Chapter 19: How Could A Perfect Performance Just Be Given A Passing Grade?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the third round of shooting ended, the robot and soldier were quickly summoned back.
Everyone ended the competition with great tacit understanding. No one mentioned the outcome of the match anymore.
The soldier glanced at the robot with a complicated look in his eyes.
He knew that he had lost the second round.
Although the general did not say that he had any problems nor did he blame him, he could not lie to himself despite the researchers’ praise.
Therefore, the soldier stood at one side in silence and did not say anything else.
On the other side.
Everyone surrounded Anderson. At this moment, they only had one question in their hearts.
“Anderson, we only have one question. The situation that happened just now, including the soldier’s actions, was everything in Robot No. 1’s calculations?”
Anderson looked at everyone and pondered for a moment. Then, he took out a control device that looked like a keypad or a phone.
“It’s actually not that magical. Robot No. 1 cannot predict the state of others. These are all probability calculations based on real-time data on the spot.”
“Based on data?” Joseph’s eyes lit up as he quickly took the control device from Anderson’s hand and connected it to a tablet computer.
At the same time, he said to his assistant beside him, “Start calculating now.”.
After all, what if he was the only one who was mistaken? That was when the assistant’s role was vital.
After looking at the data, he could see that the overall data of Robot No. 1 showed three stages according to the time period.
The first stage was when the robot was just in position and there was a large amount of data feedback.
This situation should have been when Robot No. 1 had just gotten into position and was scanning the terrain, starting to collect a large amount of data. However, the data did not change much.
The second stage was when the soldiers started shooting. At this time, the fluctuation of the data was even greater and there were lots of data calculations that had already caused a very drastic change.
“It should be this place. Robot No. 1 has a more obvious reaction.”
“Yeah, why hadn’t the robot reacted to the stimulus earlier?”
“This is the first two rounds. In the first round of targets, the soldier started shooting, and in the second round, because the targets that appeared were all overlapping targets with hostages, the soldiers stopped shooting.”
“So, Robot No. 1 is analyzing the soldier’s state and behavior?”
“It’s very possible!” Joseph said in realization.
At this moment, General O’Neil’s face became very interesting after hearing the analysis.
“This robot has such an ability. Is this your artificial intelligence?” General O’Neil couldn’t help but ask.
“Actually, this robot doesn’t have much to do with us. It was basically created by Anderson!” William said.
“Anderson, you mean that young man?” O’Neil turned his head and looked to the side.
“Anderson, do you have anything to say?” Joseph asked with a smile.
At this moment, Anderson looked at the crowd with a smile and nodded.
“General, I actually still have a lot of unfinished work regarding Robot No. 1’s design. For example, the current identification system and the learning ability are still a little slow at the initial speed. There’s still quite a gap compared to what I imagined.
“If Robot No. 1 could enter a state when the soldier fired the first shot, perhaps before the second round, Robot No. 1 would already be able to learn and correct itself at the same time.”
“Now, every time it carries out a new mission, it has to be given a certain amount of space and time to learn. Although the final result is acceptable and almost a passing grade, it’s still not enough…”
Hearing Anderson’s analysis and answer, the people present were speechless.
Such results could only be called a passing grade?
“Anderson, I have a question. You just said that every time it goes out on a mission, it needs to learn once. If it’s something that has been learned beforehand, can Robot No. 1 enter the state immediately?” General O’Neil thought for a while and suddenly asked.
“Well, in this case, it’s indeed possible to enter the state and start the mission without collecting data on the spot.” Anderson nodded.
“Well, since we have just had a competition, I want to see how far your Robot No. 1 can go if it’s only a single test!” General O’Neil stated curiously.
“Hmm, if that’s the case, it might be worth testing.”
Anderson looked at Joseph and William, wanting to see their thoughts.
Joseph thought for a moment then agreed with General O’Neil’s suggestion. “Anderson, there’s no rush now anyway. The function of Robot No. 1 can be improved slowly in the future. Now that General O’Neil wants to test it again, we can also collect more data, which can be compared with the data later.”
It was obvious that General O’Neil was interested in the machine.
General O’Neil was their big customer. If he really placed an order, it would be a huge sum of money.
Anderson took back the controller in Joseph’s hand again and soon, another round of target shooting occurred.
This time, there was no competition.
Robot No. 1 arrived at the position where the soldier was previously.
This position was the best position in the entire shooting range.
The soldier was worthy of being General O’Neil’s most elite special forces soldier. He did not spend much time in the previous competition. With just a glance, coupled with his rich combat experience, he found the best shooting location.
Of course, Robot No. 1 did not come to this place because of the soldier. Instead, the data told it that this location was the most advantageous within this terrain.
Robot No. 1 quickly lay on the ground like a professional special forces soldier. It was exactly the same position as the soldier had done earlier.
This action was learned from the soldier’s action. Because it was the most labor-saving and concise, he chose this action.
And just this action alone instantly made General O’Neil, who was at the side, approve of Robot No. 1.
“It has the standards of a soldier!” General O’Neil praised.
“Yes.” Joseph nodded in agreement.
“President Joseph, General O’Neil, Robot No. 1 is ready. Shall we start the test now?” asked Anderson.
General O’Neil was about to nod.
Suddenly, Joseph realized that this was no longer a competition, but a test. He immediately shouted to his assistant beside him, “Hurry up and bring the most accurate test equipment in the lab. Hurry up!”
Yes, just now, he subconsciously thought that this was still a competition.
Therefore, it was not easy for them to accurately measure the test results. If General O’Neil saw him doing such a thing earlier, he would definitely be dissatisfied and think that they did not value their competition.
Therefore, he did not take out the test equipment from the laboratory before.
But now, there was no problem. Whether the data was good or bad, it was just a problem with the robot.. It had nothing to do with the general.
