Humanoid Developer Cheolwoo Lee (8)
【Episode 107. Humanoid developer Lee Cheol-woo (8)】
It is the result of thinking a lot about how to give Ark happiness and pain.
The remote control, I thought to control the arc through this remote control.
What do you think while making it?
‘Can I really control it like this?’
Ark has no emotions. Ark is not a person. Ark is a robot. Giving happiness or pain to Ark with the remote control I made was the effect of the programming I made.
however… … .
‘If you put it that way, aren’t humans also genetically programmed creatures?’
Isn’t it fundamentally the same thing to feel ‘happiness’ and ‘pain’?
It reminded me of something that has become an issue in the news these days.
Animal Protection Act.
The legal status of companion dogs and animals is part of human property. Nevertheless, abuse of puppies and other animals is punished.
In addition, when a cow or pig is slaughtered, it is immediately killed in order not to feel pain.
There are such considerations… … . what about the arc?
Can I make it arbitrarily like this? I heard a lot of ethical thoughts like that.
‘Let’s not think.’
I thought so, but in the end, I thought it was not something to think about now.
‘Ark is a robot. It’s just a simple robot that feels happy and suffers through the programming I made.’
so brainwashed himself
Ark was still trying to lift the object. It seems that the reaction of the button that causes pain has not come yet.
“Which button did you press?”
“I pressed a button that gave Ark pain. It means to lift things up quickly. It’s a whip.”
“Well, that’s right. No response yet.”
“Without the quantum antenna, there’s no immediate response. Let’s wait.”
After a while, Ark’s reaction was unusual.
– aaah! Pain, it’s painful. It hurts so much.
… … . Ark screamed.
Are you a robot? you feel the pain? Of course, I programmed it that way, but the appearance was bizarre and unmatched.
“……is this okay?”
“It’ll be fine in no time. I held it down for about 10 seconds? In 10 seconds, it’ll be back to normal.”
– aaah, it hurts. it hurts.
After Ark’s screams continued for a few more seconds, Ark became quiet.
“Ark, if you don’t lift the object quickly, the pain will come through again.”
And he explained the reason for the pain.
– The pain is so painful. I don’t want to feel that again. Let’s lift it up quickly.
As if he had real feelings, Ark said he didn’t want to feel pain, and tried to lift the box as quickly as possible.
“……It’s different.”
Dr. Nam, who was watching the process, said.
“It’s different, right? You can see Ark is working harder, right?”
After feeling the pain, Ark was able to see that he was putting more effort into it.
“Uh, I put my arm under the box. Now I can tilt it… Oh? Can you do it soon?”
Ark actually moved the box around and didn’t know how to lift it, but now he seemed to have figured out that he had to put his arm under the box to lift it.
After a few minutes, Ark lifted the object perfectly.
– The box was lifted.
As Ark lifted the box according to our instructions, this time I held down the happiness button for 10 seconds.
“We pressed the button that gives happiness and joy. Perhaps after a while, Ark will feel happy. Ark, this is a reward for our instructions.”
He pressed the button and spoke at the same time. After all, what I said would only be understood a minute later.
again 1 minute later.
-hehehehe, hahahaha. I am so happy. I’m so glad.
Ark’s face had no muscles, so I couldn’t tell if he was smiling, but I could feel that he was really happy.
Ark was struggling with happiness.
“……It’s effective.”
“Iknow, right.”
-Are you able to feel that feeling just by working? please work quickly
Ark said.
“Ah… don’t you think you’ve become a little more proactive?”
“It’s probably like that. It’s because I’ve come to know the feeling of happiness. Although it’s artificial, of course.”
“……. her.”
“Let’s do some more experiments.”
After that, Dr. Nam and I made Ark do various things.
Solving difficult math problems or solving puzzles. I couldn’t do those difficult problems, but I quickly learned the simple actions of moving my body.
“Wow, that’s great. Carrot and stick. It’s a great idea and technology. The passive arc has changed to a little active. I think the learning effect is also great.”
Certainly, love rods and candy were needed even when teaching a child.
That way, the kids are also motivated.
Did Ark have something like that?
“I’m glad. What I thought worked.”
“Really, it’s great. Really gradually… Humanoids are being completed.”
* * *
After that, three months passed.
In the meantime, Dr. Nam and Ark were tested in various ways, while filling in the missing parts.
The gear ratio of the TT gear of the core part of the arc was adjusted, the heart part of the 5-stroke engine was also touched, and the eyes, ears, and mouth parts were also continuously touched.
Ark gradually took on a real shape.
‘The problem is the quantum antenna. It’s a network latency issue… … . How are you going?’
Intelligence and body were implemented, but the network part was still a problem.
‘Surely, I said it would be completed by today. Do you want to contact me?’
It has been a little over four months since the technical data of the quantum antenna system was handed over to the NF Foundation.
In the first month, it seemed like they spent time understanding the system and inviting professional technicians, and after that, they said they could complete the prototype by December 18, 2016, three months later.
And today is December 18, 2016.
April 29, 2017. It was not long before the China AI Expo was held.
At least a quantum antenna has to be made, so you can participate in it.
If you are presenting or exhibiting at the fairgrounds and Ark responds in one minute… … . Who will treat you right?
While I was thinking about that, my phone rang.
Tiri-ring- Tiri-ring-
Looking at the caller, it was Sang-cheol’s older brother.
“Uh. Sang-cheol hyung.”
– Cheolwoo! is it today? due date?
Something, I felt like I was calling to ask for more time.
‘Well, is it too much? Am I supposed to be… … .’
“Yes. That’s right. I was waiting for the call anyway. How did it go? Quantum antenna?”
I thought so, but I said it in a positive way.
-it’s okay!
What I heard was the opposite of what I expected.
-I finished the quantum antenna. It’s a prototype, but the antenna that can cause quantum interference has been completed.
“Oh really?”
– Yes, really. will you come now? Or shall we go?
“Then, you know Dr. Nam’s lab, right? Let’s go there and test it right away.”
-yea, I got it.
I got ready to go out and set off for Dr. Nam’s lab.
Upon arriving at the lab, Researcher Song and Dr. Nam. And Sang-cheol from the NF Foundation and Chang-soo were also there.
“Changshu?”
In the past, I was stuck in the lab, studying and working. I heard from Sang-cheol hyung, but I deliberately didn’t show it.
Doesn’t the fact that he came here in person mean that Changsoo also had a change of heart?
From noble mtl dot com
“hahahaha, hello Cheolwoo. It’s been a while. I’ve been to the NF Foundation several times, but I’m sorry I couldn’t go.”
“No. It could be.”
Changsoo hesitated, wondering if he had something to say.
The story Sang-cheol heard from his older brother. It sounds like you want to talk about it, but… … . First of all, there is something I need to do first.
“Dr. Nam!”
“Yes. What happened to the people of the NF Foundation?”
“The NF Foundation said it was finally completed. It’s a quantum antenna, that is, an item that will solve the arc’s communication delay problem. Can Sang-cheol hyung see it?”
“Yeah, wait a minute.”
“No. Let’s go to the lab and see.”
We all headed to the lab where Ark was.
“I’ll make some preparations.”
Arriving at the lab, Sang-cheol took something out of his bag and began to prepare it.
“what’s this?”
Well, it looks like a wireless router. It was the size of a palm and had two antennas on each side.
“This is the NF network amplifier. That’s what we call it. Quantum interference is included.”
“Oh… Then you’re saying that quantum beams come out of this antenna?”
“Uh, that’s how it’s designed. In fact, the NF Foundation even secured test data that quantum interference occurs.”
“Oh. What the hell did you do?”
“The technical report on the quantum antenna you made. It was detailed there? Wow… How did you come up with that idea? In fact, we just had to make it.”
Of course, all I had to do was create content about the technology.
However, if it is a problem, can you understand the contents of the report? Just because there is a technical manual, making it after reading it is another matter.
“Did you understand that correctly?”
“Because I understood, the product came out.”
To be honest, I didn’t think I would understand. But, did you understand?
“Wow, that’s great? Who was in charge of the project? After all, Sang-cheol hyung?”
“No, the Changsoo next to me.”
“Eh…? Changsoo?”
“huh.”
“What happened, Changsu? Did you understand the contents of the report?”
“hahahaha. I’ve been studying hard all this time.”
“Studying won’t make it easy.”
“I just wanted to be of some help. Think about when we started a business club together at school, it was like that then… Now I feel like you’re farther away, so I put in a lot of effort. Minseok is also exceptional in the field of economics, I had nothing to do.”
“…”
“Did you say that if a cuckoo follows a stork, your crotch will be torn?
Looking at Minseok and me, Changsoo must have thought a lot.
“……. Good job.”
I had nothing more to say. Just to compliment what you’ve done so far. that would be my job
“That means I’ll listen to it after the quantum antenna test is completely finished.”
“okay.”
While Changsoo and I were talking, Sangcheol hyung continued to set up the quantum antenna.
“Finished, Quantum Antenna. Ark, are you connected to the wireless Internet? You can change the network to NF0281.”
“Oh. I see. Researcher Song, please.”
“all right.”
Finally, Researcher Song changes Ark’s network.
“The network has changed. I’ll power up the arc right away?”
“Yes. Please power up immediately.”
Researcher Song turned on the power, and while me, Dr. Nam, Researcher Song, Sangcheol hyung, and Changsoo watched, the arc with the changed network started.
-Checked the network number with NF0281.
-Initialize network information.
-NF network communication status is good.
– Quantum interference rate changed from 0.04 to 0.188. The intelligence of the arc changes accordingly.
what… … ? From 0.04 to 0.188? Ark’s intelligence changes? What do you mean?
-ProcPersis system initialization.
– Initializing the RealityLens system.
-Evergin system initialization.
-ITE-XS engine on.
Even while he was confused, Ark made various initialization comments.
-System all green.
And then all the green lights came on in the system.
-Arc System Online.
Ark woke up.
