Nvidia and other giants enter the robotics industry, and the humanoid robot industry enters the fast lane

Giants are flocking to the startup Figure, preparing to invest $675 million to promote the development of the humanoid industry. The company is working on developing a highly humanoid robot called Figure01, which looks and moves very similar to humans, heralding the imminent explosion of the humanoid robot industry.

Recently, the global technology giant announced that it will hold a conference called GTC2024 in March. At that time, the company will release breakthroughs in the fields of computing, generative AI and robotics, and will exhibit 25 robots, attracting many heavyweights in the field of robotics to attend the conference. In addition, the Opmus humanoid robot was released on February 24, demonstrating the robot's stability and smoothness during walking.

The humanoid robot industry is at a critical stage of development. Technology giants such as Tesla, Xiaopeng, and Huawei have laid out their presence in this field, leading the industry transformation. With the support of the , humanoid robots are expected to solve the universality problem and promote the rapid development of the industry. At the same time, national policies also encourage and support the development of the humanoid robot industry, which is expected to accelerate the advancement of key technologies.

Nvidia CEO said in a recent interview that the basic model of robots may be coming out soon, and we are expected to see amazing developments in five years. Nvidia is setting up an internal research group called GEAR to focus on the research of universal embodiment. They believe that in the future every mobile machine will have autonomous capabilities, and robots and intelligent bodies will be as ubiquitous as humans.

On February 19, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council held a central enterprise promotion meeting on "AI empowers industry renewal", which further promoted the development of the humanoid robot industry. Benefiting from the accelerated development of AI large models, humanoid robots have become a new track for all parties to compete.

With the participation of more technology giants, the development of the robot industry at home and abroad has entered the fast lane. According to institutional forecasts, humanoid robots are expected to open up a blue ocean market worth trillions of dollars, injecting new impetus into global economic growth.

In this new era full of opportunities and challenges, technology giants are actively investing in research and development to promote the rapid development of the humanoid robot industry.
