Hearing that Li Fengting was visiting, Lu An put down what he was doing and went to meet him.
With the exception of Meng Qiuyan, no one in the company knows that Li Fengting is from the military. This time he came to Yuanjie Intelligent Control for a plainclothes visit, and he did not report his military status to the company's front desk.
Two minutes later, Lu An arrived at the company reception room to meet Li Fengting. The two sides met again and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Li Fengting said with a smile: "In just a few months, your company has developed really fast."
Hearing this, Lu An smiled and said: "Without the country's intervention to provide a good environment for the company, we would not have been able to develop so smoothly."
After a few simple chats, Li Fengting got to the point: "After comprehensive research and judgment, the country and the military have confirmed that they will promote armed humanoid robots. This military research project has been approved and will be carried out by your company Metaverse Intelligent Control."
Li Fengting looked at Lu An and smiled and said: "How is it? Comrade Lu An, how confident are you in the technical problem?"
Lu An confidently replied: "The hype is not as good as the actual machine." Demonstrate that in the past few months, I have made targeted improvements and upgrades to the fighting robots we built within the company to adapt to the battlefield environment, and the performance in all aspects has been greatly improved."
Hearing this, Li Fengting looked surprised: "Oh?"
Lu An immediately smiled and said: "Colonel Li, are you interested in taking a look?"
Li Fengting immediately said: "Then I have to take a look first."
The two parties stood up and left the reception room. Lu An took him out of the office building and to an independent commercial building purchased by the company, which serves as the current technology research and development building of Metaverse Intelligent Control.
Enter a large laboratory inside the building. There are more than fifty people here.
They are all technical developers selected by Lu An from within the company. They form a team to secretly develop armed humanoid robots.
The laboratory is very large, covering an area of 1,275 square meters, which is the size of three standard basketball courts.
Li Fengting was immediately attracted by the scene inside the venue. His eyes were fixed on a row of tall and mighty humanoid robots. There were a total of 6 robots standing side by side, all with a height of more than 2 meters.
These robots are made of different materials and have different models, but they are all experimental models.
After a while, Li Fengting's eyes turned to the technician who was testing the equipment at 11 o'clock. The man was standing on a special platform. In addition, there was a suspension support on his back to provide him with stability and limit his range of activities to only this platform.
The platform under his feet was paved with a strange floor. This floor was made of a large number of cylindrical structures with a diameter of about 1 cm.
At this moment, no matter which direction he moved on the platform, whether walking or sprinting, he always remained within the platform.
Li Fengting walked over immediately, and everyone noticed this unfamiliar new face. Lu An said to everyone: "This is Colonel Li Fengting from a certain military department. You can show Colonel Li the secrets in the laboratory."
Everyone was suddenly enlightened upon hearing this, and they were busy with their work again.
At this time, Li Fengting asked: "Comrade Lu An, is this set of equipment needed for the "human-machine collaboration mode" you once said?"
Lu An introduced in an orderly manner: "Yes, this is our weapon for armed The "omnidirectional motion platform" developed by Robot Adaptation. The surface of the platform is composed of a large number of rotating cylindrical structures with a diameter of about 1 cm. "The bottom gear structure of each rotating cylindrical structure controls the rotation, and the top gear structure controls the angle of the head."
“Rely on the laser radar system to automatically capture the movement patterns of the person’s waist, legs and feet, and predict the person’s movements in real time to achieve synchronization.” Now the platform can move freely in 360 degrees. When a person walks on the platform, the platform will synchronize the active direction translation in real time to offset the actual displacement and keep the person within the limited space. Li Fengting suddenly understood and nodded.
Lu An introduced the many technical highlights of this equipment to Li Fengting one by one.
“Optical or pressure sensor: Capture foot movements. The non-contact optical sensor can achieve 1:1 foot position tracking with extremely low latency.”
"Force feedback system: simulates terrain resistance through vibration, air pressure or electrical muscle stimulation, and the reaction force of different terrains. For example, the touch of going up steps or slopes can be simulated through pneumatic devices."
Lu An walked around to the other side and pointed to some equipment on the platform and gave a brief introduction. : "This is a motion capture sensor, including inertial sensors, optical cameras, pressure pads, etc., distributed on the feet, waist and whole body, used to track movements."
"This is the main control unit, used to process sensor data, coordinate platform movement and feedback, and is supported by high-performance computers or cloud servers."
At this point, Lu An tilted his head and looked at Li Fengting and smiled and said: "The algorithm matches the sensor data with the virtual environment in real time to ensure that the action is consistent with the visual feedback. For example, when a person turns left while running, the algorithm will simultaneously adjust the steering of the virtual character and simulate centrifugal force through force feedback."
< br/> "The platform allows people to move within a space of 2 to 3 square meters. Through the omnidirectional motion platform and motion capture system technology, the robot can be controlled to move freely, walk, sprint, jump, fight, etc."
Li Fengting didn't know how serious it was, and just nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Lu An pointed to the many devices worn by the testers on the platform, and then said: "These facilities allow people to obtain multi-sensory collaborative feedback. He wore tactile gloves on both hands, which simulated hand touch through microfluidics, and the sensors covering the palms could simulate grasping. Take the pressure and texture of objects, such as the concave and convex feeling of a gun. "
"The special clothing he wears is a somatosensory suit, which can even synchronize the temperature changes in the environment where the frontline robot is located through electrical pulses or simulated feelings such as being hit and being blown by wind."
"The entire equipment adopts lightweight materials and ergonomic structure to support users of different heights and can be used without adjustment. At the same time, the platform support frame, combined with waist straps and guardrails, prevents users from falling and ensures safety during intense movements."
"In addition, the VR helmet equipment worn on the head integrates an audio system with 360-degree surround sound, which can synchronize the sounds in the environment of the frontline robot, such as gunfire, wind, footsteps, etc."
Lu An turned to Li Fengting and added: "The technical development of the entire equipment has reached It has reached 95%, and we are currently working on the related technologies of VR headsets. We plan to use retinal projection technology to provide high-resolution visual feedback.” After listening to Lu An’s introduction, Li Fengting looked at the omnidirectional motion platform and slowly exclaimed: “It’s amazing!”
