Chapter 184 Robot Competition, Drone
After chatting with Xu Songyao, Wang Donglai went to the laboratory to find Zheng Hua, the principal who did not look like a principal.
Logically speaking, as a principal, he should spend more time in the office in charge of school affairs, or go to meetings across the country, etc.
But Zheng Hua is not like this.
After becoming the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University, he still maintained his previous habit of going into the laboratory when he had nothing to do.
After all, in addition to his status as principal, he also has an status as an academician.
Although Xu Songyao is also the principal, after all, he still carries a subtitle.
For some things, Xu Songyao’s words don’t count, Zheng Hua still has to make the decision.
After bidding farewell to Xu Songyao, Wang Donglai went directly to the laboratory of Tangdu Jiaotong University to find Zheng Hua.
As an expert in the field of automatic control, Zheng Hua is actually more like an engineer than a manager.
When I saw Zheng Hua in the laboratory, he was adjusting the data of a machine, concentrating on it, and showing a very obvious love in his expression.
Wang Donglai did not make any noise to disturb Zheng Hua, but stood aside and waited quietly.
Half an hour later.
Zheng Huacai clapped his hands and stood up straight.
He turned his head, looked at Wang Donglai on the side, and asked aloud: "How is it? Are you interested in developing in this area?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he invited Wang Donglai to join this field.
“Okay!”
Wang Donglai originally had this intention, so he naturally agreed.
“Hmm, huh?”
Zheng Hua agreed casually, and then he reacted and let out a surprise.
"No, are you serious?"
Zheng Hua's expression became serious, and he asked again with a trace of curiosity.
"Well, I do have this idea and plan to develop in the field of artificial intelligence, so I come to see you, the principal, to learn from you."
With a big boss like Zheng Hua here , he will naturally not miss it. Zheng Hua's academic status and academic ability can greatly help Wang Donglai's progress in artificial intelligence.
It's not that Zheng Hua's academic strength can be much better than Wang Donglai's, but with such an academician in a related field sitting in charge, it will naturally make his breakthroughs more natural and not appear abrupt.
"Artificial intelligence? Why are you thinking about developing this area again?" Zheng Hua's brows furrowed more and more tightly. He was not very excited, but rather worried.
Wang Donglai, a truly international mathematician, will definitely become famous all over the world as long as he follows the steps.
By the way, it can also raise China's level in the field of mathematics to another level.
But if such a future top mathematician suddenly changes his research direction to a bottomless research field like artificial intelligence, it will probably greatly affect Wang Donglai's development.
In this case, Zheng Hua might become a sinner.
"Artificial intelligence is the future, and the mathematics I am good at can also play some role in this aspect, and maybe it can also promote some other breakthroughs for me."
Wang Donglai simply gave a reason and Not much was said.
“Let’s sit here and chat.” Zheng Hua pointed to the office on one side and said to Wang Donglai.
The two walked to the office outside the laboratory and sat down. After pouring tea, Zheng Huacai then asked: "You came to the laboratory to tell me these things, right?"
" Well, there is indeed something else. When I was at Harvard, I discussed something with Professor Qiu Chengtong, and planned to change the rules of the original Qiu Competition. At that time, the major universities will jointly organize it, increase bonuses, and strengthen training. Improve academic content”
Wang Dong was speaking in general terms, but Zheng Hua's eyes were shining.
After being excited for a moment, Zheng Hua calmed down.
"This is not easy to do. You have posed a difficult problem for me. Tsinghua University will definitely not change the rules easily. But this opportunity is not bad. With the academic skills of you and Qiu Chengtong, With such status, I might be able to cultivate some top-notch mathematical talents in the country.”
Although I don’t care much about the management of school affairs, I still have the most basic management skills.
"I have handed over this matter to Professor Qiu. When the time comes, Professor Qiu will communicate with them. If it succeeds, then everyone will be happy. If not, then we will just create another competition." Wang Donglai It was an understatement, but the tone was full of confidence.
He has the confidence to say this because he has the ability.
"You young people!" Zheng Hua heard the meaning of Wang Donglai's words, shook his head and sighed.
"This matter is not urgent. Let's wait and see how Qiu Chengtong communicates with the other side. If everything goes well, it's okay. If everything doesn't go well, we'll talk about it then. Maybe by that time, I won't Tangdu became the president of Jiaotong University, and later Let the next person handle the matter.”
“But don’t worry, there will be no problem with what I agreed with you before I left.”
Zheng Hua hesitated for a moment, but still. Wang Donglai said this.
His ancestral home is Tangdu. He received his undergraduate and master's degrees at Tangdu Jiaotong University, and has been working at Tangdu Jiaotong University since 1994 until now.
It can be said that after spending more than 20 years in Tangdu, I still have some feelings for Tangdu Jiaotong University.
Hearing Zheng Hua's words, Wang Donglai was not surprised at all, because Zheng Hua is already 61 years old and has almost reached the retirement age, so it is not a surprise to retire.
But...
"Principal, the future is uncertain. We will only know when it happens."
Wang Donglai said something ambiguous, which seemed a bit strange, but Zheng Hua didn't put his mind on it.
"Since you are interested in artificial intelligence, I welcome it. When working on big data models, your mathematical skills can save a lot of things. If you need the support of the school, just do it That is to say, the school will definitely do its best if it can satisfy it. Satisfy you.”
“By the way, the application materials for outstanding students will be sent to you later. Just prepare the materials and submit them to the school in accordance with the above requirements.”
Suddenly thought of something, Zheng Hua said to Wang Donglai.
Wang Donglai asked curiously: "Isn't the selection of outstanding youth already over?"
"The past is in the past, but it doesn't affect you. Hand in the information first. Then it depends on whether it will come with next year or if it is a special matter." Zheng Hua patiently explained to Wang Donglai said.
"Yes." Wang Donglai nodded, indicating that he understood.
......
After talking with the school, Wang Donglai started his own action.
The topic of artificial intelligence sounds high-end, but in fact it is not as presented in TV movies.
Make an intelligent AI of a virtual character, and then ask people to order the intelligent AI to do things.
Even the simplest artificial intelligence requires a large amount of data and information. Therefore, in the first step, Wang Donglai first used the super server prepared in advance by Galaxy Technology to store the data and information needed for preparation.
Then, I modified my code data while studying.
Try to make the programming more complete and avoid too many BUGs.
Artificial Intelligence is a very broad concept.
Under this, there are more sub-fields.
Wang Donglai’s current level of disciplines means that it is not easy to perfect artificial intelligence on his own.
If only non-core coding was handed over to Galaxy Technology programmers, the time required could be greatly reduced, but Wang Donglai rejected this idea without even thinking about it.
Because he had high hopes for this artificial intelligence and linked many subsequent plans.
Naturally, he was worried about letting others get involved. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.
Not only Wang Donglai was busy, but others also secretly held their breath because of Wang Donglai's growth.
So as soon as school started, everyone became busy.
Among them, the robot team formed by Xue Tao and Ma Rui was the most active.
We are all of the same age, and have all been admitted to Tangdu Jiaotong University, and we are in the same dormitory.
Although the relationship is very good at the moment, as Wang Donglai's achievements become greater and greater, these old friends will only gradually be marginalized if they don't make progress.
Whether it is for themselves or for this friendship, they must improve themselves.
I agreed to Xue Tao's guidance on the robot, so after they had figured out the plan and other general things, Wang Donglai found them in the study room.
In the study room.
Wang Donglai frowned as he looked at the design plan and the competition rules of the National College Student Robot Competition handed to him by Xue Tao.
In fact, this was his first contact with him.
Just like the National College Student Modeling Competition of the Higher Education Society, without contact, you will not know this information at all.
This is a university. There are many possibilities. You can participate in competitions, study for graduate school, take public exams, join clubs, or even start a business in school.
Competitions in this category have relatively high requirements, so they are relatively rare.
The National Robot Competition will start next month. It can be said that there is not much time.
The theme of this year’s robot competition is also very simple, called ‘Greening the Planet’.
The rules are also very simple. The competition area is divided into the earth (with the longitude and latitude mark in the middle of the field), space area, manual area, automatic area (respectively the red and blue areas in the field), space area Shown is the Moon (a wooden disk lying flat on top of a cylindrical column at the prime meridian). During the competition, the manual robots of both teams will first place the 'seedlings' into specific areas on the earth, and then the two robots will collaborate to send the 'seedlings' to the moon to achieve the purpose of greening the planet.
Seeing such competition rules, Wang Donglai immediately imagined various exquisite robot shapes in his mind.
But when he saw the ideas and machine models prepared by Xue Tao and others, he didn't know what to say.
A few people are not incompetent. Even the three girls, Wang Qingchen and Chen Mengni, who were thrust in to make up the numbers, knew the importance of this event and worked hard.
Therefore, the plan of a few people is actually quite good, at least it can meet the competition standards.
But in Wang Donglai's eyes, it was simply extremely crude.
There is no sophistication and sophistication as those super-intelligent robots he has seen.
"The plan you designed is not very good. I think even if you participate in the competition, it will be difficult to win the prize!"
Because they are all acquaintances and the relationship is relatively close, Wang Donglai did not shy away from anything, directly Just tell the truth, no sugarcoating anything.
In fact, several people were not surprised by Wang Donglai's comments.
They have all agreed that Wang Donglai is a genius, and it is normal to know more, even if he is a robot.
“First of all, the appearance of the machine you designed is not qualified enough, it is too simple and has no aesthetic feeling.”
“Secondly, regarding the rules of the competition, you are still limited to traditional thinking. , without thinking boldly and making breakthroughs, for example, why does it have to be this shape? Wouldn’t it be possible to complete the competition task by changing it to another type?”
“The last thing is the technical content of your plan? If it’s not enough, it’s naturally difficult to win an award.”
Wang Donglai put down the plan that several people had worked hard to prepare and expressed his opinion.
When they heard Wang Donglai give three valid reasons, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Dong Lai, what you said is very clear. You design a plan for us and we will be responsible for executing it!"
Wang Qingchen said to Wang Donglai hurriedly with a happy face.
Xue Tao and Ma Rui's expressions were slightly stagnant, but they did not speak.
Although Wang Donglai didn't notice the change in the expressions of the two people, he could have imagined this. If he really designed it himself and asked them to do what he wanted without moving, then who would be competing?
He came here, firstly, to see their ideas and plans, and secondly, to guide them in thinking, not to think for them.
Shaking his head, Wang Donglai glanced at a few people and said, "Okay, I said I was just giving you pointers, you still have to do the real work."
" Just in time, I have prepared the division of labor for you."
"Second sister is in charge of programming, you two, Xue Tao and Ma Rui, are in charge of electrification, Guo Xing, you are in charge of logistics, and Meng Ni. Purchase materials responsibly.”
"I'll give you a plan. Abandon the original robot model and replace it directly with a drone."
"The competition rules do not stipulate the type of robot. It must be running on the ground. You can definitely use it." Drone competition is not necessarily about technology, but it also tests your creative ideas to a large extent. ”
“Of course, if you want to use drones, you have to do a lot, such as image recognition, information processing, obstacle avoidance, etc. These are all difficulties you have to overcome.”
When Wang Donglai came here, the expressions of several people became a little depressed. In fact, just thinking about what Wang Donglai said, several people felt weak in their hearts.
The difficulty of the drone is much higher than the previous plan they put together.
Another meaning of high-end is difficulty. It is not that difficult to realize this idea.
Of course, a few people also know that if a drone is really used to compete, there will be a prize anywhere, as long as the drone can fly without any problems.
Wang Donglai naturally noticed the changes in the expressions of several people, and deliberately paused before continuing: "But don't worry, since I have proposed it, there will definitely be a way for you to realize it, but you I have to give twelve points as well. If you don't have the energy to do it, it might be really difficult to complete it. After all, I'm just a guide, and I won't overwhelm you."
"I'm just waiting for Donglai to say this. I feel relieved!" Ma Rui was the first to agree.
"Don't say 12 points of energy, just 20 points will do!" Xue Tao also said with a smile on his face.
Naturally, the three women had no problem and nodded in agreement.
