NewsChina: Learning-capable robots set to enter Chinese industries
China - November 04, 2024 Learning-capable robots set to enter Chinese industries (Voice_over) China is exploring wide-ranging applications for Embodied Artificial Intelligence, a technology that integrates AI into physical entities, like robots. Beijing recently issued the first catering business license to an embodied AI robot, paving the way for similar robots to serve food in the capital city. The robot can prepare a variety of cuisines, and according to its developer, EncoSmart Technology, it can learn to create new menus and can adjust supply stocks and efficiency flows based on temperature, customer traffic or other data. Elsewhere, at the National and Local Co-built Embodied Artificial Intelligence Robotics Innovation Center, researchers are working on various robot training scenarios. Like in a supermarket setting, for example, where robots learn how to sort goods. By mimicking a human wearing motion capture technology, the robots can learn a wide range of human actions and movements. (Sound_bite) Xiong Youjun, General manager, National and Local Co-built Embodied Artificial Intelligence Robotics Innovation Center: "In the process, the system actually takes record of very dense and extensive information, including for example, the strength, angle of the joints, the posture of the whole hand, the visual perception information, and the internal decision-making process. Today it is handling mangoes, tomorrow it might be oranges and the day after tomorrow apples. Further down the line it might be a workpiece on the factory assembly line or a household item. The robot will know how to operate them all. This is just like the learning process of a little child. We gave it some rewards or punishments for certain behavior and it will know how to deal with similar scenarios in the future." (Voice_over) In the future, the innovation center plans to build a million-point dataset to create the world's largest embodied artificial intelligence robot data factory, which it will share with the entire industry.
