清晨,一台具身智能机器人正在执行实验任务。 它需要完成数百次实验操作,包括试剂取放、试剂配置、自动分液、细胞毒性检测等流程,并实现多个实验设备之间的协同运行。整个过程中,实验室内无需人员操作,由机器人自主完成任务。 这个场景并非科幻小说,而正在国家级科研平台实验室真实发生。 科学智能(AI for Science)的产业革命 今年7月中旬,国家级科研平台实验室迎来了第一批人形机器人。这批名为Monte2的人形机器人,由源络科技与国家级科研实验室联合研发。它的外形并不科幻:两条机械臂、一个简洁的躯干,但执行的操作却比外表看起来精细得多——精准转移微量试剂、精准抓取仪器、自主调动工具,并完成核酸提取预处理、细胞毒性培养实验。与常见的六轴工业机器人不同,Monte2能够在实验台上完成长序列、灵活的实验操作,并复现人类实验员的操作逻辑。 像细胞毒性检测等实验涉及大量重复性操作、流程调试和实验检测,需要投入大量人力和物力。国家级科研实验室主任表示,通过引入人形机器人,科研人员无需持续值守实验现场,可以有效缓解人工操作带来的通量瓶颈和一致性问题。计划到2027年底,实验室将机器人数量扩展至约百台规…
The second World Humanoid Robot Games opens August 22 at the Ice Ribbon with 666 teams and 2,056 robots, team count up 138% and robots quadrupling. Industry figures describe machine configurations converging, core parts following, capacity and orders rising, but scenarios still unsettled and hardware not yet at industrial-grade quality — with data demand jumping from thousands of hours to tens of millions.
荣耀上一次让全行业意外,是 2020 年从华为独立出来。 但这一次,是一部手机。 几天前,荣耀 CEO 李健在广州正式发布 Robot Phone,9.59 毫米厚的机身里,塞着一个四自由度的钛合金机械云台,能够实现跟随音乐律动、拟人化交互、自动追焦等功能,产品定价 9999 元起。据李健在发布会上透露,算上前期新品预约,荣耀 RobotPhone 预定量已超 40 万台。 对行业而言,Robot Phone 是一个全新“物种”,在手机行业仍在追寻系统全面 AI 化的时期,荣耀凭借着在具身智能领域的技术积累,成功将两个看似相隔甚远的行业“捏”到了一起。 荣耀这一落子也恰逢其时。回过头看,2023 年是各家对模型大脑的比拼,而到了 2025 年,故事早已经向着“这具大脑能住进什么样的身体”发展,在这一概念热度空前的当下,荣耀也收获了一大波流量。 如今复杂的市场局面下,摆在荣耀面前的 Robot Phone 既是可选项,但也是必选项。 在一众友商中,小米汽车业务打开了新的增长曲线;CyberOne 人形机器人展示了小米在具身智能领域的布局。vivo 成立机器人 LAB 独立中心,专注消费级…
宇树科技发布「超人」机器人,并定 8 月 19 日科创板上市 8 月 17 日,宇树科技发布了一款人形机器人新品「超人」,原地跳高 2m,极限速度 12.66m/s(0.85m 腿长),超越全世界全人类原地跳高和奔跑速度纪录。 宇树科技表示,全新整机刚用 3 个多月研发出来,未来几个月还有很大的完善空间。 早在今年 4 月,宇树 H1 机器人就跑出 10m/s 刷新世界纪录,逼近博尔特速度极限。如今「超人」再次打破纪录,并成功超越人类极限。 宇树科技 8 月 12 日宣布,旗下人形机器人累计生产下线约 18,000 台(仅包括仿生双足人形的数量,不含其他类人形机器人或轮式底盘人形)。 同日,宇树科技发布首次公开发行股票科创板上市公告书称,公司股票将于 2026 年 8 月 19 日在上海证券交易所科创板上市。 根据此前公告,宇树科技发行价格 150.80 元/股,中一签(500 股)需缴款 7.54 万元。(来源:格隆汇) OpenAI 与英伟达扩大计算潜在机会,到 2030 年计算规模或达 6000 亿美元 8 月 17 日,根据英伟达发布的新闻稿,OpenAI 将在 PORTS-P…
Humanoids desperately need to stop making YouTube videos and get a job already, and Persona AI is one of the few humanoid companies which seems to be entirely focused on making that happen. Persona’s approach has been to carefully select a job that is economically viable for robots right now, and they’ve found one that was also the job of one of the very first industrial robots ever sold: welding. IEEE Spectrum first spoke with Persona two years ago, shortly after it was founded by Nic Radford a…

The robot is part of the companies' expanded partnership to shift physical AI from concepts to real-world deployments.

宇树科技宣布股票将于 2026 年 8 月 19 日在科创板上市,发行价 150.80 元/股,对应市值约 609.93 亿元,预计募资约 60.99 亿元。该公司 2023 至 2025 年营收分别为 1.59 亿元、3.93 亿元和 16.99 亿元,净利润分别为-1114.51 万元、9547.47 万元和 2.78 亿元,是全球少数实现盈利的高性能通用机器人公司。 🔗 阅读原文 via AIHOT · https://aihot.virxact.com/items/cmsx9jy2a05yerommy1e0jc6t
作者|Li Yuan 编辑|张鹏 8 月 10 日,宇树科技完成科创板申购,发行价 150.80 元,发行市值约 610 亿元,发行市盈率 219 倍,是通用设备行业平均值的近六倍。多家机构给出的挂牌后估值直接标到千亿以上,敲钟的日子很可能就落在这个月下旬,几乎与世界机器人大会撞在一起。 钱多,预期更高。钱多,预期更高。对标电动车,意味着一个万亿级的制造业;对标 AI,则意味着根本没有天花板——毕竟具身智能被寄予的,是让 AI 真正落进物理世界。 热的是估值,冷的是订单。可作对照的是另一组数字。2025 年宇树人形机器人出货 5500 多台,全球第一;工信部预计 2026 年全年整机产量有望突破 10 万台,比去年跳升五倍。增速极快,但总产值仍远撑不起千亿估值。 而行业真实的状态是,数据、本体、算法,没有一件可以叫收敛。但它跑得足够快,快到收敛那一天已经隐约能看见。 8 月 19 日至 23 日,2026 世界机器人大会在北京举行,300 多家企业、2000 多件展品。我们会去现场,和大家一起看看到时候今天真实的机器人产业到底是什么样。 先说一个可能不讨喜的预判:今年的 WRC,大概率…

The investment highlights the growing interconnections between AI models and robots.

While Google says the launch brings it closer to "physical AGI," safety and real-world deployment remain significant hurdles.

For a while there, it seemed as though robotics as a whole was stuck in a mad rush towards building humanoid robots mostly because it was very possible (and very lucrative) to do so, even without near-term goals that were necessarily realistic. Some of the magic of those first couple of years of the humanoid explosion has stuck around, but there’s also been an industry-wide sobering leading to pointed questions about practicality and value. In other words, starting a commercial humanoid company …

“In the future, the relationship between humans and robots will deepen, and the distinction between them will probably disappear.” This prediction, from one of the attendees at the recent Humanoids Summit in Tokyo, might have been unremarkable had it not come directly from an android that was first introduced to the world 20 years ago. Geminoid HI-6 is the sixth-generation of a robot originally designed in 2006. The mechanical twin of Osaka University professor Hiroshi Ishiguro, Geminoid HI-6 is…
