Thirty-two maker teams showcased their robots in a real-world environment, tackling tasks such as CityWalk, coffee delivery, and urban inspections. Despite their capabilities, the robots faced challenges, including reliance on remote control and limitations in long-distance tasks. This testing highlighted the need for standardized data systems among teams to facilitate collaboration between carbon-based and silicon-based entities.
The training culminated in a short film depicting a robotic dog navigating various tasks, revealing both its limitations and the technological advancements made by participating teams. The film emphasized the importance of human oversight and decision-making in enhancing robotic functionality, such as modifying elevator access for robots.
Shanghai has introduced the 'Dual-Base Friendly Agreement' to ensure that silicon-based entities do not compromise human safety or privacy. The team is drafting guidelines for creating friendly communities that integrate these technologies. As robots transition into everyday life, it is crucial to align technological advancements with urban planning, social norms, and human psychology.
