Jordan Wilson: 我认为人形机器人和机器人技术是人工智能领域一个非常令人兴奋的进步方向,它们可以改善我们的生活和工作方式,让工作更安全,更令人愉快。 Pras Velagapudi: Agility Robotics 的人形机器人 Digit 主要应用于物流和制造业,它能够在人类空间中移动和工作,无需对现有空间进行任何修改。我们正在构建一个平台,让我们的机器人能够进入人类世界,从事各种工作,从物流和制造业开始,最终扩展到零售业,甚至有一天进入家庭。 过去一年,硬件(如储能和驱动)和软件(人工智能的进步)技术的融合,使得人形机器人平台能够进入现实世界,并执行实际工作。目前,一些人形机器人已经能够在物流和制造业等领域执行实际工作,例如完成8小时的轮班工作。虽然机器人本身可以连续工作,但目前受周围系统(例如人类工人)的限制,只能工作8小时。 参与英伟达的Inception项目为我们提供了技术支持和资源,加速了英伟达技术的应用。我们正在使用 NVIDIA Isaac Lab 训练的策略来实现机器人的全身运动控制,并能够使用全 AI 训练的堆栈来拾取和放置零售杂货。我们还在使用 NVIDIA Mega 平台,该平台支持多个机器人协同工作的分布式工作负载和模拟。 人形机器人是机器人的一种,它们能够在人类环境中工作,无需特殊调整。它们在需要与人类互动或在人类环境中工作的场景中表现出色。人形机器人在仓库中的应用正在增加,并且已经证明其价值。 除了制造业和物流业,人形机器人在零售、医疗等领域也有应用前景。人形机器人的安全问题至关重要,因为它们需要与环境进行物理交互。我们通过独立的监督系统和车载安全系统来确保人形机器人的安全,并最终实现人机协同安全。 我认为人形机器人技术发展迅速,并且已经成为现实,将持续影响未来的工作方式。
