99,000The domestically produced humanoid robot can beMass production



Let’s see how powerful it is:

After being pushed hard by the human, he took a few steps back and stood firmly.



△ "Hey, don't hit my dog!"

After being kicked in the leg, he staggered slightly and then continued to move forward steadily.



The 20-centimeter-high stairs with debris on the ground were climbed up in a flash.



You can also transform into Mario:



This is what Yushu just officially announced.G1 production version

Stronger performance, ultimate appearance, and most importantly, it can be mass-produced.



You should know that the launch price of Yushu G1 starts at 99,000.



This progress has made colleagues unable to sit still.

Nvidia scientists can't wait to get one to do experiments!



Tony Z. Zhao, who created the popular Stanford robot Mobile ALOHA, is heading to Silicon ValleyIssue a warning

Silicon Valley can continue to think it’s the best at software and AI, but now a Chinese hardware startup has achieved the best AI-driven movement in a humanoid robot.
……
If Silicon Valley continues to hold on to this misguided idea, it will fall behind in the AI ​​race.



Some netizens feel that humanoid robots are moving along the iPhone model.

That is, the technology behind it is advancing rapidly, but no company has yet established a To C model.

When it first appears, people may think it is useless. But in 3-4 years, everyone will want to have one; in 5-10 years, everyone will have a humanoid robot.



Lower limbs are stronger and more stable

The latest demonstration mainly emphasized the lower limb capabilities of G1. In several demonstration movements, the bipedal robot showed stability and flexibility comparable to human capabilities.

For example, single-leg hopping:



Jump and turn 360 degrees in place:



Cross multiple obstacles in a row:



Emergency brake after fast moving:



G1 is 130cm tall and weighs approximately 35kg.

The whole body is equipped with 23-43 joint motors, with a total degree of freedom of more than 43, a maximum joint torque of 120N.m, and can perform joint movements at ultra-large angles.



The technical route based on end-to-end deep reinforcement learning and simulation training can be quickly upgraded and iterated.



For example, in the example of going up and down stairs shown at the beginning, the robot using the end-to-end model can perceive the geometric structure of the stairs in real time based on vision and depth sensors, dynamically handle uncertain factors in the environment, such as obstacles on the surface of the steps, and perform precise gait planning and real-time adjustments.



After reading this, some scholars expressed their doubts as to why some people still do not believe that simulation learning and reinforcement learning are the key cornerstones of AI training.



When it was first unveiled in May, its hands and operating capabilities were fully demonstrated.

It adopts 3-finger force-controlled dexterous hand, which can simulate various precise operations of human hands through force-position mixed control.

For example, it can unscrew bottle caps, crack walnuts, and do welding.



In terms of visual sensors, the G1 is equipped with Intel RealSense D435 and LIVOX-MID360 3D lidar, which enables it to achieve 360° detection and perception.

In addition, the G1 power supply module supports a 2-hour battery life standard and supports quick disassembly.



After seeing the latest developments, both netizens and bigwigs in the industry were excited.

Someone said, although I know there are many challenges in the development of humanoid robots, this time, I really want to take this robot home.



Some netizens said that the G1 looks better than Tesla's Optimus Prime and Figure 2, not to mention that it can be mass-produced.



Some people think that Yushu may position itself like Nvidia, where users buy robots to train various capabilities and models.



The G1's outstanding mobility makes people feel that it is ahead of Tesla and Boston Dynamics in this regard.

The future belongs to China.

However, some people also said that in terms of hand ability, we still have to look at Figure 2.



After reading so much, do you want to buy one and try it at home (doge)?

u1s1, the robot circle has indeed started to "sell goods" recently. A few days ago, Zhihuijun's Zhiyuan Robot said that it would ship 300 units this year, and it also disassembled and sold robot parts on Bilibili.



BTW Yushu also reminded that I still hope everyone will treat robots well and not make dangerous modifications or use them in dangerous environments.
