Li Peigen, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering: humanoid robots working in factories still face challenges
Li Peigen, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out at the 12th Intelligent Manufacturing and Digital Innovation Forum that humanoid robots still face multiple challenges in industrial scenarios, including hardware reliability and core algorithm capabilities, and that the model training stage also faces difficulties such as insufficient data and the gap between simulated environments and real-world scenarios. He believes that humanoid robots can find application space in industrial scenarios that are dangerous or require high flexibility, but the industry needs to consider whether large-scale adoption is necessary.

[Caixin Online] In industrial scenarios, the hardware reliability and core algorithm capabilities of humanoid robots still face multiple challenges, and the model training stage also has difficulties such as insufficient data and a gap between simulated environments and real scenarios. Li Peigen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and former president of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, made the above remarks at the 12th Intelligent Manufacturing and Digital Innovation Forum hosted by Mingluo Co., Ltd. on October 23.
Humanoid robots are one of the most closely watched emerging fields. This category as a whole is still in an early stage of development and is not yet able to enter home service scenarios. Industrial scenarios, because the environment is relatively closed and processes are relatively standardized, have become one of the main application directions that humanoid robot companies have rushed into in recent years.
