Do you still remember the yangko-dance robot that appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage this year? Humanoid robots are not only actors, but are also integrating into more production and life. At the beginning of the New Year, advanced manufacturing industry represented by humanoid robots is accelerating and seizing the initiative in the new track.

At present, many domestic humanoid robots can not only dance, but have also entered the factory for training. Industrial manufacturing, commercial services and family companionship are the three major application scenarios of humanoid robots.

In this factory in Suzhou, Jiangsu, humanoid robot helpers have already started to work. They can carry up to 40 kilograms of things by picking up and placing parts, checking product quality, scanning codes to store and moving materials.

The reason why humanoid robots can complete these tasks requires rigorous training and learning.

In Zhangjiang, Shanghai, there is such a special "technical school". This is the first heterogeneous humanoid robot training ground in the country, and more than 100 humanoid robots are being trained here.

CCTV reporter Gao Yuan:

I am now building a humanoid robot innovation center in the country and land located in Shanghai. Some of the robots behind me are practicing Tai Chi, while others are learning to walk. These are not fancy styles. Just like humans, humanoid robots first learn to walk and control limbs before they can perform more complex homework.

Experts introduced that the training of humanoid robots can also be said to be practiced to make perfect.

The more data input and the number of trainings, the higher the intelligence and stronger the ability of the robot.

Not only for training in industrial scenarios, there is also a robot football training ground here. Staff told reporters that the robots had just won the championship in the Robot World Cup. In fact, training robots to play football is to continuously iterate their motion control, visual perception, intelligent strategy and other technologies to improve their motor ability, reaction ability, and intelligent ability. In the future, there will be broad application scenarios in the fields of medical care and health care.

Wang Tao, director of the Office of Industry-university-research Cooperation at the School of Computer Science and Technology of Peking University and secretary-general of the Beijing Computer Society:

With the maturity of technology, humanoid robots will have more application in some specific service scenarios, such as factory automatic assembly, power inspection or high-risk working environments. In the long run, humanoid robots will be widely used in personal consumption fields such as family care, parenting, and housework. Our lives will be full of intelligent humanoid robots, which can make up for the labor shortage in some scenarios.

In 2023, the "Guiding Opinions on the Innovation and Development of Humanoid Robots" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology proposed that by 2025, my country's humanoid robot innovation system will be initially established. By 2027, the innovation capabilities of humanoid robot technology will be significantly improved, an industrial ecosystem with international competitiveness will be built, and the comprehensive strength will reach the world's advanced level.

Smart life is constantly moving from science fiction to reality

It is not just humanoid robots, but at present, various intelligent robots are changing lives. Data shows that as of the end of December 2024, there were 451,700 intelligent robot industry enterprises nationwide, with a total registered capital of 6444.557 billion yuan. Smart life is constantly moving from science fiction to reality.

The drone you see now is also called an open-ground dual-purpose robot. It was newly developed by the Harbin Institute of Technology's Aerospace Science and Technology University, and it is only 300 grams in size, which is equivalent to the weight of an apple. Not only does it roll easily on the ground, it can also take off at any time and cross obstacles. It has multiple forms such as double wheels or spherical shapes, which can adapt to different environments and terrain.
