While designing the weapons and other fire control systems, Ye Bai was also quickly working on the basic design of the four-legged unmanned mechanical firepower platform.
At this stage, whether it was domestic or foreign military robots or civilian robots developed by major companies, the behavior of each leg was controlled by the engine's control lever. The reason was that this technology was very mature.
However, in Ye Bai's opinion, this method of operation was no different from the mechanical principle of a car. Not to mention that it had nothing to do with intelligence, even from the development of car wheels to the era of bionic machinery, there was no technological progress!
Therefore, when Elder Huang was giving a lecture on robot technology, Ye Bai had a very bold and groundbreaking idea.
That was to directly use four small engines for the four-legged unmanned machine, and then concentrate the control of the four engines in the central " brain " of the four-legged unmanned machine.
In this way, the four-legged autonomous robot could avoid the rigid four-wheeled synchronized movement like other traditional robots or cars. Instead, each mechanical limb could make different movements under the command of the central " brain."
This four-legged unmanned machine could not only walk normally, but it could also make a series of tactical movements such as fast dodging and hiding.
When encountering complex terrains such as swamps, mountains, mud pits, etc., the four-legged unmanned machine could also adjust the movements and strength of different limbs according to its own posture to maintain rapid mobility and balance.
In this way, under the control of the central " brain " of the four-legged unmanned mechanical firepower platform, they would really be like bionic animals, with very stable and smooth mobility.
Even when climbing stairs during street fighting, he could rely on his outstanding ability to adjust his limbs to be as smooth as walking on flat ground.
For example, a traditional robot dog had four long legs, but when it walked, it was very mechanical and stiff. Even each leg could only move small movements. It was absolutely impossible to appear on a four-legged unmanned mechanical firepower platform.
Just from this point alone, the four-legged autonomous robot was ahead of other robots by a generation. In terms of mechanical movement, it was truly intelligent and bionic.
In addition, the four-legged drone had a separate engine at each leg joint, which also gave it a stronger load capacity and mobility.
In the design and development of the bio-robot, compared to these physical mechanical problems, the more difficult problem was the algorithm and programming problem of the four-legged spider's movement.
There was also how to let each leg know that it was stepping on a rock or a ditch, and let the mechanical leg convey this perception and feedback to the central " brain ", and the central brain would then give appropriate instructions to the corresponding leg distribution valve to maintain the balance and coordination of the entire body.
Therefore, it was not enough to achieve a theoretical balance in the design. There had to be a corresponding algorithm program to match.
Only then could the four-legged autonomous machine achieve true balance, and not fall down even when crossing obstacles or cross-country!
Of course, the most difficult part was to let the robotic leg sense the reality of the ground. For example, it could clearly know if it was stepping on a rock or a piece of poop, and it could " distinguish " what it was touching. This was a common problem for humans, but it was very difficult for the four-legged robotic leg to " learn ".
In order to give the four-legged robot the ability to sense, Ye Bai had designed a connection between the sensor and the server on the mechanical leg.
This could only be said to have given the four-legged unmanned machine the ability to transmit perception.
However, how to make it " intelligent " to distinguish what its legs were touching on the ground required the " brain " of the quadruped robot, which was the computer, to constantly learn.
Fortunately, Ye Bai had long had experience in developing this. Back when he was developing the next generation of suicide drones, Ye Bai had used a programmed bionic simulation environment, and then let the suicide drones swarm hundreds of thousands of offline simulation training on the supercomputer.
Therefore, Ye Bai was prepared to use the same method in the development of the four-legged unmanned mechanical firepower platform.
However, this time, the four-legged unmanned machine required a higher level of " intelligence ", so the simulation system that Ye Bai wrote needed to be more complicated.
In the following days, Ye Bai began to repeatedly enter his own research and development work.
Since Elder Huang had finished talking about the knowledge and technology, he agreed that the students could do research and development in the laboratory freely. Even if they went to the classroom, he would let his PhD students take over the class. Therefore, Ye Bai began to do research and development freely.
On the last day of November, as the weather gradually turned cold, Ye Bai finally finished the research and development of the weapon's fire control system and mechanical legs.
At the same time, Gao Yuan and his roommates had all returned from their lectures.
In fact, other than Ye Bai, the other students of the Weaponry Engineering Department were still insisting on attending classes.
Because Elder Huang's lecture was too fast, coupled with the high level of technical knowledge, they did not understand at all.
Now, in order to complete the homework that Elder Huang had given them, they could only concentrate on studying in the classroom and ask their senior brother for advice.
"Hey, since Elder Huang has already decided to go easy on our homework, why don't you go all the way?”
"We're going to make a small unmanned tank that's fully electric. Why do we have to design a remote control turret on it?”
Wang Kai sighed.
His self-study ability had greatly improved since he started taking classes with Elder Huang. In the past, it would take him months or even half a semester to fully understand a textbook. But now, in order to design an unmanned combat vehicle, he could study a technical book in the library every week.
Ye Bai had just finished a period of research and development work, so she couldn't help but smile when she heard her roommate's complaints.
"If you don't want the remote control of the turret and radar, Elder Huang only wants an electric car with a remote control. Don't you think this thing is a little familiar?”
Ye Bai asked.
"Familiar? How familiar?"
Gao Yuan came over and asked.
"What's the name of Daddy's daddy?"
Ye Bai reminded.
After hearing Ye Bai's words, everyone suddenly came to a realization.
If there was no long-distance control of the turret, coupled with the need for radar and other equipment to detect, wouldn't Elder Huang's homework be to build a toy car?
"Haha, from what you said, it seems like Elder Huang really takes good care of us!”
Wang Kai scratched his head in embarrassment.
If he didn't have the requirements of a remotely controlled turret and radar, he could really buy such a charged toy car from a high-end children's toy store outside the school with some money!
"By the way, Ye Bai, how's your homework coming along?”
"These days, you go to the laboratory every time we go to class. I didn't ask you properly!”
Wang Kai asked Ye Bai.
"Elder Huang's homework is quite difficult and challenging. I just solved the problem of how to run!”
Ye Bai said truthfully.
However, after hearing Ye Bai's words, the other roommates were confused.
How?
Wasn't it fine as long as there were wheels?
