Real life TARS?

well, this was unexpected.

That’s actually very smart. My bet on future is leg-wheel hybrid. Most surfaces in homes, warehouses and offices are flat.

LOL all stolen tech funded by government. Everything about it is overstated and itl probably start on fire when charging.

Appy Pie1 year ago

That’s impressive! The Five sounds like a major leap forward in robotics with its unique design and capabilities. Climbing stairs and having humanoid hands could open up a lot of possibilities for its applications. What do you think its most promising uses could be?

So it's a robot with permanent heelys attached

NAVIAI-I3, a more robust humanoid robot, was launched by the Zhejiang Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center. Standing 1.8 meters tall, it can run like a human and walk on various terrains. This humanoid robot appears to be primarily designed for specialized industrial tasks, such as security patrols in underground parking lots. They previously launched the lightweight bipedal NVAI-2 and a wheeled humanoid robot. The bipedal robot is used in manufacturing operations, while the wheeled humanoid robot is used for unstructured, flexible tasks such as warehouse sorting, supermarket shelving, and office cleaning. We filmed this demonstration at the World Robot Conference; you can see it in the comments section.

Collaborating like an ant colony Blue Worm Robotics from Xi'an has released a wheeled humanoid robot solution for warehouse automation. The wheeled humanoid robots move freely and quickly among warehouse shelves and workstations, using their lifting bodies to move, transfer, and sort goods. The robots collaborate with each other, and multiple robots can even work together to assemble another robot. As the collaborative tasks become more complex, swarm intelligence will emerge.

Humanoid robot packer Tianyi, TienKung's sibling, is another wheeled humanoid robot from the Beijing Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center. Demonstrating its potential as a packer. It can autonomously complete packing tasks such as scanning barcodes, removing boxes, and affixing labels, working with both hands. In the future, it will solve the problem of handling complex and scattered express packaging that currently requires a large amount of manpower. Of course, it is still a bit slow, and its efficiency needs improvement. This humanoid robot is 1.65 meters tall and weighs 88 kg. With its height-adjustable body and flexible wheeled movement, it is also suitable for service scenarios such as indoor inspections in factories and office buildings, and serving as a showroom guide.
