According to CCTV News, recently, Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, together with Shanghai Jiaotong University and other institutions, released an innovative algorithm technology that enables humanoid robots to stand up quickly and stably in various states. According to Pang Jiangmiao, a young scientist at Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, this algorithm is the world's first algorithm that can stand up in generalizable terrain and any terrain. Previous work basically allowed a robot to stand up in a fixed terrain, fixed posture, and fixed program. This breakthrough, through the technology of learning from interaction, allows the robot to stand up directly in different scenes, terrains, and postures.
In order to make robots closer to human behavior patterns, imitation learning is the key. Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has also developed a new set of data acquisition teleoperation equipment, which integrates upper limb exoskeleton and lower limb foot pedals, so that the operator's movements can be accurately reproduced by the robot. According to Ben Qingwei, a joint training doctoral student at Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, this set of equipment significantly improves data acquisition efficiency, and a single operator can control the robot's upper and lower body movements at the same time. In the future, this technology is expected to be used in dangerous scenarios, such as fire or toxic environments, allowing operators to control robots to perform tasks from a safe distance.
