Just yesterday, a new generation of domestic self-developed AI robot Astribot S1 was born. The S1 can complete a variety of difficult tasks such as stir-frying and sorting items, and its operation power is comparable to that of humans. It is worth mentioning that the S1 robot has been connected to the LLM test and is expected to be commercialized this year.
Can robot pension really be realized?
In the past half a month, robots have poured into the human world almost at a frequency of one update a day.
Just yesterday, Astribot S1, an AI robot self-developed by Stardust Intelligence, aroused enthusiastic responses from netizens as soon as it was released!
It can be used to reel cucumbers.
Spoon the bread slices.
A dexterous robot hand that folds clothes neatly.
With a few clicks, the bench was repaired.
It will also use the corkscrew to open the red wine, pour it into the container, shake the bottle to decant it, and wait for the owner to drink it.
Shockingly, calligraphy, one of the skills that everyone thought was the least likely to be mastered by robots, has also been learned!
The pen walks the dragon and snake, the clouds and rivers flow, the movements are full of rhythm and rhythm, and the word "stardust" is a calligraphy work, which is natural.
Netizens exclaimed: The strongest robot is here!
It is worth mentioning that the 6 core team members of the company behind S1 are all from the Goose Factory Robotics Lab.
Human beings will really rely on robots for home care in the future.
Among the same specifications, the performance is the strongest
The AI robot Astribot S1, successfully developed by Stardust Intelligent Company, has the "strongest operating performance" among robots of the same specification.
S1 has set a new standard for AI robotics by learning by imitating and performing complex tasks that are useful to humans with the agility, flexibility, and smoothness of an adult.
At present, the S1 robot has been connected to the large model test, and is expected to complete commercialization in 2024.
In the 1x speed video without acceleration processing (3 to 10x speed is common in the industry), the S1 robot demonstrated excellent performance in home and work scenarios, completing a series of complex tasks such as folding clothes, sorting items, stir-frying, vacuuming and cleaning, and competing cup stacking.
As AI accelerates in the direction of the holy grail of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), the combination of large models and robots is an inevitable trend.
The market for single-purpose robots has been saturated for decades, and the huge potential of AI general-purpose robots needs to be tapped.
Lai Jie, CEO of Stardust Intelligence, said, "Our goal is to enable billions of people to have AI robot assistants. The new generation of AI robots is "Born for Yours, Born for Yours", which can learn, think and work like humans, use human tools and equipment, help people complete boring, difficult or dangerous tasks, and even adapt to the environment and changes, so as to truly take care of the old and young families. Such a world would require millions, if not billions, of robots. We welcome more requests from the S1 to grow its capabilities from 55% and 85% to 99.99%, which is infinitely close to the human level. 」
It took a year to make a breakthrough in software and hardware synergy
Stardust's R&D team has made a key breakthrough in "software and hardware collaboration", and the S1 R&D took a year to develop, with both an intelligent "brain" (software) and an agile and flexible "body" (hardware).
In terms of software, it supports a variety of data collection methods such as video, motion capture, and teleoperation, and can use reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and multi-modal large models to complete learning and training.
The robot can be upgraded with the software to continuously improve the intelligence and multi-task generalization capabilities.
In terms of hardware, the self-developed high-performance motor drive system has undergone many iterations and integrates multiple complex systems such as control, sensing, transmission and drive, providing the S1 robot with agile, flexible and silky dynamic operation capabilities, which is close to the speed and accuracy of industrial robots.
In addition, the head, hands, and torso are modular, which can be flexibly assembled or disassembled according to different needs, improving task adaptability.
文能做家务,武能跳Popping
There's a lot more that S1 can do.
A competitive stack that tests agility and coordination, and it can be done exactly as commanded. The whole process took less than 3 seconds!
The tablecloth under the three-layered wine glass, it was removed in a second! (this is something that many humans can't do)
Not only that, but its visual recognition ability is also super strong.
If you ask, "What do you see," it will tell you, "I saw orange ping pong balls, red racing toys, white Hello Kitty dolls, pink notebooks, two white containers, a red pen, all on the table." 」
It also knew that in order to organize its desktop, it needed to sort these things into toy containers and stationery containers.
In the process of cooking, sprinkling salt is a small case.
Screwing a cap is also a breeze.
Ironing clothes is stress-free, and you can be called a little housework expert.
It can also be done smoothly by inserting the plug into the socket and pressing the button of the lamp.
You can also operate the vacuum cleaner, so you don't have to worry about sweeping the floor at home in the future!
Throwing garbage is a throw-away.
It's actually Popping, it's really a "hipster".
It is worth mentioning that Stardust Intelligence takes safe interaction as the benchmark and adopts an innovative design method of "force-centered", so that the S1 has the safety of a collaborative robot, and can accurately control the interaction with the human body, objects and the environment, so as not to hurt people, objects or yourself during movement.
The founding team of Dachang wants to let robots enter thousands of households
Lai Jie, the founder of Stardust Intelligence, is the No. 1 employee of Tencent Robotics Lab, with 16 years of experience in robot research and development.
He also worked as a team leader for "Xiaodu Robot" at Baidu and was a research assistant at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Laijie has designed a number of new robots, led the development of the wheel-legged robot Ollie at Tencent, and continues to promote the combination of robots and artificial intelligence technology.
In addition, the Stardust team has a background in cutting-edge technology companies such as Tencent, Google, UBTECH, Baidu and Huawei, and has extensive experience in solving unprecedented scientific problems and turning innovative technologies into commercial products.
星尘智能(Astribot)的名字源自拉丁古谚语「Ad astra per aspera」,意为「穿越苦旅,以达星尘」。
Lai Jie explained, "It will take five to ten years for AI robots to enter thousands of households. Partners with this long-term ambition are welcome to join us and make AI robots from dreams to reality. 」
