After shocking the technology industry with ChatGPT, OpenAI quietly invested in a humanoid robot company. According to Firstpost, last weekend, the EVE produced by physical robot company 1x, supported by OpenAI, defeated Musk Tesla's Optimus robot in a humanoid robot competition. Some software functions of EVE physical robots are supported by OpenAI's ChatGPT, which means that ChatGPT can be materialized and applied in real-world business scenarios. 01 | How powerful is EVE? Bernt, CEO and Founder of 1X
Bornich stated that EVE's humanoid robot has achieved multiple technological breakthroughs and applied it in practical business. Currently, EVE's "humanoid robot security" has been deployed for two industrial sites. Unlike other robotic arms, these robots have a head, limbs, and even "emotions" that can be directly communicated through the LED panel on the head.

Bornich stated that unlike other robotic arms, these robots have a head, limbs, and even "emotions" that can be directly communicated through the LED panel on the head. With humanoid execution capabilities, the 1x flagship robot EVE integrates various technologies such as VR, AI, and intelligent navigation, giving it powerful humanoid execution capabilities, such as turning, opening doors, opening windows, and lifting objects. Currently, most robots on the market do not have such functions. It will learn automatically. The built-in automatic learning system of EVE robots can learn new actions through continuous action training. For example, if the robot encounters some obstacles during the closing process of a window, it will try to avoid them the next time. Bernt stated that the purpose of creating 1x physical robots is to help the world solve the problem of labor shortage, especially in areas such as security, prisons, and nursing homes. Currently, there are 1.1 million security personnel in the United States, and with the increase in operating costs and the continuous decrease in the birth rate, there will be a huge gap in the future. Bernt hopes that the EVE physical security robot built through 1x can achieve large-scale production in the next 5-10 years, making up for the shortage of labor. In addition to patrolling, EVE can also perform anthropomorphic operations such as opening doors, windows, and moving things. Currently, most robots on the market do not have such a function.
02 | Competition is everywhere. EVE is just a beginning. Before OpenAI, Google has applied the big model to the research and development of robots. The Google robot team has launched Robotics Transformer 1 Computer multitasking model, which enables robots to have advanced skills such as pulling out napkins, opening cans, putting items in and taking out drawers. In addition, with the help of the hardware ontology of robots, AI can have more access to external information, which also has the possibility of feeding back AI algorithms. The data accumulated by Tesla's autonomous vehicle on the highway nurtures the FSD algorithm system and provides the most basic data base. Fu Chunjiang, the head of the Humanoid Robot UBtech Robotics Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, said in an interview with Geek Park that the "humanoid" hardware form, which needs to interact with the environment, will increase the difficulty of general AI in dealing with related issues, which was not reflected in the past when dealing with visual, voice and other issues. During the six months of ChatGPT's popularity, language models have shown the potential to integrate with various industries, and the fields of education, healthcare, scientific research, and office are all experiencing a wave of artificial intelligence. The first wave of carriers to undertake AGI was software services such as search and SaaS. But the potential of this technology goes far beyond that. The combination of robots and AGI will also create new possibilities.
03 | Jingtai viewpoint: Has the robot industry ushered in a singularity moment? Robots are entities with high integration of software and hardware capabilities, requiring various technical capabilities such as multimodal perception systems, dynamic models, deep learning capabilities, and positioning and navigation. However, the core breakthrough point of robot commercialization lies in the improvement of logical thinking ability and high-level intelligent behavioral intelligent decision-making ability brought by the upgrading of core algorithms. The emergence of ChatGPT can first solve the problem of autonomous voice interaction for robots, completing skills such as context understanding, multilingual recognition, multiple rounds of dialogue, emotion recognition, and fuzzy semantic recognition, thereby achieving intelligent and humanized communication and services. The revolutionary changes brought about by ChatGPT will help the robotics industry solve the problem of outdated software algorithms and data capabilities in the past, and the injection of AI capabilities will drive the robotics industry towards a singular moment.
