The Debut of Beijing's Embodied Intelligent Robots at the 2024 World Robot Conference
TapTechNews August 23rd news, at the 2024 World Robot Conference held from August 21st to 25th, the Tiangong robot independently developed by the Beijing Embodied Intelligent Robot Innovation Center made its appearance at the exhibition.
This robot first debuted as early as April this year. It is 163 centimeters tall, has a lightweight weight of 43 kilograms, and can run steadily at a speed of 6 kilometers per hour, achieving the world's first anthropomorphic running of a full-size humanoid robot driven purely by electricity.
After 4 months, Tiangong was upgraded again. Based on the predictive reinforcement imitation learning method of state memory, not only there are more movement patterns, but also under the blessing of the embodied intelligent large model, it has mastered the ability of voice interaction and grasping.
In addition, the Tiangong robot has been upgraded to the 1.2 MAX version, 173 cm in height and 60 kg in weight, and the overall shape is larger.
According to Zhang Qiang, an algorithm expert of humanoid robots at the Innovation Center: After a person issues a voice instruction, the embodied intelligent robot can complete a set of grasping and releasing actions based on the 'open vocabulary object detection and arbitrary item segmentation multimodal model'. Currently, we have opened up the embodied intelligent large model link, which means that the robot can understand human instructions, disassemble related tasks and complete these tasks, and in the future, robots will be able to help humans do more things.
Zhang Qiang also revealed: We are committed to the research and development and ecological construction of key technologies of embodied intelligent robots. Currently, it has landed in Beijing Yizhuang, and will promote technological innovation and industrial development through the two projects of 'Tiangong' and 'Kaiwu', and lead the industry to solve common problems in the industry.
TapTechNews noticed that the simultaneously debuted embodied intelligent service robot Tianyi is 163 cm tall, weighs 72.5 kg, has 16 degrees of freedom, has the ability of omni-directional wheeled movement, and the legs have a lifting function, which can intelligently adapt to the height and state of the service object. Combined with the complete arms and chest large screen, it can realize positioning and navigation, smooth movement, natural conversation and fine arm operation, and can be applied in various scenarios such as reception, guided tours, consultation and question answering, venue introduction, and dance performances.
