Chapter 6 The Confidence of Confidence

Seeing the two nodding, Wu Hao changed another page of PPT and continued: "And our technology is much more advanced than theirs.

There are also four major systems under this technology, namely real-time interactive remote control system, UAV data interconnection system, interconnected information processing system, and real-time attitude control system.

First of all, let's talk about the real-time interactive remote control system, which is easy to understand, is the remote control of the UAV cluster, so that it can achieve or achieve the attitude and three-dimensional we require.

On the surface, we are no different from the remote control technology on the market. But in fact, the direct difference is still very large.

Our feature is that we are able to grasp the data fed back by the drone in real time and flexibly control the drone. This control can be through a program or directly human. ”

"But in this case, the amount of computation will be very large, and a dedicated host will be required to control the computation. It is also necessary to take into account the time generated by the calculations and the impact of the delay in the transmission process on the flight control. Zou Xiaodong asked his own question.

Wu Hao nodded and smiled: "Therefore, we need a data interconnection system and an interconnection information processing system to solve this problem."

The UAV control system on the market is actually a host that sends information instructions to N UAVs, that is, 1⋉N [connection symbol] mode, and there is no information interaction between UAVs.

Our UAV data interconnection system technology can realize the information connection between UAVs and UAVs, as well as the interactive connection between UAVs and UAVs and ground control hosts, so as to achieve a 1⋈N⋈N way. ”

As soon as his words were finished, Zou Xiaodong replied: "Line design and line connection is a science, not just a connection. Instead, it is necessary to connect N devices in an optimal way.

The speed at which information can be disseminated through these devices will not be delayed or blocked due to the large number of devices across devices.

If N drones are connected in an orderly and reasonable manner, the workload and difficulty will be very large. Again, I don't know what the use of interconnecting the data of these drones is. ”

The problem raised by Zou Xiaodong is actually a complex problem in the computer field, especially in large-scale computers and servers.

Let's say there are 30 computers, how do you connect them? The easiest way to do this, probably to connect them in series.

However, this will cause problems, and computers 1 and 2 will have a smooth connection with minimal latency.

However, in the case of computers 1 and 30, in order to interact with each other, they must cross the 28 computers in between.

The best and most direct way is to add a root wire to connect No. 1 with No. 30. Then there are numbers 1 and 15, 15 and 30, and even 7 and 15. So eventually, this will result in a complex network of lines.

That's just 30 devices, like some mainframe computers or servers, with thousands or even tens of thousands of subsystems (subdevices).

How to connect all these things together is probably one of the first tricky problems to solve when developing a mainframe computer.

Wu Hao changed the page of PPT again, only to see that the title of this page reads 'Interconnection Information Processing System'. At first, the two didn't care, but when they saw the following instructions and related illustrations, the two couldn't help but be surprised.

"What you mean is to connect all these drones to each other to form a complete system." Zou Xiaodong looked at Wu Hao and said in surprise.

Yes, Wu Hao nodded and said, "In the past, we relied too much on the host. All the data of the drone array needs to be transmitted to the host for processing and then redistributed to each drone, which is not only time-consuming, but also inefficient.

Our system can realize the autonomous processing of data by UAV swarms. ”

However, limited by the load and power of the drone, the ability of the drone to process data information is very limited. Yang Fan asked his own question.

Wu Hao replied with a smile. "That's right, a drone is like this, yes, but hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands, so the combined information and data processing capacity is considerable."

What Wu Hao said is actually similar to the structure and calculation method of a large-scale computer, the computer's ability to process data is related to its CPU, the more cores, the faster the processing speed will be.

It's like the same task, handing it over to one person and handing it over to multiple people together, and multi-core CPUs are naturally much faster than single-core CPUs.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the single-core CPU is much faster than the quad-core CPU.

Like some large-scale computers, they basically use this superposition and combination method, which optimizes the combination of countless computing module units. So as a huge computing system, this is a supercomputer.

The interconnected information processing system proposed by him is based on the structural principles of large-scale computers. And it has been modified and optimized on it to adapt to the UAV swarm network.

If it had been before, he would definitely not have been able to complete this huge project. But now, he only needs to modify the relevant data information stored in his brain to come up with a complete set of technical data.

However, with his current energy, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete it in a limited time. That's why they need helpers, they only need to build the framework branches, and some small things will be filled in and refined by the two of them.

"According to what you proposed, this is definitely a very complex project, and in such a short period of time, do we have the ability to complete it?" Zou Xiaodong worried.

In this regard, he waved his hand and said with a confident look: "Don't worry, everything is in my head." ”

"What are you kidding, it's all in your head, do you know how complex this set is?" Zou Xiaodong lost his voice.

Wu Hao smiled slightly: "Do you think I'm joking?" ”

Zou Xiaodong and Yang Fan glanced at each other, and then looked at him directly. After watching it for about three or four minutes, he shook his head and said, "It's not like it, but I still don't believe it, you can do this thing." We've lived together for four years, and I never knew you had the skills. ”

"There's so much you don't know." Wu Hao replied with a smile, but in fact, he was nervous in his heart. He was afraid that Zou Xiaodong and Yang Fan would continue to chase each other, and he would come out with his feet exposed.

Fortunately, the two did not ask each other, and Zou Xiaodong sighed: "I can't see you more and more clearly." ”

"Okay, don't be emotional, let's work with emotion." Wu Hao interrupted the discussion between the two and urged.

"Hey, you haven't explained the real-time attitude control system." Zou Xiaodong asked.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile and said: "This is the category of drones, and I can't use it for the time being. ”

Seeing that he was reluctant to say more, although the two were a little disappointed, they still got up and took action.

"So where do we start?" Zou Xiaodong asked.

Wu Hao thought for a while, and then said to the two: "Let's start with the construction of a real-time interactive remote control system and a drone data interconnection system."

Dongzi, I'll send you the system framework, and you can refine the filling. ”

"No problem."

Seeing that Zou Xiaodong responded, Wu Hao rushed to the side and said: "Yangfan, your task is also very difficult, and I will leave it to you regarding the hardware."

And the entire hardware part, the most important is the drone body. Secondly, as well as the ground coordinate positioning generator, as well as the ground remote control system.

I think you can start with the drone body that you are most familiar with. ”

“OK!” snapped his fingers and got busy.
