Chapter 58
Microsoft's press conference was held in the conference hall of the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Atlanta, the capital of Georgia. They were planning to hold a grand press conference at the Atlanta Center Stadium.

And Nadella transferred the press conference to the conference hall of the Marquis Marriott Hotel. Nadella is a very principled person, saying that Microsoft's housekeeping service robot came out today, and it came out today!
Atlanta, built on the mesas at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, is the third highest city in the United States. Rich people gather here. Even in heavy rain, the entrance of the hotel is still crowded with vehicles. The traffic on Third Avenue in Atlanta makes American traffic police are concerned.

The entrance of the venue was also full of people watching, but because it was not held in the central stadium, only some of them could enter the venue to see Nadella's speech.

And there are several huge LCD monitors at the door, constantly playing the promotional video of Microsoft's domestic service robot. The theme of this video is only one, which is to liberate life!

After going to work for a day and returning home, you still need to face piles of housework. This is a headache for countless people, but judging from the promotional video of Microsoft’s housekeeping service robot, these will be solved.

A pretty girl straightened her clothes, gestured ok to the camera, picked up the microphone, and smiled with eight teeth.

"This is Kang Na, a reporter from CBS TV. I'm at the scene of Microsoft's press conference. Today Microsoft will release their product, a housekeeping robot."

"We all know that Microsoft's Bill Gates is the richest man in the world. Similarly, his attitude towards robots is to support and actively develop them. As early as 2001, Mr. Gates predicted that robots will change people's way of life. Released at the Microsoft conference Before, I always thought that highly intelligent robots would definitely be used for military purposes to solve the increasingly severe world situation."

"Obviously, Microsoft's domestic robot has brought us enough surprises. Let us take this surprise to interview Mr. Ward, the general manager of Microsoft's domestic robot."

"Hello Mr. Ward, can you talk about domestic robots and why they are used in civil affairs in the first place and not in the military?"

Connor handed the microphone to Ward, motioning for him to speak, and Ward said with a smirk on his face, "First of all, let me correct a mistake, I am not the general manager of this project, but the general manager of our project People are still reluctant to come out in the laboratory, you know these scholars, there are always some eccentricities. For example, Einstein likes long-sleeved shirts and doesn’t like wool, Tesla likes vegetarian food.”

"Our general manager is a genius. If it weren't for him, our domestic service robot may take many years to produce a product. We should thank him."

"As for your question, about why high-intelligence robots are first used for civilian use. This involves the robot-environment interaction system. The battlefield environment is too complex, and the requirements for the robot's environment interaction are higher. Obviously, the robot-environment interaction system It still hasn’t met the battlefield requirements.”

"The current robot level, on the battlefield, is just sending money." Ward finished answering.

Curiosity flashed across Kang Na's face, and she asked, "I wonder if the person in charge of Microsoft this time is Alex, who is known as a rookie at Microsoft?"

A wry smile flashed on Ward's face. Alex was preparing to quit Google recently, and Nadella also offered a sky-high salary to keep him. It's just that these things are convenient for you to talk about behind closed doors.

"No, our genius is only 21 years old, and he will definitely surprise us enough."

……

The interview is still going on, and the people around are all around the monitor, pointing.Imagine the changes that domestic service robots will bring to their lives in the future.

"Microsoft has a lot of hardware devices recently. If the housekeeping robot is released today, I will consider buying one. If it is not very expensive, after all, a robot that assists life is of course too expensive, so I will not consider it. After all Those chores are just tiring."

"That's right, the price is the key. If the price is a few thousand dollars, I have to think about it for a long time. This is my living expenses for a long time. I need to consider the gains and losses."

"If this robot can be used for more than ten years and the price is not too expensive, I will choose to buy one. I can no longer bear the grass on the lawn!"

"That's right, weeding every weekend, I think a few thousand dollars is totally acceptable!"

……

They were talking about the content of the venue, and on the booth outside Microsoft, there were HoloLens, surface Pro4 and surfacebook products, and of course the very popular smart eye holographic glasses.

Among the crowd waiting outside the door, 2 out of [-] used the smart eye holographic glasses, and there are three holographic cameras in the venue, which will conduct a holographic online live broadcast of the whole process.To the scene, just to better feel the atmosphere.

As soon as the video on the display screen went black, a countdown appeared, counting down from 10. This was just simulating the countdown of the rocket launch, which made the audience highly nervous and prepared.The origin of this countdown comes from the sci-fi movies of German UFA movies.

Scientists feel that this kind of countdown is good for expressing the decline of time and bringing a sense of urgency to the staff.Of course, after the cesium atomic fountain clock in the 90s, this kind of manual operation with huge errors has tended to be eliminated, and it is more of a show, or a symbol of the chief engineer.

When the countdown ended, Nadella appeared in everyone's eyes, and the holographic environment of the wisdom eye was also replaced by the venue? , watch this product launch.

In front of the huge DLP splicing projection screen, Nadella stood with some gray hair. He took a long breath. This person is also very low-key. After taking office, he has not released an inaugural speech. in public.

"Hello everyone, I am Satya Nadella, born in Nisams, Hyderabad, India, I was appointed as the new CEO of Microsoft. Before that, I worked for Microsoft for more than 20 years. Served as Executive President of Microsoft's Cloud Computing and Enterprise Division."

"Of course, everyone is not optimistic about me taking over as CEO of Steve. On the day I took office, Microsoft's strong growth in market value actually fell by 0.39%. This is bad news for me."

"People have the impression that I'm not tech-sensitized. On that, my college teacher once said to me, 'I can't recall him right away, he wasn't the best student, he wasn't the worst student. It was just The records show that he's pretty good.' Clearly, the teacher was right."

"Fortunately, today Nadella brought a product that is enough to subvert this technology's insensitive cognition, and I have always maintained my acumen in dealing with the industry!"

He tidied up his collar, turned on the DLP splicing projector, and on the background board, a large icon with three circles was projected. This icon has appeared countless times in promotional videos.

"This represents the three aspects of our Microsoft in the future, namely innovation, creation and the future! The future direction of our Microsoft is to break the rules! Continuous innovation, this aspect has been fully demonstrated when the holoens was born, of course, now We will do better in the future.”

Nadella's words drew the usual applause, and no one was optimistic about his inauguration.Gates, the founder, is not optimistic, the board of directors is not optimistic, employees are not optimistic, and all sectors of society are not optimistic.

The stocks in the rising period actually fell, which shows that Nadella has never been favored. He urgently needs this product to make his reputation, so he is so eager to release new products.

"Our protagonist today - a domestic service robot! LifeAide!"

As he spoke, he lightly pressed the remote control in his hand, and the robot slowly walked onto the stage from under the platform. Nadella watched lifeAide slowly walk onto the stage, and turned to the audience and the camera.

And the smart eye user pushed the camera to the front of LifeAide, and carefully looked at the details of LifeAide!
Zhu Cheng is also watching, it can only be described as perfect!There is also a robot in his smart home system.

And Microsoft's engineers are worthy of drawing gears all their lives, and this kind of black technology against the sky was born!
What is actually used is the steps on the leg walk!Not to mention a huge increase in the production cost of the robot, it is also a new breakthrough in terms of its own technology.

Many people don't understand the meaning of leg walking, and Nadella obviously doesn't want to explain this professional issue. Customers just want to know how they get this product to help their lives, not technical details.

Of course, the audience was just surprised that many robots walk on wheels during demonstrations, but Microsoft's housekeeping service robot can actually go up the stairs independently.

"This is our LifeAide, a domestic helper, what can it do?"

"The first anti-theft detection! When the door lock, door and window sensors are abnormal, the homeowner will be notified directly, and the thief will be photographed. After testing, most of the thieves will be caught when they are still digging things."

"The second safety check! The high-precision scanner scans the home environment every day, and compares it with Microsoft's big data detection to completely solve the family health and safety problem."

"The third is cleanliness and item handling. This is the result of the most ingenious mechanical design of our domestic robots. Daily life garbage can be collected and stacked at the door or in the yard."

"The fourth household statistics! The little assistant of life, when the toilet paper, garbage bags, and bottled water are about to be used up, you can notify the head of the household as soon as possible, or set up automatic purchase!"

When Nadella finished talking about the four uses, the emotions of the audience in the audience had already started to get a little warm, and the sparse applause started to get warm.
