The video materials they showed were circulated on the Internet, causing an uproar.

In the video materials, Boston Dynamics Robotics mainly displayed three kinds of robots, one is a robot dog, which is mainly used for mountain transportation, rescue and daily life assistance for the disabled.

In the demonstration video, the four legs of the robot dog can walk in coordination under the instructions of the smart chip, and there are no obstacles on flat roads, steep mountains, and even snow and ice. Not only that, this robot dog can also carry heavy objects, cross obstacles, open doors, jump and other actions.

The second is a sports robot, which completely simulates the human form, can walk and run like a human, not only that, but also complete various difficult sports.

For example, in the video, this kind of sports robot can perform horizontal bar flips, pole vaults, shooting and other sports like athletes.

The third is the mini-office robot, which is no longer a bionic form, but a downright machine. But it can be applied to a variety of office scenarios and actions, such as making coffee, cleaning floors or desks, printing, cutting, etc.

In fact, Boston Dynamics Robotics has been researching these robots for some years, and has been at the forefront of the world. But this time, they not only made more subtle progress in power, but also made amazing progress in intelligence.

They cooperated with Google, and Google provided them with intelligent services, so that these robots could listen to "understand" human words, complete the instructions communicated by humans orally, and have a certain ability to judge, no longer the dumb power robot before, but Intelligent power robot!

Netizens were amazed when they saw videos of robot dogs climbing mountains with heavy objects, robots doing gymnastics, and office robots doing office work.

Under the YouTube video, the comments of foreign netizens are all likes and pride.

"These robots are amazing! We are still at the forefront of robotics!"

"Awesome, these robots look like real people!"

"God, they're more flexible than me!"

"Robots will definitely replace humans in the future!"

"When can I make a robot girlfriend, my girlfriend is really annoying!"

...

Domestically, netizens reacted similarly.

"I have a hunch that the first robot world war is about to begin!"

"I have to say, these robots are advanced!"

"I heard that Boston Power has a US military background. What if they use robots in war?"

"Why doesn't Hongxin Group build robots? Their intelligence is stronger! Here @hongxin!"

"What if the robot breaks down?"

...

The impact of this incident is far from being as simple as a little bit of popularity on the Internet. Not long after the relevant incident came out, the Huaxia National Defense Science and Technology Department found the Hongxin Group.

In the secret conference room, Lu Zixin negotiated with several important personnel of the defense science and technology department.

"Boston Dynamics has been engaged in the research and development of military projects since it was spun off from MIT in 1992, and has received funding from DARPA (U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) for the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Army, Navy and The Marine Corps provides military robotics and related technical consulting services. The most prominent feature of the product is to simulate human behavior, and it is mainly used in defense mission testing and extreme environment rescue and other fields.”

The personnel of the defense science and technology department showed some Boston Dynamics materials and said: "The company's main orders also come from the U.S. military. According to the information we have learned, they already have mature products that have been put into military production. It seems that the United States has also increased its emphasis on this project and is ready to join research and manufacturing investment."

"The field of robotics is another major technological field for arms competition. In this regard, our science and technology department is also researching, and at present, there is a gap with the United States. What we did not expect is that their robotics research has developed so rapidly. Speaking of which, it also has a certain relationship with your Red Letter Group."

Lu Zixin said quickly, "We have no cooperation with them!"

"Of course we know that you misunderstood." The person from the Ministry of Defense Science and Technology said, "We are referring to the promotion of science and technology in related fields."

"Before, there were two important factors restricting the development of power robots. One was the problem of battery life. Before that, their power robots consumed a lot of energy and had a short battery life, so the U.S. military did not pay much attention to it. Until the new battery of Hongxin Group Technology came and they solved that problem with new batteries with super-sized energy storage."

"The second is machine intelligence. In recent years, artificial intelligence technology companies headed by Hongxin Group have developed rapidly, and robot intelligence has been greatly improved. The cooperation between Wodun Power and Google has made robot intelligence span at least ten years! All aspects The combination of factors contributed to the development of their robotics."

Lu Zixin smiled bitterly and said, "This can only be said to be a coincidence. After all, the emergence of every new technology may radiate and affect various industries."

"Yes, this is just a joke. The main purpose of our visit this time is for cooperation," said a person from the National Defense Science and Technology Department.

"In the field of robots?" Lu Zixin had already guessed half of it.

"That's right." The person from the National Defense Science and Technology Department continued, "We already have a certain research foundation in the field of robot power. It seems that Hongxin Group also has its own technical strength in this area. The most important thing is that in the robot intelligent system On the one hand, I have to admit that your strength is the best in the world."

"So we hope to cooperate with Hongxin Group to jointly develop a new generation of intelligent robots."

...

There are many details of the negotiation, which are confidential and should not be disclosed to outsiders.

In the end, the two sides reached a cooperation agreement. The national defense science and technology department will separate a certain part of the team from a robot scientific research department under its own, and then the Hongxin Group will also divide the intelligent and mechanical power system team from its own subsidiary. A new company jointly controlled by Fang and Hongxin.

The new company is mainly engaged in the research and development and manufacture of intelligent robots, focusing on areas including civilian, industrial and military applications.

The headquarters of the new company will also be located in the city of the future.

Externally, this company does not directly hang the name of Hongxin Group, but is called "Future City Intelligent Robot Technology Co., Ltd.". Neither the military nor the Hongxin Group has publicly announced it, so there is no news on the news, and almost no public knows that in the city of the future, an intelligent robot manufacturing company has been established!
