还记得那个穿着「Lululemon」紧身衣、主打温柔陪伴的家用人形机器人 NEO 吗？ 上次聊到它时，大家还在吐槽其「远程操控」的隐私安全问题，调侃每个机器人的背后可能都是一个「印度小哥」。 那么这一次是「瑜伽服」下的真功夫，还是只存在于 Demo 里的「剪辑魔法」呢？不管技术落没落地，热度已经先爆表了。到截稿时间，官方推文浏览量 已突破 500 万。 昨天，1X 公司带着它的全新「大脑」亮相：1X World Model。这一次，NEO 似乎准备把「背后的操作员」给解放了。 简单来说，现在的 NEO 不再只是死记硬背动作，它学会了像人一样「想象」。通过观看海量的网络视频和人类第一视角的实操录像，它理解了物理世界 是如何运作的：东西掉了会下落，门是可以推开的。 他们把类似 Sora 的视频生成技术装进了 NEO 的脑子里，接到指令时，它会先在脑海里生成一段「自己成功完成任务」的视频，然后倒推身体该怎么动， 才能把这段想象变成现实。 不过，官方博客中也表示，有时候会出现「脑子学会了，手没学会」的情况：脑补出的视频很完美，但实际动作可能会抓空。 家庭机器人要真正走进现实环境，必须具备常识性的行为能力以及对物理世界 ...

机器之心编辑部 还记得那个穿着「Lululemon」紧身衣、主打温柔陪伴的 家用人形机器人 NEO 吗？ 上次聊到它时，大家还在吐槽其「远程操控」的隐私安全问题，调侃每个机器人的背后可能都是一个「印度小哥」。 昨天，1X 公司带着它的全新「大脑」亮相： 1X World Model 。这一次，NEO 似乎准备把「背后的操作员」给解放了。 简单来说，现在的 NEO 不再只是死记硬背动作，它学会了像人一样「想象」。通过观看海量的网络视频和人类第一视角的实操录像，它理解了物理世界是 如何运作的：东西掉了会下落，门是可以推开的。 他们把类似 Sora 的视频生成技术装进了 NEO 的脑子里，接到指令时，它会先在脑海里生成一段「自己成功完成任务」的视频，然后倒推身体该怎么动， 才能把这段想象变成现实。 不过，官方博客中也表示，有时候会出现「脑子学会了，手没学会」的情况：脑补出的视频很完美，但实际动作可能会抓空。 那么这一次是「瑜伽服」下的真功夫，还是只存在于 Demo 里的「剪辑魔法」呢？不管技术落没落地，热度已经先爆表了。到截稿时间，官方推文浏览量 已突破 500 万。 看来，在经历了 AI 时代各式各样炫酷 Dem ...

Core Viewpoint - The rapid development of humanoid robots, exemplified by Xiaopeng's IRON, raises questions about their capabilities and societal implications, particularly regarding their human-like appearance and functionality [1][3][20]. Group 1: Product Features and Development - Xiaopeng's humanoid robot IRON features a height of 178 cm and a weight of 70 kg, designed with a flexible fiber covering and a structure mimicking human anatomy [3][5]. - The robot's walking ability, which resembles a human's "catwalk," is a significant advancement, although the underlying technology is not considered groundbreaking within the industry [5][7]. - IRON's design includes movable joints in the shoulders and waist, enhancing its human-like movement, which is a departure from traditional robots that lack such features [7][20]. Group 2: Market Position and Applications - The initial application for IRON is as a sales assistant in car dealerships, highlighting its role in marketing rather than performing complex tasks [9][20]. - The rental market for humanoid robots has seen a drastic price drop, indicating a potential oversupply and raising questions about their practical applications beyond entertainment [10][12]. - Current uses for humanoid robots include performing at events and serving as customer service representatives, but their functionality in household tasks remains limited [12][13]. Group 3: Industry Challenges and Future Prospects - The humanoid robot industry faces challenges in achieving practical applications, with many robots still seen as novelty items rather than functional tools [10][18]. - The development of humanoid robots is driven by the need for market differentiation and the potential for high-value applications, despite current limitations in their capabilities [20][30]. - The expectation is that humanoid robots could eventually perform 40%-50% of tasks currently done by humans, but significant technological advancements are still required [30][31].

Group 1 - The article discusses the current state of humanoid robots in China, highlighting their limitations and the gap between public expectations and actual capabilities [4][5][6] - Despite the hype surrounding humanoid robots, many of them are often non-functional or require remote control, leading to a perception of them as mere entertainment rather than practical tools [4][5][6] - The industry has seen significant investment, with humanoid robot companies in China securing over 60% of global funding, indicating strong interest from investors despite the challenges [7][8] Group 2 - The article notes that many humanoid robots are primarily used for demonstrations and performances rather than practical applications, with sales to individual consumers being limited due to high costs and safety concerns [14][16] - The rental market for robots has emerged, with companies renting out robots for events, which has become a more viable business model compared to direct sales [18][21] - The narrative around robots has been shaped by media and public perception, with significant events like the Spring Festival Gala boosting visibility and investment in the sector [22][28] Group 3 - The article emphasizes that while there is a growing interest in humanoid robots, the technology is still not ready for widespread household use, with many robots struggling to perform basic tasks [26][27] - The future of robotics may not necessarily be humanoid, as other forms of robots have proven to be more effective in specific applications, suggesting a need for a shift in focus within the industry [26][27] - The article concludes that while the "iPhone moment" for robots may eventually arrive, significant technological and practical hurdles remain before robots can integrate into everyday life [28]
