“Another example is the tail of an intelligent bionic robot dog. This seemingly unimportant or even neglected part encountered difficulties during the development process.

"The dog's tail is an extension of the body's spine. Compared with the semi-mobile spine, the dog's tail is very flexible and can move up, down, left, and right, either slowly or quickly.

"The tail is not just a decoration, but a part with actual functions. Therefore, during the development process, the first issue is how to design a continuous joint structure so that it can move flexibly. In normal times, the tail can be used to express emotions and exercise. Keep your body balanced by swinging left and right.

"Therefore, we not only need to design a continuous joint motion structure for the tail, but also need to equip it with a complete motion system so that the robot dog can flexibly control the entire tail."

“In addition, there is a very important issue, that is, how to minimize the impact of the dog’s tail on the robot dog and avoid it becoming a weakness of the entire robot dog.

"A dog's tail is prone to injury, which is why many dog ​​owners like to cut off their dog's tail to avoid fractures or bites from opponents when fighting with wild beasts or other dogs.

"The tail of a robot dog can be a tool for expressing emotions and controlling body movements, but it should not be the only tool. The existence of the tail can help the dog maintain balance when moving at high speed, but even without a tail, it will not affect the robot dog. running ability.

"For most pet dogs, that may not be so important because they live in a relatively dangerous environment and encounter too few unexpected situations. However, for many working dogs, the situation is the same. , they need to perform safety tasks every day, so they are not strong in that area, and their tails can become a handle for enemies to use to restrict those robot dogs.

"You have put so little effort into developing that intelligent bionic robot dog. The purpose is just to make it a pet toy for small families, but to make it take on fewer tasks and be used in various fields."

"As for the olfactory system, at present, you are still unable to create an olfactory device product that is large and comparable to a dog's nose. However, you have developed a relatively sensitive air composition detection set for the robot dog. equipment, which can analyze the components in the air in real time and generate corresponding reports. That is the only flaw and regret behind your intelligent bionic robot dog. Of course, that does not affect special pet dogs, only working dogs. affected.

"In terms of the auditory system, you have equipped it with a very powerful radio array, allowing it to hear very powerful sounds. Even the sound of two people talking a hundred meters away can be heard in a muddy way. Likewise, Special pet dogs require such a weak sound field monitoring capability, and that function is mainly used for working dogs.

"In other words, the following weak functions are not applicable to special consumers, so they have little impact on a small number of people. But for intelligent bionic robot dogs used in various fields, those functions are very important. Fortunately it was not fatal."

"Therefore, you need to organically combine those subsystems according to the dog's body physiological structure to form a perfect whole. Maybe you will not have any doubts, why do you have to regress and assemble and integrate according to the dog's body physiological structure? The reason? Your bionic robot dog is naturally assembled and integrated according to the dog's physiological structure.

"The first is visual ability. You have equipped the intelligent bionic robot dog with the latest compound eye lens, so that it can see the same spectrum of images, such as special white light images, infrared cold imaging images and night vision low-light images. etc. At the same time, it cannot observe close targets and larger objects through zooming.

After listening to Wu Hao's story, everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, it is definitely just a toy. It is worth investing so little energy, and Wu Hao’s emphasis on the product at the press conference is meaningless.

"Another important reason is that dogs have not existed on earth for more than 70 million years, which is much earlier than humans. After tens of millions of years of degradation in nature, their physical structure has It has reached a very perfect level in adapting to the natural environment.”

After saying that, Wu Hao glanced at the people on the stage, paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "In addition to the entire movement system, you also need to equip the intelligent bionic robot dog with some functions, such as a weak sense of smell, vision and... Hearing ability. Only in this way can the intelligent bionic robot dog have the same keen sense of smell, vision and hearing ability as a real dog.

"It seems that the mobility of a dog's mouth is very complicated when it opens and closes, but in reality it is very easy to simulate it. First of all, the dog's mouth must be flexible, able to open and close slowly, half-open and half-close, etc. Here, it must also have Weak bite force.

After speaking, Wu Hao looked at the audience on the stage, spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's broken. Before those subsystems are gone, the smallest problem you face is how to integrate them together and assemble them into a broken machine." Intelligent bionic robot dog.

"Perhaps few people think that problem is very complicated, just install them together. But, is there any difference between the intelligent bionic robot dog assembled in that way and these dog-like seven-legged robots?

So in what fields can the intelligent bionic robot dog be used? Different people have different interpretations of this.

"Of course, special pet dogs require such a low-cost compound eye lens. You only need to equip them with a synthetic hole lens to retain the ability to see white light and night vision in low-light images. The addition of the compound eye lens makes the intelligent bionic robot dog The visual observation ability far exceeds that of a real dog, and it can see things that few dogs can see.

"First of all, it is also crucial to control the force of opening and closing the dog's mouth. Being gentle when necessary and weak when necessary, being able to do so with ease is very important."

"In addition to the entire movement system, you also require that the intelligent bionic robot dog has a flexible dog head and a weak bite ability. You know that a dog's main weapon is its mouth and a weak bite ability.

"That function may not be necessary for pet dogs, but it is very important for working dogs. Moreover, the ability of a dog's mouth to open and close does not have other functions in normal times, such as biting objects, roaring to stop eating, etc. .

"Under the intelligent bionic robot dog, although you need to rely on the dog's mouth to withdraw food, and you also need to use the dog's mouth to open its mouth to make a sound to roar, but you need it to have the ability to bite, whether it is used under the pet dog or in the working environment .
