I fall in love with Dachuang
Xu Yi, male, Han nationality, born in November 1999, majoring in intelligent mechanical and electrical system experimental class of Jinggong college, Beijing University of technology, 2018. He has won the following Awards: military training "excellent students", the fourth double swing relay in the 57th University Games, the second prize in the 5th "Aerospace Science and Technology Cup" water rocket design competition, and the second prize in the 16th "Century Cup" student creativity competition (academy special session) of Beijing University of technology.
If I have to say the biggest difference between college and high school in the past year, I will say without hesitation, "you have more free time to go to college." Although learning will take up part of the free time, but it is not all, and I chose to leave the rest of my spare time to college students innovation and entrepreneurship projects.
In fact, my love for science and technology innovation can be traced back to the third grade of primary school, when I had stepped into the stage of science and technology innovation. At that time, I was very interested in robots, and then I joined the robot team in junior high school and senior high school and showed my talent in the competition. Compared with other people, I think my biggest advantage is that I have experienced 6 years of robot training, with better design ideas, some understanding of mechanical principles, and a little understanding of programming. Therefore, when I saw the university students' innovation and entrepreneurship projects, I decided to go further on the road of robot.
In fact, I was listening to the senior and senior sister of the electromechanical Innovation Association at the beginning of the contact. Seeing some projects introduced by them, I was full of yearning. Every time I have a new idea, I usually write it in the memo of my mobile phone, so I open the memo and start looking for the direction of my creative project. Finally, my eyes are focused on how to reconnect the broken wires in the community, so I began to combine the robot with this work, and then I came up with a pair of robots working together in the air, which has the functions of identification, picking up, positioning, docking, welding and envelope.
With this idea in mind, I will record it and show it to my tutor. When I saw that the document had been received, I was extremely excited. First, I was very satisfied with my bold idea. Second, I was full of expectations for the research projects I had carried out since I went to university. After a day, the tutor called: "you come to my office, I don't understand your idea in several places." In fact, after I hung up the phone, I was also very excited. I wanted to show my ideas to the teacher and get the approval of the teacher, so I went to the teacher's office with joy.
The moment I walked into the office building, I suddenly got nervous. After all, I had to face a teacher who had been engaged in scientific research for a long time. Wouldn't it be disgraceful to be beaten back by the teacher? But I thought again: I just want to explain my ideas to my teacher. I have learned robots for so many years, which should not be a big problem! The excitement mixed with nervousness disappeared completely at the moment when the teacher opened the notebook. When I saw that the teacher took a whole page of word document and listed ten questions, my brain was blank, and there were only two words in my heart: finished The fact is just as bad as I was worried. I remember clearly that I can only answer two of the teacher's 10 questions. From the teacher's office out of the moment, I was in a very heavy mood, shaking my head frequently lamented his immaturity.
The teacher said: "Xu Yi, your idea is very novel, but it's not something you can do as an undergraduate. Go back and change the subject." I've always been the kind of person who doesn't give in to difficulties. After hearing the teacher's encouragement, even though my heart broke down at that time, I still forced myself to look forward and readjust the subject to foot bionic robot the next day, and put forward to realize the land, air and water habitat characteristics of robot in freshman, sophomore and junior joint.
With the experience of the first failure, I thought about the feasibility of the project several times after it was modified. After reaching a consensus with the team members, I showed the modified project to the tutor again. About half a day later, when my mobile phone showed that I had received my tutor's wechat call, I was so nervous that I felt numb and thought to myself, "don't be called back this time.". After communicating with the teacher for half an hour, I took a long breath. Finally, the idea was approved by the teacher. Teacher's "come on, come to me whenever you need help!" The moment ignited my motivation.
In this way, after twists and turns, I officially embarked on the road of innovation. The next step I have to do is to write a project application. In my opinion, this project application is not difficult. It's just to show my ideas to the judges in written language. But the reality gave me a loud slap in the face. When I opened the document after the teacher's correction, I was stunned - every page of the document was full of red correction, and even the picture format and annotation were marked with a big fork by the teacher. Seeing this "red" project application, I fell into a breakdown again. I didn't expect that I couldn't write a project application. At that time, I was full of disappointment
However, the professional project application sent to me by my teacher has rekindled my fighting spirit. My team members and I have carefully read the documents sent by my teacher, and indeed see the huge gap between us and others. In this way, the first draft, the second draft Until the sixth draft, our project application gradually changed from "red" to "white". In the end, our revised sixth draft project application has successfully passed the examination and approval of the school.
After the project was approved, we immediately began to invest in the design of robots: first, we drew inspiration from online papers, then adjusted the parameters and details according to the finished products designed by others, and finally we used software to build a virtual model of the formed idea. We also did animation simulation, everything was as smooth as I imagined, my heart was filled with pride and satisfaction, and my mind came up with a picture of the successful production of solid robots.
After all, I used to have the experience of making robots, and I am full of confidence in my design. After several checks, I took the designed model to the teacher for printing. Two weeks later, I came to the group with a box of printed components and directed the final assembly work. Even if "assembly difficulty caused by unreasonable design" occurs in the assembly process, we cooperate with each other and successfully complete the final assembly. Small problems have been solved, but bigger stones have been smashed in front of us. We plan with the strength of alloy when we design, but we never thought that the components we print are all plastic. Just a simple standing action, the robot has a huge deformation. When I hear the sound of several parts breaking, my heart is also broken I even began to doubt that the experience I had accumulated in the past six years was not as strong as that of building blocks for children. It's really one step to the other side of success, but I fell off the cliff, my self-confidence was greatly hit.
I dare not face the reality of failure, and I don't know how to explain After a week in disgrace, my team members came to comfort me. I know I am sorry for them, but the only thing I can do now is to turn the tide and pay for my mistakes with actions. I summoned up my courage to tell my tutor about the failure. I thought my tutor would call me to the office and scold me. But there was a different voice on the other side of the phone: "it's OK, Xu Yi. I think of these situations. Who can come up and succeed? Keep on cheering. The teacher will give you full support! "
After hearing the teacher's comfort, I felt more guilty for my conceit at that time, and at the same time, I firmly believed that I would take my team members forward. On the night I hung up, I held a meeting for you. After admitting the mistake, I readjusted my thinking and formulated a more rigorous research thinking. Then we turned the page of failure and continued to improve the robot. With the experience of the last failure, the second version of the robot designed by us has greatly improved the structural stability, which lays a solid foundation for the follow-up research.
Although my road of great innovation is not very smooth, I did grow up in difficulties, whether it is the richness of knowledge reserve or the maturity of mind. I think the innovation and entrepreneurship project of college students is not only to cultivate a person's ability of science and innovation, but also to enrich my life experience and make me more mature. Even though I have experienced many hardships, I have no regrets to embark on the road of innovation!
