Recently, Obi in conjunction with well-known technology media light pyramid Intelligence, jointly released the Embodied intelligence in-depth research report “GPT gave birth to the era of embodied intelligent robots – Robot vision ushered in historical opportunities” (hereinafter referred to as the “report”), analyzing the development trend of embodied intelligent robots and robot vision technology. The emergence of GPT has promoted the evolution of AI “brain” and promoted the gradual evolution of robots into embodied intelligent robots. Machine vision will also continue to evolve to robot vision, driving the outbreak of demand for artificial intelligence 3D “eyes”, triggering a new round of tens of billions of industrial revolution.

I ChatGPT gave birth to a new wave of artificial intelligence development, “detached” intelligence gradually evolved to “embodied” intelligence, and embodied intelligent robots will become the ultimate form of artificial intelligence.

The robot will complete the technological change from “stationary”, to “fixed”, and then to “free”, and evolve into a embodied intelligent robot.

Embodied intelligent robots will develop iteratively in the direction of “brain first, perception breakthrough, and body perfection”, bringing about the explosive development of artificial intelligence “eyes”.

I General large model to the direction of multi-modal large model evolution, machine vision to the evolution of robot vision, 3D, highly integrated, adapt to the direction of complex changes in the scene evolution.

I For embodied intelligent robot vision, OBI has carried out a comprehensive technical route layout and technical capability layout focusing on medium and long-term technical development and needs, covering monocular structured light, binocular vision, ToF and LiDAR.

Embodied Intelligence: The ultimate form of artificial intelligence

Embodied AI is an agent that has the ability to sense and understand its environment, interact with the physical world, and have the ability to act to accomplish tasks.

Disembodiment, by contrast, refers to cognitive separation from the body, and ChatGPT, for example, could be considered a form of dissociated intelligence, capable only of understanding and speaking to verbal texts and unable to impact the physical world. However, disembodied intelligence is bound to develop into embodied intelligence, and “unity of knowledge and action” is an inevitable trend.

The report points out that intelligent robots are the most direct landing application of embodied intelligence. With ChatGPT giving birth to a new wave of AI development, embodied intelligent robots will become the ultimate form of artificial intelligence.

Due to its humanization, embodied intelligent robots will gradually replace humans to complete tasks from low to high level, freeing humans from repetitive and tedious work, which will have a profound impact on hundreds of millions of workers and the corresponding trillions of markets.

In specific application scenarios, dozens of traditional robots will also be upgraded to embodied intelligent robots, such as industrial handling, unstacking robots, logistics sorting, packaging, collaborative robots, agricultural picking, sorting robots, medical rehabilitation robots, elderly disabled robots, home service robots, public service robots, education robots and humanoid robots.

The development of embodied intelligent robot has three stages: brain first, perceptual breakthrough, and physical perfection

The development of robots into embodied intelligent robots roughly needs to go through three stages.

On the evolutionary path, the robot will complete the technological change from “immobility” to “fixed mobility” and then to “free mobility” : from the “basic immobility + repeated execution” of the primary robot, it will gradually develop to the intermediate robot with “walking + independent execution”, and finally to the embodied intelligent robot with “autonomous walking + autonomous execution”.
