmith and the others have been silent for two minutes.
No one wants to speak, because they really don't know what to say.
Because there are two semi-finished Atlas robots next to the fixed table where the elf maids are placed.
One of them is not equipped with a shell, and the other is only equipped with a basic support structure in the initial stage of assembly.
Even if the shell of the elf maid was not removed, the people present could see at a glance the differences between the elf maid and Atlas robots in terms of technology.
Coarse ore, messy, full of metal beams, pipes, wires, and motors.
It looks like a pile of parts removed from machine tools piled together.
This is the Atlas robot.
In the end, someone from White House broke the silence at the scene, "Mr. Smith, don't you say something?"
Five seconds later, Goldsmith recovered, and said without raising his head: "Say what?"
"The wizard maid is here. Even a student can see the gap between the Atla robot and it."
The layman can only see the gap, but does not know the specific details and level of the gap. In addition, can this gap be caught up by some means?
Boston Dynamics is the one who is most qualified to speak in the field of robotics hardware. Even in the world, except for the Monster industry, they are still at the T1 level.
To study the wizard maid, of course put it here.
The fairy maid in front of me is hard-won.
It took only three days for China's hair wizard maid to get a wizard maid from the staff stationed at China, and it was transported back to China through the night sky through a special diplomatic plane.
In order to make sure things go smoothly, the wizard maid in front of me hasn't even turned on from start to finish.
"Let’s talk about the gap in the technical field first." Kokap, the person in charge of this technical research White House, suggested: "We can take apart the elf maids and leave every detail."
The hardware engineer Goldsmith shook his head, he was a little reluctant to dismantle the elf maid.
In his eyes, the elf maid was a gem that condensed industrial technology that he couldn't imagine.
Art works, in the eyes of the artist, no matter how much you appreciate it, it is not enough.
"The technology gap is far greater than you think."
Smith laughed at himself: "Actually, in my eyes, Monster industry is not too shocked to be able to produce fairy maids."
"Only you civilians, or other industries, feel as unimaginable as an astronaut landing on Mars."
"Even if the Monster industry does land on Mars, I don't think it is weird."
"Their hardware technology really surpasses us too much."
Seeing that the White House staff is a little anxious, Smith said seriously: "The wizard maid in front of you is actually an integrated work of merely Monster in the hardware field."
"All the hardware you see can find its root in the past products of Monster industry."
"Their hardware platform is very mature. Naturally, in the upper-level motion control products, they can easily achieve a breakthrough in the ‘blowout’."
"Take the core hardware — — bionic muscle fiber in the wizard maid movement system as an example."
"This technology was applied to Primordial Spirit hand products by Monster industry two years ago."
"This material composed of hot nerve fibers, I have studied many times a long time ago."
"Do you know that this kind of thermal nerve fiber, disassembled under an industrial microscope, is actually a special high-resistance thermally deformable alloy metal wire with different diameters."
"This metal wire will not be affected by room temperature changes at all when it is not conductive."
"But once it conducts electricity, according to the resistance ohm, it can exhibit the thermal deformation effect extremely accurately, which is almost the same as the process of human muscle contraction."
"A special heat-deformed alloy metal wire, wrapped by an insulating biological material, forms a thermal nerve unit."
"Hundreds of thermal nerve units form a bionic muscle fiber movement unit."
Smith pointed to the Atlas robot in the corner again, and laughed at himself: "Look at us again."
"Servo motors, hydraulic struts."
"These two things have been used decades ago. Now, what technological progress can you say about them and decades ago?"
"Without researching the thermal neural unit~IndoMTL.com~ we will never be able to follow in the footsteps of the Monster industry."
"Not so exaggerated, is it?" White House staff member Kokap said unconfidently, "I watched the shooting video of Atlas Robot before. It can not move freely, but it can also jump on stairs of different heights. Are you jumping around?"
"Especially when it hits the ground, it is balanced by shaking, and it feels no different from real person."
Smith sneered, reluctant to say more.
He is a hardware engineer.
His professional field is called Legend(ary), and he has been famous in United Kingdom before.
Real engineers disdain to tell lies or brag about themselves. In their eyes, good is good and bad is original sin.
Or the chief software engineer Antel tells the truth.
Except for the Monster industry, Boston Dynamics is right in the field of humanoid robots.
The robot dog they developed in cooperation with the military has become the first ground machine product applied in the military field.
The Atlas robot is their masterpiece.
But is Atlas robot really as good as in the video?
No.
The Atlas robot consists of an omni-directional chassis that can achieve three degrees of freedom and a 7-axis linkage arm.
It solves the balance problem and the inertial force generated in the movement through the center of gravity chassis movement scheme.
Compared with other technology Company's six-axis robotic arm and vertical lifting column, Atlas robot is undoubtedly extremely advanced.
Through the liquid strut energy storage solution on the legs, the Atlas robot can also achieve the ability to jump on one leg.
But all these are actually piles of wood.
