AI-assisted robots reshape future of industry in China

This company claims to make a smart cleaning robot that integrates AI. Atop an otherwise conventional cleaning vehicle rests a device equipped with cameras and sensors. These components transmit data to a processing unit that’s embedded with a ChatGPT-like large language model called Tongyi Qianwen, created by China’s tech giant Alibaba. As with all such AI tools: Let’s see if it can pick up the bottle I just threw away, just by us telling it to. As the camera locked onto the bottle, the sweepers activated automatically. Ever since the explosion of generative AI, many people have become acquainted with its artistic and entertainment applications. However, it appears that robots like this one are an example of how it’s increasingly being used for industrial purposes. Another company in Hangzhou is employing Tongyi Qianwen to imbue their robotic arm with the intelligence to comprehend and carry out commands such as “bake a cake in the microwave“. These advancements merging generative AI with robotics represent one step in China’s ongoing technology upgrades that experts say will present enormous economic potential. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
