The position of Dajiang in the field of drones is difficult to shake, and behind this is the technical strength of thousands of engineers in Xinjiang, but how does Dajiang establish such a large R&D team?
As the founder of the university, Wang Tao, a founder of Dajiang University, also highly respects the engineer culture within Dajiang. However, many people think that engineers are boring research and development, but Dajiang does not think so, and does not want you. Think so.
As a result, Dajiang founded a very special "robot competition" - RoboMasters contest, as the initiator and organizer of RoboMasters, Dajiang provided the basic components of the robot, including the power, for the participating teams - students from universities across the country. System, battery, etc. But the robotic control part, including the automation part of machine vision, is done by the students themselves.
Through such a fierce and tough competitive style, DJI hopes to better understand the "engineering culture" and let more college students fall in love with technology. So this time, Dashu, the director of intelligent navigation technology for DUA and the technical director of Robemaster Department, also came to Geek Park to explain how the interior of Dajiang is using robots to create a special "engineering culture."
On September 27, 2016, DJI Innovation released the MAVIC PRO aircraft in New York. This product is one of our most important products in 2016. I would also like to thank the Geek Park for rating MAVIC PRO as 2016. Smart hardware.
MAVIC PRO has a collapsible body that greatly increases the convenience of use. In addition to inheriting the wizard 4 machine vision technology, it also adds a lot of new features, such as smart return, gesture self-timer and so on. I don't need to repeat more about the features of this product. Many users like this product very much. Besides using this product, I am very curious to ask, how is an engineer team inside DJI Innovation? What kind of designer is such a product.
I believe that my friends here have similar problems. My speech today explains from a relatively special point of view how DJI Innovation has built a team of engineers like R&D today.
How does Dajiang establish such a large R&D team?
I personally have this view. Dajiang Innovation is not only a drone company, but also a robot company. We are now experiencing a great era in which icy robots gradually enter people's lives from factories and wilderness, into people's warm homes and become companions to human life.
MAVIC PRO has a compact body and flexible functions. In order to design such an aircraft, it is necessary to have engineers to integrate into their own love, to maintain a good understanding of the robot, and engineers also need to love life very much, Discover various problems in life.
MAVIC PRO mechanical designers are very passionate about life. He is a skier and more than a mountaineer. More than a year ago, we also exchanged the pain points of using drone aerial photography during the climbing process, which also led to some ideas for designing MAVIC PRO.
Just as we see that MAVIC PRO will think of an engineer behind it, if we see some other robots on the stage, you may also want to ask, what is this, who designed it, What it is used for, any robot has a team of designers and engineers behind it.
The beauty of the machine comes from the beauty of human creation.
For engineers who can build and design aircraft and robots, this is a bigger problem than designing aircraft and robots themselves.
From drones to robots
To answer this question, DJI Innovation launched a robot competition called RoboMasters, which was actually held in a venue with a basketball court size. It has a similar venue design to some popular e-sports games. The contestants need to make their own robots and play on the competition. Of course, the teams themselves need to design some different characters and different functional robots to gain more technical advantages in the competition field.
The robots on the field will pass through the wireless system and a server called the referee system. This referee system can read the various positions, statuses and other information of all the robots in real time and display them in a small map similar to the game.
The robot passes through the red and blue sides on the field. The red and blue sides are each connected to the operation room of the two players in their own venue through an infinite system. The players participating in the operation room must give the robot a control command by manual, automatic or semi-automatic means. The robots shoot each other in the playing field, our referee system will automatically detect the collision between the plastic projectiles that the robots hit each other, and convert the hitting of the bullet into a decrease in blood volume. If the robot reduces the blood volume to zero. , will automatically stop the material system to stop all behavior.
It's very similar to some of the major video games now, but we have put a lot of effort into materializing this concept.
This competition has been held twice in the past two years. It is mainly for students from colleges and universities around the world. We can see that the number of colleges and universities participating in the competition has gradually increased. The 2017 season is also half a year later. In the competition, we just completed the registration work and received a total of 200 teams from home and abroad.
Why not a more intense robot fight?
Some friends may ask why the game between robots does not use fighting, and may have a greater visual impact. The original intention of designing this game is to cultivate technology, so we are more concerned about this game. The technology demonstrated, in addition to the blood volume and damage detection method we designed, does not actually cause any physical Shanghai. The robot is safe for people. It is very suitable for students without any robot foundation. Production and debugging.
In addition, shooting this thing sounds very simple, but in fact we have a lot of technical details to think about when we implement it, for example:
First of all, in order for the robot to shoot the bullets of each other, it is necessary to collect the bullets from some places first, and it is necessary to manufacture a very complicated mechanism for gripping and sucking.
In addition, if the robot wants to move flexibly in the field, it is necessary to design a very good driving system, and it is necessary to involve a proper suspension suspension system according to the weight of the robot itself and the terrain of the site.
Third, in order to achieve an accurate attack, the robot must perform a good quantitative analysis of the trajectory of its own machine. In addition, it also needs to introduce machine vision algorithms for target recognition, motion estimation, target position prediction, etc. .
Finally, in order to integrate all of these technologies into small, flexible robots, students must carefully consider the entire system design of the robot, which requires them to study such a way in a way similar to making products. robot.
"Giving people to fish"
We believe that the whole set of techniques is a very good exercise for students.
In order to better explain the technology just mentioned, we have prepared a demonstration area on the left side of the stage. There are two robots in the demonstration area, one red, one blue, and blue robot as the target in the venue. Just moving back and forth, the red robot has an automatic recognition and automatic attack algorithm.
Well, this program is implemented by the robot operating system. This technology is actually under our efforts. It has become a third-grade university student, and it can be mastered in two or three months. Technology. When making a complete system, students can learn the principles of the Linux operating system, the principles of the robotic operating system, and various algorithms for recognition, target detection, and motion estimation.
Some friends who may understand technology can also see that some of the technologies just introduced have been used in several products of DJI technology innovation. But from our perspective, we are happy to share technology with users, and we are more willing to share the development ideas and research ideas of these technologies through the robot competition to more students.
Compared with the general robot products, the robot competition is a process of giving people a fishing. At the same time, we also found that when we do robot competitions, we can also find out a lot of new ideas about education, which is why We will treat the robot game as a very important thing.
Then, to be more specific, the robot competition itself has a very strict timeline. For example, if we say that we want to play in July, students must put the whole set of robots in July. If this opportunity is missed, we will lose this. A waste of time of the year.
In addition, in the rules of the game, we can actually update and add some scenes that can be integrated into real life, so that students can solve a more realistic problem while solving the technical points in these games. For example, the rules of our RoboMasters competition have a new element called the Moto Robot, which needs to carry some obstacles in the field to defend or block the opponent's attack.
When students did this, they made engineering robots. The technology of this engineering robot can be used to implement the moving objects and fast moving technology required in a scene like warehousing or logistics.
We believe that such a way of cultivating technology and such a way of thinking about robot problems can be a good complement to students' education. In addition, students participate in this competition, struggle with their classmates, discuss each other, and their ability to work as a team is also very good.
Let the engineer become a star
Of course, one more important thing is that we want to make engineers a star through this game. Everyone can see that the scene of our competition has been designed with gorgeous dance and lighting effects. We also invited well-known e-sports to explain the scene to explain the game for everyone. In addition, inside and outside the competition, we will also use WeChat and Weibo. To tell the contestants who participated in the competition, they are in the process of making robots and the various stories they experienced.
These initiatives are believed to give students more attention and potential sponsorship and support. With these sponsorships and support, this game will continue to last. In addition to the competition, we have also opened many other activities, such as a summer camp that allows students to study the new elements of the competition, and a youth engineering conference where students exchange technology and team management experience.
These activities are all about creating an engineer culture, and we also want to promote such a culture throughout the society. Let young people learn about robot games through the activities of our games and competitions. Robot engineers are a very cool and very powerful thing.
In many Hollywood movies, movies generally use technology and robotic elements to attract people's attention. In Hollywood movies, the protagonists usually have one or two people who are scientists. Moreover, these scientists will use their own scientific knowledge and engineering knowledge to discover key clues in the film to promote the development of the entire story.
In contrast, our Chinese photography works without such performance. Is it because our country lacks robotic engineers and powerful robots? We don't think so, so in order to implement this idea and promote the culture of engineers better in society, RoboMasters invited a well-known Japanese animation team to create an anime about a group of Chinese college students participating in the RoboMasters competition. In the process, learn about yourself and learn to communicate with others.
In the process of making this cartoon, we refer to many experiences of participating in the RoboMasters competition in the past. We want to tell the story of the robots that we worked hard in the school as much as possible. The theme of the 2015 RoboMasters competition was called "Different Battles". Many students told us that this different battle also brought them different youth.
Different battles
From the contestants we heard a lot of stories about working hard to balance school, work and robot making in the school. We are very touched by the process of seeing them arguing, discussing and reaching consensus with their teammates. We also want to tell these stories through anime, so that more human bodies will be touched by what we have experienced.
In the first half of this year, we will conduct university curriculum cooperation with several universities in China, which is based on the robots that create the RoboMasters standard. In May we will hold four divisions in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu. In June we will host a technical challenge at the International Robotics and Automation Conference in Singapore to attract technical and robotics from around the world. The same name animation that we just introduced in July will be released. We will also hold the final global finals in Shenzhen. As the climax of the whole season, this game will also be on-site commentary and live broadcast of the network.
In 2016, more than 20,000 spectators were present at the scene, and more than 6 million people online watched the live broadcast. We believe that more people will participate in 2017, then this game is in its first In the past three years, it has formed a relatively good influence, but we also know that as a training game for talents, cultivating talents is a ten-year tree, a perennial process of centuries-old trees.
So we will continue to work hard. I believe that with the growth of RoboMasters technology, we will be able to create the best robot education products in China, thank you!
