In April this year, Stardust Intelligence demonstrated the progress of its self-developed AI robot Astribot S1. With the support of a multimodal large model, S1 can autonomously complete complex tasks such as folding clothes, sorting items, cooking, vacuuming, and stacking cups through intelligent human-computer interaction, and improve its task generalization and migration capabilities through learning and evolution.

In terms of AI capabilities, the S1 robot has the ability to perceive, recognize, and make real-time decisions in complex environments, and generalizes common operations at the object, task, and environment levels. At the same time, Stardust Intelligence has achieved certain breakthroughs in the acquisition of embodied intelligence data. It can use existing real-world video data and human motion data to collect multi-dimensional high-quality data through the first person perspective, and realize human multi-modal data interaction such as vision, touch, hearing, and force perception.

Stardust Intelligence develops its own key components and is currently cooperating with leading companies and institutions in the fields of scientific research, logistics warehousing, intelligent manufacturing, laboratory automation, retail consumption, elderly care, personalized education, etc.
