Chinese robotics company Unitree has shared a video featuring its humanoid robot doing kung fu moves. The bot’s balance capabilities and range of movement have been upgraded, the firm said.

中國機器人公司 Unitree 分享了一段視頻,展示其人形機器人做出功夫的動作。該公司表示,機器人的平衡能力和運動范圍已得到升級。

Humanoid robots are made to resemble and act like humans, imitating facial expressions, movements, and speech.

類人機器人被制造得像人類一樣,模仿面部表情、動作和語言。

The video teaser published by the Hangzhou-based company earlier this week shows the human-like robot walking down the street while performing various martial arts strikes and kicking techniques. Unitree stated that the latest algorithm upgrade allows its G1 humanoid robot to “l(fā)earn and perform virtually any movement.”

本周早些時候,這家位于杭州的公司發(fā)布的視頻預(yù)告顯示,這款類人機器人在街上行走,同時進行各種武術(shù)攻擊和踢擊技巧。Unitree 表示,最新的算法升級使其 G1 類人機器人能夠“學(xué)習(xí)和執(zhí)行幾乎任何動作?!?/b>

As per the company’s website, the $16,000 G1 humanoid robot, which debuted in August 2023, features powered joints on its arms, legs, and torso that allow 23 degrees of freedom.

根據(jù)公司網(wǎng)站,售價 16,000 美元的 G1 人形機器人于 2023 年 8 月首次亮相,具有動力關(guān)節(jié),能夠在其手臂、腿部和軀干上實現(xiàn) 23 個自由度。

Earlier this month, Unitree unveiled video footage of its humanoid G1 and H1 androids showing off new moves. G1, a more affordable version of the robot, was shown running, navigating uneven terrain, and walking in a more natural way. The taller H1 model performed a preset routine alongside human dancers at the Spring Festival Gala event marking the Chinese New Year.

本月早些時候,Unitree 發(fā)布了其人形機器人 G1 和 H1 的新動作視頻。G1 是該機器人的更實惠版本,展示了其奔跑、在不平坦地形上行走以及以更自然的方式行走的能力。更高的 H1 型號在春節(jié)聯(lián)歡晚會上與人類舞者一起表演了預(yù)設(shè)的節(jié)目,慶祝中國新年。

A number of companies – including Japan’s Honda, Hyundai Motor’s Boston Dynamics, and Agility Robotics – have been betting on humanoid robots to meet potential labor shortages in certain industries by performing repetitive tasks that may be seen as dangerous or tedious. Tesla, Meta, and OpenAI have recently joined the trend.

一些公司——包括日本的本田、現(xiàn)代汽車的波士頓動力和 Agility Robotics——正在押注人形機器人,以應(yīng)對某些行業(yè)可能出現(xiàn)的勞動力短缺,通過執(zhí)行可能被視為危險或乏味的重復(fù)任務(wù)。特斯拉、Meta 和 OpenAI 最近也加入了這一趨勢。

Earlier this month, Bloomberg cited sources as stating that Meta Platforms is planning to invest into futuristic robots that can act like humans and assist with physical tasks. The company is reportedly forming a new team within its Reality Labs hardware division to conduct the work.

本月早些時候,彭博社援引消息來源稱,Meta Platforms 計劃投資于能夠像人類一樣行動并協(xié)助完成體力任務(wù)的未來機器人。據(jù)報道該公司正在其 Reality Labs 硬件部門組建一個新團隊來進行這項工作。

Last December, media reports emerged that OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is seeking to develop its own android. Last year, electric-vehicle producer Tesla announced plans to introduce humanoid robots for internal purposes starting in 2025, with plans for broader production by the following year.

去年十二月,媒體報道出現(xiàn),OpenAI,即 ChatGPT 的創(chuàng)造者,正在尋求開發(fā)自己的人形機器人。去年,電動車制造商特斯拉宣布計劃從 2025 年開始推出用于內(nèi)部目的的人形機器人,并計劃在接下來的年份進行更廣泛的生產(chǎn)。
