想象一下未来：清晨，一台看护机器人温柔地将家里的老人扶下床，帮他们穿戴整齐；清洁机器人穿梭在孩子 的房间，将散落的玩具放回书架，把脏衣服收进洗衣篮；工厂里，一双灵巧的机械手，正从第一个脆弱的元件 开始，组装着下一代智能手机。 这并非天马行空的幻想，而是我们正在加速奔赴的现实。 就在刚刚到来的 2026年， 《科学美国人》（ Scientific American ） 杂志用其 首期封面文章 ，为我们描 绘了这样一幅人机共存的蓝图。 该杂志 是 全球历史最悠久、影响力最深远的科普杂志之一 ，自 1845 年创 刊以来 ， 在科研界、教育界和科普领域均享有极高声誉。它不仅是科学传播的标杆，更是连接顶尖科学家与 普通读者的重要桥梁。 文章作者深入探访了全球顶尖的机器人研究中心 —— 斯坦福机器人中心 ，试图回答一个终极问题：当机器人 走出井然有序的工厂，进入我们混乱、不可预测的日常生活时，最大的障碍究竟是什么？ 答案或许出乎很多人的意料，并非算力，也非视觉，而是 —— 触觉 。 文 章 中 提 到 ， 即 便 是 像 特 斯 拉 Optimus 机 器 人 在 2024 年 演 示 的 空 中 抓 网 球 ， 也 ...

Core Insights - The year 2025 marks a significant shift in the perception and utilization of robots, transforming them from high-tech tools to accessible DIY projects for enthusiasts [1] - Robots are increasingly being integrated into social events, such as weddings, where they serve as entertainment and even surpass human performers in cost [2][4] - The rise of DIY robotics and modification communities is leading to innovative uses of robots, including personalized performances and interactive experiences [5][12] Group 1: Market Trends - Robots are now being used in wedding ceremonies, with a "robotic honor guard" commanding fees that can exceed thousands of yuan, making them more expensive than human performers [2][4] - The rental market for robots is expanding, with services available in both China and the U.S., indicating a growing acceptance and demand for robotic entertainment [4] Group 2: DIY Robotics and Innovation - Enthusiasts are modifying existing commercial robots or building new ones from scratch, utilizing open APIs and SDKs to create customized experiences [4][12] - The emergence of affordable hardware and software tools, such as Raspberry Pi and open-source models, is democratizing robotics, allowing more individuals to engage in robot creation and modification [12][14] Group 3: Cultural Impact - Robots are becoming social media sensations, with examples like Rizzbot gaining millions of followers and engaging in humorous interactions, showcasing the potential for robots to become influencers [11] - The cultural narrative around robots is shifting from fear of a "robot uprising" to a more playful and entrepreneurial approach, where robots are seen as tools for entertainment and creativity [9][17]

专题：财经年会2026：预测与战略暨2025全球财富管理论坛 专题：财经年会2026：预测与战略暨2025全球财富管理论坛 《财经》年会2026：预测与战略暨2025全球财富管理论坛于2025年12月18-20日在北京举行。优必选创 始人、董事会主席兼首席执行官周剑指出，当前制造业中仍存在大量传统工业机械臂、协作机械臂无法 覆盖的"柔顺制造"场景，尤其是汽车装配总装线、零配件工厂等领域，简单、枯燥、重复的劳动仍依赖 海量人力。 他透露，今年已走访70多家工厂，发现不少工人需承担频繁弯腰、搬运15-20公斤重物等高强度劳动， 长期下来对身体造成较大负担；部分叉车司机、分拣工等岗位工作内容单一，年轻一代劳动者意愿偏 低，这些都为形机器人提供了广阔的应用空间。 在他看来，与轮式机器人相比，人形机器人在复杂场景中具备独特优势。在吉利极氪等车企工厂的狭窄 工位、楼梯穿越等场景中，人形机器人展现出更强的避障能力和地形适应性，目前已能承担智能搬运、 分拣、质检等核心任务。周剑强调，在具身智能世界模型完全落地前，人形机器人在结构化工业场景中 的适配性已得到验证，成为缓解工人劳动强度、填补岗位缺口的重要力量。 "我一直相信人类 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent announcement of Amazon's plan to lay off up to 30,000 employees has sparked significant discussion about the impact of AI on employment, contrasting the situation in China where major companies are still in expansion mode [1][2][6]. Group 1: Amazon's Layoff Plan - Amazon's layoff plan, the largest since the financial crisis, involves 14,000 officially reported layoffs, but reports suggest the number could reach 30,000, nearly 10% of its 350,000 white-collar employees [2][4]. - The layoffs are framed by Amazon's CEO Andy Jassy as a correction to overhiring during the pandemic, despite the company's strong performance, with Q3 2025 revenue up 13% to $180.2 billion and net profit up 39% to $21.2 billion [2][9]. - The layoffs are seen as a strategic restructuring to reallocate resources towards expensive generative AI initiatives, potentially benefiting companies like Nvidia [5][9]. Group 2: AI's Role in Employment - AI's development is cited as a factor giving Amazon the confidence to reduce its workforce, with Jassy indicating that AI efficiency improvements would lead to fewer labor needs [5]. - Other companies, such as Chegg and Salesforce, have also linked layoffs directly to AI, with Chegg cutting 45% of its workforce and Salesforce eliminating 4,000 customer service positions [5]. - The narrative around AI in the U.S. emphasizes efficiency and profit maximization, often at the expense of social responsibility, leading to a focus on "AI replacing humans" [9][17]. Group 3: Comparison with China - In contrast to the U.S., Chinese companies have not experienced large-scale layoffs due to AI, with many, like Alibaba, announcing plans for significant hiring [6][10]. - The Chinese approach to AI emphasizes social value and empowerment rather than solely profit, with companies like iFlytek focusing on enhancing the skills and income levels of the general workforce [10][15]. - The differences in AI development paths between the U.S. and China reflect broader cultural and market choices, with the U.S. prioritizing elite tools and efficiency, while China focuses on inclusive empowerment [17][24].
