机器人终于能帮人洗衣服了
量子位· 2025-07-31 06:51
henry 发自 凹非寺 量子位 | 公众号 QbitAI 打拳、跳舞、跑马拉松……"不务正业"的机器人终于能帮人洗衣服了! 刚刚,Figure公司创始人Brett Adcock发布了一段Figure.02机器人在家中洗衣服的演示视频。 视频里,机器人半蹲,双手协作,左手拿着衣篓,右手一件件将衣服放进洗衣机,中途还不时调整衣物的位置。 据Adcock表示,这套动作已经在办公室里连续测试了一个月,而这次是机器人首次在真实家庭环境中完成这一任务! 从之前的宝马车间到分拣流水线,再到家里的洗衣房,行业标杆Figure终于"登堂入室",实现了真正的工业和家用场景操作。 那么,Figure到底做了什么? 洗衣服这件"小事" 对于机器人来说,洗衣服这项任务可以分为两个层面: 就像开头Adcock提到的,搭载Helix的Figure.02在办公环境跑了一个月后才在家庭环境中落地,这就体现出任务场景(task environment) 之于机器人这类智能体的重要性。 在工业场景下,机器人面对的是 结构化、重复、确定的任务 。像装配零件、搬动物体这样的任务,都具备清晰、可控的操作流程。 同时,工业场景中 物体和设备的位置都相对 ...
