00:00So let's talk about robots, specifically humanoid robots powered by AI, and explore all the exciting
00:10developments that were showcased at the 2024 World Robot Conference in Beijing. And trust me,
00:15there is a lot to unpack from this event. We're talking game-changing innovations,
00:20cutting-edge technology, and the latest in AI advancements. So let's get into it.
00:25Alright, so first, let's set the stage. The World Robot Conference is kind of a big deal in the tech
00:31world. Think of it as the Oscars for robotics. It takes place every year in Beijing, and it's where
00:36the latest and greatest in robotic technology is put on display. This year, the conference was bigger
00:41and better than ever, attracting 169 exhibitors from all over the globe, showing off more than 600
00:48innovative products. And here's the kicker. There were a record-high 27 humanoid robots featured this
00:55year. Yeah, humanoid robots are becoming a major focal point in the robotics field, and the hype
00:59is real. So why all the buzz around humanoid robots? Well, there's a growing interest in how AI can be
01:05integrated into robots that look and move like humans. These aren't standard robots that you might
01:10see in factories. These are androids designed to interact with us in a more natural, human-like way.
01:16The idea is that these robots could eventually perform tasks just like, or even better than,
01:22humans. And it's not just about replacing humans, it's about collaborating with us, especially in
01:27environments that are dangerous or require heavy labor. A great example from the conference is the
01:32Unitree G1. This is a two-legged humanoid robot standing about 1.3 meters tall and weighing around 35
01:39kilograms. It's sleek, it looks futuristic, and it's packed with some pretty advanced tech. The Unitree G1 can
01:46move at a speed of 2 meters per second and has advanced three-finger force control hands, which means it can handle
01:51objects delicately and precisely. It's also got a maximum knee-joint torque of 120 Nm, so it's pretty
01:59strong for its size. What really sets the Unitree G1 apart is its robot unified large model, which is a
02:05fancy way of saying that it has a robust AI system that allows it to learn and refine its skills
02:11continuously. This model was launched this year, and it's already making waves. Priced at around 99,000
02:17yuan, or about 13,874 US dollars, it's actually quite affordable considering its advanced capabilities.
02:23According to Huang Jiao Wei, the marketing director at Unitree, this robot isn't just designed to look
02:29impressive, it's built to be highly functional in a variety of practical applications. That's why it's
02:34already being adopted by numerous labs and companies. Now, at the conference, Shenzhen-based
02:39Ubitech Robotics showed off some of their robots that are currently deployed on automotive production lines.
02:44These robots aren't just for show, they are doing real work — intelligent transportation,
02:50quality inspection, and even handling chemicals. It's a big step forward for the large-scale
02:55application of humanoid robots in manufacturing. According to Greg Gee, the lead on Ubitech's
03:01humanoid robot motion control algorithm team, their robots currently operate at about 20% of human
03:07efficiency. Now, that might not sound super impressive at first, but here's the thing. They expect to reach
03:12nearly 100% efficiency within the next one to two years. And remember, robots can work 24-7 without
03:18breaks. This means their overall efficiency could soon surpass that of human workers. The integration of
03:23AI models has accelerated the development of humanoid robots. As Gee mentioned, we're looking at a future
03:29where robots and humans are going to be working side by side more often, especially in environments that are risky
03:36or involve heavy-duty tasks — essentially robots that can help you with heavy lifting or perform tasks
03:41that are too dangerous for humans. That's the direction we're heading in, and it's pretty exciting.
03:46Another standout from the conference was the Tiangong, an embodied AI robot. Now, what do they mean by
03:53embodied AI? Simply put, it's AI with a physical form — an AI that doesn't just exist in the cloud or on a server
04:00somewhere but is integrated into a robot that can interact with the physical world. The Tiangong was
04:06a big hit at the event because it showcased some pretty advanced capabilities. It could engage in
04:11conversations, respond to voice commands, and even grasp and place objects in designated spots.
04:17Qi Jipping, the team leader from the Beijing Embodied Artificial Intelligence Robotics Innovation Center,
04:22explained that embodied AI helps bridge the gap between the digital and physical worlds.
04:27Just think about it — an AI that can move around on its own and interact intelligently with its
04:32surroundings opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. Imagine heading to a concert,
04:37and a humanoid robot guides you to your seat, fetches your favorite snack, or even helps you navigate
04:42through the crowd. That's the kind of future embodied AI is aiming for, and the Tiangong robot is a big step
04:47in making that vision a reality. Other impressive presentations at the 2024 World Robot Conference in
04:53Beijing included a Tencent's four-legged robot dog. Now, if you've ever seen a robot dog before,
04:59you might think, okay, big deal. But this one's on a whole different level. It doesn't just walk. It can
05:05run, jump, and even perform backward somersaults. It's super agile and could go places a human or even a
05:11regular robot couldn't reach. Then we got Alibaba's new logistics robot. Now logistics might not sound super
05:17exciting at first, but this robot is designed for last mile delivery, which is a huge challenge in
05:23the e-commerce world. It's like your own little autonomous delivery guy that can navigate complex
05:28urban environments without any human intervention. Then there was a robot that totally captivated the
05:35audience — a robot that can play the Chinese dulcimer. And not just playing like a simple tune,
05:40it learned to play this complex instrument in just two to three days, which is insane. This kind of skill
05:46acquisition shows just how far AI learning has come.
05:55Next up, we've got a robot that really blurs the lines between human and machine — a humanoid robot
06:00that mimics human facial expressions in real time. It's designed to look like a young man and can
06:05perfectly replicate its partner's facial expressions. Now, we can't forget about the medical sector. There
06:10were several presentations featuring advanced medical robots that are designed for surgical
06:15precision. Using AI to assist with surgeries can greatly reduce the margin for human error and
06:21improve outcomes for patients. Agriculture also got some love at the conference with robots designed
06:26for the field — literally. These agricultural robots are capable of tasks like planting, weeding,
06:32and harvesting, which could majorly cut down labor costs and boost efficiency on farms. We're talking about
06:38robots that could help address food security by optimizing farming processes. Now, this next one's pretty
06:44interesting. Wissen Technology showed off their innovative, pliable robotic arms. Instead of the usual motors,
06:50these arms use 3D-printed plastics and pneumatic artificial muscles, making them way cheaper to produce,
06:56like one-tenth the cost of traditional robotic arms. This could make high-quality robotic tech accessible to
07:01a lot more industries. And then there's the Walker S Light Robot from UBTECH Robotics. This one's an industrial
07:07humanoid robot that's already at work in car factories. It's helping with everything from
07:12quality testing to sorting parts, working right alongside human workers to improve efficiency on
07:17the production line. And lastly, we saw the debut of the Robot Blue Book, an extensive report that dives
07:24deep into the Chinese robotics industry and its potential. It's kind of like a roadmap for the future of
07:28robotics, outlining development trends and opportunities. For anyone interested in the business side of
07:33robotics, this is a must-read. Now, while there are some incredible advancements, there are still
07:38challenges to overcome in the robotics industry. For instance, at the conference, Yigang, founder of
07:43Shanghai-based T5 Robot, highlighted some of the problems in the current robotics supply chain.
07:48Product reliability is actually one of the biggest issues. Due to high defect rates, companies like his
07:53can only produce up to 1,000 units at a time. And let's not forget about the key components like harmonic gears,
07:59which are crucial for motion control in robots, but still face quality and reliability issues.
08:04Also, Wisun Technology, another player in the robotics field, is doing something pretty unique.
08:09They're using 3D-printed plastics and pneumatic artificial muscles instead of the traditional motors
08:14and reducers for their robotic arms. This makes their robots much cheaper to produce, about one-tenth the
08:20cost of traditional robotic arms, which could be a game-changer for affordability in the industry.
08:25According to Chao Wei from Lanxi Ventures, who has invested in Wisun, these pliable robotic arms could
08:31potentially be used in humanoid robots in the future. But in any case, China is pushing hard to
08:36become a global leader in this field. As mentioned by Marina Bill, president of the International
08:41Federation of Robotics, China's manufacturing capabilities and supply chain strength are really
08:46tough to match, even for some of the most developed countries. There's also a big focus on developing new
08:52productive forces in technology. As Premier Li Qiang highlighted, the robot industry has broad prospects
09:00and massive market potential. The government is calling for efforts to promote the expansion and
09:05popularization of robots across various fields, industry, agriculture, and even services. Essentially,
09:11AI has ushered in the iPhone moment for humanoid robots. Think about it. Just like the iPhone
09:16revolutionized the smartphone industry, AI is set to revolutionize robotics. We're getting closer than ever to
09:22making the dream of fully integrated humanoid robots a reality. The plan is to establish a production
09:27capacity of over 10,000 embodied AI robots by the end of 2026, according to Kong Lei from the Beijing
09:34Economic Technological Development Area Administrative Committee. That's a pretty ambitious goal, but
09:38given the rapid pace of development we're seeing, it seems totally possible. Alright, if you found this
