“Previously, the motion model of robots was pre-written. Now we are using massive amounts of data to conduct artificial intelligence training on the robots, which has fundamentally changed their motion patterns, especially their flexibility and bionics. So we can see that it is becoming more and more like a real, living thing.”

7. Tilt-up of robot moving forward with the assistance of staff
8. Various of a robotic woman’s face copying expressions of person

“The large models and AI cannot just keep themselves on servers and computers. They need to be delivered to practical scenarios. Currently, the most common scenarios are smartphones and electric vehicles, the biped humanoid robot will be the best next-generation carrier. Therefore everyone is keen on developing embodied intelligence technologies and biped humanoid robots.”
10. Robot using blocks
STORYLINE:
IT CAN WALK ON TWO LEGS, NAVIGATE UP AND DOWN STAIRS AND OVERCOME OBSTACLES.

THIS DOG-LIKE CREATION, A QUADRUPED ROBOT, IS ONE OF JUST DOZENS OF ROBOTS CATCHING THE EYE OF VISITORS AT THE WORLD ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONFERENCE IN SHANGHAI.

IT’S UNDERGONE TRAINING WITH LARGE-SCALE AI MODELS.

THERE ARE ALSO HUMANOID MODELS WITH THE FLEXIBILITY OF A GYMNAST, AND ROBOTS THAT CAN MIRROR HUMAN EXPRESSIONS AND FEELINGS THROUGH COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS. IT’S ALREADY ON SALE ONLINE.
