Shanghai tech firms ready for intl embodied intelligence competition
Chen Yao, chief operating officer of OYMotion, highlighted the company's AP002 tactile force-controlled dexterous hand, which integrates hybrid tactile perception and achieves closed-loop control from perception to force control.
"In the past, robots might crush an egg when grasping it, but now they can adjust the force in real time through tactile feedback," Chen said, emphasizing this as a crucial step toward practical embodied intelligence.
Humanoid Robot (Shanghai) Co Ltd, a novel research institution established by State-owned enterprises and leading industry players, is participating in the home service track.
"The track requires robots to perform tasks such as folding clothes and organizing tableware in complex home environments, which demands strong model generalization and robustness," Zhang Haoran, an algorithm engineer of the company, said.
Zhang added that — since it is the first time that embodied intelligence development is promoted through competitive events instead of mere exhibitions — the competition offers a valuable testing ground that can effectively promote technological progress.
