Actroid

China Product


Technology

Internal sensors allow Actroid models to react with a natural appearance by way of air actuators placed at many points of articulation in the upper body. Early models had 42 points of articulation, later models have 47. So far, movement in the lower body is limited. The operation of the robot's sensory system in tandem with its air powered movements make it quick enough to react to or fend off intrusive motions, such as a slap or a poke. Artificial intelligence possessed by the android gives it the ability to react differently to more gentle kinds of touch, such as a pat on the arm.

The Actroid can also imitate human-like behavior with slight shifts in position, head and eye movements and the appearance of breathing in its chest. Additionally, the robot can be "taught" to imitate human movements by facing a person who is wearing reflective dots at key points on their body. By tracking the dots with its visual system and computing limb and joint movements to match what it sees, this motion can then be "learned" by the robot and repeated. butterfly wind chime

The skin is composed of silicone and appears highly realistic. The compressed air that powers the robot's servo motors, and most of the computer hardware that operates the A.I., are external to the unit. This is a contributing factor to the robot's lack of locomotion capabilities. When displayed, the Actroid has always been either seated or standing with firm support from behind. stained glass wind chimes

The interactive Actroids can also communicate on a rudimentary level with humans by speaking. Microphones within those Actroids record the speech of a human, and this sound is then filtered to remove background noise - including the sounds of the robot's own operation. Speech recognition software is then used to convert the audio stream into words and sentences, which can then be processed by the Actroid's A.I. A verbal response is then given through speakers external to the unit. indoor wind chimes

Further interactivity is achieved through non-verbal methods. When addressed, the interactive Actroids use a combination of "floor sensors and omnidirectional vision sensors" in order to maintain eye contact with the speaker. In addition, the robots can respond in limited ways to body language and tone of voice by changing their own facial expressions, stance and vocal inflection.

Models

The original Repliee Q1 had a "sister" model, Repliee R1, which is modeled after a 5-year-old Japanese girl.

More advanced models were present at Expo 2005 in Aichi to help direct people to specific locations and events. Four unique visages were given to these robots. The ReplieeQ1-expo was modeled after a presenter for NHK news. To make the face of the Repliee Q2 model, the faces of several young Japanese women were scanned and the images combined into an average composite face.

The newer model Actroid-DER2 made a recent tour of U.S. cities. At NextFest 2006, the robot spoke English and was displayed in a standing position and dressed in a black vinyl bodysuit. A different Actroid-DER2 was also shown in Japan around the same time. This new robot has more realistic features and movements than its predecessor.

In July 2006, another appearance was given to the robot. This model was built to look like its male co-creator, roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro, and named Geminoid HI-1. Controlled by a motion-capture interface, Geminoid HI-1 can imitate Ishiguro's body and facial movements, and it can reproduce his voice in sync with his motion and posture. Ishiguro hopes to develop the robot's human-like presence to such a degree that he could use it to teach classes remotely, lecturing from home while the Geminoid interacts with his classes at Osaka University.

Obvious gap between China's valve industry urgently enhance innovation capability

China Product


In recent years, China's valve industry, the development of faster, but still low overall level of the industry, products with low technological content, and many key parameters of high valve also imported. Some experts estimate that the level of our valves, compared with foreign advanced countries to 10 to 20 years behind. Not long ago, China's valve industry, to strengthen the valve manufacturing industry and the European exchanges, has organized more than 10 domestic enterprises had had valve trip to Europe, learned a lot of valuable experience of foreign counterparts, while the valve industry compared with foreign , also see our own shortcomings.

Process gaps

In the welding process, the German company to meet the nuclear-KSB valve sealing material against radiation, and has been widely used in special welding of cobalt-free solder powder; France Wieland will preheat valve, automatic welding, after welding treatment in the same equipment or processing production line with a complete, whether before welding, welding, after welding, handling, temperature control can be achieved to ensure the welding quality. tire wheel barrow

The welding on domestic technology behind the valve, and some also use old-fashioned welding, welder low level of technology, the solder material is also common materials, special valve design reach. Many enterprises engaged in production and sales all day, very few improvements in the technique on studying. fork lift tires

In forging the use of new technology, the German company KSB valve material to high temperature alloy steel F91, F22-based, while the high-pressure valve Youyi forgings mainly to ensure the reliability and economy. On the volume below the valve 600Lb greater use of forging and welding, the valve is not caused by casting porosity, loose, and many other defects, and greatly reduce the waste of free forging materials, economy greatly improved. used forklift forks

The domestic industry mostly valve rough pieces of multi-casting, forging the little used in the following high pressure valves 600Lb forging more easy to find. This regard, many enterprises in order to reduce costs, mostly by steel casting, low pressure cast iron pieces and more low-cost materials and processing technology is simple.

Quality management and equipment gaps

France Bernard electrical device company sales of 300 million yuan in 2005, exports accounted for 70% of sales, the establishment of a global sales network, our industry, papermaking, water treatment and oil and gas pipeline valves extensive use of the Denso Corporation products. In the nuclear field, their supply is ranked second in the world, France has 70 nuclear power plants to use their products. Their management is in place, the company recorded a single with the parts machining parts with circulation, production sites neat, clean, two assembly lines in order to work. They use screw machining roll, high efficiency, high surface finish parts. After processing, the parts cleaning in a timely manner, the location appliance applied correctly, such as the axis of each set in a plastic bag, very simple but very useful to avoid the collision between parts scratch. Parts of the painting with the domestic similar way, but because of its smooth and rough excellent quality paint, spray paint the future products, the appearance of effectiveness and quality is very good.

In contrast, the domestic quality management are still shortcomings, first of all more or less ignored in the process, many businesses have quality assurance system obviously can play no part in practical work but the quality management implementation up their own way, arbitrary; Second, in the assembly process is sloppy. No wonder some of the valve installed on the emergence of a run, run, drip, drain phenomenon.

Another example is a lot of production equipment, backward country, has remained in the last century the level of 70 to 80 years, some equipment had a life long period, also at full capacity, processing quality, how can guarantee? Some limited funds, also have been buying a digital control and processing center, but the formation of NC processing enterprises are not many in the industry so far, only about 20%.

Process management gaps

France Wieland Equipment layout process by product line were, in order to achieve the shortest processing line, so the operator can be in the range of motion within the smallest workpiece. They used a lot of five-axis machining centers and even flexible machining center, CNC milling machines and CNC machine tools, the computer-aided manufacturing a line, the product in a clamping device, once programmed. Programming can be even remotely in the office, so that simplifies the machining process, engineering and technical personnel as long as the program code is good, use appropriate tools, we can guarantee the product's processing requirements, and to product quality and high efficiency.

Tong Yang, the new Italian company Liucheng Billund features are: Jiedao order Hou, Kai Fa center into the design, Tigong product's design drawings, Wai outsourcing agreement details, Ji Xie processing procedures Jishu documents, through an internal Wangluochuanshu Daogexiangguan Bumen , the production department in accordance with technical requirements and sales orders to organize production. Blank into the plant, the Kuguan officers under the production plan will be blank and the other parts of the parts sent to the processing, assembly sites, not all of them produce their own, many are purchasing. But they almost all product components are completed in the NC equipment, processing accuracy, processing efficiency is very high. Staff in the operation of CNC machining equipment, processing platform can be access to parts diagrams and parts processing procedures, he requested only by processing the workpiece clamping to the numerical control device, start processing, you can automatically cars, drilling, milling, boring and other machining processes.

And many domestic enterprises do not professional valve, small but complete, the product mix, processing valve disorder, irrational processing equipment workshop, parts and components stacked not concentrate. Currently widely used piece-working hours, but also the disadvantages, unreasonable work hours, most still use the original hand-record aggregate settlement. It is because of some restrictions on business process management, leading to the low level of product technology, processing delay, raw material waste.

In addition, the internal mechanical processing equipment process layout are mostly arranged by type of equipment, furnishings, such as machining centers, horizontal on a row, standing on a row, put a row of CNC machine tools, such arrangements only consider to the site tidy, without considering the ease of operation, labor productivity is low, its head.

Alleged economic criminal cases are under police investigation Beijing, but stressed that the investigation does not involve the company. The CIMBResearch analyst KeithLi said

States United States

Electrical short of cash, Nomura International (NomuraInternational) expects the company's short-term liabilities about 940 to 3400 million yuan.



Chen Xiao, Gome has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of the company, Mr Deputy. Fang Wei, the company also appointed as acting chief financial officer, its chief financial officer Zhou Yafei is also being investigated.



Chen Xiao said in a statement, according to management's understanding of Gome Huang Guangyu individuals not associated with the investigation, authorities did not conduct this inquiry on the company's management.



From Xiao-founded by China Paradise Electronics Retail Ltd. (ChinaParadise ElectronicsRetailLtd.) Acquisition by Gome, Chen Xiao, Gome has served as the Chief Executive Officer.



Analysts say the company's announcement of the survey released recently by various news media widely reported, but not enough to placate investors. Gome is still suspended.



CIMBResearch analyst KeithLi said Gome lack of cash. Gome recently KeithLi will buy from outperform to underperform down.



Li by phone to Dow Jones Newswires (DowJonesNewswires) said that the face of the global credit crunch, investors need to know the company and its suppliers and creditors, if there are any changes to sign the agreement; but the announcement did not address this uncertainty factor.



Analysts expected, as at the end of October, GOME has a cash balance of approximately four billion yuan, while Nomura International (NomuraInternational) expects the company's short-term liabilities about 940 to 3400 million yuan.



Analysts say, Gome is also likely in time for the May 2010 redemption in advance of the redemption of its 4.6 billion yuan in convertible bonds, because the per share conversion price of 4.99 Hong Kong dollars higher than its current stock.



Citigroup (Citigroup) last Wednesday to Gome to buy from buy and cut its target for the sell price from 1.19 down to 0.60 HK dollar to reflect the uncertainty faced by the company.



Gome before the suspension in last Monday's offer of 1.12 Hong Kong dollars, has fallen 77% this year.



Another analyst who declined to be named, said that Gome's business appear to be normal, but their attempts to obtain new bank loans may face difficulties.



Gome said in the statement, Beijing Public Security Bureau has verbally notified the company, Huang Guangyu alleged economic criminal cases under investigation. Notice did not elaborate, but Gome executives declined to comment further.



Gome, the company that the chief financial officer Zhou Yafei also under investigation, it has been appointed as Acting Chief Financial Officer Fang Wei, chief financial officer.



Gome, a spokeswoman said the survey did not know who the two companies are in the custody of management.



Gome said the company's management after the initial internal review, the current assets of the group and found no funds had been misappropriated or occupier of the situation.



But Gome said it is prudent, the company will hire an independent accounting firm to conduct risk assessment on the GOME and related party transactions and the effectiveness of internal control systems are reviewed.
