Humanoid Robot Race Sprints Forward, WiMi Accelerates Core Technology Development

For now, AI, represented by big models, is causing so many qualitative changes in 2024 that almost every industry is thinking about how it can be used to reshape the flow of technology and tap into unknown possibilities, and humanoid robots are no exception.

Undoubtedly, humanoid robots are regarded by the industry as the “next wave” of artificial intelligence, as the culmination of the artificial intelligence industry. It integrates advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, high-end manufacturing, and new materials, and is expected to play an important role in the fields of healthcare, education, and services.

From a technical perspective, a major pain point in the development of humanoid robots is the lack of matching between their movement capabilities and the actual use of application scenarios, while the development of artificial intelligence large model technology such as ChatGPT will enable the robot to obtain a leapfrog improvement in the level of intelligence, which mainly includes the enhancement of human-computer interaction, autonomous learning and decision-making capabilities, perception and behaviour is expected to form a closed loop.

What’s more interesting is that 2024 – in the tone of many brokerage research reports and industry insiders – is directly defined as the ‘Year of Humanoid Robots’. According to the forecast, it is expected that the global penetration rate of humanoid robots in service robots is expected to reach 3.5% by 2026, and the global market size is expected to exceed $20 billion by 2030.

Recently, WiMi joined hands with MicroAlgo to set up the Microconsciousness Quantum Science Research Center, bringing together the world’s top wisdom talents, through interdisciplinary integration, combined with cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology, to achieve technological breakthroughs in hardware and software, pioneering research and the relationship between humanoid robots to achieve the full-stack technology framework capabilities, accelerating the realization of the process of maturation of the embodied intelligence of humanoid robots, and promoting humanoid robots to step into a more intelligent, virtual and humanoid robot. Step into a more intelligent, virtual and efficient new era.

WiMi has the confidence and patience to continue to push forward the relevant research in response to the unprecedented investment enthusiasm in the field of embodied intelligent humanoid robots. In the future, when the humanoid robot ushers in the “ChatGPT moment”, WiMi will continue to work with more partners in the industry to further explore the large-scale application of humanoid robots in multiple scenarios until it crosses the real technology cycle, and jointly promote the innovation and development of robotics technology.

Currently, AI big models and humanoid robots are rapidly combining to make humanoid robots smarter. The visual understanding and language communication ability of the big model is gradually maturing, the operation research of the robot has achieved a certain degree of generalizability, and technology iteration, process innovation, etc. are expected to promote the cost reduction of humanoid robots, creating a more convenient, safer, and more efficient future life for society. The accelerated evolution of humanoid robotics technology has become a new high ground for scientific and technological competition, and it can be said that the commercialization of humanoid robots with body intelligence is close at hand.
