At this year's WAIC, Shenzhen's robotics companies focused on enhancing the 'intermediate layer' necessary for humanoid robots to translate thoughts into actions. This layer is crucial for bridging the gap between model capabilities and real-world execution, addressing the industry's shift from 'can it be done' to 'can it be used'.
The importance of this development lies in the need for robots to effectively process diverse training data sources, such as human demonstrations and simulation synthesis. Companies like Cross-Dimensional Intelligence introduced the Aligned DexWorld, which aligns data in a unified 3D physical space, while the DexVerse simulation engine generates varied training materials. Demonstrations showcased robots performing complex tasks, emphasizing the necessity for continuous action planning and adjustment in real-time.
Looking ahead, the challenges remain regarding the amount of data required for new tasks and the stability of long-term operations. However, Shenzhen's robotics sector is clearly on the right path, focusing on completing the 'intermediate layer' to enable robots to transition from understanding to executing tasks effectively.
