On the evening of October 7, Huawei's "genius teenager" Zhi Huijun released a video "I built an Iron Man's mechanical arm" on the B station, which can sew needles for the broken grapes, which have not been damaged by the mechanical arm at all, and have been played more than 2 million times in less than 48 hours.

The robot arm was transformed from a second-hand device called "Dummy", which took four months to complete, and the operating system and AI computing platform used Huawei Hongmeng and Ascend Atlas processors, and the cost was controlled at 10,000 yuan.
Netizens said that after reading and understanding that "ten ordinary engineers are not as good as a genius engineer", "insiders have seen it and feel that they are not worthy of being insiders".
"This project is not about doing something that disrupts the industry. If I can arouse the interest of some students and let them invest in learning and innovating in related fields, it should be the happiest thing for me. ZhiHuijun said on October 9 that he did not have much free time outside of the holiday, so he tried to take the realization process of each project as a learning process. He said that he was neither a genius nor a teenager, but a geek who loved to toss.
He was once "popular" for self-driving bicycles, and was once named by Ren Zhengfei
Zhihuijun, formerly known as Peng Zhihui, graduated from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2018 and was selected into the "Huawei Genius Junior Program" to engage in research related to AI chip architecture and algorithms.
In August this year, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei said in a speech entitled "Jiangshan Generation has talented people": "For the 2012 laboratory, the company has never given you too many constraints. For example, someone studies the self-driving of bicycles, and the company has not restrained him. Are we going to produce bikes? Nothing. This is a 'scalpel' he has mastered, and it may play a role in the future and produce some huge commercial value. ”
In June this year, his work self-driving bicycle once swept the screen. This self-driving bicycle will not only go straight, turn, avoid obstacles, and hit the road, but also equipped with lidar that Tesla does not have, and the final hardware cost is less than 10,000 yuan.
With super hands-on ability and technical strength, ZhiHuijun, who calls himself "Wild Iron Man", has shown a series of amazing brain hole creations on the Internet: a mini Linux computer with a coin appearance, a "Crab Transformed into a Mars Rover", a charging treasure that can be used as a monitor, an NFC business card with an ink screen, a smart home AR interaction system, a bipedal robot...
The robotic arm project is not related to the company, using Huawei Hongmeng and Ascend Atlas processors
In the newly released robot arm video, in order to be able to synchronize the robot arm and his own hand to make various actions, he also gathered the binocular camera, AHRS system, Huawei Ascend AI computing power platform together, designed a remote control method that can "synchronize reality", and even used the Hongmeng system based on the LiteOS kernel in the main controller, all of which is to make the robot arm move freely and be easy to operate.
He said in the video: "This project looks electronic and mechanical on the surface, but it is actually full of algorithms and mathematics."
After the release of the video, a large number of netizens liked it in the bullet screen, many professionals praised his project planning ability and hands-on ability, and some netizens proposed that some netizens exaggerated the height of his work, and even suspected of killing, such as the grape skin suture part of the fast release to give people a smooth operation feeling, and the delay delay of remote control operation is also very large.
"This project is not as magical as many students blow, it is really just an amateur small project, and the label is also DIY." On October 9, Zhihuijun said on Weibo, Zhihu and other platforms that it did take a lot of effort to do this project, I believe you can see it, but it is far from being comparable to Leonardo da Vinci, but it imitates its use scenarios, and Da Vinci's high precision, multi-degree of freedom, low-latency communication, etc. These aspects are not within the reach of a DIY project.
He said that many of the components in the system are technical projects accumulated in the past, including motor drives, IMU-based motion capture gloves, binocular vision-based table tennis robots, AR-based APP, etc., so it did not take only four months to build the project from scratch. "This is the small work of a birthday present that I prepared for myself without a day off (and even a few nights of nighting), and I didn't think about what great innovation to disrupt the industry."
Zhi Huijun said: "This project has nothing to do with my company. In fact, before I released this video on October 7, no one in the company knew that I had done such a project, and then after the fire yesterday, the leader was very happy to see it and asked me if I needed to reimburse the production cost. ”
Netizens said, "Huawei can (propose) reimbursement instructions really value talents!" "Huawei can achieve such a pattern, and it is more and more convinced that one day it can break through the current predicament."
