Beijing News Shell Finance News (reporter Wei Yingzi) On August 21, the 2024 World Robot Conference opened in Beijing. Qiao Hong, president of the World Robot Cooperation Organization and academician of the CAS Member, on behalf of the sponsor, released the Ten Trends of Humanoid Robots. Forward looking layout of humanoid robots is carried out in ten directions, including specialized components and materials for humanoid robots, AI enabled design of humanoid robots, motion intelligence of humanoid robots, multi-modal large models of humanoid robots, large-scale datasets of humanoid robots, embodied intelligence of humanoid robots, humanoid robots inspired by human structure and neural mechanisms, open-source community for humanoid robots, humanoid robot factories, and ethical and safety considerations for humanoid robots.

Qiao Hong proposed that based on artificial intelligence technologies such as neural networks, graph syntax, and evolutionary algorithms, it will be possible to automatically construct modules such as legs, arms, and torso for humanoid robots according to scene and task requirements, achieving collaborative optimization of form and control.

For the multimodal large model of humanoid robots, Qiao Hong stated that such models will be able to integrate multimodal information such as speech, images, text, sensing signals, 3D point clouds, etc., providing stronger multimodal understanding, generation, and correlation capabilities for the sensory cognition (perception and cognition) and decision planning of humanoid robots, and improving their generalization ability in complex scene tasks.

It is worth noting that Qiao Hong calls for attention to the moral ethics and safety of humanoid robots. By formulating relevant laws and regulations, we ensure that the design, development, and application of humanoid robots comply with human moral and ethical values, and sustainably safeguard the rights and safety of humans using humanoid robots
