April 21, 2011 - According to a report from CNN yesterday, the SkyWorks team, the BeijingHumanoid RobotInnovation Center CTO Tang Jian said in an interview that with the large-scale landing of humanoid robots, their price will be the same as that of aEntry-level minivanAlmost. "Tiangong 2.0 robots will go on sale soon, and will realize small batch mass production and application."
On April 19th, Team Tiangong's "Tiangong Ultra" robot was presented at a conference held in Yizhuang, Beijing.The world's first humanoid robot half marathonHe won the race with a time of 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds.
Bao Minghan, head of the testing and quality department of the Tiangong team and Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, also said that humanoid robotsOnly with a certain level of reliabilityOnly after that can it be engineered to land in mass production. This time, having a humanoid robot compete in a marathon couldTest the reliability of the whole machineAnd reliability is the basis for the robot to land in mass production.
With a height of 1.8 meters and a weight of 55kg, "Tiangong Ultra" belongs to the "big and tall" players in the participating teams, so the impact of its joints also faces challenges. According to Bao Minghan, in order to ensure the coordination of the robot's whole body, the Tiangong team needs to invest more in technology optimization and enhancement in order to overcome the related technical problems. In terms of the robot's balance and gait planning, the team also made improvements to the motion control algorithms so that it can run more stably and flexibly, thus better adapting to the complex outdoor environment.
Robots need both stability and the "intelligence" to win a marathon. "Tiangong Ultra is equipped with an "intelligent brain" so that the robot can accomplish the followingAdjusting speed, planning paths, controlling distance from people, and avoiding obstacles on your ownand other operations.
As 1AI previously reported, "Tiangong Ultra" won the world's first humanoid robot half-marathon. The 1.2-meter tall Songyan Power N2 Little Naughty Boys team won the second place, and the Walker II robotics team from Shanghai won the third place.
