What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

Qin Ze was actually a little embarrassed.

I also wanted to report to Professor Wang Zhanxi as soon as possible.

But unfortunately, the store is very busy right now.

Once I left, only Sister Li and Senior Sister Zhou were left, and they simply couldn't handle the workload.

Even though Sister Li and Senior Sister Zhou repeatedly urged him to go and report as soon as possible.

Qin Ze refused, citing the spirit of the contract.

After all, hourly workers are paid according to their work.

If he doesn't work long enough to receive his paycheck, Brother Tongzi will really starve to death.

……

Finally, it was eight o'clock.

After handing over his work, Qin Ze rushed to the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.

He figured Professor Wang should be off work by now, so he could only try his luck.

If they're not home, it's not too late to report tomorrow.

but.

When he arrived at the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, he was surprised to find that Professor Wang's office was the only one in the entire building that was brightly lit.

"I'm sorry, Professor Wang, I'm late."

Wang Zhanxi waved his hands repeatedly: "We're sorry! Qin, on behalf of your senior, I apologize to you."

At this moment.

Wang Zhanxi and Zhao Xianyu stood obediently in the office as they were beaten.

Although they didn't know who Qin Ze was.

But they knew very well that this was someone they couldn't afford to mess with.

Don't tell me Qin Ze was late.

Even if Qin Ze doesn't come, these two will have to wait until the end of time.

Seeing this, Qin Ze felt a little embarrassed and bowed repeatedly.

"My senior wasn't wrong, I was just a bit too hasty, so I apologize to you all."

"Please don't! We didn't take your application seriously; it was our mistake!"

"I was wrong!"

"No, it's not our problem!"

One to two to go.

The three bowed to each other in apology, making it look like a group wedding.

"Alright, Qin."

After confirming that he had gained Qin Ze's forgiveness, Wang Zhanxi asked kindly.

Are you familiar with our project?

Qin Ze answered honestly: "A little, but not much."

"Well, let me introduce you."

Wang Zhanxi led Qin Ze to the depths of the office.

There was a whiteboard there that he had prepared long ago.

"Our project is a horizontal R&D project commissioned by a company."

"It has a strong sense of purpose."

"The commissioning company put forward three clear requirements."

"First and foremost, it must have strong battery life."

"This is of utmost importance."

After all, it's a practical product geared towards commercial use.

A company's considerations are all based on reality.

Specifically, for industrial-grade robotic vacuum cleaners, battery life is the key factor.

After all, the product needs to be used intensively; it's definitely not feasible to make a five-minute call and then charge it for two hours.

"Secondly, it's adaptability."

"Adaptability means being able to fit into most usage scenarios."

"Although most industrial robots operate indoors, they also experience outdoor unpaved surfaces and other challenging conditions."

Most robots today are still used in ideal environments.

Just like those little figures on the Spring Festival Gala, it's a completely flat floor.

But industrial robots are different.

Who knows what kind of road conditions we might encounter?

Adaptability is also a key difference between robots and machines.

The machine can only adapt to one or two types of road conditions.

However, the robot can automatically identify road conditions and adjust its movement mode based on sensor data, adapting to most road conditions.

"Thirdly, it's multifunctional."

"The company wants this robot to be a multimodal robot that integrates mopping, sweeping, and vacuuming."

"It's also best to have the ability to handle special situations."

A home robot can sweep and mop all at once and that's it.

At most, apply a fragrance liquid over it again.

But industrial-grade dust is different; it's measured in tons.

It's also hard to guarantee that there won't be heavy stains such as oil or chemical residue on the ground.

Therefore, a robot's cleaning functions cannot be limited to only one or two types; it must be versatile and specialized.

"These are the three requirements put forward by the company."

"These three requirements must definitely be included as the research and development outline for our project."

"What are your thoughts on this, Qin?"

Zhao Xianyu, who was standing to the side, pouted as she listened, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

tutor.

You've never spoken to us in such a kind tone.

When the project started, the supervisor simply gave orders without asking the graduate students for their opinions.

But Qin Ze acted as if he were an honored guest.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

This is the person who directly promoted the mentorship program, so it's understandable that he was initially arrogant but later became obsequious.

What do I think?

Qin Ze was somewhat embarrassed.

"Can I sit down and watch? I've been standing all day."

Wang Zhanxi chuckled: "Of course, please have a seat."

The three of them each found a chair and sat down.

Qin Ze then spoke up: "Professor Wang, what specific stage is the project at now?"

"The project has just been approved."

Wang Zhanxi explained patiently.

"We are still discussing the technology roadmap internally."

"I have two research groups under my supervision, each led by one of your senior classmates."

"My idea is that at this stage, everyone should have no restrictions and speak freely, sharing their ideas."

"Then we will summarize and discuss the changes, and modify and integrate the technical roadmap."

Although Wang Zhanxi was somewhat arrogant at first but obsequious later.

But his academic level is still quite good.

As the main person in charge of the project team.

He did not rely on his authority to run the show, but instead fully utilized democracy.

Have the project team members work in groups to practice and discuss.

If anyone has a good idea, they should bring it up. Once it has been verified, it can be used.

"I firmly believe that many hands make light work."

"So I think for this project, everyone should first work in independent groups to come up with concepts and prototypes."

"Then we'll do a final review, retain the best ideas, integrate them, and then build a prototype."

"If you do this three or five times, I estimate the effect will be very good."

Qin Ze nodded, seemingly puzzled but also impressed: "So, what exactly can I do?"

You can join any group you want.

Wang Zhanxi waved his hand.

"You can make a separate version if you want."

"You were recommended by the principal, so you must be capable."

Did you participate in the WRC when you were in high school?

Qin Ze was stunned: "What's WRC? Is it for boxing?"

That's called WBO.

Qin Ze: "What's that? A motorcycle?"

"Motorcycles are called WSBK. The WRC I'm talking about is the Youth Robotics Design and Information Literacy Competition."

Wang Zhanxi was speechless.

The so-called WRC is a global competition organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Chinese Institute of Electronics.

There is a high school group, which is selected annually through provincial selections to advance to the national competition.

This competition is an internationally recognized robot design competition with a high overall rating.

Wang Zhanxi pondered how the principal had painstakingly managed to get Qin Ze into the project team.

Qin Ze must be somewhat skilled, right?

If a freshman has a background in robotics design, then he should have at least participated in the WRC during high school, right?

But after hearing the explanation, Qin Ze was completely confused: "I have never participated in this competition."

Wang Zhanxi frowned, then asked, "What about the National Youth Science and Technology Education Achievements Exhibition Competition?"

Qin Ze: "No, not either."

Wang Zhanxi pouted: "What about the city-level robotics competition? The kind organized by the Children's Palace?"

"No, not at all." Qin Ze shook his head helplessly.

This was the first time he had ever heard of robot competitions, and that high school students could participate.

This was the first time he had ever heard of a place like a youth palace being a real entity.

He used to think that this was just a beautiful imagination from textbooks.

"Hmm... So, what's your level in robotics?"

Qin Ze raised his head and said honestly, "Without considering external help, I'd say I have zero experience."

Wang Zhanxi: "..."

Zhao Xianyu: "..."
