Storyline: Adaptive robots steal spotlight at World AI Conference in Shanghai [Voice_over] At the World AI Conference, this is the most popular area. [Stand_up] Chen Tong, Reporter: "I’m not an AI expert, but look at the crowds. This is the place where you can discover the future." [Voice_over] A robotic host…a housekeeper…and getting tired touring the expo? [Stand_up] Chen Tong, Reporter: "What a surprise. You can find a massage master at the expo." [Voice_over] While you need to tell your human therapists whether the massage dynamics work, this robotic massager can evaluate the dynamics by tracking how your muscles react to the therapy. [Sound_bite] Han Xiaoxuan, Senior Marketing Manager, Flexiv: "We can sense the real-time force feedback from the massager. And because of that, it can help us to collect all these data and standardize all these data. " [Voice_over] Carving patterns on eggs…this robot may seem not that useful… [Sound_bite] Han Xiaoxuan, Senior Marketing Manager, Flexiv: "(We can) deploy this ability or deploy this technique to different kinds of industrial scenarios, like deburring for the car body or also for the server assembly testing, things like that." [Voice_over] These are the so-called adaptive robots. They can learn, adapt, and respond to their environment in real-time, much like humans do. The more scenarios they are being used in, the smarter they will become. Noematrix is a company that is dedicated to the development of embodied AI models for the robots. [Sound_bite] Mao Chongzhao, Vice President, Noematrix: "We can apply data and train our robots in a simulation, but we also have to know how the real world is and how the data is in the real world." [Voice_over] These kinds of robots have already been commercially used in China — for example, at factories, warehouses, restaurants and coffee shops. But the ultimate goal? Some say is going to the families. [Sound_bite] Li Tong, Founder and CEO, Keenon Robotics: "Household robots is our ultimate goal, and every bit of work we are doing is preparing for robots to go to families. It may take a long time, but it doesn’t matter. We start from basic jobs. Once robots are widely commercialized, they will have more abilities and more data. They will become stronger and become household nannies." [Voice_over] A report by Morgan Stanley says the global value of humanoid robots will reach 5 trillion US dollars by 2050. But only ten percent will go to families, most of them will still be used in industrial and commercial areas. But just like what Li said, the more these robots can learn, the stronger they will become. [Restrictions : No access Chinese mainland]
