【News Buddy】2024世界機器人大會 全新「天工」首亮相

【原文】摘錄自8月22日香港《文匯報》：2024世界機器人大會21日在北京開幕，169家企業集中展出了600餘件創新產品，27款人形機器人整機亮相，創下歷屆之最。展會現場上演「機器人總動員」般熱鬧場景：一絲不苟地疊衣服做家務、有條不紊地搬運貨物、精準高效地執刀做手術……機器人們十八般武藝樣樣精通，新應用、新場景給觀眾帶來多樣精彩體驗。

全球首個全尺寸純電驅人形機器人「天工」平穩擬人奔跑，Walker S Lite現場展示在汽車智能工廠「打工」技能，全球首款搭載人工智能深度學習技術的骨科手術機器人正模擬手術過程……2024世界機器人大會現場也成為PK賽場，機器人們各顯神通，合力展示科技魅力。

截至2024年7月，中國持有的機器人相關有效專利已超過19萬項，佔全球比重約三分之二，中國機器人產業營業收入年均增長約15%。中國已連續11年成為全球最大工業機器人市場，近三年新增裝機量佔全球一半以上，製造業機器人密度達到每萬名工人470台，十年間增長近19倍。服務機器人在家庭服務、醫療康養等領域實現規模化應用，特種機器人在空海探索、應急救援等領域發揮重要作用。

在大會開幕式上，由北京具身智能機器人創新中心研發的「天工1.2 MAX」首次公開亮相，身高173cm、體重60kg的「天工1.2 MAX」用雙手抱起大會徽章，自主走上舞台中央將會徽準確放入啟動台上，贏得現場巨大掌聲。在北京具身智能機器人創新中心展區，不同型號的具身智能機器人「天工」在各自展示區域紛紛亮出了「絕活」。專家介紹，「天工」掌握了語音交互抓取能力，可以理解人類指令，拆解並完成任務，「未來機器人將能幫助人類做更多事情。」展會現場，這台全球首例純電驅全尺寸擬人奔跑人形機器人「天工」，還一路巡館到特斯拉展台「找朋友」，完成跟靜態展示的特斯拉人形機器人Optimus合影。

在大艾外骨骼機器人展台，吸引了很多觀眾，大家正在排隊體驗外骨骼機器人是怎麼幫助殘障人士行走的。一位來自墨西哥的小女孩饒有興致地試用了外骨骼機器人，當外骨骼機器人帶着她的雙腿行走時，她驚訝地張大了嘴巴，直呼「amazing」（太神奇了）。

長木谷現場發布了自主研發的全球首款搭載人工智能深度學習技術的AI+ROBOT骨科手術機器人ROPA，手術控制精度突破毫米級別，解決了縮短手術時間、降低手術風險、減輕患者痛苦等傳統手術瓶頸。ROPA就像擁有骨科專家的「超級大腦」，術前僅需患者CT就能幫醫生在5分鐘至10分鐘制定出一套個體化的三維手術方案；而亞毫米級的精準光學定位就像「數智眼」，可實時監測並追蹤患者術中體位的變化，幫醫生突破傳統手術的視野局限、操作盲區等瓶頸。

此外，特斯拉Optimus人形機器人也在展會首發亮相，全身具備28個活動關節、雙手共有11個自由度；鈦虎機器人發布人形機器人T230新品，鈦虎機器人創始說：「T230是國內首個高達2.3米的人形機器人，主要應用於重物搬運場景。依託自主研發的輕量化減速器等核心部件，實現了機器人身體輕卻力量大的特點，力量相當於正常成年人的三倍。」

World Robot Conference 2024 Debut of the new humanoid "Tiangong"

【譯文】The 2024 World Robot Conference opened in Beijing on August 21st, with 169 enterprises displaying more than 600 innovative products and 27 types of humanoid robots appearing on the show floor, the most ever. The exhibition site staged the "WALL-E" like a bustling scene: meticulously folding clothes to do housework, orderly transportation of goods, and accurate and efficient knife surgery … robots are skilled in all kinds of martial arts, new applications, new scenes to the audience to bring a variety of wonderful experience.

The world's first full-size, purely electrically driven humanoid robot, "Tiangong"," is running steadily like a human being; Walker S Lite demonstrates its "working" skills on-site in the automotive intelligent factory, and the world's first orthopaedic surgical robot equipped with AI deep-learning technology is simulating the surgical process. 2024 The site of the World Robot Conference has also become a PK. Robots are showing off their skills and demonstrating the charm of science and technology.

As of July 2024, China holds more than 190,000 valid patents related to robots, accounting for about two-thirds of the world's share, and the average annual growth rate of China's robotics industry revenue is about 15%. China has become the world's largest industrial robot market for 11 consecutive years, with new installations accounting for more than half of the world's total in the past three years, and the density of robots in the manufacturing industry has reached 470 per 10,000 workers, a growth of nearly 19 times over the past decade. Service robots in the family service, health care, and other areas are used to achieve large-scale applications; unique robots in air and sea exploration, emergency rescue, and the different regions play an essential role.

At the conference's opening ceremony, "Tiangong 1.2 MAX", developed by Beijing Embodied Intelligent Robotics Innovation Center, first appeared. With a height of 173cm and a body weight of 60kg, "Tiangong 1.2 MAX" picked up the conference emblem with both hands and walked up to the centre of the stage independently to put the emblem into the launching pad accurately, which won massive applause at the scene. In the Beijing Embodied Intelligent Robotics Innovation Center exhibition, different models of embodied intelligent robots, "Tiangong", showed off their "masterpieces" in their respective display areas. Experts introduced that "Tiangong" has mastered the ability of voice interaction capture, can understand human commands, disassemble and complete tasks, and "the future robot will be able to help human beings to do more things." At the exhibition site, the world's first purely electrically driven full-size humanoid running robot "Tiangong" also made a tour of the exhibition hall to the Tesla booth to "find a friend" and finished taking a photo with the static Tesla Optimus humanoid robot on display.

At the AI-robotics Exoskeleton Robotics booth, many visitors lined up to experience how exoskeleton robots help people with disabilities walk. A little girl from Mexico tried out the exoskeleton robot with great interest. When the robot walked with her legs, she opened her mouth wide in amazement and exclaimed, "Amazing!"

Changmugu released the world's first self-developed AI+ROBOT orthopaedic surgical robot ROPA, equipped with artificial intelligence deep learning technology on the spot; the precision of surgical control breaks through the millimetre level, which solves the bottleneck of traditional surgery, such as shortening the operation time, reducing the risk of surgery, and alleviating the pain of the patients, etc. ROPA is just like a "superbrain" of orthopaedic specialists, which can help the doctor develop personalized surgery plans in 5-10 minutes by only requiring a patient's CT before the operation. ROPA is like a "super brain" with orthopaedic experts, which can help doctors develop a personalized three-dimensional surgical plan in 5-10 minutes with only a CT of the patient before surgery. The sub-millimetre precision optical positioning is like a "digital eye", which can monitor and track the changes in the patient's body position in real-time and help the doctors break through the bottlenecks of traditional surgeries such as the limitation of the field of vision and the blind spot of operation.

In addition, the Tesla Optimus humanoid robot also debuted at the exhibition, with 28 movable joints in the body and 11 degrees of freedom in the hands. Titanium Tiger Robotics released the new humanoid robot T230, and the founder of Titanium Tiger Robotics said, "T230 is the first humanoid robot in China that is up to 2.3 meters high and is mainly applied to heavy lifting and transportation scenarios. Relying on independent research and development of a lightweight reducer and other core components, the robot body is light but has robust characteristics; the strength is equivalent to three times that of the average adult."
