On July 29, local time, Nvidia (NVDA. US) announced at SiGGRAPH that it is providing a suite of services, models, and software platforms for the world's leading robotics manufacturers, AI model developers, and software manufacturers to develop, train, and build the next generation of humanoid robots.
Development of a humanoid robot toolkit
According to the official introduction, the complete set of products includes NVIDIA NIM microservices and frameworks for robot simulation and learning, NVIDIA OSMO orchestration services for running multi-stage robot workloads, and remote operation workflows that support AI and simulation, allowing developers to train robots with a small amount of human demonstration data.
Founder CEO Jensen Huang said that the next wave of AI is robots, and one of the exciting developments is humanoid robots. We're advancing the entire NVIDIA robotics stack with open access for robotics developers and companies around the world, giving them access to the platforms, acceleration libraries, and AI models that best meet their needs.
The humanoid machine industry is hot
According to the latest news from the media, the Shanghai Municipal Government recently issued the "Shanghai Action Plan for Promoting the Upgrading of the Industrial Service Industry (2024-2027)", proposing to create a national humanoid robot manufacturing innovation center to promote the application of humanoid robots in automobiles, electrical equipment production and other fields.
Not long ago, at the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai, the humanoid robot "phalanx" from 15 domestic enterprises and units was very conspicuous and attracted a large number of audiences. According to incomplete statistics, a total of about 45 intelligent robots were displayed at the conference, including 25 humanoid robots.
It is worth mentioning that a new wave of artificial intelligence represented by large models has stimulated the explosion of the humanoid robot industry. When AI large model technology meets humanoid robots, it is considered to be one of the best landing scenarios for large models. Imagine a humanoid robot with AI large model technology that can not only understand your instructions, but also respond more intimately according to your emotions and needs.
From the perspective of industry distribution, the CNI Robot Industry Index focuses on robots, including not only artificial intelligence model suppliers, but also supporting parts and terminal manufacturers, and the machinery manufacturing industry accounts for more than half; The CSI Artificial Intelligence Theme Index focuses on the leaders of each segment of the artificial intelligence industry chain, involving not only computing power, but also large models and applications.
On the other hand, humanoid robots contain huge market space and development opportunities. According to the International Federation of Robotics, the global humanoid robot market is growing at a rate of more than 20% per year; It is expected to reach tens of billions of dollars by 2025. Industry insiders believe that humanoid robots will be the first to be implemented in industrial special industries, commercial scenarios and other fields, and are expected to be further applied in scientific research, medical and other fields in the future.
Weimei holographic taps the greater market potential of robots
It is understood that the technology-based entrepreneurship Weimei Holographic (WIMI.US) has been laying out on the humanoid robot track for many years and has attracted increasing market attention. Up to now, Weimei Hologram uses AI vision technology, learning, and iteration to realize intelligent robot management, and quickly adapts to new task requirements based on the autonomous learning ability of humanoid robot embodied intelligence, and provides agile deployment in manufacturing scenarios, which helps to further strengthen the standard research layout in the field of humanoid robots.
In fact, in order to promote the high-quality development of the robot industry, Weimei Holographic has continuously improved the collaborative innovation ecology of technology production and use, so as to apply and drive the innovation of the robot industry. Weimei Holographic focuses on deeply cultivating advantageous industries, drives technological breakthroughs and product upgrades through "robot + application", and accumulates important experience in the development of humanoid robots. Focusing on the future, WEMI Holographic will continue to improve the robot's multimodal AI fusion capabilities, including natural language understanding and expression, cognitive reasoning, robot behavior strategy and control execution, etc., to promote the diversified development of the humanoid robot industry chain.
