Humanoid Robots Enter the Software-Defined and AI-Driven Era

Abstract

Based on the analysis of the development stages and core competencies of humanoid robots, humanoid robots have entered a brand new era defined by software and driven by AI. Software not only carries the basic operating system and application algorithms of humanoid robots but also endows humanoid robots with intelligent characteristics that surpass traditional mechanical devices through continuous iteration and upgrades. Software and AI not only open up the possibility for the widespread application of humanoid robots in various industries but also define the functional boundaries of humanoid robots.
  • Based on the highly mechanized characteristics exhibited by humanoid robots and the successful reuse of autonomous driving algorithms in visual perception, humanoid robots are in a stage of development from high dynamics to high intelligence. High dynamics refers to the robot’s excellent performance in mobility, especially in balance and obstacle-crossing capabilities. Currently, humanoid robots are highly mechanized and possess strong motion control and environmental perception capabilities. In terms of motion control, Boston Dynamics’ Atlas humanoid robot has outstanding body coordination, completing difficult movements such as rolling in addition to walking; in terms of perception, Tesla’s Optimus is based on a fully end-to-end trained neural network architecture, with underlying perception and recognition algorithms already integrated with FSD for reuse.
  • The core competitiveness of humanoid robots lies in their universality and generalization, that is, the degree of intelligence, which refers to their high adaptability and self-learning ability in the face of various unknown environments, tasks, and interaction scenarios. The original design intention of humanoid robots is to mimic human form and behavioral capabilities, allowing them to seamlessly use all basic infrastructure and tools designed for humans to perform tasks in various environments, improving productivity, especially in replacing humans in potentially dangerous, difficult, or unsuitable tasks. The commercialization process of humanoid robots is deeply influenced by the limitations of application scenarios; increasing their intelligence can significantly broaden the application scenarios of humanoid robots, breaking existing limitations and enhancing their adaptability to complex environments and flexibility in task execution.
Large models have become the “AI brain,” and the dawn of general-purpose humanoid robots is on the horizon. 1) “Decision-making” + “Cognition” is the high-level judgment standard for the intelligence level of smart robots. According to the current technological state, humanoid robots at home and abroad are generally at the L3 stage, and with the arrival of the large model era, they are gradually developing towards the L4 and L5 stages; achieving a leap in the intelligence level of humanoid robots and enhancing their decision-making and cognitive abilities is a necessary path and one of the core challenges. 2) Large models + robots represent an important landing scenario for AI. The generalization ability of large models brings hope for the development of general-purpose humanoid robots. The generalization ability brought by the vast knowledge base and strong understanding capabilities of large models endows humanoid robots with higher universality, enabling them to meet diverse task requirements in different scenarios; at the same time, the auxiliary programming functions of large models can effectively reduce software development costs, potentially accelerating the commercialization of humanoid robots.
