当地周六,在北京举行的世界人形机器人运动会上,一款人形机器人打破了尤塞恩·博尔特的100米短跑世界纪录。
这款由北京X-Humanoid公司制造的机器人以9.39秒跑完了109码(约合100米),打破了这位牙买加运动员2009年创下的9.58秒纪录。
赛事画面显示,在100米短跑结束时,机器人会撞到缓冲垫后倒地停下,随后被担架抬离赛场。
该公司的另一款机器人还打破了人类男子立定跳高世界纪录,其跳跃高度达到2.88米,超过了古巴选手哈维尔·索托马约尔1993年创下的2.45米纪录。
其他机器人的表现则不尽如人意,部分机器人在比赛中绊倒、摔倒、撞得粉碎,甚至起火。
据赛事主办方介绍,这两项世界纪录均在这场类似奥运会的赛事首日创下,共有超过2000台人形机器人参赛。该赛事已举办至第二届,旨在展示中国在先进机器人研发领域的快速进步,赛事涵盖跑步、乒乓球、足球等体育项目。
在周六的机器人运动会开幕式上,主办方和机器人制造商表示,中国人形机器人打破了人类世界纪录,数百台人形机器人列队入场,展示了极强的同步协调能力。
上个月,美国联邦通信委员会宣布禁止进口新的外国产人形机器人,此举以中国为目标,美方给出的理由是国家安全。近期,美国国防部还将中国领先人形机器人制造商之一的宇树科技(Unitree)列入其认定的与中国军方有关联的企业名单。北京方面已对这些指控予以反驳。
中国目前是人形机器人生产大国,当地部分制造商表示,他们已收到来自政府和私营企业的数千份订单。不过一些专家指出,这项技术目前仍主要用于展示和表演,要实现大规模实际部署还需要一段时间。
Chinese robot beats Usain Bolt’s 100-meter sprint world record in humanoid bot games

A humanoid robot has beaten Usain Bolt’s 100-meter sprint record at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, China on Saturday.
The robot, made by Beijing-based X-Humanoid, was able to run the 109 yards in 9.39 seconds, beating the 2009 record of 9.58 seconds set by the Jamaican athlete.
At the end of the 100-meter dash, the robots slammed into a cushion and fell to the ground in order to stop, footage from the event showed, before being carried out in stretchers.

A separate robot made by the same company was able to beat the human record in the standing high jump. The humanoid reached 2.88 meters, surpassing the 2.45 meters set by Cuba’s Javier Sotomayor in 1993.
Other robots were not so successful, with some tripping, falling and smashing into pieces during competitions or even catching fire.
Both records were set on the opening day of the Olympics-like event which sees more than 2,000 humanoid robots participating, according to the organizers. The event is in its second year and aims to demonstrate China’s rapid progress in the development of advanced robotics, with competitions in sports such as running, table tennis and soccer.

At Saturday’s opening of the robot games, the organizer and robot makers said that Chinese humanoid robots defeated human world records, as hundreds of humanoid robots marched in formation onto the field in a massive display of synchronized coordination.
Last month, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission announced a ban on imports of new foreign-made humanoid robots. The FCC cited national security reasons in a move that targeted China. The Pentagon recently also added Unitree, one of China’s leading humanoid robot makers, to its list of companies that it deemed have ties with the Chinese military. Beijing has hit back at the accusations.
China currently leads in the production of humanoid robots, with some manufacturers there saying they have thousands of orders from both government and private businesses. However, some experts say this technology is still mostly used for demonstrations and performances and will take some time to achieve mass real-world deployment.
