How embodied intelligence moves from "active" to "agile"

2025-09-09   

Robot services are becoming increasingly common in daily life, but currently they still need to improve in terms of power accuracy and control capabilities. Some robots will squeeze and deform the mineral water bottle during the process of twisting the lid, and if they want to pick up fragile objects such as eggs and cakes, they need to replace a component. The core key technologies and components of embodied intelligence currently face many challenges in industrialization. ”At the 2025 Enterprise Innovation Rongtonghui Real Intelligent Robot Core Components Special Event held recently, Chen Xiaodong, co-founder of Zhongguancun Rongzhi Special Robot Industry Alliance, said that the current robot perception accuracy still needs to be continuously improved, the function, response speed and flexibility of executive components need to be balanced, and the computing power, energy efficiency and cost of edge computing still need to be optimized. These are the key issues that lie between robots and the physical world. How to better solve the problems of inflexibility and excessive force in robot interaction with the physical world, and provide capabilities and services that match human expectations? The attending experts discussed the theme of "tackling core technologies, agile and embodied intelligence". Currently, robots have strong capabilities in vision and hearing, such as facial recognition, semantic recognition, etc., but they still have a weakness in touch. The key components related to touch have become one of the important innovation and entrepreneurship directions of concern in the industry. According to relevant experts, there are currently over a dozen solutions that empower agile operations, ranging from intelligence that can control its own behavior to intelligence that can flexibly adapt to environmental requirements. In the data-driven era, algorithms are becoming increasingly important. The ability of robots to interact needs to be learned through continuous interaction with the environment. In the past year, robot touch has been developing. Robots capable of playing Guzheng have deeply integrated visual, auditory, and tactile modalities. Zhuoyide robots have demonstrated training results from serving tea and pouring water to playing table tennis, while Galaxy General Motors has used billions of data to achieve the ultimate in robot grasping. From grasping hard objects, to controlling the force to grasp soft objects, and then to being able to manipulate objects, this is the path for robots to continuously develop their tactile sense towards higher levels. The attending experts believe that in order to do a good job in tactile modeling, it is necessary to conduct continuous interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research around common key issues. While developing robot tactile perception, it is also necessary to enhance its ability to make precise decisions. The core of embodied intelligence lies in the intelligent agent utilizing advanced sensing technology and data processing algorithms to interact in real-time with the physical environment, capturing information, parsing contexts, and making precise decisions. Taking agricultural robots as an example, selective harvesting is an unsolved bottleneck in robotics technology worldwide. ”Professor Li Wei from the School of Engineering at China Agricultural University said that the working environment in agriculture is complex, requiring robots to recognize non structural environments while also analyzing various agricultural products. Force control not only needs to meet the job requirements, but also cannot cause irreversible damage to fruits and vegetables. Li Wei introduced that to solve this problem, his team has developed a rigid flexible coupling harvesting end effector. The team optimized the finger design of the robot to minimize contact areas while completing tasks, assisting in the practical application of the picking robot. As embodied intelligence moves from the laboratory to reality, its enormous market potential will bring profound innovation and change to various industries. Currently, China has a relatively complete robot supply chain, and its localization capabilities in motors, sensors, and AI chips are rapidly improving. Industry insiders believe that the "intelligence" of robots is deeply rooted in their "body". Without sensitive facial features and flexible muscles, it is difficult to achieve agile and reliable intelligence. In order for embodied intelligent robots to achieve deep interaction with the physical world, the role of core components is irreplaceable. The autonomous controllability and breakthrough performance of components such as motors, sensors, and AI chips are the key to the development of embodied intelligent robot industry. In order to promote technological innovation, improve the tactile performance and scale application level of robots, and reduce costs, the China Association for Science and Technology actively organizes innovative explorations in embodied intelligence technology innovation, industrial development, scene applications, and other aspects, promoting the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation. The special event on the core components of intelligent robots held by Enterprise Creation Integration continues to leverage the leading role of experts and scholars, promote the driving effect of excellent solutions, gather scientific and technological achievements, industry demands, scene resources and other elements, collaborate to solve technical problems, provide customized and specialized services, and help robots achieve deep interaction with the physical world.
