Jen-Hsun Huang talks with four robot ducks at the GTC conference in Berlin, demonstrating Huida’s physical AI technology and robotic application possibilities by sitting, napping and doing somersaults.
Headquartered in Santa Clara, Bay AreaHuida (NVIDIA ), the GTC conference was held in Berlin, Germany on the 21st, CEOJen-Hsun Huang Interact with the four little robotic ducks on the platform. They are asked not only to sit and stand but also to flop and perform somersaults. Huang Renxun couldn’t help but admire these cute robot ducks, and they became the center of entertainment at the technology conference.
According to Reuters, these robot ducks are called Microducks and have been developed by French robotics company Polen Robotics in collaboration with artificial intelligence platform Hugging Face. When Jen-Hsun Huang introduced robotics technology, he asked four robot ducks to come on stage and perform various activities.
From the content of the speech released by Huida, it can be seen that Huang Renxun first called the robot ducks to come to him, and he also said to them, “Be careful not to fall!” Then he asked them to sit and stand, and then ordered them to take a nap. Unexpectedly, one of the ducks seemed uncooperative, and he kept urging: “Take a nap, take a nap, you need a nap!” The duck immediately fell down, and this funny interaction brought a lot of laughter to the scene.
During the conversation, Huang Jen-hsun also asked whether the robot duck could do somersaults. After seeing the duckling complete the action, he couldn’t help but shout and praise: “You’re so cute!” He also introduced the development team to the audience and joked that the robot was sold out, and encouraged those interested to visit the website and order it.
However, these robot ducks sometimes disobey. Reuters reported that at the end of the speech, another robot duck seemed distracted and turned in the wrong direction, prompting Huang to remind him to concentrate.
Behind the duckling’s beautiful appearance is actually the physical artificial intelligence (Physical AI) technology that Huida wants to demonstrate. According to Huida, developers can use simulated environments to train robots, allowing them to learn to walk, recognize the environment, and avoid obstacles, and then apply the training results to physical robots. This method of first learning in the virtual world and then entering the real environment is also an important direction of the development of robotics technology.
At this Berlin conference, Huang also emphasized Europe’s advantages in precision manufacturing, electromechanical integration and robotics industries and introduced HUIDA’s plan to expand cooperation with European companies. Compared with large humanoid robots or industrial equipment, the four robot ducks that can walk, sit and do somersaults allow the audience to more intuitively see the possibility of artificial intelligence entering the physical world.
Summary FAQ
