Many countries in the world have regarded artificial intelligence and robotics industries as important topics to promote rapid economic growth and improve comprehensive competitiveness. Under such a background, our country is unwilling to lag behind in this field, so it urgently needs many talents to help the development of this field. With the announcement of the winners of the 2021 DAMO Academy Green Award, a female professor from Tsinghua University with cute pear dimples on her cheeks and a sweet, flowery smile instantly became the subject of public attention and heated discussion.
Since this strange woman can receive the award on the same stage as Wei Shen, it is enough to prove that she is by no means an ordinary person. After this young girl obtained a double major in economics and mechanical engineering from Tsinghua University, she completed doctoral and postdoctoral research at Cornell University and Harvard University. Despite her gentle and innocent appearance and dignified demeanor, her research field is quite hardcore and she possesses the courage of a woman to surpass a man.
Do you know who this female scientist with a sweet smile is? Which high-end field is she fighting in? Friends who are interested, please like and collect it with your hands. This woman is Zhao Huichan, known as the "Goddess of Pear Vortex". After studying abroad, she decisively refused the kindness of the top universities in the United States to stay. She resolutely chose to serve the motherland, which made our country's research and development in the field of robotics shine!
Do my good friends support Zhao Huichan’s move of not envying wealth and loving the motherland? If you express your deep support, please type the words "I support" in the comment area! It is worth noting that during her tenure at Tsinghua University, Zhao Huichan not only vigorously promoted the rapid development of my country's soft robotics field, but also took over the task during the COVID-19 outbreak and led the team to develop the world's first throat swab sampling robot.
She has made breakthrough progress in the field of intelligent prosthetics, thus bringing great gospel to the majority of people with disabilities! Why can Chaohuizhen make many significant contributions? What kind of growth process did she have? In this video, everyone is invited to follow the grassroots pace and learn about the legendary life of scientific research goddess Zhao Huichan.
Going back in time to 1989, a little girl was born in Shandong, a land with profound cultural heritage. She was Zhao Huichan, who later brought honor to her ancestors and brought glory to her country! She was born with cute pear dimples, and her smile was like the spring breeze blowing on her face, making people feel comfortable from the inside out. As Zhao Huichan grew up, she became more and more graceful, her smile was lovable, her words and smiles were alluring! Not only does she have great looks, but she has also gradually revealed her talent for learning. Where do we start talking about this?
Zhao Huichan vividly explained the true meaning of "wisdom" and "Zen". When other children were indulged in laughing and playing, or were unable to leave their parents' care, she would always sit quietly and think about the problem; The young Zhao Huichan likes to build blocks very much. Even if there are noisy sounds outside, it cannot disturb her calm, clear and peaceful inner world. As she gets older, Zhao Huichan's gifted learning ability becomes more and more obvious.
Unlike most children who are worried about their academic performance, Zhao Huichan’s parents never ask about their daughter’s status in school; don’t parents care about their children’s academic excellence? In fact, this is not the case. My daughter ranks first in every exam, and no one can shake her position! What's more, if Zhao Huichan walks into the teacher's office with a book or a test paper, all the teachers will become inexplicably nervous. Why is this?
At that time, the teacher’s most direct reaction was not to teach Zhao Huichan and solve her doubts; instead, he was worried that there might be any mistakes in what he had said before. It can be seen from these small details that Zhao Huichan is really an outstanding talent! When she entered middle school, she began to be exposed to physics knowledge. Like many transcendent geniuses, Zhao Huichan also had a special liking for this course. It seemed that she was deeply attracted to it from the first sight of the physics textbook. Intoxication and decline.
In the process of continuous learning, Zhao Huichan is particularly obsessed with mechanics and electricity! In her eyes, these obscure and complex graphics are like magical keys, leading her to constantly open the door to high-end palaces! As the saying goes: Interest is the best teacher. This is indeed a wise saying that embodies the wisdom of the ancients!
It is precisely because of the fanatical love from the bottom of her heart that prompts Zhao Huichan to continue to explore in depth.
After integrating everything she learned in the books, she greedily studied extracurricular expansion content. Through diligent and persistent exploration, the physics knowledge that Zhao Huichan mastered gradually moved from being solid and solid to being profound and broad.
Zhao Huichan’s entire schooling experience was just like the protagonist in a film and television drama, cheating all the way. So which university does she want to go to? There is no doubt that she naturally chose the top university in the country, Tsinghua University, which most people can only see from a distance and cannot be there in person! Although Zhao Huichan has reached the pinnacle of her studies, she has not stopped making progress at all. She knows very well that there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Tsinghua University, and they are all the best among the best. If she takes it lightly, she will most likely be left far behind.
It is unbelievable that she originally focused on studying in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, but she made an amazing move. What is going on? Zhao Huichan actually focused on economics as her second degree. As you may know, there is no connection between mechanical engineering and economics; if so, why did she choose this way? There is probably only one sentence that can explain it. How can ordinary people in the world of Xue Shen understand it?
It is worth mentioning that although Tsinghua University has a gathering of elites, the courses they take are unusually difficult. Therefore, many students can only barely study one major, and they are afraid that they are not good enough. But Zhao Huichan has the confidence and energy to study two unrelated majors. This reflects from the side that both her learning talent and her level of study are far beyond the normal crowd, and she is even a top student in the eyes of ordinary people!
Has Zhao Huichan’s dream come true? As the saying goes: hard work pays off; at the Tsinghua graduation ceremony, she held a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in her left hand and a bachelor's degree in economics in her right hand. She was the most dazzling presence at the time! At this moment, someone may ask, what exactly was Zhao Huichan studying during her college years?
She became interested in the field of robotics from the moment she entered the Department of Mechanical Engineering; when she learned that various forms of robots could be designed and developed with cutting-edge high-end knowledge, she became increasingly filled with excitement. Excitement and joy! Intelligent robots can not only imitate animals and plants, but also imitate humans to perform various related tasks.
It has to be admitted that although Tsinghua University has performed well in this field, there is still a gap compared with top international universities. In order to learn more detailed and cutting-edge scientific and technological theories, Zhao Huichan set the ambitious goal of studying abroad. Faced with a dazzling array of foreign universities, how should she choose? In fact, Zhao Huichan already has the school of her choice, which is Cornell University in New York State.
As one of the famous members of the "Ivy League", the university's scientific research level is world-leading; since its establishment more than 150 years ago, the university has trained more than 60 Nobel Prize-winning scientists. Winner of the Bell Prize, it is a scientific research mecca that countless students flock to. With her excellent results, Zhao Huichan instantly stood out among the competitors and got her ticket to Cornell University!
She seemed so excited and happy to be in a new learning and living environment on the other side of the ocean; however, Zhao Huichan mainly wanted to improve her own strength and hoped to continue to absorb nutrients in this top campus; striving to enrich and In a busy environment, realize and establish your ideals as soon as possible. Will Zhao Huichan's overseas study journey be as smooth as ever? When she entered the campus, she was deeply attracted by all the new things in front of her.
However, after a period of experience, she fell into unprecedented panic and confusion. Suddenly, this girl who had always had smooth sailing truly realized the heart-wrenching frustration! What problems did Zhao Huichan encounter? Although her oral English performance in China is extremely outstanding, many serious problems were exposed when she was in a pure English context.
First, Zhao Huichan was unable to communicate fluently with the students around her. There were indeed many differences between domestic English teaching and foreign local culture; she could only rely on guessing words to roughly understand the meaning of the other party's words. However, when meeting classmates who speak dialects, the two can only have a simple conversation through body language.
Secondly, due to the obvious language difference, it was even difficult for Zhao Huichan to understand what the professor said in class; just when she was trying to figure out the last knowledge point, the professor's course had already entered the next link. As things went back and forth, Zhao Huichan was deeply shocked; for a certain period of time, she often seemed depressed. All the enthusiasm for deepening the theory of science and technology had been extinguished by the cruel reality! As time continued to pass, Zhao Huichan could never find a way to break through the constraints; under the circumstances of bad emotions and increased pressure in her heart, she gradually lost all enthusiasm for learning, so that she developed a self-destructive attitude.
It seems that these difficult and difficult years cannot be described with words such as muddled and chaotic! Could it be that Zhao Huichan has been defeated by the predicament in front of her? Can she be able to clear away the gloom and restore her reputation as the favored one? If you like this video, please like and follow it. You can also recommend it to more relatives and friends. Let's continue watching!
After sinking for a long time, Zhao Huichan finally woke up; she had traveled among the domestic elites with ease, how could she be defeated by the small difficulties in front of her? She did not allow herself to completely become a bottom student, so she began to work hard to catch up. Zhao Huichan never misses any opportunity to practice speaking, and often immerses herself in listening tapes and related video materials. She also took the initiative to have in-depth exchanges with other students, subtly improving her expression skills.
Whenever there is a class, Zhao Huichan will also record all the content taught by the professor, so that it can be considered and digested in private. This strong and persistent girl has been struggling with various phenomena since then. What does this statement imply? In addition to suffering from missing her relatives and hometown, Zhao Huichan also has to fight to the end with many setbacks and difficulties! Although the pressure of life and study makes Zhao Huichan feel breathless, she still faces everything with an optimistic and positive attitude.
The surrounding classmates and professors looked at this student’s peach-like pear-shaped smile, and it seemed as if the air became sweet and gentle; such a powerful smile was so contagious that everyone around him was inspired! As the years go by, Zhao Huichan has perfectly overcome the language barrier; however, the emergence of an episode further inspired her fighting spirit to continue exploring. What happened during this period?
One day, a poster creative contest was being held on campus, aiming to allow students to present their research topics intuitively and novelly; after a fierce competition, Zhao Huichan actually won the championship! After that, she instantly regained her former self-confidence, and then devoted herself wholeheartedly to scientific research projects. All these deeds reveal a truth: people who love to laugh will definitely have good luck!
A few years passed by in a hurry, Zhao Huichan successfully graduated from Cornell University, and then went to the laboratory alone to continue to work hard. It should be noted that a successful scientific researcher, in addition to excellent professional skills, is also inseparable from a great leader; and Zhao Huichan also met Bole who understood her, who could he be? That's right, the person who discovered the genius girl's talent and sublimated it was the famous professor and mentor Robert.
Dramatically, Zhao Huichan’s scientific research direction was completely different from that of her mentor; however, Robert continued to encourage students to conduct bold research and continue to explore according to their own correct intuition. Not only that, Robert will also provide key guidance and assistance during Zhao Huichan's experiment. How do tutors assist students in their research?
One time, Zhao Huichan was conducting an experiment on sensor materials. After observing this situation, the instructor hit the mark and suggested that she cleverly combine prosthetics with sensing, and then develop a new intelligent prosthesis. This novel and sincere suggestion instantly made Zhao Huichan feel like she had discovered a new world. In fact, deep down in her heart, using advanced technology to benefit mankind is her true ultimate vision.
Has Zhao Huichan completed the scientific research project? Although she already has a solid theoretical foundation, it is not easy to turn the words in the book into physical objects. Deeply inspired, Zhao Huichan put herself in the laboratory after exploring the research direction. After countless days and nights of hard work, she finally successfully developed an intelligent mechanical prosthesis.
It is worth mentioning that this prosthesis is far more practical and intelligent than ordinary prostheses; if patients wear this prosthesis, they can not only feel the hardness of objects, but also touch the structure and texture of things. This trendy prosthetic limb, which is born out of the traditional sense, is undoubtedly a benefit that patients dream of. With the success of the scientific research project, Zhao Huichan condensed the results into an important paper, which was then published in an authoritative international magazine.
Unexpectedly, while this paper caused a huge sensation, it was also selected as one of the most important research articles included in the journal since its establishment. As everyone knows, this journal has always been a benchmark for the world's most cutting-edge scientific research results, and is highly respected and loved by many of the world's top scientists. What thoughts does Zhao Huichan have when she achieves major results? She is still not satisfied with her current results, so she hopes to advance to a higher education institution.
After the tutor Robert learned about this, he immediately wrote a letter to Professor Robert Wood of Harvard University. He said frankly that the best graduate of Cornell University still wanted to climb to the top and hoped that your school could give her a chance! Can Zhao Huichan enter Harvard Hall? The answer is of course yes! After completing her doctoral studies at Cornell, she went to Harvard University to study and then pursued a postdoctoral degree in applied engineering.
There is no need to elaborate on Harvard’s prestigious reputation. From this moment on, Zhao Huichan is about to start the true highlight mode of life. What kind of research will she engage in after entering Harvard? Under the guidance of Professor Wood, Zhao Huichan began research on soft robots!
What is a soft robot? Generally speaking, most of the robots commonly seen on the market are composed of many hard metal parts. The power source of such angular and mechanized robots is motor electricity. It is inevitable that there will be some disadvantages in life and production. , leaving many safety hazards. Soft robots, on the other hand, mainly rely on smart materials such as shape memory compounds and electroelastomers as power, completely getting rid of their dependence on the power system.
While absorbing the advantages of natural creatures, scientists have envisioned many ideal forms such as jellyfish, octopus, and earthworms. What are the uses of soft robots? If a landslide occurs somewhere and rescuers are unable to pass through certain narrow and dangerous areas, this robot can play a huge role and replace humans in the difficult exploration work. Did Zhao Huichan develop a soft robot while she was at Harvard?
She was inspired by flies and other insects and began to try to develop microrobots. Zhao Huichan's research and development idea is roughly as follows. First, simply create a tiny robot, and then install two pairs of wings on its two flanks. However, this kind of wings is also a high-tech material and relies on artificially synthesized muscle tissue. According to the predetermined idea, the robot wings The vibration frequency is about three hundred times.
In order to be closer to the appearance of a real fly, thousands of parts were developed for just a pair of compound eyes; coupled with various components of other parts, the robot manufacturing becomes extremely complex. Since there were no ready-made components and energy power systems, Zhao Huichan could only design and manufacture it herself; with the assistance of Professor Wood, she finally completed the research and development of the microrobot. The finished robot not only looks domineering, but can also change various postures such as flying and turning; it can also complete difficult actions such as stopping and turning in mid-air.
After the success of this experiment, Zhao Huichan combined her experience in developing prostheses and gradually became more and more interested in integrating soft robots with doctors, which can greatly shorten the treatment cycle and reduce pain and suffering for patients. pain. Through unremitting exploration and struggle, Zhao Huichan finally successfully completed her postdoctoral research content. It was this special learning experience that laid the foundation for future scientific research directions.
Zhao Huichan’s outstanding research and development capabilities and meticulous thinking ability have won the admiration of many professors at Harvard. In view of this, the school's senior officials did not hesitate to promise various favorable conditions and only hoped that she could serve them wholeheartedly. Will she accept it happily? Although her future in a U.S. university is unlimited, she loves her homeland even more; no matter how attractive and superior the conditions here are, she can't stop her enthusiasm to return to her country and serve her country!
In 2018, Zhao Huichan returned to her alma mater as a professor with major scientific research achievements and many honors.
A year later, Wuhan was hit by an inexplicable new coronavirus epidemic; it seems that from this time on, nucleic acid testing has become a necessary process to verify health. At that time, many medical staff insisted on taking throat swab sampling regardless of their own safety. You must know that when the new crown epidemic is raging, the life safety of medical staff can no longer be guaranteed.
At this critical moment, Zhao Huichan has high hopes from relevant national departments, hoping that she can develop a soft robot to replace the angel in white. After accepting the major task, Zhao Huichan immediately led the team to invest in research; since this kind of robot did not have any reference materials, they could only conduct research on many aspects such as robot cost, work efficiency, functionality, etc. During repeated experiments and explorations, Zhao Huichan's team There have been confusions and losses; however, when I think of the entrustment of the country and the people, I immediately have the courage and strength to continue fighting.
After eight months of hard work, the world’s first throat swab sampling robot successfully completed the interview. After the birth of the robot, it instantly alleviated the pressure of fighting the epidemic and reduced the risks of fighting the epidemic. After that, Zhao Huichan devoted himself to research on artificial bones and new sensors.
The prosthetic limb she invented that combines a flexible arm with a light guide sensor not only allows patients to have sensory abilities that are no different from ordinary people, but also sells for only more than 300 yuan, which undoubtedly makes high-tech products more popular. It has become a real benefit to the people! In order to mark Zhao Huichan's outstanding contribution to the country and the people, she was awarded the authoritative Green Orange Award; and the recipient of the award next to her was Wei Shen of Peking University, holding a steamed bun in one hand and mineral water in the other!
After receiving a huge bonus of one million, Zhao Huichan did not use it for self-enjoyment. Instead, she did not hesitate to use it to expand the laboratory so that more outstanding talents could use it. Because of patriotic scientists like Zhao Huichan, the motherland will become stronger and more prosperous; their spirit of not being greedy for fame and fortune and focusing on benefiting the people is worth learning and remembering forever!
