Minke's black technology

Chapter 173 Walking is a Problem (1 more)
The reply from the foot pot chicken was very fast, and after asking for a suitable authorization fee, he signed and agreed.

It is said that the CLAMP aunts are very interested in this kind of computer angel-like otaku companionship, and they even asked for a prototype from Meowstar Technology. The appearance is of course the appearance of the comic heroine Xiaoji.

Xiaoji, who has transformed from a Two-dimensional character into the real world, does not look like a real person, and will not trigger the uncanny valley limit of human beings. Instead, he looks like a high-end rubber doll, the kind of figure that is the same height as a real person.

That kind of figurine is not cheap, and the outer layer of silicone alone costs tens of thousands to 10,000+. Now, if artificial intelligence and bed use are added, the price will simply break through the sky, and it is estimated that it can reach one million yuan. not enough.

"The cost of this layer of silica gel is still too high, and it must be brought down!"

The people in the marketing department think that it is necessary to control the price, and they have indeed found a special supplier. The rabbits of the flower growers are very good at this kind of thing. As long as they can be handed over to the rabbits for production, they have a way to reduce the cost to the price of cabbage. .

In fact, the people in the marketing department want to divide the products into three, six, and nine grades, and catch all the low, middle and high market users. Anyway, the rabbit family has the world's largest silicone doll manufacturer. As long as Meowstar Technology is willing to put up a brand, they are willing to help OEM.

"Our little jerk can talk and communicate, and has a certain amount of intelligence. It can carry out special emotional dialogues according to the scene. If the user is willing, he can even teach it to learn specific actions through practicing together..."

Where can I find such a perfect Two-dimensional girlfriend!
I'm afraid nerds with feet in the pot are willing to lose their fortunes for this!
Zhao Baibing and the others have quite a few veteran otaku drivers. Of course, they know what makes them cool. In terms of R&D and design, they have developed the main service functions of Xiaoji to perfection. Even the top doll companies in the world cannot achieve this level. .

In fact, this is indeed the case. After a week or two of preparation, the otaku companion named "Xiaoji" finally started mass production.

In order to see the real reaction of the market, Meowstar Technology decided to test the water at the Magic City Comic Con.

So without notifying any media, Xiaoji suddenly appeared in front of many nerds.

Although Xiaoji cannot walk on two legs, she can sit on the mattress and communicate with people, and this exhibition is divided into two parts: the external exhibition and the internal exchange meeting. Of course, Xiaoji sits outside and chats with the audience , to answer some questions based on your questions.

Nowadays, the intelligent robots on the bad streets also have the function of voice dialogue, but it is a very difficult technical problem to communicate like a real person!
For example, when many people ask questions, how to distinguish who said the sentence, and the meaning of the same sentence in various environments, etc., usually a few more sentences can tell whether the robot is stupid or not.

Xiaoji, which has a small assistant language function module, perfectly solves such problems.

She can accurately identify all language meanings, but she may still have some shortcomings in understanding multiple semantics, but she can be fooled by the cute expression of Xiaoji, so that most people can't find it. In fact, this person I can't understand all the conversations.

Xiaoji can accurately analyze the semantics according to the language function module, and then transmit the information to the AI ​​function module for processing, and then give appropriate feedback on movement and expression.

This ability to accurately distinguish the speaker of each person, and the performance of communicating with multiple people at the same time without hindrance, is enough to make those nerds continue to say "oh hoo".

The other internal exchange exhibition has some [-] bans. Only adult men who have checked their ID cards are eligible to apply to go in. Many female tourists were also turned away, and many of them surrounded the entrance hall. call sexism
"We like Xiaoji too, why don't we let him in!"

"That's right, don't think we don't know what's going on inside!"

"Protest! Protest! I want to complain to the organizing center about your discrimination!"

"Sisters! They won't let us in, so let's block the door and see who else dares to come in!"

Their behavior made many men hesitate to go in and take a look. Even so, many otaku resisted the gazes of others and forced their way through the wall.

After entering, visitors have to hand over all electronic products before they can move on.

All in all, nerds must go through strict inspections to ensure that no one can secretly film and record before they can enter and participate in the internal exchange meeting. However, everyone who went in said that the program inside was really exciting after they came out.

In the internal exchange exhibition, Xiaoji can get in close contact with tourists. If you are brave enough, you can even go up and show how to use it correctly.

There were at least a few hundred tourists present, and there were quite a few bold and unrestrained otaku among them. When they volunteered to experience the use, fortunately they could choose to wear a half mask similar to Zorro, otherwise they would become the only ones in their lives. stain.

But there are also a few real warriors who choose not to wear a mask. They think that interacting with Xiaoji will be more emotional, and it will also prevent Xiaoji from seeing his expression and causing misunderstandings.

Anyone who is watching the use process will involuntarily set up a tent, and all raise their third little hand high to give crazy praises. Many nerds who are bewildered after watching the live demonstration also have the courage to sign up for the experience .

It's a pity that most of them were told that the number of applicants was full, and regretfully missed an opportunity to experience man-machine communication!
The exhibition time was limited on that day, so of course the number of applicants had to be limited. Even so, many people who signed up were a little slower than others, and as a result, they did not have their turn until the end of the exhibition.

After all, the number of Xiaoji on site is limited, and it is impossible for everyone to use the original goods.

Even if nerds can tolerate second-hand or N-handed Xiaoji, it takes more than ten minutes to replace important parts, clean and disinfect the outside of the machine, etc. every time they use Xiaoji.

So as many as hundreds of applicants, only a few dozen people can go on stage, and everyone else can only stand in the audience and watch other people's trial experience.

"It feels amazing!"

"There are so many movements, but there is no repetition!"

"The sound is also very realistic! It sounds exactly like a real person!"

"The key is the sense of touch. I heard from a buddy who has experienced it that it is more exciting than doing it with a real person, and every step is just right!"

Many nerds stared with fire in their eyes, clamped their legs tightly, and almost used all the strength in their bodies. Even after leaving the exhibition, the flames still could not be extinguished.

As a result, a strange phenomenon appeared at the comic exhibition that day. People kept coming in and out of a remote side door, and all the people who went out were red-faced and tightly covered their lower bodies, as if someone had hit their crotch hard. .

This situation has attracted the attention of many reporters, and they quickly learned from the people who visited the internal communication that it turned out that Meowstar Technology quietly displayed black technology products inside.

The reporters also quickly concluded that the appearance of this product would definitely solve the happiness problem of otaku.

Even journalists are not allowed to bring electronic products inside, no matter what they say, they can only go in empty-handed to see what's going on.

These reporters soon discovered that the internal communication inside was really exciting. There was even a foreign reporter who bought a queuing qualification from an otaku at a high price, and went on stage to experience it himself.

Even though he obtained the qualification through a special method, many nerds shouted at the scene that it was unfair. The smarter nerds quietly looked for those who had already signed up for the queue qualification, and wanted to learn from others and spend money to buy it.

As a result, many people jumped in the queue successfully, but there were also many homeboys who insisted not to buy it, making it very difficult to get a queue qualification, and in the end even if they had money, they couldn't buy it.

The exhibition was not over yet, and the news about Xiaoji immediately spread all over the Internet, which attracted the attention and discussion of many people. Even though there were pictures and videos of the exhibition, some people questioned the authenticity of the news.

"A computer doll that can communicate like a real person?"

"Can you also take the initiative to cooperate and make appropriate actions, and give real-life facial expression feedback?"

"Sounds like science fiction, could it be that decades have passed since I woke up?"

"It feels a little fake, isn't the one in this picture the same as Xiao Ji in the comics?"

At first, some people didn't believe it, but soon some people who had experienced it came forward to speak, which made the news credible!

When more and more evidence appeared on the Internet, everyone was sure that the news was true this time, and Xiaoji was really created.

"What? Meow Star Technology finally created a computer angel?"

"Can you still provide private services?"

"Someone has personally experienced it, and according to that guy, it feels so good!"

"Why is there no information about this product on their official website? I want to know the price, so I can ask my parents for money to buy one!"

"Little Ji, my cute little Ji!"

"From now on, I must work hard to save money for Xiaoji!"

Originally, Meowstar Technology Co., Ltd.'s participation in this animation exhibition was just a test of the waters. The scale of the exhibition was pitifully small, but it did not expect to attract so much attention, so it simply announced the price of Xiaoji.

"Xiaoji needs 99.8 RMB for a complete set!" Houzi asked the marketing department's humane at the meeting: "Will this price be a bit inflated?"

Of course, he didn't feel that his family was earning less, but he was worried that the price was too high and the otaku couldn't afford it. However, the people in the marketing department said that the price was just right. Judging from the pre-sale situation, the number of people ordering had exceeded their expected range. .

The main reason is that most of the otaku on the foot pot chicken side have ordered away. The shape of Xiaoji was also designed by the company there, and even some key parts of the parts are made by the island company, just to ensure that the users get the best quality. sense of experience.

Xiaoji's weight is much lighter than normal people. After all, there is nothing else in her body except the metal skeleton, and her height is only about 152cm. She is a petite and dexterous doll.

The number of pre-sales exceeded tens of thousands in a few days, and as time went by, as more and more nerds learned more about the situation, the number of orders on the official website increased faster and faster.

"The sales volume in the first month exceeded 30!" A person from the marketing department reported.

Many nerds are willing to pay any price to get this Xiaoji, who is not much different from the heroine of comics, and this kind of enthusiasm also makes the product almost unavailable and out of stock, mainly because the parts of special parts need to be customized , the production company in the island country did not have time to expand production.

As for the metal frame and silicone skin, there is no such problem. They are produced by the rabbit company. Not only is the larger the quantity, the lower the cost, and their quality has far exceeded the world-class level in all aspects.

Meowstar Technology has researched to find other suppliers, and even localized parts for special parts. However, time is tight and no substitute manufacturers can be found, so they have to use the products of the foot basin chicken family to deal with it first.

After the victory, Zhao Baibing and others did not wait to collect the bonus, but continued to study more advanced otaku companions. For them, Xiaoji who cannot walk is incomplete.

In order to solve the walking problem in the shortest possible time, they laid a floor in the laboratory, preparing to gather all the strength of the project team to break through the technical problems.

Before almost exhausting all their energy, Zhao Baibing and his project team finally achieved certain results, and finally got a relatively satisfactory plan.

"We let Xiaoji walk!" Zhao Baibing exclaimed in surprise.

The rubber doll standing in front of them has been able to repeat several basic movements such as standing up, sitting down and walking more flexibly, even if it is knocked down by someone, it can get up by itself.

"But it still looks a bit clumsy!" Someone judged.

The current Xiaoji 2.0 is about the same as a three or four-year-old child. Her movements are far less flexible than adults, but it can be considered to have solved most of the problems. She can walk independently indoors and outdoors, at least comparable to electronic pets. up.

It's a pity that such a little jerk has to face more and more unexpected situations.

Xiaoji's AI intelligence level is not high enough to deal with various emergencies in such a complex outdoor environment. Once some low-level mistakes occur, it will appear stupid, even if it is played in a cute way, it will not be able to get away with it.

This will expose Xiaoji's real situation. In terms of intelligence, she is not much different from other companies' robots, making her walking ability a self-degrading function.

"It seems that we have to continue to study AI intelligence!" Zhao Baibing thought to himself.

They are very clear that the assistant AI intelligent system developed by Li Maoye is quite complicated, and its intelligence level is very high, even if several people spend decades, they cannot surpass this level.

The best way is to find a way to transplant the AI ​​intelligent system of the little assistant.
