BAAI Unveils RoboBrain 2.0: Open-Source AI Model For Humanoids And General-Purpose Robots
BAAI has unveiled RoboBrain 2.0, an innovative open-source AI design for humanoid robotics, as part of a broader method to improve innovation. The post BAAI Reveals RoboBrain 2.0: Open-Source AI Model For Humanoids And General-Purpose Robots appeared initially on Metaverse Post.
Non-profit research study institution Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), has introduced RoboBrain 2.0, an open-source, general-purpose AI design planned for use in humanoid robots and other versatile robotic systems. According to BAAI director Wang Zhongyuan, the upgraded model shows a 17% increase in execution speed and a 74% improvement in precision compared to the previous variation, which was released 3 months earlier. The latest version features improved spatial thinking, allowing robots to more specifically determine the range between themselves and surrounding objects. In addition, its updated task planning functionality enables the autonomous breakdown of complex tasks into smaller, actionable steps, thereby improving operational precision. RoboBrain 2.0 is part of the broader Wujie model portfolio, which also consists of RoboOS 2.0– a cloud-based distribution platform for robotics AI designs– and Emu3, a multimodal AI design capable of creating and translating text, images, and video content.
BAAI Expands AI-Robotics Collaborations Amidst Strategic Push For Development In China
The integration of advanced AI designs within China’s rapidly expanding robotics sector is expected to support the broader deployment of humanoid robots, especially as the industry works to overcome limitations associated with model performance and insufficient training data, according to Wang Zhongyuan, head of the BAAI, during the institute’s annual conference in Beijing. “We hope that various stakeholders in the embodied intelligence industry will collaborate with the Zhiyuan Institute,” Wang Zhongyuan said, using BAAI’s local designation. BAAI is currently engaged in partnerships with more than 20 companies operating in the robotics space and is actively seeking additional partners to aid ongoing development efforts. As a key player in China’s research and development of open-source large language models (LLMs)– the foundational technology for generative AI systems– BAAI has also seen many of its former researchers go on to establish AI start-ups of their own. In March, the United States placed BAAI on the Entity List, effectively restricting the institute’s access to American technologies. Wang Zhongyuan described the decision as “a mistake,” and the organization has since made efforts to petition the United States government to reverse the listing. Recently, BAAI entered into a strategic agreement with the Hong Kong Investment Corporation aimed at fostering collaboration in the areas of talent development, technological innovation, and capital investment to promote growth and entrepreneurship within the AI industry.
