How big is this robotic arm? When it stands up, it is about the size of an office chair.

At the bottom is a metal base, and the robotic arm is installed on the base to maintain stability.

Qiao Yi and Qiao Er are making the final adjustments. Through a control software similar to a machine tool, the robotic arm is opening and closing, making a clacking metal movement sound.

"Boss, the robotic arm is done according to your requirements," Qiao Yi, wearing a dark blue work uniform, said with a grin. "Dynamic capture isn't possible yet, but there are no issues with mechanical movement."

Ye Qing took over the control panel and played with the control lever a few times.

The three joints of the robotic arm moved somewhat slowly, and the noise was quite loud. During the movement, the mechanical stiffness could be felt.

If traditional robotic arms are like the Zero propeller fighters of World War II, and the robotic arm in the blueprint is like the F22 Raptor stealth fighter, then the one Ye Qing made with severely substandard materials in the workshop can only be considered a first-generation jet aircraft, without radar or weapons systems.

There's no way around it; Ye Qing's factory is just too small.

Chin in hand, Ye Qing circled around the chair-sized robotic arm, pondering how to expand it into a product and promote it to the market.

Currently, if the drive components were enlarged, it could be transplanted onto an excavator.

Or it could be made into a remote-controlled robotic platform and sold to people involved in dangerous operations.

The remote-controlled platform is simpler; a ready-made remote-controlled tracked robot could be purchased and modified, of course, with the manufacturer's authorization.

At the same time, the structure of the robotic arm needs to be simplified, only slightly better than similar products on the market, with a clear advantage, but not so powerful as to make people feel hopeless.

From a technical perspective or for maximizing profit, it would be a rash and unprofitable move to immediately release the best product.

For example, Apple, starting from the groundbreaking iPhone 4, releases a new model each year, making small upgrades each year.

Not only does this keep users eagerly anticipating, but it also earns astronomical amounts of money.

No one would turn down money. With Apple setting the standard, Ye Qing can follow their product sales model.

However...

The idea is perfect, but whether it's for excavators or remote-controlled robots, a large sum of money is needed.

In short, Ye Qing currently has no money. The two to three million he has is not enough to enter the excavator and remote-controlled robot manufacturing market; it's like a dream.

Lacking money means earning money. If he sells the technology to large machinery manufacturers like Huaxing Heavy Industry, he would become rich, but Ye Qing doesn't consider it at all.

His goal is to be the world's top manufacturer. The companies on the rankings are his fierce competitors, and he needs to surpass them one by one.

Selling the technology to them would allow them to use their already mature and vast sales channels to quickly sell the product worldwide, reach the top of the industry, and rapidly expand their scale and ranking.

This is aiding the enemy, this is selling the rope to hang oneself.

So no matter how difficult it is, Ye Qing will do it himself, gradually expanding the factory.

He can wait for the engraving machine to become popular and then use the money to develop excavator and remote-controlled robot manufacturing. Or he can think of a way to quickly get the money...

After thinking for a long time without coming up with a solution, he noticed that the robotic arm standing there looked like a chair.

Ye Qing simply sat down in the palm of the robotic arm, using the raised fingers as the backrest, and slowly thought.

The weather was getting hotter, and sitting on the stainless steel felt cool and comfortable.

However, the position of the mechanical fingers at the back was a bit uncomfortable, so Ye Qing picked up the control panel and slowly adjusted the five mechanical fingers to the most comfortable state.

Right!

He remembered that the gaming chairs used by streamers all had lumbar supports.

Ye Qing controlled the tips of the mechanical fingers to tilt slightly forward, forming a lumbar support.

The robotic arm was a bit high, so Ye Qing bent it a bit more, tilting the palm slightly backward so that his head could rest on the middle finger of the robotic arm.

Hmm~ Office chairs usually have two armrests, so Ye Qing lowered the thumb and pinky of the robotic arm to make two armrests.

Surprisingly, using three mechanical fingers as the backrest and two as armrests was very suitable.

The five mechanical fingers had forty adjustable joints, allowing Ye Qing to adjust to the most comfortable and pleasant sitting posture.

Ha ha~ Ye Qing, who had discovered a new toy, held the control panel and controlled the main joints of the robotic arm, making it sway back and forth, and he sat on it like a rocking chair, feeling extremely comfortable.

The back had fourteen adjustable mechanical joints. Ye Qing, who was hooked, controlled the three mechanical fingers on the back to give himself a gentle wave massage.

"Mmm~ Mmm~" Even with the machine tools roaring in the workshop, they couldn't drown out Ye Qing's satisfied hums.

There's no way around it; Ye Qing had created a robotic arm that simulates human movement.

Although it was a stripped-down version, it had all the functions of human fingers. And because it was large enough, with the main arm bent horizontally and the forearm slightly raised, it was like a natural office chair.

It's like when a person rests their chin on their palm while lying on a table. If the arm were large enough, like an office chair, it could support a person and make them very comfortable.

The mechanical palm had five adjustable points, and Ye Qing made some fine adjustments to reach the most comfortable state.

Ha ha ha~

While getting a massage, swaying back and forth, and rotating, he could also sway left and right and move up and down.

The key was that this massage, when a regular massage therapist lightly taps the back, cannot achieve the flexible movement of each joint.

But the robotic arm is different. With fourteen finger joints and five palm joints, it can move flexibly and coordinate to perform any complex massage, giving Ye Qing the experience of being massaged by ten top massage therapists at once.

This is the most intuitive difference between biology and mechanics, like the huge difference between a human being unable to produce two sounds simultaneously and a speaker being able to produce thousands of different sounds at once.

"Qiao Yi, Qiao Er!" Ye Qing shouted excitedly. "Immediately, make another robotic arm of this size, and make it symmetrical. I want to install sponge padding and turn it into an office chair."

"No problem, boss, we'll make it to your satisfaction."

"Ha ha~ The world's most advanced office chair is in my hands!" Ye Qing thought that just padding it with sponge wasn't enough; it needed to be wrapped in top-grain soft cowhide to be a complete office chair.

Then Ye Qing suddenly jumped up from the incomplete office chair!

"Damn~ I don't have the money to make excavators, but I can make these chairs!" Ye Qing pounded his thigh; making these office chairs would make him rich.

Then he could invest a large sum of money to directly make excavators!

Those who do game streaming love to show off their gaming chairs, saying they have ergonomic structures, adjustable lumbar and neck supports, and adjustable armrests...

A genuine chair like this costs several thousand!

My combination, with infinite adjustability, can support a severe hemorrhoid patient by slightly curling the mechanical palm to lift their buttocks.

Adjustable armrests?

My armrests can be adjusted 360 degrees and can gently massage your thighs.

Install a cup on the armrest, and it can completely free your hands, giving you an experience you've never had before.

High-end office chairs with massage functions?

I'm sorry, once the massage program is loaded, it's like having ten top massage masters, all massaging you at once.

Rocking chair?

...

When your girlfriend sits on your lap, the mechanical palm can open and close, allowing you to enter and thrust effortlessly.

The two armrests can help you perform various lewd actions, and with props...

Rotating rocking chair?

The two armrests can gently hug you like a seatbelt, and the arm-like mechanical arms can make you experience all the amusement park rides, and with a VR headset, you can transcend reality.

This chair...

Wrapped in memory foam and pure cowhide, it should sell for at least 30,000 to 50,000!

What's the cost?

The cost is at most 3,000, and selling it for ten times that, Ye Qing doesn't think it's expensive.

Once this chair is launched, which big boss wouldn't want it?

Which man wouldn't want it?

Which woman wouldn't want...

Most importantly, this chair doesn't require the extremely complex modifications that excavators or unmanned robots do.

Now, with only two to three million in savings, although Ye Qing thinks making excavators is very cool and industrial,

But using this money to make excavators and unmanned robots is like going to the dragon pit with a level 1 character and a Doran's Ring.

Making chairs is so simple; a control panel with various function programs can achieve all the above functions.

There's nothing you can't do if you can think of it.

When the time comes, I'll follow Apple's lead and release S versions, plus versions.

The low-end version targets those with weaker purchasing power, while the mid-range and high-end versions target high-income professionals who often sit in offices or use computers.

With money, making excavators becomes much easier, and it also explains why Ye Qing has such advanced excavator technology.

Because I got the inspiration from the chair and used the chair's patent technology to transfer it to the excavator.

Hmm~ I also need to give this high-tech chair a cool name. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
