There are a lot of news about robots, but few are reliable.
For example, the robots used in the robot restaurant to deliver food are not so much a robot as a tram. There are also very common noodles robots everywhere, that is, there is a look, it can only be regarded as a machine, far from the "people".
Pepper robot
Maybe someone wants to think of Transformers or Gundam, but in reality there are actually. In the past two years, the giant robots produced in the United States challenged Japanese robots and were hailed as the battle between Transformers and Gundam. But the news is still hot, and the fact that these two seemingly mighty robots, the US is playing with paintballs, and the Japanese is playing with BB bombs, are all nonsense.
The reality is so cruel, then, about robots, actually we think too much? In our imagination, robots have two preconditions to satisfy: one, possessing artificial intelligence, and thus the possibility of transforming from a machine to a human; and second, having a body similar to human beings, so that this transformation does not appear too abrupt.
Obviously, in terms of current technical conditions, it is really difficult to achieve these two requirements at the same time, but until now, there are still reliable attempts, such as Japan's Softbank robot Pepper.
This robot is not new. Since June 2015, Pepper has sold a limited number of 1,000 units a month, each time it is sold out within 1 minute. Selling is fast because the price is not high, about RMB more than 10,000. Of course, if you buy a robot, you have to buy a matching service fee and pay monthly. This is the big picture.
Ma Yun is also very interested in this robot. It is also Alibaba and Foxconn's respective investment of 14.5 billion yen (about 732 million yuan at that time) that this humanoid robot has entered our field of vision.
What kind of robot is this? At first glance, it may be a bit disappointing - 1 meter tall, no legs, below the waist is a pillar, driven by 3 wheels. The head and the hand are still there, but more like a display. What really works is the tablet on the chest. Looks like this, it seems to be a large iPad stand.
But it's not that simple. Unlike the cold Siri, Pepper still has a personality charm. You will find that communicating with this robot will have a strange feeling that you will feel that the other person is a real person. How is this done? At the moment of seeing humans, the various sensors in the robot began to move, began to analyze the meaning of each other's various actions, and began to interact with people. Speaking of mystery, it's not hard to do. When you talk to you, Pepper's big pupil will always look at your face, and it looks pretty cute. Your eyes will meet with you and your conversation will continue.
The communication of eyes during chatting is actually very important. Why is the mature video conference not widely used now? The reason is that in video chat, people can’t make eye contact, because the participants are not real people, but the screen, they don’t know Where to look.
In addition to eye feedback, Pepper also has a feedback system that stands for “listeningâ€. When listening to people, the LED below the robot's ear will always flash, and a "yes" or "as it is" will be inserted at the appropriate time to encourage the other party to continue.
With these feedbacks, there is a human feeling. So Sun Zhengyi, the founder of Softbank, has always placed his dream of robots on Pepper. In his dreams, all families should have such a robot, especially for families with children. Pepper can accompany his children like a Doraemon.
Of course, there is still a little bit of such a future. After all, the current artificial intelligence is far from true intelligence. The robot itself, who wants to play with the children, or make a bed for the children, can't do it now.
But the significance of this robot is that it can still do some simple work. For example, in a sushi restaurant in Japan, Pepper has been responsible for entertaining guests and leading the way. In a mall near San Francisco, USA, they also began to serve as guides. At the Auckland International Airport Pyramid Bar, they are not only the receptionist and promoter of the bar, but also the job of the sales clerk to help the bar sell beer. At the bar, it's a vending machine, but it's cute and fun. The shape is cute, and you can communicate with people, be able to chat, and shake hands with people.
Given the evolution of Pepper, we have reason to believe that future robots will not be just toys or tools.
