The elderly would not use these robots on their own accord, so they needed someone to help them set up the program. After Tan Rou set up the program, she instructed the people not to touch the buttons on the robots at will or destroy the robots. Otherwise, they would not be able to get the money.
Thatâs right, this experiment was expensive. The lives of the elderly were relatively difficult. If it werenât for money, they wouldnât have volunteered.
Once they heard that they wouldnât be able to get money if they damaged the robot, they would definitely cherish the robot; at least they would let the robot work for a while longer. This would eliminate the old evil people. If the old people deliberately came in to cause trouble, it would affect the results of the experiment.
Fortunately, the old people that Zhuang Liu found were more obedient. Only a few old people liked to torment the robot and deliberately mess with it.
The robot did not have human emotions. It did not know if the elderly were really in danger, so whether the elderly were pretending or really in danger, the robot would follow the instructions to protect them. When some old people discovered this situation, so they tried their best to put themselves in danger and mess with the robots settings.
Tan Rou was furious when she found out. She warned the old man who participated in the experiment not to mess with the robot anymore. Otherwise, she would take back all his money and ask him to compensate for the damage to the robot.
When the old man heard that he had no money to pay, he was afraid. He immediately promised that he would not bully the robot again and would do the experiment according to Tan Rouâs request.
Tan Rou wanted to give him another chance, but she had a new request. She knew this old man well. His name was Wang Si. He had studied for a few years when he was young and was educated. Therefore, Tan Rou had asked him to write about his experience with the robot.
The volunteers had improved the robot, but most of the elderly at the bottom were illiterate, so people who could write like Wang Si were very rare.
After being threatened by Tan Rou, Wang Si didnât dare to cause trouble. He treated the experimental robot like his ancestor and wiped it clean with a rag every day.
Tan Rou could see how Wang Si used the robot from the surveillance camera. She was speechless when she saw Wang Si wiping the robot with a rag. However, she did not stop Wang Si because it was beneficial for the robotâs protection.
About half a month later, the data that Tan Rou needed came. All the old people praised the robot and even made some small suggestions, hoping that it could be improved.
Tan Rou read through all the suggestions and chose the ones she thought could be used as reference to give to Zhuang Liu, hoping to get some advice from him.
âThis old gentleman said that we can add a custom-made face to the robot. I think itâs acceptable, but we canât go too far. For example, if he wants to change the robotâs face to that of a peerless beauty, thatâs definitely not possible,â Zhuang Liu said.
Tan Rou was amused by him. âAccording to what you said, itâs impossible for the old lady to turn the robotâs face into a handsome man?â
Zhuang Liu directly denied it. âThatâs definitely not possible. This robot project can only be changed to the level of a normal person, unless there are special circumstances. For example, people who have lost their wives and children can change the robot into the appearance of their loved ones. This is acceptable.â
Tan Rou nodded. âPeople change the robotâs face to look like a peerless beauty or a handsome guy to satisfy their own selfish desires. This will form a competitive heart, which is not conducive to better putting the robot into use.â
Zhuang Liu flipped through a few more pages. âIâve also read the other suggestions. Theyâre very reasonable suggestions. You can make appropriate arrangements. If your time is tight, thereâs no need for you to do everything yourself. You can leave the work to your employees.â
Zhuang Liu had always felt that Tan Rou was too tired as a boss. Not only did she need to talk about work, but she also needed to design her products. She was not like a boss at all.
The only company in the world where employees were more comfortable than their bosses was probably TR.
âOkay, I got it.â Tan Rou shook Zhuang Liuâs hand.
âAfter Iâm done with this, Iâll go rest for half a month, okay?â
