Implanting AI brain, the era of embodied intelligence is coming! Shanghai Enterprises Release General Humanoid Robot GR-1 | Robot | General

Release time:Apr 14, 2024 02:03 AM

The emergence of ChatGPT showcases the embryonic form of general artificial intelligence to the public. The birth of universal humanoid robots signifies the impending era of embodied intelligence.

At the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference that opened today, Shanghai based enterprise Fourier Intelligence released its self-developed universal humanoid robot GR-1. Through the open robot SDK and software development interface, it invited artificial intelligence and robot development teams from domestic and foreign universities, research institutions, and enterprises to cooperate with it, implanting an AI large model "brain" into GR-1 and endowing it with more functions. "This universal humanoid robot has strong mobility and a well-developed 'cerebellum'. With the AI 'brain', it is expected to achieve embodied intelligence," said Gu Jie, Chairman and CEO of Fourier Intelligence.

Developing universal robots is a corporate dream

GR-1 is black in color, with hands and feet, and a torso configuration close to the human body. It is 1.65 meters tall and weighs 55 kilograms, similar to a slender adult female. It has strong flexibility, with 40 degrees of freedom throughout the body, which means it has 40 electric joints, and the peak torque of the maximum joint module reaches 300 Newton meters.

Sports ability is a strength of GR-1. Its walking speed can reach 5 kilometers per hour and its weight can exceed 50 kilograms. It also has agile obstacle avoidance ability and can walk on uneven and sloping terrain, resisting external impact interference. The reason why it has this ability is because it has a developed "cerebellum" - supported by AI algorithms, it can complete MPC movements.

GR-1 Fast Walk

This humanoid robot adopts electric drive technology and has high motion accuracy. Compared with traditional hydraulic drive technology, electric drive has the advantage of large-scale production and energy consumption.

GR-1 Agile Obstacle Avoidance

When it comes to the origin of developing universal humanoid robots, Gu Jie said that Fourier Intelligence began developing lower limb exoskeleton robots 8 years ago. This type of robot has a bipedal form and is used to assist paralyzed patients in walking. It can be said to be the prototype of a humanoid robot. Four years ago, the company began developing humanoid robots based on this foundation, hoping to shift from the field of specialized robots to the general field. "When we founded Fourier, we chose the specialized field of rehabilitation robots. Nowadays, more than 2000 hospitals and rehabilitation institutions are using Fourier rehabilitation robots, but developing a universal robot suitable for various fields has always been our dream."

By developing rehabilitation robots, the company has accumulated underlying technologies such as sensors, integrated actuators, modular design, and mechanical biomimetic structures, particularly establishing core advantages in actuator technology. With this advantage, the newly born GR-1 has strong athletic ability and is at the leading level in China.

GR-1 completes uphill and downhill walking

Why did Tesla and Fourier transform general-purpose robots into humanoid shapes? Gu Jie told reporters that compared to other forms of robots, humanoid robots are more suitable for human life and work environments. They can directly use various tools invented by humans, and they are more approachable. They are suitable for elderly care and other scenarios, and will bring users a warm feeling.

Enable AI big models to interact with the physical world

When humanoid robots are combined with AI large models, they will give birth to artificial intelligence. The so-called embodied intelligence is the combination of intelligent algorithms with the perception, action, and environmental interaction abilities of robots, enabling them to interact with the surrounding environment in a more natural and intelligent way and complete various tasks.

Recently, Wu Chaohui, vice minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology and academician of the CAS Member, said at the 2023 Zhongguancun Forum that the natural language model represented by ChatGPT is not the final form of the AI model, but more advanced than it is multimodal embodied intelligence. His views are similar to those of NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun, who predicted in a speech this year that the next wave of artificial intelligence will be embodied intelligence.

For this prediction, Gu Jie explained that universal artificial intelligence is currently a research hotspot because after reaching this stage of machine intelligence development, artificial intelligence can do many things like humans, no longer limited to certain specific tasks. The emergence of various AI big models has made us feel the enormous value of universal artificial intelligence. However, scientists and engineers still need to bridge the "last mile" and enable artificial intelligence systems to have a human like body, so that they can interact with the physical world and become "embodied".

Open software development interfaces to co authors

Humanoid robots are the embodiment of universal artificial intelligence. With the development of technology and industry, humanoid robots equipped with AI large models and strong mobility are expected to engage in various tasks, including household services, elderly care, education, medical care, facility inspections, and disaster relief.

GR-1 Response to Impact Interference

Due to their well-developed brains, they can understand various natural language instructions and communicate well with humans; Due to their close proximity to humans, they have a wide field of vision and can use tools, making them a substitute for humans in many scenarios.

GR-1 collaborates with humans to complete actions

Faced with broad application prospects, Fourier Intelligence is the first in China to release the universal humanoid robot GR-1. This is a technology platform that adopts a highly scalable design scheme and opens SDKs and software development interfaces to collaborators. Research teams specializing in artificial intelligence, robotics, and other fields can develop applications and perform algorithm validation on this technology platform, including implanting the AI big model "brain" into GR-1.

In addition to the research team, Fourier Intelligence will also collaborate with other clients to enable humanoid robots to be implemented in some application scenarios as soon as possible. "We hope to ignite a wave of 'robotics+AI' in the next two to three years, drive the development of local industrial chains upstream and downstream, and usher in the era of embodied intelligence." Gu Jie said.

"The college entrance examination is an experience in our lives. Looking back on the preparation for the entire senior year of high school, we cannot help but marvel at the preciousness of time. No matter what difficulties we have gone through, I believe that as long as we persist, it will become my lifelong wealth. Today, after completing the morning foreign language listening and speaking test of the college entrance examination, Xiao Song, a senior student of Lingling High School, came out of the examination center of East China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Middle School. The senior year graduate sitting in a wheelchair said," Although academic and life are not small tests for me, I have faced many difficulties in adversity and have never given up on my dream of taking the college entrance examination. "Xiao Song suffered from congenital muscular dystrophy since childhood and entered Lingling High School in high school." Later, the school provided him with classrooms on low floors and close to the toilet, making it easier for him to enter and exit, allowing him to face his academic life with more confidence. At school, I met many kind and enthusiastic people
