人形与具身智能产业何以叩响“Scaling Law”之门?
机器人大讲堂· 2025-09-24 11:09
Core Viewpoint - The humanoid robot industry is at a critical transformation point, moving from early "theme speculation" to "pre-investment in industrial trends" as companies like Tesla and Figure begin small-scale production. The industry's non-linear growth hinges on breakthroughs in hardware cost reduction and advancements in intelligent robotics [1][3]. Group 1: Current Industry Landscape - The core contradiction in humanoid robotics is not about "whether to ship" but rather "whether to form a sustainable industrial flywheel." By the end of 2024 and early 2025, many domestic companies have completed deliveries of hundreds to thousands of units, primarily in research, education, and display sectors [1][3]. - Initial order numbers are not the key signal; the real turning point for the industry lies in the "Scaling Law moment" of the robotic brain, where intelligence improves non-linearly with data volume and model scale, breaking through the bottleneck of scenario generalization [1][3]. Group 2: Challenges to Scaling Law Moment - Two major challenges need to be addressed: high hardware costs and the lack of standardized solutions. For instance, Tesla's Optimus Gen1 has a high BOM cost, with a target to reduce it to $20,000 per unit. Key components for cost reduction include joint modules and sensors [3]. - The software side lacks a "robotic version of ChatGPT." The robotic brain must possess both "perception decision-making" and "motion control" capabilities, but current models face data challenges, including complex motion data modalities and high costs of real-world data collection [3][4]. Group 3: Technological Pathways - The "big and small brain collaboration" has become the mainstream engineering approach, with three clear paths for the evolution of large models in robotics. The dual-system layered VLA architecture is currently the optimal solution for engineering implementation [4][5]. - Figure's Helix system exemplifies this collaboration, utilizing a slow system for understanding natural language and a fast system for real-time control, enabling complex tasks in flexible manufacturing scenarios [7][9]. Group 4: Commercialization Pathways - The commercialization of humanoid robots is expected to follow a "from easy to difficult" path, starting with ToG (research and education), then ToB (industrial manufacturing), and finally ToC (household services). The ToB sector is becoming a critical battleground for breakthroughs [8][9]. - The apparel manufacturing industry is a typical case for ToB implementation, with a significant global workforce and high labor costs, yet low penetration of traditional industrial robots due to the flexibility of materials and rapid style changes [8][9]. Group 5: Investment Trends and Future Outlook - The flow of capital in the industry is shifting from a focus on hardware to software, with significant investments in embodied intelligent large models from companies like Google and NVIDIA. Domestic startups are also gaining traction in this space [11]. - The ultimate goal of the humanoid robot industry is to replicate the "non-linear growth curve" seen in sectors like electric vehicles and smartphones, with the "Scaling Law moment" of the robotic brain being the key trigger for this growth [13].

Core Insights - Figure's founder Brett Adcock released a demonstration video of the Figure.02 robot performing laundry tasks at home, marking its first operation in a real household environment after a month of testing in an office setting [1][4]. Group 1: Robot's Capabilities - The Figure.02 robot showcases its ability to perform laundry by using both hands to place clothes into a washing machine, demonstrating its task execution capabilities in a domestic setting [3][6]. - The transition from industrial environments to home settings highlights the robot's adaptability to different task environments, which is crucial for its operational success [8][14]. Group 2: Technical Aspects - The laundry task involves complex interactions, requiring the robot to manage various types of clothing and adapt to different household layouts, showcasing its advanced technical execution abilities [13][19]. - The Helix system, which includes a dual-system VLA model, enables high-speed and dexterous control of the robot's upper body, integrating visual and language processing for effective task execution [21][24]. Group 3: Task Complexity - While the demonstration illustrates the robot's ability to place clothes into the washing machine, it does not encompass the entire laundry process, which includes multiple steps such as sorting, washing, and drying [32][35]. - The approach of breaking down tasks into manageable sub-tasks is essential for the robot's learning and adaptation from controlled environments to more complex home scenarios [35]. Group 4: Recent Developments - Prior to the laundry demonstration, Figure released a demo showcasing the Figure.02's capabilities in a logistics sorting environment, achieving near-human levels of speed and reliability in processing diverse packages [38][39]. - The introduction of the F.03 battery is expected to enhance the performance and efficiency of electric-driven robots, positioning Figure as a leader in battery technology within the robotics sector [44][45].

Core Viewpoint - Figure's robot, Figure.02, has successfully demonstrated its ability to perform laundry tasks in a real home environment, marking a significant advancement from industrial applications to domestic settings [1][5][11]. Group 1: Robot's Capabilities - The demonstration video shows Figure.02 using both hands to load clothes into a washing machine, showcasing its ability to adjust the position of items during the process [2][3]. - The robot's transition from structured industrial tasks to the unpredictable nature of home environments highlights the importance of task environment adaptability for robotic systems [6][11]. - In industrial settings, robots handle structured, repetitive tasks with fixed object placements, while home environments present challenges due to their variability and lack of standardization [7][8]. Group 2: Technical Execution - The laundry task requires the robot to manage various types of clothing, necessitating advanced capabilities such as grip control, dynamic vision, object recognition, force feedback, and task planning [12][13]. - The Helix system, which includes a dual-system VLA model, enables Figure.02 to perform complex movements and control its upper body with high precision [15][17]. - The robot's ability to bend its knees and adjust its posture while loading clothes into the washing machine demonstrates a significant leap towards whole-body control [19]. Group 3: Future Developments - The current demonstration does not encompass the entire laundry process, indicating that robots will initially learn sub-tasks in controlled environments before gaining more autonomy [21]. - Following the recent demonstration, Figure has made strides in logistics with the Helix system, achieving near-human levels of speed and reliability in package handling [22]. - The introduction of the F.03 battery is expected to enhance the performance and efficiency of electric-driven robots, positioning Figure as a leader in the field [25].
