At the Xiaomi conference on August 10, Xiaomi unexpectedly released a smart bionic robot, and my old friends who followed me knew that I was very fascinated by intelligent robots, so the robot released by Xiaomi deeply attracted me.
Let's take a look at the functions of this robot called "Iron Egg" with @Iron Armor Xiaogang.
First of all, its name, iron egg, is very grounded, it is said that Xiaomi's R & D engineers in order to make this project successful before specially calling this more vulgar name is the same as the rural pipe son called the dog decades ago. Bad names are exactly what engineers love about this project.
First of all, we see that the iron egg is a four-legged release robot, commonly known as the robot dog, and the most important thing about the robot dog is the attitude control, Xiaomi's iron egg robot dog attitude control is the control platform used in 12 degrees of freedom, which can cope with the complex terrain.
The motor that controls the joint is a high-performance servo motor independently developed by Xiaomi, under the blessing of these high-performance motors, the iron egg robot dog can walk at 3.2m/s, which can fully meet the speed requirements of walking, which can really slip the robot dog, and can not be called the shoveling officer in the future.
Iron egg is equipped with many sensors, including geomagnetic sensing, gps positioning, ultrasonic sensing, light sensor, and most importantly, the lens combination kit, which can provide the greatest support for scene exploration, but the most humane is the touch sensor, which can meet the needs of people to pet dogs.
Equipped with a wide range of high-performance hardware modules
Pick up the robot dog
Here we want to talk about the dog's chip, which uses the nvidiajetsonxavier nx platform, which has built-in 384 cudacores, 48 tensorcores, 6 carmelarmcpu and two deep learning acceleration engines, which can process massive data from multiple sensors.
The camera is a model of an Intel depth camera
Because of the above hardware support, the software algorithm of the iron egg can be played, from the current material point of view, the iron egg has face recognition, intelligent tracking, intelligent obstacle avoidance, slam mapping and so on.
In terms of human-computer interaction, it can recognize people's voice commands and feedback according to the instructions, and can also become a helper for people, because it can control smart terminals, such as smart TV smart air conditioners, etc., equivalent to the smart housekeeper of the family.
First of all, these two robots have their own strengths, Boston Dynamics because of the long research and development time, so the attitude control will be slightly better, but the comparison of the iron egg has not yet been listed, this conclusion is only through the video data to get out, in addition, spot on the back of a manipulator, this iron egg is not. However, the iron egg does provide an interface for peripheral links, and I believe that it will be able to catch up in the future.
Iron egg than spot where the number of human-computer interaction aspects, in addition, the iron egg is an open source platform, we can be based on the open platform to customize twice, so that more and more functions will be realized, I believe that in the near future, Xiaomi's iron egg will also be like the mi released 10 years ago to subvert the bionic robot, so that the bionic robot into thousands of households. ‘
Finally, the Price of the Xiaomi Iron Egg Robot is 9999 yuan, and boston dynamics' spotini is priced at $75,000.
I have already booked one in the Xiaomi community, but whether I can win the bid in the end still needs to be screened by the Xiaomi community.
