Future robotics and 3D Fusion

We were lucky to have participated in the fifth play of the bigtalk organized by Baidu baijia in October 27, with the theme of "reshaping the future of Robots ". The three "Great gods" were well-known and influential in the circle. Wang Haifeng, vice president of Baidu technology, gave a speech titled "Let machines think like people", hodlipson, director of the Institute of creative robotics at Cornell University, forbes called him the "seven best robots and big data experts in the world" and gave a speech titled "challenges to the machine Congress"; danielarus ), director of the MIT Center for computer and AI, entitled "manufacturing revolution in the digital age".

  The three guests talked about robot technology, especially the development of intelligent robot technology. They revealed how robots learn, how they work together, and how they think like people. And how to make long-term progress in the digital age after the rise of 3D printing. The insights that flash in the speech give a clear analysis of the current and future development of robots.

  Now, we have entered a new era. For humans, robots can not only reduce expensive labor, engage in more dangerous activities, but also influence human emotional life in multiple forms. People have different attitudes towards robots. Some people are afraid of the idea of replacing humans with robots for work, while others are excited.

  However, the ultimate dream of scientists is to create our own images: To create intelligent robots, to think like humans, but to obey human society. Now these machines will constantly enter the 17th century from a technical perspective, turning the robots in science fiction into reality. Robots have influenced all aspects of our lives.

  Wang Haifeng explains how to think comprehensively in terms of language, knowledge, and human understanding. According to his explanation, comprehensive thinking can be presented in many aspects. For example, a small robot can answer questions. What is behind it is the understanding of the language and understanding of the knowledge to form a "deep Q & A technology ". Small-scale robots not only have the ability to interact with languages, but also recognize sounds and images. This is the "intelligent interaction of multi-channel and multi-round dialogs ".

  From small aspects, some medicine, to large aspects, explores our universe. From our manufacturing industry to our family, robots make great contributions to the progress of science and technology, this makes our living environment better. To be able to build robots, we need a wide range of technologies. We need sensing technology to allow us to interact with the physical world. We need decision-making, human-machine interaction, and support software and hardware for robotics.

  Today, the explosion of 3D printing technology has brought more possibilities. 3D printing technology has already played a role in education, construction, industry and other fields. In the future, it will be applied in more fields, and printing materials will be richer. Metal, ceramics, sand, plastic, and even cream can print out any desired shape, of course, it also includes shapes that cannot be achieved by previous technologies. It is worth mentioning that Hu Di Lipson also presented his 3D printing technology at the scene and explained in detail how to use it to promote the intelligent development of robots in the future.

Hu Di Lipson explained the major breakthroughs brought by 3D printing technology in robot manufacturing.

Danera Russ said it was not a dream to bake a robot in an oven. Of course, the raw material is not a batter, but a new type of 3D printing material. When you start the oven, It can automatically "ferment" in it to form a cute robot. The magical oven is equipped with a 3dcad system that can respond to heat. When you set the heat, it allows 3D materials to change the shape according to the design. That is to say, you put the flat 3D plastic material into this high-tech oven, and the 3D robot will come out. Cut 3D materials, set the system, adjust the temperature, and everything is ready, so please wait patiently for the "fresh and delicious" robot to come out!

Dannera Russ gave a speech titled "manufacturing revolution in the digital age ".

  Even scientists have developed a self-assembled paper robot that can be used to explore outer space and other dangerous environments. This type of robot is made of materials from a toy store, costing only $100. After micro-batteries and engines are installed on them, paper robots can stand up with four thick legs, which can walk without any regularity. Moreover, it takes only four minutes for a robot to change from a piece of paper to a robot.

  For the idea that "intelligent robots may harm humans" feared by ordinary people, danera Russ demonstrated another idea: the robot "body" controlled by mobile apps ". That is to say, robots do not exist independently, but need to follow human commands. Wang Haifeng introduced artificial intelligence technologies such as Baidu brain, NLP (natural language understanding), and deep learning. They can help robots better understand humans, think smarter, and learn by themselves, however, these technologies are on the cloud.

  The cloud-based "brain" cannot be connected to devices like mobile phones. They need WiFi, Internet, and cloud intelligence ". Perhaps this is the future development of robots: the brain and body of robots are separated. On the one hand, humans can put robots under control, it controls the cloud, the Internet, and the idea of robots. On the other hand, robots can grow faster. For example, if Baidu brain has the intelligence of a three-year-old child, then any new robot will have this intellectual base, instead of starting from 0 like a baby.

  In the digital age, everything is possible, especially the ever-changing 3D printing technology. From the development of large hosts and desktop systems, the emergence of computer sensing functions, the generation of embedding technology, physical micro-computing capabilities to robotics, to programmable material fields, the computation changes greatly. It can be programmed not only on the device, but also on the physical shape, such as elasticity, folding, and light. Scientists will be able to create a system that they can use to present to us.

  To create a perfect robot, three points are required. First, we must learn mathematics and formulate theoretical theorems. Second, we must learn mathematics. To know how to program, you need to know how to execute these systems, whether it is hardware or software. Finally, you need to have the courage to pursue your dreams and realize your dreams, be able to think about what new capabilities can be added to robots.

  In short, robots in a narrow sense need to be divided into three parts: observation, analysis, and execution. The corresponding (only hardware) technologies are sensor technology, computer technology, and automatic control technology. From the software perspective, the progress of linguistics is supplemented by data mining, which makes computer processing of human language a new step. Here we must mention the impact of Internet technology on artificial intelligence. Quantitative changes produce qualitative changes. When the data volume reaches a new order of magnitude, a robot will gradually approach the Turing testing standard.

The three guests who spoke at the activity held a discussion.

  In looking at the future development of robotics, Hu Di Lipson is optimistic about the future of robotics. He believes that it is only a matter of time for robots to surpass humans. In the eyes of many people, robots are constantly evolving and any new ecosystem will eventually compete. However, Ms. danera Russ is relatively optimistic. She believes that robots are created by humans and that humans have the wisdom to control them, such as a destruction key.

  The fifth bullet in the "The bigtalk" themed "Robots reshaping the future of life" profoundly explains the great progress that robots have made in intelligent and diversified shapes, and make rational imagination of the future, so that participants can gain a lot. The professional knowledge of the three guests and their enthusiasm for science and technology also infected the participants, which may trigger more ideological sparks.
