Your child may be robot born in the next few years

I. Foreign: Breakthrough in Humanoid Robotics at Oxford University

Recently, a British robot has brightened the eyes of everyone eating melons. According to foreign media reports, the relevant research team at Oxford University is cultivating robots with human tissues and organs. They claimed that in the past decade, research on humanoid robots has been achieved. It is an "exciting" progress, and it is predicted that this kind of robot will soon be used in medical research. A robot with a "flesh and flesh" can be used to cultivate human tissue for use by wounded and elderly people.

In addition, the team members who worked on the research said that the significance of this research will not only be to create robots that resemble humans. More importantly, it will allow robots to have more human or natural biological capabilities, such as gestation. The next generation. Yes, you are not mistaken, robots that can have children are coming! ! !

Researchers use the Eccerobot robot with “human” bones, tendons, and skin as an example to explain how robots will be used to cultivate true human tissue.

They pointed out: "Over the past decade, research on humanoid robots has made exciting progress. It's worth mentioning that humanoid robots with musculoskeletalism, such as Kenshiro and Eccerobot, can work in a safer and more natural way. Human interaction. Scientists hope to replicate human musculoskeletal systems such as muscles, tendons and bones on robots. We think these robots can be used to cultivate musculoskeletal tissue for tissue transplant surgery."

Researchers said that robots modeled after humans are more suitable for fostering human tissue than ordinary laboratory environments. “Musculoskeletal robots have artificial muscles that can more accurately simulate the key freedom of movement and force of the human body.” The researchers wrote in the paper. They also added that such robots can be equipped with a special "bioreactor system" to provide an environment suitable for the growth of human tissues. "The bioreactor system can provide the environment needed for living cells and tissues to survive in vitro, but it is necessary to create For truly effective human tissue grafts, we need to study more advanced bioreactors.”

If this continues, if all human organizations can do this, then it will not be far behind.

Second, domestic: Ali NASA plan or birth of humanoid robot research and development boom

Domestic humanoid robots have not been idle. After Baidu established an artificial intelligence system, Ali also proposed the NASA plan. For example, Alibaba’s rookie network has quietly developed a large number of high-tech products in the logistics industry. Many places can be said to represent the highest level of global logistics, and even television stations could not help but report successively.

Of course, Ali is now focused on industrial robots, but these more and more intelligent black technologies are bound to spawn humanoid robots - after all, everyone likes new, better and more interesting things and experiences. This is always the true meaning of the technology industry.

Moreover, humanoid robots in China are not without foundations. Tsinghua University, Beijing University of Science and Technology and other famous universities of science and technology have similar humanoid robot projects. Once these humanoid robot projects have been cultivated by Ali NASA or other companies, presumably our humanoid robots will also be able to reach the peak, and robots with human physiological functions will be produced in the future.

How long does it take to pair robots and people from robot pairing?

In fact, a robot robot pairing robot experiment at the Free University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands in 2016 has achieved certain success.

It can be seen that the small robots become blue-green, and the reasoning is not complicated. These robots carry DNA. These DNAs contain information related to robot hardware design and software logic control, similar to human DNA genetic information. Then, under the guidance of the WiFi network, the new genome is formed by binding each other's DNA. Finally, the new genome code is sent to the 3D printer, and then printed into new robot parts for assembly. And this process allows the evolution of robots. After several generations of succession, more advanced and intelligent robots can be produced.

But the problem is that robots can be solved with 3D printing, and people and robots can't. Because people are completely organic, robots must also be mostly organic. According to the current progress, it is expected that it will take a decade or more before the robot can be highly organized.

In other words, there will be more than 100 million single men appearing in China in the future (in fact, no more than 20% or more than 30 million will be found in the wife. After all, the woman is out of whim as a false proposition. The remaining man is out of the economy. ), You can wait for another 10 years or longer. Once the robots can actually appear and be mass-produced, theoretically, the problem of procreation of these men can be solved.

Fourth, review the development stage of humanoid robot - where is the limit

According to the retrospective analysis of the humanoid robot based on the data at hand, it is considered that the humanoid robot may go through five stages: simple motion, complex motion, intelligent thinking, simulation appearance, and reengineering physiology. Of course, unlike other industries, it is subject to different countries. The level of technology, as well as some new technologies, can be renewed and extended over the previous period. Therefore, the following stages of sequencing are not completely separated, and sometimes even several stages are combined.

1. Simple Action (from 1968 to 2006)

In 1968, GM's RSmo-sher piloted a manipulative bipedal walking robot named Rig. In 2003, Sony Corporation launched the first bipedal entertainment robot SDR-4XII. Sony's definition of running refers to the fact that the robot is in a non-contact state with its feet off the ground when the robot is walking. It is not necessarily a certain foot. Fast walking on the ground (similar to walking walking). In 2006, the ASIMO robot released by Honda Motor Co., Ltd., in addition to the walking function and various human body movements, can also set actions in advance, and can also perform actions based on human voice, gestures and other instructions. At this point, most of the basic human movements, such as walking, turning, running and lifting, have been completed.

2. Complex actions (from 2002 to today)

The Japan Industrial Technology Research Institute (METI) began implementing humanoid robot projects in 1998. In 2002, the HRP series robots were developed. The HRP-3 robot has a dustproof and waterproof structure and can work even in heavy rain of 100mm/h, and can also travel at a speed of 1.5km/h on a road surface with a friction factor of 0.1 and equivalent to an ice-skating surface. This means that humanoid robots can have a sense of balance.

In June 2004, Harbin Institute of Technology in China developed a bipedal soccer robot with a foot kick. The robot is 0.5m high and has 17 degrees of freedom. The maximum walking speed is 0.05km/h. Each leg has 6 degrees of freedom (3 hips, 1 knee, and 2 ankles) without cables. Not only It can be simple and it can also climb stairs and avoid obstacles like people.

In December 2004, the Korean Academy of Science and Technology announced the successful development of a new type of intelligent robot KHR-3, namely HUBO, which is the latest humanoid robot developed by the institute. The HUBO robot is 1.25m high and weighs 55kg. The walking speed is 0 to 1.25km/h and the one-hand grip is 0.5kg. The robot can grasp and catch things.

3. Intelligent thinking (from 2006 to today)

In 2006, Honda released the ASIMO robot with basic memory and identification capabilities. Since then, scientists have begun to develop intelligent robots. Of course, intelligent thinking is also divided into two directions. The first is a light-weighted, slightly intelligent robot, such as a programmable robot that has appeared in many companies recently; and the other is a highly-smart robot that wants to imitate human thinking in all directions. Alpha dog, Master and so on.

4. Simulation appearance (from 2008 to 2015)

With the maturing of related technologies, it is no doubt that robots have become the “main labor force”. But to make robots and humans more "close", in addition to high-energy thinking, with a more true and false identification, I am afraid that many single young men dream about. While some subcultures have taken the lead in the world, Japan is the first to introduce such a robot. The famous Japanese robot company Kokoro produces a user-defined robot. The simulation robot can determine the body shape, face shape, eyeball size, appearance and other characteristics according to the needs of the user regardless of sex. This kind of simulation robot is made of silicone and the robot's upper body is free to move. Of course, many countries around the world also have their own appearance simulation robot. However, this stage is over.

5. Rebuilding Physiology (From 2014 to Today)

In early 2014, Google's DeepMind department hired seven professors and other researchers from Oxford University to jointly develop humanoid robots. The Amsterdam Free University of the Netherlands also conducted similar research in 2015. As mentioned above, the two teams achieved the robot with human tissue and robot pairing and fertility respectively. Then the next development requirement is very obvious. It is to see who can make the robot highly organic until it can be paired with humans.

Here, the gold medal consultant thinks that the development of science and technology is a good thing, but ethical, moral, legal and other issues can not be avoided, after all, everything has to have a limit. However, after careful consideration and resolution of these issues, the welfare of male single dogs still needs to be satisfied. After all, can they help solve the problem of serious gender imbalance?
