CCTV News: Do you still remember the yangko-dance robot that appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage this year? Since the beginning of this year, advanced manufacturing industry represented by humanoid robots has joined the explosive period of rapid development. What is a humanoid robot? Besides dancing, where can humanoid robots be used and what can they do? Let's go to various places to take a look.

The three major application scenarios of humanoid robots: industrial manufacturing, commercial services, and family companionship

At present, many domestic humanoid robots can not only dance, but have also entered factory training. Industrial manufacturing, commercial services and family companionship are the three major application scenarios of humanoid robots.

In a factory in Suzhou, Jiangsu, the humanoid robot helper has already started to work. They can carry up to 40 kilograms of things by picking up and placing parts, checking product quality, scanning codes to store and moving materials. The reason why humanoid robots can complete these tasks requires rigorous training and learning.

Experts introduced that the training of humanoid robots can also be said to be "practice makes perfect". The more data input and the number of trainings are, the higher the intelligence and stronger the ability of the robot.

The application scenarios of humanoid robots in the future will be broader

Not only for industrial scenario training, there is also a robot football training ground here. Staff told reporters that the robots had just won the championship in the Robot World Cup. In fact, training robots to play football is to continuously iterate their motion control, visual perception, intelligent strategy and other technologies to improve their motor ability, reaction ability, and intelligent ability. In the future, there will be broad application scenarios in the fields of medical care and health care.

The number of intelligent robot industry enterprises in China exceeds 450,000

It is not just humanoid robots. At present, various intelligent robots are entering thousands of households. Data shows that as of the end of December 2024, there were 451,700 intelligent robot industry enterprises nationwide, with a total registered capital of 6444.557 billion yuan.

The latest open-ground dual-purpose robot developed by Harbin Institute of Technology and Astronautics is only 300 grams in size, which is equivalent to the weight of an apple. Not only does it roll easily on the ground, it can also take off at any time and cross obstacles. It has multiple forms such as double wheels or spherical shapes, which can adapt to different environments and terrain.

The world's fastest four-legged robot "Black Panther" launched by Zhejiang University Hangzhou International Science and Technology Innovation Center, with an overall weight of 38 kilograms and a standing height of 0.63 meters. It can run steadily for speeds of over 10 meters per second. This speed breaks the world record of four-legged robots and is also close to the limit of human movement.

An exoskeleton robot produced by a technology company in Hangzhou can help people with disabilities in rehabilitation training. Through the reading of sensors, the mechanical bone movement can be driven, and people with disabilities can walk. Some time ago, Taishan Scenic Area launched the service of "Robot Helps Tourists Climbing Mountain". This robot uses advanced ergonomic design and core technologies such as power, electronics and AI algorithms to perceive every movement trend of the wearer's lower limbs, helping the elderly and poor physical tourists to better experience the fun of climbing.
