Embodied AI Takes a Leap Forward: National-Provincial Jointly BuiltInnovation Center Unveils Tiangong Open-Source Plan
Beijing,November 11, 2024 – The National-Provincial Jointly Built Embodied Intelligence Robotics Innovation Center today announced the Tiangong Open-Source Plan, marking a significant milestone in its development. The center, established a year ago, showcased its achievements and committed to open-sourcing itstechnological advancements to accelerate the adoption of embodied AI within the industry.
The innovation center envisions a comprehensive ecosystem for embodied intelligence robotics. This ecosystem encompasses key technology and product open-source initiatives, collaborative research and development efforts between academia and industry,the establishment of industry standards, demonstration projects for embodied AI robot applications, a dedicated embodied intelligence robotics club, and even a global competition inviting humanoid robots to participate in a marathon.
“The center aims to create a closed-loop ecosystemfor embodied intelligence robotics,” stated Xiong Youjun, General Manager of the Innovation Center. Since its official upgrade to a national-provincial joint venture, the center has become a crucial platform for driving breakthroughs in embodied intelligence technology and fostering industry collaboration.
We are dedicated to addressing key technical challenges in the development of embodiedintelligence robots, Xiong emphasized. Our focus is on continuously developing and releasing globally leading innovative products, ultimately creating a thriving ecosystem for the embodied intelligence industry.
The innovation center is currently accelerating technological breakthroughs in three key areas: the Tiangong general-purpose robot mother platform, the whole-body collaborative intelligentcerebellum platform, and the Kaiwu multi-functional embodied intelligence platform.
Tiangong, powered by the whole-body collaborative intelligent cerebellum platform, has achieved an average speed of 10 kilometers per hour in real-world testing, with a top running speed reaching a world-leading 12 kilometersper hour. Tiangong demonstrates remarkable adaptability, navigating smoothly across diverse terrains including slopes, stairs, grass, gravel, and sand.
The Kaiwu multi-functional embodied intelligence platform incorporates a body brain driven by AI large models for task planning and a digital brain poweredby digital twins. This platform enables robots to perform complex tasks in real-world environments.
The Tiangong Open-Source Plan signifies the center’s commitment to fostering open collaboration and accelerating the development of embodied intelligence technology. By sharing its technological advancements with the wider community, the center aims to empower researchersand developers to build upon its work and contribute to the advancement of this transformative field.
