AsiaIndustrial NetNews: I don’t listen to things outside the window, and I only focus on cutting noodles! Recently, the cafeteria of South China Agricultural University launched the “Black Technology”robot“Knife Sliced Noodles”, attracting students to watch, the robot “master” instantly dominates the screen! Completely dressed, chef uniforms, hats, masks are as many. High-cold posture, precise knife skills, the robot uses actions to tell you what is textbook-style noodle cutting technology!
Rare and more strange, more common is not strange. In fact, the introduction of noodle-slicing Robots in the cafeteria is not the original of Huanong. Similar “robot noodle-slicing” has swept the country a few years ago. However, the noodle cutting robot is not a high-tech product, and it is even more incompatible with the so-called black technology. Just like a man shaves, maybe it used to be manual, with a blade razor, but now it’s electric. In essence, it is a tool to put it bluntly. It is far from the point of a robot, and it has neither form nor spirit-“I said why the model in the clothes store at the door is missing a head”, in appearance, robots give people such a Visual sense, let alone thinking and algorithm at all?
Of course, from the perspective of the application scenario, it is impossible to use a robot for such a simple action as cutting noodles. The reason why it is named as a robot is that on the one hand, it is because the dressed up tools look like people, and on the other hand, it is to create a gimmick to facilitate the sale of goods. From the perspective of creating conflict, Hua Nong’s beautiful robot may not be as good as Ultraman. After all, the former is dressed in a professional dress, wearing a big white hat and a mask, while the latter is completely unmodified—— – Tight clothes and tight pants are undoubtedly more suitable for the battle scene.
As far as noodles are concerned, robots may not be better than humans. In the food industry that pays attention to taste, this is undoubtedly a flaw. The emergence of noodle-cutting robots may be regarded as a signal of machine substitution. The main purpose of introducing noodle-cutting robots in college cafeterias is to improve the efficiency of noodle-cutting and realize the replacement of low-tech and repetitive labor. With development on this basis, there will be machines to replace people, and then part of the labor positions will be allocated. When labor costs are low, this trend is not yet obvious, and once labor costs are high, this trend is bound to accelerate.
Judging from the trend, there will be more and more jobs occupied by robots, and they are mostly concentrated at two ends: in addition to the replacement of inefficient and repetitive labor, there are more jobs that require high technical content, or are environmentally dangerous and cannot or are incompetent for human labor. Such as bomb disposal, disaster relief and so on. Relatively speaking, some jobs that focus on interaction and have social attributes to a certain extent are not easily replaced by robots, such as haircuts. From the perspective of technical difficulty, it is not a problem to be replaced, but for people who like to talk, this may be. Not pleasant. People are more willing to trust a mouth that can spit out words and a pair of warm hands than a cold machine.
Looking further, in an industry that is purely connected between people, robots may never be the protagonists. For example, psychological consultants need to listen, accept, empathize, focus, analyze, judge, advise, etc. This extremely complex mental activity requires great wisdom. In a short period of time, this is far from relying on algorithms. Robots can handle it.
