(Additional update for the leader "I am Dennis"! The sixth leader of this book is born! The outbreak started early, for four consecutive days! Hehe, use your monthly ticket to cheer for me!)
Of course, Jiang Chen had seen Super Marines, and it was impossible not to be impressed by Dabai, who was usually naive, cool in fights, and had the attributes of a warm-hearted nanny. Even from a business perspective, Baymax can be considered a relatively successful cartoon character created by Disney in recent years.
"Housekeeping robot? Dabai?" Jiang Chen looked at the three-dimensional concept map on the computer screen with interest, dragging it with the mouse to adjust the angle of the image.
Humanoid structure, externally covered with polyethylene material. In order to avoid triggering horror effects and causing physiological disgust in users, the robot's head is specially designed into a long tapered shape, while other parts still restore the human body structure. The legs are designed in two modes: pulley movement and bipedal walking, corresponding to two terrains: flat ground and stairs.
It can be seen that Amos is still humble. Not only in robotics and artificial intelligence, he also obviously has profound knowledge in ergonomics.
"Cleaning, washing dishes, simple cooking skills, even repairing light bulbs, faucets, and simple carpentry..."
"The function is good, but will there be a market for it?" Jiang Chen noticed that the robot design drawing stated that the skeleton is made of titanium alloy, and the special polyethylene material that wraps the robot's body is not very cheap to mass-produce.
The price of this robot is probably not very affordable.
If you are not particularly lazy, you should be able to do some housework by yourself.
"There is no low-end market, but there are still mid- and high-end markets. Asians may not need it because of their living habits, but Americans will definitely like it."
Labor costs in the United States are very high, and Americans are particularly lazy in life. It is conceivable that such domestic robots have very good market prospects in the United States and European countries. As for the Asian market, for Futureman Group’s brand, sales should not be bad.
The more Jiang Chen looked at this robot, which was still in the concept drawing stage, the more satisfied he became.
Not just for this robot. He was also very satisfied with Amos himself.
Strictly speaking, this will be the first self-developed product in the near future. This doctor from Munich really lived up to his expectations. Not only did he digest computer technology from the end of the world as a "beginner". And he also designed this interesting thing.
"I am very satisfied with this product, but the basic artificial intelligence database and D++ programming language-"
"I know that these are corporate secrets. This housekeeping robot can be regarded as the property of the Future People Group. My only request is that the developers of this robot sign my name." Amos said immediately.
"No, you misunderstood me." Jiang Chen shook his head and continued, "You designed the software and robot, and of course it will be signed with your name. This robot will be produced by Future Man Heavy Industry, and the production line I hope you can design it together. Futureman Group will invest in the project with database authorization and US$200 million, accounting for 80% of the shares of the project. What do you think?"
Amos was stunned.
He really didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so generous.
He has been researching this housekeeping robot for a long time, but due to technical bottlenecks, he has been unable to control the memory occupied by the system program within the load range of the main control chip. Or cut back on bot functionality. Or redesign the main control chip with larger memory and stronger CU performance.
But the D++ programming language solved his problem perfectly. Using some of the primary artificial intelligence databases allowed him to make the robot more humane and its logical responses closer to those of living humans. To this end, he also specially designed an intelligent program for this robot similar to Xiaobai in Future Man 1.0, so that the robot can have daily conversations with users.
It can be said that without the rudimentary artificial intelligence database and D++ programming language provided by Future Man Group, it would have been impossible for him to complete this next-generation housekeeping robot.
What's more, he completed the final design of the robot using the laboratory of the Future Man Group. Legally speaking, this robot can be regarded as the property of the Future Man Group. So when Jiang Chen talked about the database authorization issue, he expressed it directly. He gave the robot to Jiang Chen.
I just didn't expect that Jiang Chen actually proposed cooperation and shared profits with him.
Of course, Amos would not refuse Jiang Chen's generosity. Because there is no reason to refuse at all. Due to the spirit of scientific research, he cannot make money from other people's technology, even if the technology has not been patented and is only a corporate secret of the Future Man Group. But that doesn't mean he doesn't like money.
Of course, he made such a move against Jiang Chen. He was still very grateful. After all, he has put countless efforts into this. It is absolutely impossible to say that he is not reluctant to part with it.
Future Man Group invests in technology licensing, and he can still take 20% of the profits without taking any risks. This is undoubtedly extremely generous. As for designing the production line, it is not difficult at all for a genius like him.
"As for the details of the cooperation in the production of this domestic robot, I hope you can refer to a few opinions, but before that, can you please step aside?" Jiang Chen smiled and glanced at the little girl standing at the door of the living room.
Amos nodded, ordered his daughter to close the door to the living room, and looked at Jiang Chen again.
"Is it something that is not convenient for outsiders to hear? You can rest assured that my Miriam is very sensible."
"It's true that it's inconvenient for outsiders to hear... But it's not so much because of this, but rather because it's a little hard to talk about." Jiang Chen lowered his voice, leaned forward and leaned next to Amos, suppressing the embarrassment in his heart. Said, "When it comes to artificial intelligence, robots, and maids, these three keywords, haven't you thought of adult toys?"
"How could you possibly think of that!"
"It's weirder if you don't think of it!"
As a result, the two almost quarreled.
…
Statistics show that China's overall market demand for adult supplies exceeded 50 billion in 15 years. From 2006 to 2016, the industry’s compound growth rate reached 30%. Ranked first among all unpopular profit-making industries. As for the size of the global market, there is currently no reliable data to estimate, but no matter which angle you think about it, this is not a small number.
Note, this is discussing market size!
Just a domestic robot is too wasteful. Obviously there is artificial intelligence, and the polyethylene material can imitate the touch of human skin. Why not further design products to meet more needs of singles based on existing robots!
Where can I find a female (male) friend who can do housework, cook, and warm the bed, and is never willful
Of course, there must be all-age housekeeping robots that only have housework capabilities, but of course the R18 high-simulation housekeeping robot is also indispensable!
But as a result, Amos' workload has increased.
Although he has studied ergonomics, he has no knowledge of adult products. Moreover, a series of new elements such as facial expression simulation, introduction of entries about personality and emotions in the primary artificial intelligence database, new postures, etc. all need to be designed.
In order to reduce his work burden, Jiang Chen increased the laboratory's budget and ordered him to form a project team to design this "high simulation" robot, which was still in the conceptual stage.
In addition, before leaving the laboratory, Jiang Chen warned him repeatedly.
The program in the chip must be encrypted by the packet software provided by the group. The primary artificial intelligence database is one of the world-leading core technologies of Future Man Group. Even if the D++ programming language will be open to the world soon, the artificial intelligence database will never be released so early.
Unless, the Future People Group gains new advantages.
…
After dealing with these, Jiang Chen went back to the apocalypse and found Du Yongkang with the software designed by Amos.
"The designer of this program has computer technology that has reached at least C level." After testing the program for a while, Du Yongkang held his chin and nodded reluctantly.
"If this guy applied for a job in your company before the war, would you hire him?" Jiang Chen asked.
Unable to figure out what the marshal meant, Du Yongkang rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then said carefully, "Ability assessment is only part of the application criteria. The game company I worked for before the war valued employees' creativity and work enthusiasm more. This kind of work at the graduation project level of a college student... can at least prove that his study in college was not in vain. My department may want it, but it may not want it."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If Amos, the former professor at the University of Munich, hears that the program he designed so hard is, in Du Yongkang's view, only a graduate level for college students, I wonder if this young double-degree doctor, who is known as a genius, will find out. Grab his neck and fight with him. I heard that Europeans have a tradition of fist exchanges whether they are in meetings or discussing academic issues.
"Can you bring him to our department?" Du Yongkang said immediately when he saw Jiang Chen was about to leave.
"Didn't you say that his level is only that of a college graduate?" Jiang Chen asked, rolling his eyes.
"Even high school students... We really don't have enough manpower in our department! At least we have C-level people! We have reached the standard! You promised us that as soon as there is a suitable person, you will be assigned to our department... "
Seeing that Du Yongkang started asking him for help again with snot and tears, Jiang Chen didn't say anything and stepped away before Du Yongkang started to hug his thigh... (.)
