An interactive robot called "Stargazer," developed by a team at the University of Toronto, uses a seven-motor robotic arm to drive a camera and autonomously track its subject, acting as a personal photographer for video creators. It connects to ChatGPT-3 and Microsoft Azure Speech-to-Text speech recognition and can understand instructions such as high-angle shots and tight framing. It is currently used mainly for testing in teachers' instructional video recording. The team's next step is to improve instruction recognition accuracy and extend the technology to drones or wheeled robots.
Researchers from the University of Oxford in the UK and Ochanomizu University in Japan interviewed 65 AI experts and predicted that in 10 years about 39% of household chores may be completed by automated programs, with time spent buying daily necessities possibly cut by nearly 60% and house cleaning saving 46% of time. The report also noted that only 28% of caregiving work such as education, accompanying children, and caring for the elderly can be automated, and highly automated households may face privacy issues.
Baidu, together with Xiaodu Technology, has launched a new-generation Xiaodu delivery robot. Built on the PaddlePaddle Wenxin large model and the Wenxin PLATO open-domain dialogue large model, it provides contactless delivery and multimodal interaction for hotel scenarios. The robot uses dual-fusion positioning and navigation combining laser and vision, a suspension damping scheme, a dual-compartment design offering 50L of storage space, a 21.5-inch advertising screen, and 41 types of expressions.
At the 3rd China International Service Robot Innovation and Development Conference, Shi Wenhua, Vice President of Technology at Yunson Intelligent, presented a full-scenario intelligent service solution centered on AI service robots. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Red Star Macalline Holding, the company builds smart mall, smart building, and smart community solutions, supported by an integrated scheduling and management platform. It holds more than 100 related invention patents, and its products have been applied in scenarios such as mall shopping guidance, exhibition hall tours, and government services.
The ARCAM robotic system from French startup augmented robotics uses a Universal Robots UR10 cobot, a dedicated controller, and software to control broadcast cameras, with a payback period of just 7 months. The UR10 has a payload of 10 kg and a reach of 1,300 mm, and operators can define waypoints via joystick to create loops. The system has been deployed in TV studios in China, the US, France, and other countries, and AR+ is partnering with Panasonic to sell the complete solution in Europe.
Chuangxin Hulian's medical service robot "Xiaoxin" (the name can be customized) is designed for hospital inquiry and guidance scenarios. The robot has a humanoid design, stands about 1.5 meters tall, and consists of three parts: head, body, and base. The test unit uses an ABS engineering plastic shell, and the manufacturer says an aluminum alloy shell can be customized on request; its "face" features an 8-inch LCD screen that displays virtual expressions to bring the human-machine distance closer.
