When did humanoid robots enter people's homes

Recently, the artificial intelligence (AI)+robot race has received widespread attention. Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun stated at the developer conference that building a humanoid robot model has become one of the most exciting tracks in the field of AI. On December 29th last year, at the listing ceremony of Ubisoft, the manufacturer of humanoid robots, the CEO of the company and its latest industrial version of the humanoid robot Walker S sounded the opening bell together. Against the backdrop of industrial capital competing for layout and continuous iteration and upgrading of generative AI big model technology, when can humanoid robots enter ordinary people's homes? The birth of humanoid robots can be traced back to the 1970s, accelerating the entry into the intelligent era. In its over 50 years of development, due to high costs and difficulty in commercialization, the attention to humanoid robots has not been high. In 2022, Tesla's "Optimus Optimus" bipedal humanoid robot received widespread attention from capital and the industry chain. In 2023, the general artificial intelligence revolution represented by ChatGPT has led people to shift their focus from focusing more on the motion functions of humanoid robots to truly believing in the future of humanoid robots as embodied intelligence. Looking back on the road, humanoid robots have never lacked pioneers on this long and snowy track. From simple structural driving to joint driving, to highly integrated systems for running, turning, and recognizing specific facial features, to the current stage of high dynamic sports where "autonomous" decision-making functions can be realized, products such as Waseda University WABO, Honda ASIMO, Boston Power Atlas, Tesla Optimus, Xiaomi CyberOne "Iron Big", and Ubisoft Walker S are constantly expanding the boundaries of technology. It is understood that embodied intelligence refers to breaking away from traditional algorithmic models that only process computer virtual information and interacting with the real physical world. You Xiangyu, Senior Researcher at Shenzhen Innovation Investment Research Institute and PhD in Mechanics, believes that humanoid robots are the best carrier of embodied intelligence. Compared to traditional robotic arms and robotic dogs, humanoid robots are not only mobile, but also have a humanoid body shape, which can make interactions closer to humans and have better versatility. You Xiangyu stated that the development of humanoid robot industry technology mainly includes three routes: underlying hardware, motion control, and embodied intelligence. The underlying hardware and motion control are the fundamental technologies of robots, while the embodied intelligence technology equipped with AI large models is the latest product and also the most imaginative place for humanoid robots. CICC believes that universal robots require an organic combination of "intelligence" and "body", and humanoid robots may be the ultimate answer. Humanoid intelligent robots are based on universal algorithms and possess intelligent attributes of autonomous learning, planning, decision-making, and execution through generative artificial intelligence and GPT big language models, making them suitable for multiple scenarios. In the long run, the interaction between humanoid robots and AI forms a flywheel effect, which is expected to accelerate the arrival of the era of embodied intelligence. The coordinated development of the industrial chain is in the exhibition hall of Youbixuan.
