About ten or twenty minutes passed, and amidst applause that was not particularly enthusiastic, Sun walked off the stage with a somewhat dejected look.
Nick, who was preparing to go on stage, didn't say much; he patted Sun on the arm and immediately walked up.
It was evident that the audience below did not seem very interested in their technology; everyone's focus remained on Nick's swarm control technology and drones.
After he stepped back onto the stage, the somewhat noisy crowd below quieted down again.
Nick scanned the room, then smiled at everyone and said,
"Actually, regarding our technology, everyone has learned a bit through understanding it, and I also mentioned some things after the previous demonstration.
It's just that, that time was in front of politicians and other media, so due to time constraints, I only gave a concise summary.
Today, almost everyone here is an industry insider or a major expert in the field; if I don't talk about something substantial, I'm afraid it won't be easy to pass muster."
Hahahaha...
The people in the audience smiled knowingly; weren't they gathered here specifically because they wanted to learn more?
Nick waited for everyone to quiet down and continued, "I have already mentioned before that my technology is not just simple drone swarm flight control technology, but a cluster array control technology.
It's just that in order to better demonstrate this technology to everyone, we chose the currently popular drone as the hardware platform to showcase it.
In other words, my technology is not limited to drones; it can also be applied to other scenarios.
For example, logistics!"
"Logistics?" Hearing him bring up this word, the crowd couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled; what did this have to do with logistics?
Meanwhile, some corporate personnel and researchers in the audience who were involved in the logistics industry sat up straight, very eager to know exactly what Nick meant.
After all, every technological upgrade and development is an important innovation for every industry.
And the logistics industry, which is currently in a period of integration, is even more sensitive to this aspect.
Especially with the continuous increase in domestic labor costs, the profits of the logistics industry have gradually dropped to a historical low, and many logistics companies are finding it increasingly difficult to cope.
Therefore, logistics companies are indeed very eager to welcome a technological revolution to minimize operating expenses and increase profits to the greatest extent possible.
In fact, the logistics industry has already seen the introduction of some new technical equipment, such as automatic sorting robots, automatic sorting equipment, logistics delivery robots, rapid drone delivery, and so on.
However, apart from a very small portion used in large logistics centers, most of these technologies are more of a gimmick.
Each logistics company is about the same, so a relative balance has been maintained; now it just depends on who can be the first to break this balance.
Because of this, these people were very concerned about the new technology Nick mentioned being applied to logistics.
"That's right, the logistics industry."
Nick nodded, opened the PPT on the large screen behind him, and said, "The advantage of our technology is its cluster array perception and control capability, which means we can apply this perception and control capability to many similar fields.
So, what is the first thing everyone thinks of?"
Nick glanced at the crowd, then changed the PPT slide, and a photo of sorting robots at work appeared on the large screen.
"That's right, sorting robots. We know that this type of sorting robot works on a field embedded with tens of thousands of magnetic nails, following programs set by a host computer.
Its entire process is automated and can achieve preliminary intelligence, theoretically capable of processing hundreds of thousands of packages a day."
"I won't introduce this technology much further; I'll just talk about the application of our technology in this area.
Suppose this system were upgraded using our technology; then every sorting robot would have a brain capable of thinking, which would greatly reduce its reliance on the host computer.
In other words, connections would be established between sorting robots, enabling not only synchronous data transmission and sharing but also real-time computation.
This would also make the entire sorting robot fleet react more quickly, not only significantly increasing their movement speed across the floor but also enhancing their ability to process packages.
Moreover, the entire sorting robot swarm would be able to operate autonomously according to set programs, reducing human intervention.
It could even autonomously adjust the number of sorting robots and their progress based on the volume of packages, thereby reducing unnecessary consumption and waste.
By the same principle, it can naturally also be used in large unmanned terminals to increase the overall efficiency of the terminal.
We haven't tested it in the field, so we can only make a preliminary estimate based on our technology.
After using our technology, the work efficiency of the sorting robot system could likely increase by more than forty percent, and energy consumption could be reduced by about fifty percent.
As for large unmanned terminals, work efficiency could also increase by more than thirty percent, and energy consumption could decrease by about thirty percent."
After listening to Nick's words, a commotion immediately broke out in the audience, and everyone began to discuss it heatedly.
Some were shocked, some were skeptical, and others were sarcastic; in any case, it was a chaotic mess.
However, Nick didn't pay much attention to it; he took a moment to drink some water, and seeing that everyone had gradually quieted down, he continued,
"I know that everyone doesn't quite believe the data I have listed; to be honest, if it were me, I wouldn't believe it either, because it's too idealized.
But what I want to say here is that this is just our preliminary estimate, for your reference only.
Of course, this data is not fabricated; we also arrived at it after in-depth calculations.
As for whether this technology will actually work, I think you can find the answer in the previous demonstration.
Regarding the use of our technology in the logistics industry, there are actually two other fields; these two are somewhat similar, so I will talk about them together.
They are the currently popular logistics delivery robots and rapid drone delivery.
These two are actually very similar; they both deliver packages, only one is in the sky and one is on the ground.
Currently, major logistics and delivery companies are all researching technology in these two fields and have achieved certain results.
What I want to say is that if our technology is added, these two fields could be expected to enter commercial operation very soon.
With our technology, drones could basically be freed from manual human control, achieving scheduled, point-to-point autonomous flight delivery.
This would greatly realize their intelligent and autonomous operation, reducing the terminal transport and delivery costs for the logistics and delivery industry.
And if logistics delivery robots had our technology, their dynamic perception and autonomous control capabilities would be greatly enhanced, promoting technological development in this field."
