Stuttering and heat over
While dancing can be fun and impressive, it does not actually show how useful humanitarian robots are in real -world situations. Even capable of running half of the marathon is not a very useful criterion for their skills – it is not like market demand for robots that can compete with human runners. The criteria that the porridge matters to is how well they can do a variety of real -world tasks without step -by -step instructions. “But I expect China to change this year to focus more on doing useful things, because people are tired of dancing and karate,” says Fern.
The robots competing in the competition came in many ways. The shortest was only 2 feet and 5 inches tall. Wearing a blue and white dress and every few seconds to the scenic landscapes, it was probably a favorite of the crowd. The tallest, with five feet nine inch, was the winner of Tiangong Ultra.
What all the robots share together is that they are twin instead of running on the wheels, required to participate in the race. As long as the robots meet this condition, they were free for creativity, and companies behind them adopted a wide range of strategies to try to gain advantage of their competitors. Some of them were wearing sneakers as much as the kids (though they were twisted to prevent falling into their pedals). Others were equipped with knee pads to protect their subtle parts when falling. Many robots have removed their fingers and some were even missing – however, you do not need such pieces, and eliminate them reduces the weight of a robot and the amount of load placed on their engines.
The Tiangong Ultra and another model, the N2 robot made by the Chinese company Noetix Robotics, who took the second place in the competition, stood up for their continuous and slow speed. The performance of other anthropologists was more catastrophic. One of the robots, Huanhuan, who had a human-like head, was only moving at a snail for a few minutes while his head trembled uncontrollable-as it could be eliminated at any time.
Another robot, Shennong, looks like a real Frankenstein monster, with a head that looks like Gondam and four drones that are backward. This is an eight -wheel base on one base and it is not yet clear how this was not just disqualification. But this was not even the biggest problem by Shennong, because it wrapped up the wall immediately after getting off the starting line, hitting the wall and lowering its human operators. Watching it was painful.
It was proven that the duct bar is the most effective problem solving tool. The companions not only made prefabricated robots shoes with the conduit tape, but also used it to attach a robot’s head to their bodies, after they were repeatedly performed during the performance and made very controversial scenes.
Each robot had human operators, often running two or three. Some control panels that allowed them to provide robot instructions, including how fast they go, while other operators guided the way for their robots and tried to clear possible barriers to the ground. A few humans were kept on what it seemed to be, good, domestic animals. “You want to think more about these robots that run like a remote control car during the race, but the robots have no wheels,” Fern says.
