New humanoid robot improvement centre

Another (after Beijing and Zhejiang Province) National Humanoid Robot Innovation Center is formed in Shanghai. The aim is to make a centre to advance the improvement of open-source humanoid robot prototypes. In the complex, which will be completed in 2027, conditions will be created for simultaneous training/learning of 1,000 robots. The training centre will reduce the entry threshold for investigation and improvement of humanoid robots, advance interaction and optimization of technology, accelerate technological improvement and aid in their applicable application. Shanghai was selected for the center's location due to its strong position in industries specified as biomedicine, integrated circuits and artificial intelligence, as well as the improvement of high-grade production. This hub will besides launch an online social platform that will let programmers, researchers and enthusiasts of humanoid robots around the planet a library of digital resources.

The platform is intended to contribute to the improvement of humanoid robots by sharing cognition and technology.
The Centre besides created a fund for the humanoid robot manufacture at the first amount of RMB 2 billion; around PLN 1.116 billion. It will yet be RMB 10 billion (about PLN 5.580 billion).

The Eye of Artificial Intelligence

The squad from the Brain-inspired Computer investigation Centre (CBKIM) of TsingHua University developed the world's first open light imagination chip with an open light perception path. Chip was named “天眸芯’ (TianMuXin), meaning “retinanic core”. Chinese scientists published the results of their investigation in the prestigious magazine "Nature".

“It is simply a perceptive chip, not a computational chip, based on our first method path”, said task leader prof. Shi Luping, manager of CBKIM in a message on Tsinghua website.

“First, it balances the velocity and dynamic performance of imagination chips and introduces an innovative computing method that deviates from existing device imagination strategies,” Shi reported. – “Second, this approach mimics the dual way of the human visual system, allowing you to make decisions without full clarity of the image. Chip provides fresh improvement directions in autonomous driving and defence sectors. It is able to meet any of the most hard problems we face present by paving the way for many fresh applications."

Visual perception terminals in intelligent systems process immense amounts of data and must be able to deal with utmost events specified as abrupt hazards while driving, crucial changes in lighting erstwhile entering tunnels and intense disturbances of light strength at night.

Traditional visual chips frequently neglect or experience delays in these utmost scenarios due to limitations in energy consumption and capacity.

CBKIM scientists reported that their solution was inspired by the human visual system. It analyses visual information along 2 paths: 1 to know and the another to respond quickly.

When explaining the difference between the chips, scientists gave an example of approaching us flying objects – we avoid them subconsciously, seeing barely any unexpected movement “the corner of the eye”. And this is how “天眸芯 works” (TianMuXin). conventional device imagination chips must usually “see clearly” before deciding.

Of all the information collected by the imagination sensor, “天眸芯” (TianMuXin) uses color, intensity, precision and resolution in a way oriented to knowledge.

In turn the spatial difference, time difference and velocity are utilized in the action-oriented way to accomplish a fast reaction.

According to Dr. Wang Taoyi, a associate of the CBKIM investigation team, the chip reached 0.1 milliseconds of hold in autonomous driving. And that's one-300 of the delays observed for the current sensors in autonomous driving.

Chip “天眸芯” (TianMuXin), the first in the planet of this type, opens fresh ways of developing systems based on artificial intelligence, and utilized in autonomous driving, robotics, unmanned (driving, floating, flying) and others.
