After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 44 Preliminary Planning of Children's Cognitive Assistive Robots
Gao Chenyu said: "Our Qiancheng Group started in Linzhou and grew up in Dongshan, so we still have some influence in these two places.

"When I got back, I suggested to my father that we should devote all our efforts to building a green fruit and vegetable and high-quality food product base. We can cooperate with the local government to build this together.

"In fact, we have been doing this kind of thing in Dongshan for a long time, but we encountered some problems. As I said just now, the problem of how to get consumers to accept it has not been solved, so the scale has not been expanded."

Gao Chenyu seemed full of confidence: "Now with your help, I will surely soar to the sky!"

"Won't there be any problem?" How come something that was originally so difficult became so simple for Gao Chenyu?
Although different things will lead to different results when considered from different angles, the gap is too big, almost completely opposite.

"There are definitely problems," Gao Chenyu said, "The supermarket you reported a few days ago must be mad at you. But a supermarket of that standard can't possibly become a big deal, it's just a small one.

"Anyone with a bit of vision can see that this is an opportunity to get rid of the downward rollback. When you can make more money by moving upward and reducing the rollback, then there will be no problem."

"Thank you for your good words!" Hao Cheng felt much better. In fact, Gao Chenyu's ideas were essentially no different from Li Qingbo's, except that there were more details and action. Hao Cheng would rather let him give it a try.

……

"What about the robot?" After talking about the supermarket, Gao Chenyu still hadn't forgotten the child companion robot he had been thinking about.

"I'll send you something first," Hao Cheng sent Gao Chenyu the industrial design drawing that his daughter had drawn yesterday after it had been professionally enhanced:

"Look at this. What process can be used to produce it? What materials and parts are needed? List them all first and see which suppliers are needed."

At this time, Hao Cheng has been thinking a lot about how to make this large model robot for children's cognitive assistance, and he has already had some ideas.

First of all, the most crucial point: the capabilities of all versions are exactly the same, which is Xiaosha’s enhanced version of children’s education professional capabilities.

The rest is appearance.

First is the standard regular appearance, which is the common sales and popular model.

Then there are the high-end design models, which look very high-end at first glance and make people feel bright. They are specially made high-end models.

In addition, inspired by his daughter Zhenzhen, Hao Cheng decided to make customized models.

You can let your child draw the shape he likes, and then use Xiaosha, whose industrial design professional ability has been enhanced, to carry out rational industrial design transformation to form a unique robot that belongs to your child.

Moreover, although Xiaosha's ability is only at the intermediate level, when combined with the child's own creativity, a sense of sophistication also flourishes.

Just look at the two men in the reception room who can’t take their eyes away, and you’ll know how tempting this thing is.

For a thing like this, and using relatively advanced aerospace-grade materials, it wouldn't be too much to charge him 30,000 or 50,000 for a custom one, right? If he added sapphire and gold models, it shouldn't be a problem to charge him 100,000.

If it really doesn't work, for special designs that cannot be mass-produced industrially, they have to be made purely by hand or by a combination of machine and hand, and the price will be unlimited. For such products, the official also issues a certificate with a unique number.

Moreover, don't think it's too expensive. It's your child's handmade work. Looking at it every day can improve the child's self-confidence and sense of mission. Not to mention this, the commemorative significance alone is worth the price! Listening to Hao Cheng's introduction, Gao Chenyu and He Gang were stunned, thinking: When did you know so many tricks? Did you go to Penguin overnight to learn from him?
"They're all the same inside, but you can come up with so many tricks just based on the appearance?" He Gang joked.

"You're right," Hao Cheng smiled. "I got the inspiration from your extraordinary master's design. What should I name this advanced design? How about Extraordinary Master?"

Before He Gang could respond, Hao Cheng stopped talking: "Let's not joke about it. The picture I just posted is a custom model. The standard model is easy to make, but is this custom model difficult to manufacture?"

"If it had been put in a few years ago, it would have been hard to say. At least it would have been very troublesome, and some parts might have needed to be made by hand." Gao Chenyu said:

"But now, 3D printing is becoming more and more mature, and one-piece die-casting can also produce parts of various shapes by inputting parameters. I will go back and ask a professional engineer to evaluate it. There shouldn't be any big problems."

"Well, some gesture sensing sensors are used here to identify user movements and behaviors, just like the gesture motion sensor on the front of Huawei phones, but we need to install four of them in the front, back, left and right to facilitate all-round recognition of user movements and behaviors."

Hao Cheng continued, "If it's convenient for Mr. He, you can introduce us to the specific suppliers later."

"It's not inconvenient. There are many solutions in the industry, but there are not many that can be integrated into a mobile phone in such a small size. This is also developed by us and our partners, and also sold to the outside world."

This is also Huawei's old tradition. Generally, the results of research and development with suppliers can be sold to friendly companies after half a year or a year. Not to mention that Hao Cheng is a strategic partner, so there will certainly be no problem.

In fact, He Gang doesn't have to make the decision. He is just acting as a connective tissue between Gao Chenyu and the suppliers. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with that.

Moreover, he was interested in the all-round motion and behavior recognition that Hao Cheng mentioned. Although he had not seen the actual effect yet, according to Yu Dong, what Hao Cheng came up with could not be of low level.

It is definitely much better than our current intelligent recognition of a few specific gestures.

"Does the gesture recognition algorithm already exist?" He Gang asked.

"Not yet," Hao Cheng shook his head: "But I think we should at least do this -"

Hao Cheng began the non-physical performance, pretending to point his finger at the screen of his mobile phone, and then said: "I am pointing at a file in my mobile phone. It is now floating. Who of you wants it?"

"Mr. He!" Hao Cheng flicked his finger and pointed at Mr. He's phone: "If you used my gesture recognition, the file would have been transferred to your phone now."

“Can it be so precise?”

Huawei has been working on the motion recognition algorithm for many years. Now, when using it, such as the air grab on the Mate70 series, including the original air screenshot, and some current fun theme shooting, the movements need to be very deliberate.

Like Hao Cheng, he can pinch and throw it casually, just like throwing a book or a card, and it will pass by with a whoosh. This is Huawei's ultimate goal, but it cannot be achieved in a short time.

"This is the goal, but we haven't started training yet." Hao Cheng made a promise, but only he knew that it was just the basics.

However, he added: "The specific effect will not be known until the training is completed."
