Fudan University research and development LED Haibao: can sing said the mind will develop"

Fudan University independent research and development of Haibao robot debut in World Expo, the leading international technology

Technology scanning

Led "Haibao" three modes

Common mode - can speak and do action;

Advanced mode - can be changed, photographed and interactive;

VIP mode - object recognition.

LED is the World Expo Shanghai and robot technology highlights, both in the city best practice area of Shanghai case Hall integrated robots -- appearance on "the ecohome" produced by LED can change, singing, dialogue at any time; the international leading "autonomous mental development" let it go beyond the other robot -- as the venue ushers, "Haibao" will be in 6 months and 70 million people continue to grow".

Is the third generation

In early 2009, the Shanghai electric power group, the "eco home" is also missing Taiwan treasure robot, I hope to develop a Fudan, as the third generation of the robot Haibao came into being.

2003, Fudan 78 alumni, Michigan State University computer and engineering college professor Weng Juyang became professor of distinguished lecture presented large, "autonomous mental development theory. In the same year, the establishment of intelligent laboratory limb. When the theory is mature, the robot will play an important role in putting the theory into practice.

Related subjects associate professor Zhang Wenqiang and Zhang Rui et al in Juyang led by Professor Weng, the beginning of the "theory of autonomous mental development algorithm and intelligent robot".

Zhang Wenqiang think, the theory has been relatively mature, World Expo is a great opportunity to show results, the project finalized.

2005, Fudan centennial celebration, Zhang Wenqiang team from theory to practice, the introduction of the first robot Fudan one, with 1 year old child's intelligence. Subsequently, Fudan two, the success of the development of baby robot, to promote the theoretical study. "Hai Bao" was born, in this robot family is a grandchild.

LED knows how to dress up"

"Hey Jude, don't beafraid...... "Change" Elvis Presley costume, wearing sunglasses, the appearance of "punk" Haibao "sang the Beatles classic track" H eyJude ", this is the March 18, 2010" Haibao "for the first time in the Computer Science Institute of Fudan University unveiled to the media.

In fact, in the "treasure" in the closet "Tibet" dress suit, Superman uniforms, Hawaii Hula and other kinds of style; and Yao Ming wore the number 11 shirt, and a Yang Liwei space suit, "Haibao" will be able to instantly show the coolest. Than 'face' faster. School of software, Fudan University, Zhang Rui teacher, to help the 1.8 meters high, the weight of the sea to achieve the weight of 100 kg of the robot to change, is full of the whole body LED. biggest difficulty is that this piece of E L D. Zhang Rui said. He is in charge of the electronic circuit part of the team. The traditional image display is mainly flat, the robot can only use ordinary display to achieve changes in the face. In order to make a curved display "Haibao", Zhang Rui spend a lot of energy to the L E D selection, splicing, design internal circuit, finally to achieve the effect of "Haibao" facelift ", screen display, time variable, immediately changed by L E D, we want to make it a 'dazzle' effect. "

Robots learn to be smart

By the end of 2008, Zhang Wenqiang led the development of a team of Haibao robotics team to start early, to explore how to integrate into the Expo elements, the final decision, not only to the Sea Hyun, but also wisdom".

On the computer desk in the lab, the camera swings back and forth, repeating the same chair over and over again.

"This is done in the object recognition test", Zhang Wenqiang said, this is the team of robots selected to display the "wisdom", using "autonomous mental development technology" "Haibao" can be like a baby, through repeated learning, gradually know more and more things, improve the level of intelligence. Fudan independent research and development technology, is currently in the world leader.

The concept of "development" simulates the process of children's growth. The child's mental development is through repeated parental education, communication with the surrounding children and the environment of the cable.

"Haibao" robot is also the same, when it sees an item, according to a set of algorithms to extract object features, the establishment of database. The researchers repeatedly tell it what this is, after a number of "learning", when the robot to meet the object and feature and database matching, it can know the things that researchers have to "teach" to it, so as to realize the development of the mind. In the past, the traditional robot learning must be done by writing a new program, the use of "autonomous mental development" technology, without reprogramming, the robot will be able to understand new things.

Thus, "Haibao" has the ability to interact with visitors, it can imitate the tourists simple arm movements of tourists in front of it for a long time, "Haibao" can perceive tourists interested in yourself, it will automatically enter the interactive mode of advanced, take the initiative to invite visitors to take photographs, and the picture is displayed on your chest.

Interdisciplinary team support operation

Hoi Po's production team has twenty or thirty people, including Fudan University students, master's degree, doctoral students, as well as the leadership of the teachers of the 6; teachers and students from different professions, is an interdisciplinary combination.

"Haibao" has three modes: normal mode, advanced mode and V
