以下文章来源于快鲤鱼 ,作者赵友邦 快鲤鱼 . 创业邦旗下AGI矩阵号,寻找海内外创新性的AGI高成长公司,记录AGI商业领袖的成长轨迹。 3月9日,具身智能赛道传来一个值得玩味的信号。魔法原子宣布完成新一轮5亿元融资,投资方阵营 里出现了拓普集团、杰创智能、爱仕达等一众具备制造基础与场景资源的产业资本,天空工场创投基 金、金雨茂物等也参与其中。 值得关注的,还有一支规模达百亿级的产业生态基金,重点面向产业链上下游关键环节展开布局,整 体撬动资金规模超过105亿元。 过去很长一段时间,具身智能赛道的早期融资往往带着单点突围的色彩。因为单点路线更聚焦,创业 公司也很容易在短期内贴上技术标签,从而进一步获得资本市场的青睐。 而如今,风向正在发生偏移。公开数据显示,2025年全球人形机器人出货量已达1.8万台,其技术能 力正从"原型验证"迈向"规模可用"。 资本也越来越关注一家公司是否是全能派,是否能沿着完整路径持续搭建本体、模型、数据、场景之 间的系统能力。而魔法原子这一次超过100亿资金动态,恰好折射出这一逻辑演变。 软硬之争的背后 行业开始告别"偏科竞赛" 当下的具身智能赛道,已经显现清晰的路径分野。 部分公 ...

I'm Olaf. I like warm hugs and you are. >> I'm Sean Hollister with The Verge and today I'm toying with Olaf from Disney's Frozen.He's a walking, talking, singing robot who's been programmed by animators and trained inside an Nvidia simulation. He's the first Disney character built that way who doesn't look like a robot. And ahead of Olaf's debut at Disneyland Paris this March, I got to touch his carrot nose and peek behind the curtain.>> My new best friend. >> This isn't an AI who makes natural conversation ...
