Chapter 1152: 1151 Nurse Robot
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tan Rou didn’t stop the merchants from leaving. She would turn this into an exhibition area for TR’s products sooner or later anyway. If the merchants left early, she could make preparations earlier. She had already bought the mall, so she didn’t have to worry about the rent, so she didn’t care if the shops were empty.
Tan Rou planned to use the first and second floors as the exhibition area. The current plan was still the same. Their company did not have many products to display, so the first and second floors were enough.
This time, Tan Rou planned to showcase a robot that she had carefully designed for a long time. This robot was originally going to be exhibited at the international exchange last year, but it was not perfected at that time. There was a small problem that had not been solved, so she did not show it off.
After a few months of modification, the robot’s system was already very perfect. It could be used as the highlight piece of the new mall.
“What are you going to show me?” Zhuang Liu’s eyes were blocked, and he could only rely on Tan Rou to pull him forward. “Could it be a gift for me?”
Tan Rou smiled. “Don’t ask anymore. You’ll see this thing soon.”
Zhuang Liu continued to walk until they reached a bright place. He was filled with anticipation. Could this be the venue for his wedding with Tan Rou in the future? Otherwise, why would it be so bright?
Tan Rou took off the cloth covering Zhuang Liu’s face. Zhuang Liu was blinded for a moment. After he got used to the strong light, he saw a robot about 1.7 meters tall standing in front of him.
This robot was very different from the ordinary robots produced by TR. Ordinary robots were cute. Although they could be customized, their bodies were still spherical.
However, this robot was different. It had a body similar to a human’s, and its watery black eyes were almost no different from a human’s. If one ignored the metal skeleton on its body, then it was a human.
Zhuang Liu was a little surprised. “Is this the robot you developed first? It looks much more advanced than the previous robots.”
“It’s not completely innovative. The basic program of this robot is still the same but I added some new content to make it work better.”
Zhuang Liu walked in to observe the new robot and said, “High-tech products are updated very quickly. If you can’t get a product that can satisfy customers, they probably won’t buy it. What’s so special about this robot?”
“This robot is specially designed for the elderly. It’s a highly intelligent robot that combines nursing and companionship.” Tan Rou quickly answered.
There were many high-intelligence robots on the market that had the function of companionship. The first few robots produced by TR Company were mainly used in life, and most of them were companion robots.
If the robot this time was still an ordinary companion robot, then there was no need to design it. Even if its appearance changed, it was essentially the same. Customers would not pay a higher price for this kind of robot.
“A nursing robot?” This was the first time Zhuang Liu had heard of this type of robot.
“I can understand the concept of a companion robot, but how do you understand this nursing robot? Could it be that it can take care of others?”
Although there was a program to take care of others, it needed to input instructions, such as what time to do and what to do. Otherwise, it would not work.
The companion robots produced by TR were more flexible and could perform other actions according to instructions. However, robots were robots after all. If it was a job that required too much thought, they would not do it.
“This robot is specially designed for the elderly.” Tan Rou revealed a sad expression. “Do you still remember Zhang Feng?”
Of course, Zhuang Liu remembered Zhang Feng. At that time, he accompanied Tan Rou hoping to purchase the special herb from Zhang Feng, but Zhang Feng did not ask them for money.
Zhuang Liu had also heard from Tan Rou what happened after that. Zhang Feng died alone at home. No one accompanied him until the last moment. His body was only discovered a few days later.
“Did you design this robot because of him?” Zhuang Liu also felt a little regretful. Zhang Feng was their benefactor. They should have been tougher and brought Zhang Feng out of the small village.
