An artificial intelligence robot, programmed to exhibit high enthusiasm, went viral for its bizarre walking style, reminiscent of an elderly grandmother. Dubbed "Grandma Robot" by amused spectators, its posture and movements sparked widespread attention and amusement.

The video was filmed at the Peking University in Beijing on April 20.

On April 24, the company responsible for producing the robot responded to its newfound fame. They explained that "Grandma Robot" was a creative concept developed by Professor Zhu Songchun, the dean of Beijing University's Intelligent Science department.

The robot is designed as an open platform capable of various programmed actions such as waving, greeting, and dancing. The peculiar "grandma-style" walk is primarily focused on stability and speed, ensuring that the robot can withstand pulling or dragging without falling and can even run and perform somersaults.

Priced at around 800,000 yuan (£88432.61), this feature-packed robot represents a significant investment.

From a professional standpoint, the development of this robot marks a technological innovation. It not only possesses the basic functionalities of humanoid robots but also performs more complex programmed movements.

Furthermore, it boasts high stability and speed, capable of handling various environmental challenges. These features demonstrate its technical advantages, although the hefty price tag of 800,000 yuan is likely to be a deterrent for many consumers, as it far exceeds the average household's budget.

Professor Zhu Songchun, the brain behind this creation, is an internationally renowned expert in computer vision, statistics, applied mathematics, and artificial intelligence.

He has won the prestigious Marr Prize in computer vision three times and returned to China in 2020 to serve as the dean of the Intelligent Science department at Beijing University.

4月20日，北京大学运动会上，一款人工智能机器人“热情助阵”，因走路怪异显得魔性而走红，姿势就像一位老奶奶，被大家戏称为“机器人太奶”。
4月24日，生产该机器人的代理公司回应称，“机器人太奶”是北京大学智能学院朱松纯院长的创意，机器人是开放平台，挥手、打招呼、跳舞等都可通过编程实现，“‘太奶式走路’是因为人形机器人首先追求的是稳定和速度，拽它拖它都不会倒，可跑可空翻，配齐后售价80万左右。”
从专业角度看，这款机器人的研发无疑是一次技术上的创新。它不仅具备人形机器人的基本功能，还通过编程设计实现了更复杂的动作。此外，它还具有很高的稳定性和速度，可以应对各种环境的挑战。这些特点都显示出了它在技术方面的优势。80万的售价无疑会让许多消费者望而却步。毕竟，对于大多数家庭来说，这个价格显然超出了承受范围。
资料显示，朱松纯是国际知名计算机视觉专家、统计与应用数学家、人工智能专家，曾3次获得计算机视觉领域国际最高奖项——马尔奖，并于2020年回到中国，现任北京大学智能学院院长。
