The recently concluded World Humanoid Robot Games showcased the impressive capabilities of various robots, but also featured plenty of amusing incidents.
Notably, the "hit-and-run" incident involving Unitree Technology's H1 robot sparked some discussion and controversy among netizens, raising questions about whether remotely controlled humanoid robots are truly what we want.
Unitree Technology's Wang Xingxing firmly stated, "Next time, we’ll definitely go fully autonomous—it’s not a challenge."
In the field of fully autonomous decision-making and action for general-purpose robots, industry leader Boston Dynamics still harbors grand ambitions.
They believe that for humanoid robots to be truly practical, they must master a wide range of complex abilities. This includes not only dexterously manipulating various objects (regardless of softness, hardness, weight, or size) but also coordinating their entire body to move and avoid obstacles in complex environments while maintaining balance in unexpected situations. The most effective path to achieving this goal is developing general-purpose AI robots capable of handling diverse tasks.
