Tianjin Net News Fan Magazine Reporter Zhang Shaoxuan Live Report In the first episode of the second season of China’s Got Talent, which premiered on the evening of May 1, the performance of the robot dance team from Harbin Institute of Technology was unique. The seemingly clumsy robot can not only converse fluently with the judges, but can even dance to different music rhythms. During the recording of the show, the three judges unanimously gave them YES without any dispute.
However, it is this group of cute robots that has aroused the suspicion of "anti-counterfeiting fighter" and famous popular science writer Fang Zhouzi. On the evening of May 12, Fang Zhouzi wrote on his personal Weibo: These robots were bought from abroad. The slightly larger one is the French "nao robot", while the shorter one is the Korean "MINI robot". Harbin Institute of Technology is suspected of fraud. As of press time, this Weibo post had been forwarded more than 5,000 times and had more than 3,500 comments. Netizens have expressed doubts, are these cute robots really "fake" as Fang Zhouzi said?
Faced with questions from netizens, today the program team of "China's Got Talent" released the entire recording of the "Robot Dance Team" program. It can be seen from the video that during the China Got Talent show, the Harbin Institute of Technology team made it clear to the judges and the audience that not all of these robots were independently produced by Harbin Institute of Technology, but the programs for dancing and talking were developed by Harbin Institute of Technology professors. Innovatively developed by Hong Bingrong and his team. At that time, a judge asked whether the robot was completed by the Harbin Institute of Technology's robotics team. Professor Hong's answer was this: "That's not the case. The big machine was imported from France, and the latter was a joint cooperation between South Korea and Harbin Institute of Technology."
Although these robots are not 100% made in China from the inside out, nor can they be regarded as the world's leading high-tech products, the three judges still said that the talent show is not a scientific research competition, and the judges are not I am not a scientist, so I cannot comment on the hardware manufacturing level of the robot, but the creativity of the robot performance is very fresh. The program written by Professor Hong and his team members not only makes the robot highly entertaining, but also gives people a glimpse of the future of high-end robots. The application direction of technology in ordinary people's lives.
From this point of view, the so-called robot fraud incident does not actually exist. Harbin Institute of Technology has already explained the entire situation in advance, and the judges also gave yes because of those interesting programming designs. After the incident, Professor Hong Bingrong sent a special text message saying that when he was recording the talent show, his original intention was to say that the robot dance developed by Harbin Institute of Technology was not inferior to any other country. However, due to excessive nervousness at the time, he described the robot dance as robot, which he hopes can be corrected. In addition, Professor Hong believes that Fang Zhouzi’s statement on Weibo that any application developed with foreign robots will have foreign patents is incorrect, and he hopes that Mr. Fang Zhouzi can correct it.
In fact, programming this type of robot is very simple. The little robot on the Spring Festival Gala is metal-fighter from South Korea, which can be found online.
