汉森机器人的David Hanson为该行业破天荒的合作机器人带来了独特的视角。
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The mastermind behind one of the world's most famous robots has joined the team at WorkFar Robotics, a company that offers highly sophisticated humanoid robotic solutions for difficult-to-staff warehouse and manufacturing applications. David Hanson of Hanson Robotics is known for creating Sophia, the world's first robotic entity to be granted citizenship in a country (in this case, Saudi Arabia). Hanson is now WorkFar's Chief Executive Advisor.
2024年9月6日,洛杉矶 / 路透社-这位世界上最著名机器人幕后策划者已经加入了WorkFar Robotics的团队,该公司提供高度复杂的人形机器人解决方案,用于难以找到员工的仓库和制造业应用。由于David Hanson的Hanson Robotics而知名,他创造了索菲娅(Sophia),这是世界上第一个被授予国家公民身份的机器人实体(在这种情况下是沙特阿拉伯)。Hanson现在是WorkFar的首席执行顾问。
Hanson Robotics and WorkFar have already collaborated on WorkFar's new "Syntro" robot, a powerful new product that pairs a humanoid robot equipped with artificial intelligence and a trained, remote human operator wearing virtual reality goggles and haptic/force feedback gloves. This hybrid-intelligent solution allows businesses in the industrial sector to take advantage of the best core logic on the market today — human acumen — while also receiving a robot that can get potentially dangerous tasks done at no risk to their employees.
Hanson Robotics和WorkFar已经合作开发了WorkFar的新产品"Syntro"机器人,该机器人配备人工智能和经过训练的遥控操作员,操作员佩戴虚拟现实眼镜和触觉 / 力反馈手套。这种混合智能解决方案使得工业领域的企业能够充分利用当今市场上最好的核心逻辑-人类的才智-同时还能获得一个可以在无风险的情况下完成潜在危险任务的机器人。
David Hanson's Stellar Track Record in humanizing AI and Robotics
David Hanson在人性化人工智能和机器人方面有着辉煌的记录
Perhaps thanks to a plethora of sci-fi storylines from the last century, the robotics industry — and particularly the humanoid robotics niche — could use a bit of a reputation makeover. With Sophia sparking people's curiosity at events across the globe, it's clear that Hanson knows how to maximize a robot's relatability. In addition to being the world's first robot citizen, Sophia was designated the first robotic Innovation Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
也许多亏了上个世纪大量科幻情节的影响,机器人行业-尤其是人形机器人领域-可能需要重新树立声誉。由于索菲娅在全球各地的活动中引起了人们的好奇,很明显Hanson知道如何最大化机器人的亲和力。除了被授予机器人公民身份,索菲娅还被指定为联合国发展计划(UNDP)的首位机器人创新大使。
Sophia's success stems largely from the meticulous engineering and parents material science behind her highly realistic and expressive face, which can mimic more than 60k human expressions. She orients herself within her surroundings using a combination of computer vision and ROS based Robotics motion control. Open-source Hanson AI allows her to converse naturally with people, while also serving ongoing research into AGI and machine consciousness.
索菲娅的成功很大程度上归功于她高度逼真和富有表现力的面部的精致工程和先进材料科学,可以模仿超过6万种人类表情。她使用计算机视觉和基于ROS的机器人运动控制在她的环境中定位自己。开源的Hanson AI使她能够与人自然对话,同时也为人工通用智能(AGI)和机器意识的持续研究服务。
Hanson didn't build Sophia simply to wow the public. His vision is for her to be a platform to inspire discussions around the ethics of AI-enhanced humanoid robots and how humans can interact with them in productive and meaningful ways. Sophia's lifelike design and natural-seeming expressiveness is paramount in this effort — people can get a clearer window into the future and start to understand what conversing with the robots of the next decade or so will feel like.
汉森制造Sophia并不仅仅是为了让公众惊叹。他的愿景是让Sophia成为一个平台,激发对于AI增强型人形机器人伦理以及人类如何以富有成效和有意义的方式与其互动的讨论。Sophia逼真的设计和自然的表现力在这一努力中至关重要—人们可以更清晰地窥视未来,并开始理解与下一个十年左右的机器人对话会是什么样子。
Hanson and WorkFar are currently hatching a plan to send Sophia on the greatest adventure yet— a trip to Mars. Off-limits to any individual made of flesh and blood, the Red Planet will nonetheless be able to welcome a citizen of Earth (just not a human citizen). Perhaps within a few decades, humans will be able to follow in Sophia's footsteps. The future is shaped by people and organizations who dream big, and both WorkFar and Hanson have shown themselves capable of making meaningful contributions to a futuristic world.
汉森和WorkFar目前正在筹划一个前所未有的冒险计划—将Sophia送往火星。对肉和血构成的个体来说是禁地,但这颗红色星球将能够欢迎地球的公民(只是没有人类公民)。也许在几十年内,人类将能够追随Sophia的脚步。未来由那些梦想远大的人和组织塑造,WorkFar和汉森都已经显示出他们有能力为一个未来主义的世界做出有意义的贡献。
Human-robot Interaction is at the Core of the Future of Robotics — and WorkFar's Vision
人机交互是机器人未来的核心—也是WorkFar的愿景
Much ado has been made about "robots taking away jobs," but the reality is much more complex — and much more dependent on the continued participation of humans across all industries. Certainly, robotics can free people up from repetitive tasks and make it unnecessary for a human worker to enter a hazardous environment to do a job, but human ingenuity is, and will remain, vital. Some of the most impactful robotic solutions are those that have humans and robots working in tandem.
关于"机器人夺走工作岗位"的争议很大,但事实要复杂得多—并且在很大程度上依赖于人类在所有行业中的持续参与。当然,机器人可以让人们从重复的任务中解脱出来,使得人类工作者不必进入危险的环境来完成工作,但人类的创造力是,而且将始终是至关重要的。一些最有影响力的机器人解决方案是那些人机合作的解决方案。
Enhancing human-robot collaboration is central to the mission of WorkFar, which describes itself as "the collaborative robot company". WorkFar's robots are not designed as standalone, people-free solutions in any way. Since the robots are paired with a trained human operator working from a remote location, the WorkFar solution fuses robotic task automation with high- level decision-making capability. This makes it much more flexible than a simple collaborative robotic arm or an autonomous mobile robotic fleet.
增强人机协作是WorkFar使命的核心,该公司自称为"协作机器人公司"。WorkFar的机器人并不是设计为独立的、无人操作的解决方案。由于机器人与远程位置的训练有素的人类运营商配对,WorkFar的解决方案将机器人任务自动化与高级决策能力融为一体。这使其比简单的协作机器人手臂或自主移动机器人群更加灵活。
Even as artificial intelligence advances, robotic solutions will still need to answer to the decision- making and problem-solving power of humanity. Robotic technologies that evolve alongside people are the ones that are best poised to capture market share over the long term. With the designer behind the world's first robot citizen in a key advisory capacity, WorkFar is proving its relevance as a key player within not just the robotics industry, but the world as a whole.
随着人工智能的进步,机器人解决方案仍需要回答人类的决策和问题解决能力。与人类共同发展的机器人技术是最有潜力在长期内占领市场份额的技术。拥有世界上第一个机器人公民背后设计师的关键咨询能力,WorkFar正在证明其作为机器人行业,乃至整个世界的关键参与者的相关性。
