Cold thinking in a market boom

Behind the rapid development of the industry, there are also many calm voices.

EK52 6ZA963-7  “Humanoid robots are not just a simple transplantation of many existing results in industrial robots, there are many basic theoretical problems that need to be solved.” Xi Ning, a member of the expert committee of the Chinese Humanoid Robot Committee and director of the Robotics Institute of the University of Hong Kong, for example, “Now, many people say that training humanoid robots with large models, and entering a scene end-to-end, will produce a force that allows humanoid robots to control.” But no one ever asks how the robot’s forces are controlled.”

Schining explained that if the input to the mechanical system is a “force” command, and the output is also a “force”, there is no delay between the two, how to control? This is a problem that needs to be solved theoretically. “In order for humanoid robots to really achieve what we want, complete the tasks we assign, and meet our requirements, we must solve basic problems.”

Liu Cong, vice chairman of the Chinese Humanoid Robot 100 Association and vice president of IFlytek, believes that at present, the hardware cost of humanoid robots is too high, limiting its application in various scenarios, and the upstream and downstream industry chain needs to be further improved. In addition, embodied intelligence is not just a simple large model, but also requires the collection of data sets for scale operations, as well as the determination of end-to-end solutions, which need to be explored in the future in conjunction with specific scenarios.

EK52 6ZA963-7  For how to ensure the sustainable development of the robot industry, Huang Xiaoqing, vice chairman of the Chinese Humanoid Robot 100 Association and chairman and CEO of Da Robotics Company, called on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to establish a robot service bureau that can monitor, ensure security and ensure privacy as soon as possible. “Can you imagine robots running around? Can you imagine what would happen if the robot lost control? Therefore, we must establish industry norms and safety norms to ensure the healthy development of the robot industry.”

As the saying goes, “It is difficult to pass the customs, and everything is difficult to become everything.” At present, humanoid robots have become a new track for all parties to compete for the future industry, as well as a hot area for the development of “artificial intelligence +”. With every step humanoid robots take, they can set off a market boom, and their commercialization pace is accelerating in the competition.
