Chapter 26 Is there anything wrong?

Zhang Yuan turned on his tablet and began to study it carefully.

After studying mathematics for so long, you may be able to study my father's articles, add your own thoughts, and organize it into a paper.

The whole-body action mapping robot wants to achieve: when a human does an action, the robot will make an almost identical action, similar to the robot arm that Ye Kaifu just made.

Don’t underestimate this function, it is the basis and premise of “powered exoskeleton”!

Powered exoskeleton, also known as powered arsenal, is a major research hotspot at present.

It is not only a war weapon, but also used for civil use, for example: directly replaces space suits.

Due to the vigorous development of nanomaterials, spacesuits are developing in a simple and light direction. But one thing is inevitable: in any case, spacesuits have to carry a large oxygen cylinder, as well as a large number of life-saving systems and communication systems.

The universe is dangerous. Whether it is air leakage or temperature loss, any mistake will kill people. These life-saving systems must be carried, and no small amount can be used.

So scientists imagined that they might simply use the more bulky guy "power armor" instead of space suits. Anyway, with power armor, no matter how much you carry, it will not worry about it, and it will be safer and more reliable. Even if the thick armor is hit by high-speed moving space garbage, it is nothing.

In addition to replacing space suits, Power A can be connected to humans through VR equipment to replace humans to do some dangerous and difficult tasks. Humans only need to remotely control it and are no longer in danger of life.

It is easy to say but difficult to do. The research on dynamic exoskeletons has been going on for ten years and is still in the experimental stage.

The main reason is...the technology is immature.

To give a simple example, holding a balloon with one hand and then shaking up and down, left and right at high speeds, this action is simply for humans.

But for robots, it is undoubtedly difficult to reach the sky!

Why? Robots have no self-awareness. They don’t know how much force they use or how they should shake. All of these need to be solved by mathematics.

No matter how sensitive a sensor is, it cannot be as functional as human skin. When holding a balloon, you must first adjust the coordinated pressure of the robot. The force cannot be too high or too small, otherwise it will be directly pinched and exploded. It will be even more difficult to shake at high speed.

It is said that 10 years ago, a small company invented a patent for rapid pressure measurement - the "MIA Pressure Sensing System", which is the leather glove used by Ye Kaifu. The patent fees earned as many as hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

Of course, in addition to synergistic pressure, there are more and more difficulties, such as joint driving forces, body balance ability, control algorithms, etc. Such complex projects, various hardware and software, and codes that can often cost millions of lines, are not something that Zhang Yuan alone can do.

Therefore, he just wanted to solve one of the more critical problems and then write a paper or patent. It would be better if it could bring income to the foundation.

"Come on, write your paper!"

Just do it, a line of small words appears on the screen.

"A theory of kinematic analysis of high-degree-of-freedom robots based on geometric group theory and topology"...

The more you study it, the more you read it, the more you feel that the thoughts are profound and complicated.

In my father's idea, he mainly studies the complex kinematics of the "27 degrees of freedom" robot, which contains group theory, topology, and some super-plural knowledge, which seems quite difficult.

Even if you understand the inspiration, it does not mean that the entire paper will be released smoothly.

My father only gave a rough direction, and Zhang Yuan had to complete the many blanks behind him.

Writing a paper is a very painful thing. It is like a sponge squeezed water. It has a lot of details to do, and it is not easy to fully display the inspiration.

Zhang Yuan's brain was running rapidly and entered a state of high concentration. He tried to clarify the whole idea, but was soon stuck by a large number of detailed questions.

Sometimes this is the case. Many problems that seem "obvious" become obstacles when writing papers and become very "unobvious".

Zhang Yuan sighed deeply.

"So many degrees of freedom kinematics, coupled with strange algorithms, with my current ability, I can only understand it, but I really can't propose it independently. I don't know how my dad came up with it..."

"By the way, Ye Kaifu, can you show me your control program?"

"What program?" Ye Kaifu turned his head.

"It's the program of that robot."

"Oh, okay, there's no problem. I'm not very proficient in this kind of programming, which is just a wild path..." Ye Kaifu said very cautiously.

To say that you are not very proficient is actually a modest statement.

Being able to write related programs is much better than normal undergraduates!

Ye Kaifu looked at Zhang Yuan with some enthusiasm, wanting to know how good this new roommate is.

Young people always have a competitive mentality, especially when these astronauts from all over the world are likely to be quite excellent.

Soon, the relevant programs were sent to Zhang Yuan's computer.

Zhang Yuan pinched his nose and looked at the procedures.

How to say it? Ye Kaifu is indeed a layman and has poor programming habits...

I won't say much about it without any comments in the code. The names of various variables and functions are actually "a", "b", "c", and "d", which makes people confused.

The disadvantage of doing this is that if it takes a long time, the programmer himself may forget what his code is doing.

However, the algorithm content inside is much simpler than the idea proposed by my father.

Soon, he analyzed the general idea.

The whole leather glove is a very sensitive pressure sensor. Changes in human fingers will cause changes in the pressure of the leather gloves. Therefore, after processing these data through some algorithm, the specific direction of movement of the finger can be obtained.

"Then you pass the direction of movement to the robot, and you can move it."

This idea is very intuitive and does not have particularly good mathematical modeling. It mainly relies on the functions of the "MIA pressure sensor".

If you follow the real scientific research evaluation criteria, it is the "normal" level.

Of course, Ye Kaifu is just an undergraduate and cannot ask too much. No one expects undergraduates to do earth-shaking work.

Zhang Yuan thought carefully and analyzed a lot of improvements.

"Brother, is there anything wrong?" Ye Kaifu saw Zhang Yuan's expression on his face, thought hard for a while, then frowned again, and asked with concern.

But he muttered in his heart, can you really understand the entire algorithm in such a short time?

It shouldn't be, at least I thought about it for a long time...

Anyway, my ex-girlfriend and her male best friend will definitely not understand it.
Chapter completed!
