〔記者涂鉅旻/台北報導〕我國持續擴大軍用無人載具發展,專精人工智慧、無人載具的美商Shield AI與我國中科院聯手,月前順利完成3架「勁蜂三型」無人機自主飛行驗證。Shield AI亞洲政府關係總監陳奕儒表示,雙方合作「一拍即合」,進入工程階段後,僅約3個月即完成整合工作。實際運用上,AI飛行員主導細部飛行操作,可讓操作人員集中精力於任務判斷與決策。

中科院與Shield AI今年2月簽署合作備忘錄,雙方於今年8月6日發布訊息表示,3架中科院「勁蜂三型」垂直起降無人機,運用Shield AI的Hivemind技術,已完成協同執行自主偵蒐、起降任務的實飛展示。這次合作的關鍵,就是Shield AI開發的Hivemind人工智慧自主飛行軟體,可視為無人載具的「AI飛行員」。

Shield AI總裁暨共同創辦人曾國光透過書面陳述,提升防衛韌性關鍵,並非單純增加硬體裝備數量。台灣在硬體製造方面已具備相當成熟的能力,但若缺乏自主系統支援,一旦GPS或通訊遭到干擾或中斷,許多現有設備將難以發揮作用,Hivemind已開始導入台灣在地平台,並取得良好進展。中科院的在地工程師已成功在台灣製造的平台上,完成AI飛行員建置,讓台灣能真正掌握自主能力。

陳奕儒受訪表示,Hivemind自主系統可以讓無人機、無人艇在重度電戰干擾、GPS和通訊受限的環境下執行任務。原本多架無人機可能需要多名操作員控制,如今,只需由操作者在基地下達指令,即可實現「一次操控多架」,執行大範圍偵蒐等任務。

針對「勁蜂三型」無人機的實際運用,陳奕儒舉例,3架「勁蜂三型」之中,其中1架可能擔任通訊主機節點,另外2架執行偵蒐任務,即可擴大搜尋面積。如此除可減輕操作者認知負擔,在高壓戰場環境下,也可交由AI主導細部飛行操作,讓操作人員將注意力集中於任務判斷與決策。

談及這次與中科院的合作,陳奕儒以「一拍即合」形容。他表示,中科院軟體工程師能力優異,雙方團隊能合作處理不同無人機的硬體架構、 串接指揮管制(C2)系統、處理情報監偵(ISR)訊號,並將軟體部署至邊緣運算硬體。從軟體模擬測試、硬體迴路測試,到實際飛行測試及公開展演 ,約3個月就完成。

Shield AI另一項Hivemind運用成果,則是與民間無人載具業者雷虎攜手。陳奕儒表示,雙方工程師從電路、硬體迴路著手,將Hivemind導入雷虎無人艇,並於7月底在屏東大鵬灣進行無人艇自主群游等海上展示。

陳奕儒表示,台灣的無人載具產業相當成熟,期盼Shield AI的Hivemind系統有助於國內無人機產業發揮「功能性的加速」作用,同時培養台灣軟體工程師、提升自主研發能力。

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

  • Hivemind系統將進一步導入更多台灣製無人機平台

    Likely · Within months

  • 台灣無人載具產業將受益於功能性加速

    Possible · Within months

Open Questions

  • Hivemind系統在台灣的後續導入時間表是什麼?
  • 此次合作是否會擴展至其他型號無人機或無人艇?
  • 台灣軍方是否計畫採購或裝備此類自主系統?

Apple launches foldable phone iPhone Duo with a screen ratio of √2:1, a professor from National Taiwan Normal University explains mathematical design principles

Apple released its first foldable screen phone iPhone Duo on the 10th, Taiwan time. Lai Yiwei, an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at National Taiwan Normal University, pointed out that the internal and external screen ratio is √2:1. The design was inspired by Lichtenberg’s proportional scaling paper specifications. He emphasized that this ratio can achieve seamless filling of the screen in different forms. It is not an exact value but an engineering compromise.

Shield AI Asia Director: Taiwan is the key to building a non-Chinese drone supply chain

Chen Yiru, director of government relations for Shield AI in Asia, said that Taiwan plays a key role in building a drone supply chain that is not dependent on China. Currently, the proportion of Taiwanese materials in its products has increased from less than 1% two years ago to 16%, and is expected to reach 25%. He also emphasized long-term investment in Taiwan, deepening local cooperation and technology transfer to enhance Taiwan's defense resilience.

Illustrated ads on mobile phone lock screens are easy to accidentally touch, hindering the use of the elderly

A post about mobile phone lock screen illustrations affecting emergency calls sparked heated discussion. The poster later clarified the fact, but the issue raised concerns about the built-in advertising function of the mobile phone system. The reporter found that the lock screen pictures of many mobile phone brands are turned on by default, the exit button is small and difficult to close, and the elderly are easily disturbed by advertisements when using them. In addition to lock screen pictures, advertisements are embedded in multiple locations in the mobile phone system. Regulatory authorities need to regulate mobile phone manufacturers’ behavior of bundling advertisements into the operating system.

Many U.S. states pass data center moratorium bills AI industry development faces obstacles

In the United States, eight states including New York have passed data center moratorium bills due to public concerns about rising electricity prices due to data center power consumption. According to statistics, 75 data center construction plans were blocked in the first quarter of this year, involving a total amount of approximately US$130 billion, which may become a huge obstacle to the rapid development of the AI ​​industry.
