波士顿动力劲敌推出新款人形机器人 能帮购物与人类互动精准
近日，由Mobileye CEO Amnon Shashua和前Facebook AI研究总监Lior Wolf等人创立的人形机器人公司Mentee Robotics，推出了一款名为MenteeBot的新型机器人，引起了广泛关注。这款机器人不仅能够帮助行动不便人士推购物车，而且在与人类互动时表现出微妙而又精确的反应，展现出人机协作的新高度。
在最新的一次演示中，MenteeBot展示了其在购物环境中的实用性。机器人能够礼貌地询问用户需要帮助的地方，并在得到指令后，不仅能够准确识别和抓取购物车，而且在跟随用户购物时步伐自然，表现出高度的灵活性和适应性。每当用户需要添加物品到购物车时，MenteeBot都会及时调整位置，确保不会碰撞到轮椅。
MenteeBot的这些能力得益于其先进的AI算法和实时数据处理能力，以及在NVIDIA Isaac Lab模拟器中进行的改进。这款机器人还具备出色的“3D视觉”能力，能够实时检测和分析购物环境中的各种障碍和目标。
Mentee Robotics表示，配备可拆卸电池的MenteeBot V3将于今年晚些时候发布。在此之前，MenteeBot还发布了一个新视频，展示了其在不同环境下的自然语言理解和导航、平衡控制能力。
Mentee Robotics的人形机器人产品将分为两个版本，一个面向家庭，能够通过自然语言和视觉能力快速学习新技能，另一个则面向工业场景，如物流仓库。如今，Mentee Robotics计划在2025年第一季度推出一款可量产的原型，尽管价格成谜，但公司希望市场能够负担得起。
随着这款人形机器人的推出，未来人机协作的领域将迎来新的变革，为有特殊需求的顾客提供更为便捷的服务，同时也为零售业带来创新的客户体验。

News Title: “Boston Dynamics Rival Debuts New Bipedal Robot: Shopping Companion”
Keywords: Robot, Interaction, Shopping
News Content:
A new bipedal robot designed to assist with shopping and interact precisely with humans has been unveiled by Mentee Robotics, a company founded by Amnon Shashua, CEO of Mobileye, and Lior Wolf, a former Facebook AI research director. The introduction of MenteeBot, a novel robot, has sparked widespread interest.
MenteeBot not only aids those with mobility impairments by pushing shopping carts but also exhibits subtle and precise reactions when interacting with humans, showcasing a new level of human-robot collaboration.
In a recent demonstration, MenteeBot showcased its practicality in a shopping environment. The robot politely inquires about the user’s needs and, upon receiving instructions, accurately identifies and grabs shopping carts, and maintains a natural stride while following the user, demonstrating high flexibility and adaptability. Whenever the user needs to add items to the cart, MenteeBot adjusts its position promptly to avoid collisions with wheelchairs.
These capabilities are attributed to the robot’s advanced AI algorithms and real-time data processing, as well as improvements made in NVIDIA’s Isaac Lab simulator. MenteeBot also boasts excellent “3D vision” capabilities, enabling real-time detection and analysis of obstacles and targets in the shopping environment.
Mentee Robotics plans to release the MenteeBot V3 with detachable batteries later this year. Before then, the company released a new video showcasing its natural language understanding and navigation, as well as balance control capabilities in various environments.
Mentee Robotics’ bipedal robot products will be available in two versions: one for the home, capable of rapidly learning new skills through natural language and visual abilities, and another for industrial scenarios such as logistics warehouses. The company aims to launch a mass-producible prototype in the first quarter of 2025, despite the price remaining a mystery. The company hopes the market will be able to afford its products.
The introduction of this bipedal robot promises a new era of human-robot collaboration, offering more convenient services to customers with special needs and bringing innovative customer experiences to the retail industry.
