    AgiBot's 110 Expedition A3 humanoid robots dance together on stage, setting a Guinness World Record

    AgiBot organized 110 Expedition A3 humanoid robots to complete a group dance challenge at the Jinan Yellow River International Convention and Exhibition Center, with a Guinness World Records adjudicator presenting the certification on site. The challenge relied on the self-developed LinkBots group control and scheduling system to uniformly manage motion trajectories, action timing, and formation changes, combined with UWB centimeter-level fusion positioning and 5G/WiFi dual-mode communication to achieve millisecond-level synchronization, and supports fault isolation and empty-slot avoidance. These robots will subsequently enter subway stations, scenic areas, and other settings to take part in information guidance, patrol assistance, and cultural tourism performances.

    The Computing Power Battlefield Behind AI Device Innovation: How Cloud-Edge-Device Collaboration and Super Nodes Support Embodied AI Robots

    At the CEIC exhibition, embodied AI robots demonstrated progress from single actions to multi-step tasks, relying on cloud-edge-device collaborative scheduling: motion control and safe obstacle avoidance stay local, task understanding and complex planning are handled by the edge or cloud, and super nodes accelerate multi-chip collaborative inference through high-bandwidth interconnects. At the CGC conference, GCC released 10 industry consensus outcomes, 9 group standards and technical specifications, and awarded AIDC certification to 14 intelligent computing data centers under the first batch of 7 organizations, with a cumulative IT power scale of about 1.45 GW.

    ROS2 Communication Programming in Practice: Topics, Services, Actions, and QoS Usage

    The article systematically explains how to write and choose between the three ROS2 inter-node communication methods—topics, services, and actions—and provides example code in C++ and Python for publishers, subscribers, service servers, and action servers. It focuses on three QoS parameters: depth, reliability, and history policy, and points out that when publisher and subscriber reliability settings are incompatible, QoS silently degrades, dropping data without reporting an error. Finally, it lists common problems such as topic type mismatches, request queuing caused by time-consuming service callbacks, and unfilled message timestamps, along with troubleshooting commands.
