Last week, a number of tech and robotics companies showcased their artificial intelligence-powered humanoid robots that are capable of doing a slew of basic functions and animations that people do, which represents a growing threat that workers around the world will eventually be replaced by these androids.
A number of bots were on display at the prestigious World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2024 in Shanghai, China; but one of the more notable displays was showcased by Chinese National Local Joint Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, which released its highly anticipated open-source general-purpose humanoid robot Qinglong for the first time.
Days before the event, the company gave a sneak peak as to some of the basic functions the android could perform, Shanghai Eye reported.
During live demonstrations at the event, the bot was seen picking up and arranging food presented on the table after the host commanded Qinglong to sort the food. “Hello, I will arrange the bread and fruit separately,” the bot replied.
TechNode listed some of the specs and other capabilities the robot can do:
‘Qinglong stands at 185cm tall and weighs 80kg, according to the company. It features a highly bionic torso and anthropomorphic motion control, supporting multi-modal mobility, perception, interaction, and manipulation. With 43 active degrees of freedom, Qinglong achieved a maximum joint peak torque of 400 N·m (Newton-meters) and 400 TOPs (Tera Operations Per Second) of computational power…
