- 1China's embodied AI robots move from lab to real jobsโผOut of the robot classroom: China's embodied AI takes on real-world jobs
Chinese state media is highlighting the country's push in embodied AI, robots that learn tasks and then carry them out in real workplaces rather than staying in research settings. The report points to machines moving out of demonstration classrooms into practical jobs in industry and services, part of China's broader effort to lead in humanoid and industrial robotics.
- 2Open-Source Edge Inference Engine Runs Large AI Models on Robots 10.7x Fasterโ10.7x Faster: This Open-Source Edge-Side Inference Engine Enables Robot Bodies to Run Large Models Without Lag
A new open-source edge-side inference engine reportedly runs large AI models up to 10.7 times faster directly on robot hardware, eliminating the lag typically caused by sending computations to the cloud. The claim has drawn attention among developers interested in embodied AI, since on-device inference would allow robots to react in real time while keeping costs and latency down. Details on benchmarks and hardware compatibility remain limited so far.
