CCTV News: Let’s learn about the highly-watched humanoid robots. Data and algorithms are the key to the continuous "evolution" of humanoid robots. From the most basic thing to stand up quickly after falling down to entering various application scenarios such as home and retail, behind every iteration and upgrade of humanoid robots is continuous breakthroughs in technology.
The cold control technology of robots standing up and standing has always been many problems. This is a Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Recently, an algorithm technology jointly released by several institutions such as the laboratory, Shanghai Jiaotong University, etc., can enable humanoid robots to stand quickly and stably from various states.
Imitating humans to "learn from the same thing" is the only way for robots to learn skills.
Ben Qingwei, a doctoral student from Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, said: "It can enable a single operator to control the upper and lower body of a humanoid robot at the same time, improving the efficiency of our data acquisition."
This is the data acquisition center of a humanoid robot company. Within an area of 2,000 square meters, there are 100 humanoid robots doing various trainings. At present, the training ground has opened source of more than 1 million pieces of training data.
Data is the key to training large models, but large-scale training of humanoid robots is a considerable cost for a single enterprise. Recently, the first heterogeneous humanoid robot training ground in China was opened in Shanghai. The training ground has gathered more than 100 humanoid robots of different brands and structures from 11 companies, which will effectively solve the problem of duplicate infrastructure construction.
General manager of the National and Local Co-construction Humanoid Robot Innovation Center said: "Humanoid Robots now lack such a top-level training architecture, so we now build and open up the architecture through the construction of training grounds, and provide a basic base and common technology reference and support for humanoid robots across the country."
The real world of human life is all-encompassing, and building tens of thousands of real places is time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, building a virtual world where tables, chairs and characters can be edited at will, connecting the virtual reality and allowing robots to enter the virtual platform for training can greatly reduce costs.
