Soul Torture: In 2022, dogs will ski, what about you?
Recently, Shanghai Jiaotong University independently developed a six-legged ski robot on the Shenyang snow field, completing the primary road, intermediate road and co-skiing experiment.
Judging from the performance on the video, the ski robot can turn autonomously, turn left and right.
Leifeng network learned that the robot is not only strong, not small - it is under the call of the "Science and Technology Winter Olympics", led by Professor Gao Gao of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the foot robot research team composed of the School of Mechanical and Power Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering has been developed, and has now received the key special support of the National Key Research and Development Plan of the Ministry of Science and Technology "Science and Technology Winter Olympics".
Anyone who has skiing experience knows that the hardest part of skiing is the sense of balance, and if there is a poor pool, the ass suffers (don't ask me how to know). But for the six-legged ski robot, there is no such problem at all.
On the 400-meter-long intermediate pistes with a gradient of 18 degrees, the ski robot is capable of gliding at speeds greater than 10m/s.
Not only that, but the robot can also plan its own optimal route, avoid crowds, and can make sharp turns when encountering obstacles to avoid collisions.
Leifeng Network learned that the reason why the robot is so free to move is not unrelated to its design.
From the outside, the ski robot is a six-legged robot that uses skiing. The four legs in the middle are divided into two groups, each two legs are fixed to a ski, which is used to control the position and posture of the ski, and the two legs on both sides are equipped with ski poles to imitate people and realize the function of the cane.
At the same time, each ski has five degrees of freedom, and by controlling the posture of the ski, the speed control, turning and braking of the ski can be realized.
In this regard, some netizens joked, "Robots have six feet to slide good snow, and it is normal for my two feet to slip badly."
In addition to the appearance level, in order to adapt to the complex environment of snow, which is crowded and easy to slip, the robot is also equipped with intelligent perception, brake control and other technologies, and supports wireless remote human-computer interaction control, so as to complete the experimental subjects such as racing, turning, planning routes, avoiding obstacles and human-robot interaction.
Some netizens raised questions, "The Winter Olympics will start next month, will the qualifications be obtained?" ”。
Although the six-legged robot can ride freely on the snow field, its role is not to compete with people, but to play its scientific and technological advantages, carry out patrols and rescue in alpine and ice and snow environments, help people avoid risks, and create a comfortable and safe ice and snow experience environment.
In fact, in this Winter Olympics, in addition to ski robots, there are many hard-core technologies that have become beautiful landscapes on the Winter Olympics, including but not limited to disinfection robots, cooking robots, food delivery robots, logistics service robots, etc.
As we all know, epidemic prevention and control is the top priority of the security work of the venues of this Winter Olympics. In the Winter Olympics venues are full of AI disinfection robots, supporting automatic obstacle avoidance, self-charging, and more importantly, the robot can also visualize, data- and traceable the disinfection of venues through the intelligent disinfection system built by AI big data.
In addition, in terms of body temperature measurement, the Winter Olympics adopted a "temperature measurement sticker" that can be monitored in real time for 24 hours, which resembles a Band-Aid, with a chip, which can be conveniently attached to the wrist or under the armpit and transmit temperature information through Bluetooth.
In addition to the chip temperature monitor, the National Stadium has also introduced an aerosol virus detection device, which can reduce the virus monitoring time from 6-8 hours to 40 minutes.
In terms of medical security, the Winter Olympics organization has also taken pains, and the three competition areas cover the remote surgical operating system of intelligent medical devices such as intelligent medical robots and manipulators, providing the possibility for innovating a new model of emergency medical support.
In addition, there are smart restaurants set up at the venue, there are "robot chefs" who can make dumplings, "robot chefs" who can make hamburgers, robots that provide food delivery services, and more unexpectedly, there are bartending robot arms.
Sixteen days before the official holding of the Winter Olympics, from the early stage of the layout of the venue, the Winter Olympics can be seen everywhere in the domestic hard-core technology products.
This is an excellent opportunity for China's scientific and technological strength to appear, but also a testing ground for various hard-core scientific and technological products, and it is not easy to adapt to the complex environment to show their skills in the international Games.
So, the question is, what else do you know about hardcore technology at the Winter Olympics?
