Recently, the humanoid robot company “accelerated evolution” completed tens of millions of yuan angel round financing. This round of financing will be mainly used for product development and mass production and team building.

It is understood that Accelerated Evolution was established this year, committed to the development of more action-capable humanoid robot ontology and easy to develop operations and control development platform.

Cheng Hao, the founder and CEO of the company, graduated from Tsinghua University and studied under Professor Zhao Mingguo. He has studied humanoid robots for many years and has rich research and development experience. Not only that, he is a former byte executive with experience in large-scale production and research team management and complex business commercialization.

The team has the industry’s scarce research and development experience in the field of biped/humanoid, and the members have rich experience in operations control algorithms and humanoid ontology. Based on this, less than three months after the establishment of the company has built a fully self-developed humanoid robot prototype – the use of force control joints, bipedal design, hoping to develop a humanoid robot that is “the most reliable, the most stable, can complete a lot of complex actions, and the accuracy is high enough.”

Humanoid robots, a concept that was still in academic circles a few years ago, have continued to rise in popularity this year, even surpassing the previously popular collaborative robots.

Some say this year is the “year of the humanoid robot.” With the blessing of the large model, people are no longer satisfied with the robot just a “big toy”, but more hope that it can master various skills through self-learning, interact with the surrounding environment in a more natural and intelligent way, complete various tasks, and become a truly conscious intelligent form. It was also after the advent of the big model that people saw the feasibility of achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

To have human intelligence, one must have human body.

Yao Qizhi, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said at the 2023WRC Humanoid Robot Technology and Industry Development Forum that general artificial intelligence relies on embodied entities to interact with the physical world, which can bring greater value. The most suitable “body” for embodied general AI is naturally a humanoid robot. It should have three parts: the “body” composed of sensors and actuators, the “cerebellum” that dominates the perception of vision and touch, and the “brain” that dominates logical reasoning, decision-making, language, etc.

According to Goldman Sachs, the market for humanoid robots could reach $154 billion by 2035. China’s harmonic reducer has achieved the development of “from 0 to 1”, with the major technology companies have increased the layout, under the outbreak wave of humanoid robots, domestic harmonic reducer will usher in a huge industrial opportunity of “from 1 to 10”.

At present, the domestic harmonic reducer industry is developing well. As one of the leading manufacturers of high precision harmonic reducer in China, Raffles Harmonic has been committed to the research and development and application of harmonic reducer technology for many years, and has now achieved full series coverage of four series 11-40 models, which not only occupies an important position in the domestic market, but also has been widely recognized in the international market.
