(Original title: Chinese military factories use ammunition to produce ammunition media: twice the production capacity)
According to Hong Kong media, according to a senior scientist, robots can increase China’s bomb and shell production capacity by two times in less than a decade. The scientist participated in a project that uses artificial intelligence to increase the production capacity of the ammunition plant.
According to Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" website reported on January 1, Xu Zhigang, a researcher at the Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chief scientist of China's "High-end Weapon System Intelligent Manufacturing" project, told the South China Morning Post on December 27, about a quarter of China's The ammunition factory has replaced workers with “smart machines†or started to do so.
He said that these robots with artificial "hands and eyes" can assemble different types of deadly explosives, including shells, bombs, and rockets. They can also produce more sophisticated ammunition, such as guided bombs. These bombs are equipped with computer chips and sensors that can be precisely hit.
Xu Zhigang said that the productivity of these robots is five times that of ordinary workers, but once all Chinese ammunition plants are upgraded in the next decade, the overall productivity increase can be “at least†100-200%.
He said: "This is not to say that our country is preparing to fight, so we must quickly produce weapons."
Xu Zhigang said that the use of robots is to solve security and labor supply problems.
He said that in the past, a bomb assembly line required more than 100 workers, and now only three workers are needed after the recent upgrade.
They stay behind bulletproof shelters. One worker monitors the production process through the console. The other two are responsible for the work that is too difficult for the robot, such as connecting tiny wires inside the bomb.
Xu Zhigang said that these bomb-making robots differ from traditional industrial robots in many ways. For example, their robot arm can obtain energy from compressed air instead of an electric motor to avoid static electricity.
He said: "A spark can lead to a big explosion and make the entire factory a big crater. Fire is our biggest challenge. It's like a sword hanging over my head."
The article said that in addition to reducing the risk of injury and death, robots produce bombs and have other advantages compared to people. For example, they can accurately weigh the explosive mixture and then load the powder into the warhead with just enough pressure to achieve the optimum density required to produce the greatest possible explosion effect.
Xu Zhigang said that it may take a few years for an average worker to master these skills. “And the robots will never be tired†because they are designed to work continuously for months.
Huang Dexian, a professor at the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University and a member of the expert group who advises on the use of robots in production, said that robots with well-written machine learning algorithms can analyze the movements of skilled and experienced producers and propose high production rates. New method of quality products.
He said that in recent years, even some factories in developed coastal areas have found it increasingly difficult to hire workers, and the shortage of labor in ammunition factories may pose a threat to national security.
Huang Dexian said: "In the bomb manufacturing process, robots can free workers from dangerous repetitive labor. This will bring new job opportunities such as control optimization, hardware maintenance and technology upgrading. This will give us a more Strong, healthy and happy defense labor force."
Xu Zhigang said that this project will also allow other defense industry departments to use robots, from assembling optical reconnaissance equipment for military aircraft to producing high-powered diesel engines for military vehicles.
He said that China's robots used in national defense production may not be as advanced as those in Western countries. For example, robots used in the United States are advanced, but this is also difficult to determine, because the actual operation of an ammunition factory is usually a strictly conservative secret.
According to a recent publicity video released by some US plants, such as the United States’ largest conventional bomb production base, the McCarran Army Ammunition Factory in Oklahoma, some of the dangerous steps such as the filling of warheads with explosives are done by machines, while others Still done by hand.
