宇树科技正在构建一套让其人形机器人自我改进的系统,创始人王兴兴周四表示。他将其称为“宇树复排”。据《南华早报》记者闵晓畅报道,王兴兴将其定为公司今年最重要的项目。王兴兴在宇树于杭州主办的一场实体人工智能大会上发表了上述言论。
Unitree Robotics is building a system that lets its humanoid robots improve themselves, founder Wang Xingxing said on Thursday. He calls it Unitree Rehearsal. He named it the company’s most important project of the year, Minxiao Chang reported for the South China Morning Post. Wang spoke at a physical AI conference that Unitree hosted in Hangzhou.
据《南华早报》报道,根据该计划,AI将搜索研究论文、编写代码并在仿真环境中测试,随后再在真实机器人上进行试验。彭博社报道称,宇树已经采用这种方式使用AI,并收集真实测试的反馈来调整其模型。
Under the plan, AI would search research papers, write code and test it in simulation before trials on real robots, according to the SCMP. Unitree already uses AI this way and then collects feedback from real tests to adjust its models, Bloomberg reported.
最快2028年实现突破 王兴兴还将时间表提前。据彭博社报道,他现在预计人形机器人最快将在2028年能完成80%由语音指令设定的任务。据宇树与彭博社共享的一份记录稿,这涵盖工厂或家庭中的工作。王兴兴称这一节点为实用机器人的“顿悟”时刻。《The Next Web》(TNW)未见该记录稿。
A breakthrough as soon as 2028 Wang also moved his timeline forward. He now expects humanoids to complete 80% of tasks set by voice as soon as 2028, Bloomberg reported. That covers work in factories or homes, according to a transcript Unitree shared with Bloomberg. Wang calls that point the “aha” moment for practical robots. TNW has not seen the transcript.
8月,在北京举行的世界机器人大会上,王兴兴表示机器人正逼近“ChatGPT时刻”。据彭博社报道,他在同一活动上表示,机器人在工厂和家庭大规模应用可能需要10年。
In August, at the World Robot Conference in Beijing, Wang said robots were nearing a “ChatGPT moment”. At the same event he said mass use in factories and homes could take 10 years, according to Bloomberg.
“如果你现在把一个人形机器人带回家,让它打扫房间,老实说我觉得它完不成这项任务,”王兴兴在记录稿中说道。
“If you take a humanoid home now and ask it to clean the room, honestly I don’t think it can complete that task,” Wang said in the transcript.
他说,近期AI模型的进步,如OpenAI的GPT-6,改变了他的看法。“去年我对AI模型开发者还持有一些怀疑态度,”他说。他说,今年,最先进的开发者已经开始让他们的模型自我改进。
He said recent advances in AI models such as OpenAI’s GPT-6 changed his mind. “I had some skepticism about AI model developers last year,” he said. This year, he said, the most advanced developers have begun letting their models improve themselves.
“只要给前沿模型数据和时间,它无疑将在许多领域超越人类,”他说。
“As long as you give a frontier model data and time, it will undoubtedly surpass humans in many areas,” he said.
本周,Recursive发布了一个主要由AI构建的编程模型。
This week, Recursive released a coding model that was largely built by AI.
王兴表示,搭载 GPT-6 的宇树人形机器人现在能够绘画、换色洗笔,还会下围棋。宇树计划扩大产能,以应对可能出现的数千万台机器人需求。彭博社报道,目前宇树年产量为数万台。王兴称,宇树正在自研模型,同时与国内外 AI 实验室合作。
Wang said Unitree’s humanoids running GPT-6 can now paint, changing colours and rinsing the palette, and play Go. Unitree plans to expand production to meet possible demand for tens of millions of robots. It makes tens of thousands a year today, Bloomberg reported. Wang said Unitree is building its own models while working with AI labs in China and abroad.
机器人保镖 周三,宇树发布了一段时长一分钟的 H2-X “功夫传奇守护者” 视频。视频中,该人形机器人在废车场对汽车拳打膝撞,还与持刀闯入者对峙,并举起汽车营救被困人员。
A robot bodyguard On Wednesday, Unitree posted a one-minute video of the H2-X Kung Fu Legend Guardian. In it, the humanoid punches and knees cars in a scrapyard.
宇树在其 X 平台帖子中称,该机器人续航约八小时。据 TechRadar 的 Mark Wilson 报道,它能从四米高的平台跳下。宇树未公布价格或发布日期。H2-X 基于 H2 开发,后者售价 29900 美元。TechRadar 指出,H2-X 很难通过作为私人保镖销售所需的安全认证。
It also confronts an intruder holding a knife and lifts a car to free a trapped person. The robot runs for approximately eight hours, Unitree said in its post on X. It can jump from a four-metre platform, according to Mark Wilson at TechRadar. Unitree has given no price or release date. It builds on the H2, which costs $29,900. TechRadar wrote that the H2-X would struggle to pass the safety certification needed to sell as a personal bodyguard.
视频将画面标注为 “极限测试”,并警告勿模仿,Gizmodo 的 Mike Pearl 如此报道。宇树的帖子呼吁人们 “安全、友善地使用机器人”。
The video labels the scenes “extreme testing” and warns against imitating them, Mike Pearl reported for Gizmodo. Unitree’s post asks people to use the robot “safely and in a friendly manner.”
股价与融资 彭博社报道,宇树股价在 8 月于上海上市首日暴涨五倍,现较 8 月峰值回落约四分之一。据追踪机构 ITjuzi 统计,今年以来中国风投与国资已向机器人初创企业投入超 1000 亿元人民币(约合 150 亿美元)。此后中国据报放缓了人形机器人 IPO 进程。彭博社指出,目前人形机器人主要面向研究人员和爱好者销售。
Shares and funding Unitree’s shares rose five-fold on their Shanghai debut in August and are now about a quarter below their August peak, Bloomberg reported. Chinese venture and state funds have put more than 100bn yuan ($15bn) into robotics startups this year, according to the tracker ITjuzi. China has also reportedly slowed humanoid IPOs since then. For now, humanoids sell mainly to researchers and enthusiasts, Bloomberg noted.
