Robots fighting back against humans finally happened to me…
It happened last week that Brother Pao and his friends received a new thing: a robot that can play chess. Faced with such a novelty, we are a little bit troubled: there are not many people around who can play chess, and we don’t know how to test its function…
Suddenly, we took it to a nearby park to set up a chess booth to meet the challenges of many passers-by.
Before the stall was set up, the uncles in the park had already surrounded it and expressed their disapproval of such a little guy.
After all, its cute appearance and the name “Yuan radish” look like a children’s toy. It is difficult for people to associate with masters and black technology…
However, with the start of the first wave of duel, the air near the chess booth gradually became tense. It only took 15 minutes, and the first big brother to challenge chose to give up voluntarily.
Afterwards, more people joined the showdown with it, and the onlookers continued to make suggestions for the contestants, which was equivalent to playing ten Yuan radishes each, but all the opponents were defeated without exception. Only a little brother who has been playing chess since he was a child has fought with it for the longest time, even reaching the endgame, but he is still no match for the AI. According to his feelings, Yuan Rui’s chess skills have reached the level of provincial champions. It seems that you are not wronged to lose…
The most irritating thing is that when you are defeated by Yuanluo and need an encouragement, it will smile and say to you, “Winning or losing is a common thing in the military, heroes, please come again.” It’s just that this tone really doesn’t mean a bit of encouragement, and there is a lot of ridicule. Of course, it is not impossible to beat it, either choose the simple mode, or turn off the WiFi. So what is the origin of this chess robot? Why is it so great?
Although Yuan radish looks raw, you may have heard of Shangtang Technology behind it. This is an artificial intelligence software company from China, focusing on computer vision and AI technology. Because of its strength, it was once blocked by the US like Huawei…
The reason why the Yuanrui robot plays chess so well is precisely because of the complementary performance of computer vision and AI. It is reported that it has gone through hundreds of millions of self-play games, and the AI algorithm built through continuous self-learning has reached the level of a chess grandmaster.
It has two “eyes”, and the camera located on the “antenna” on the top of the head is used to observe the chessboard, which can accurately identify the changes of the chess board, and “think” coping strategies in real time through the algorithm. On the front of the fuselage, facial recognition is performed on the user for quick login.
Wasn’t my gaffe when I was abused by it being watched over and over again?
In addition to “brain” and “eye”, Yuanrui’s “hand” is also remarkable. It is one of the few that applies industrial-grade robotic arm technology to consumer products. With the cooperation of AI, it can achieve “hand-eye” Synergy”, able to move with millimeter precision.
Moreover, it “pick up” the pieces by magnetic attraction. The robotic arm is equipped with a touch sensing system, which will stop directly when it recognizes the touch of a human hand or other objects, without pulling and confrontation, which is very safe.
It also takes into account a lot of details, such as the most troublesome step of placing a chess piece, and it can solve it for you. When you play chess, if you take away a few pieces, it can be put back for you…
The technology is good, but it is the worldly sophistication that needs to be learned more.
While playing chess with you, it will also analyze the winning percentage of both sides in real time and display it on the screen. Isn’t this purely a mentality?
It also provides a 26-level chess level, which can be switched between master and rookie at will. The only time Pao Ge won a high difficulty level was by cheating in QQ chess…
In addition to chess, it also provides chess teaching functions, and has passed the professional certification of relevant departments, supports online grade tests, and obtains grade certificates issued by the Chinese Chess Association.
Don’t look at Chinese chess as not as famous as Go, both of them and chess are both chess items for the admissions program of sports training majors in ordinary colleges and universities, which means that playing chess well can also give extra points to the college entrance examination. It is much more reliable to sign up for a training course at a large price. And this feeling of playing through real chess pieces is irreplaceable for computers, mobile phones and tablets.
But Brother Pao feels that more important than learning chess is its inheritance of our traditional culture. Now that there are so many ways of entertainment, those traditional games are slowly being forgotten, and fewer and fewer people can calm down and play chess. If there happens to be an old man who likes to play chess at home, you can also use it to relieve boredom, and maybe you can also play happily with the children. Isn’t this way of showing the warmth of humanity through technology exactly what everyone wants to see? In the end, Brother Pao still has a question… There are chess robots, when will Dou Dizhu and Mahjong be arranged? I hope one day, the robot can beat me with 17 cards.
