The 2024 World Robot Conference (WRC), held from August 21 to 25 in Beijing, has been hailed as the largest-ever exhibition of humanoid robots. This year's event showcased an impressive array of 27 different types of humanoid robots, each demonstrating unique capabilities and innovations.
Among the standout attractions was a robot capable of skillfully playing the Chinese dulcimer, an achievement made possible through an intensive learning process that spans merely two to three days. This rapid adaptation highlights the advanced learning algorithms integrated into the robot's design.
Another remarkable exhibit featured a humanoid robot designed to resemble a young man. Equipped with a sophisticated camera system, this robot can accurately mimic its partner's facial expressions in real time, capturing subtle movements and reflecting them with impressive precision. Such advancements not only showcase the potential for more interactive and emotionally intelligent robots but also pave the way for their integration into various aspects of daily life.
The WRC 2024 in Beijing has once again underscored the rapid advancements in robotics technology, offering a glimpse into a future where humanoid robots play an integral role in society.
