Hey, this is a boring robot story. It's called DexForce, and they're training robots using virtual data to save money. No big news. 😹 — Reuters https://gigcitygeek.com/go/QG4FWBf2

Chinese startup DexForce bets on virtual data to cut humanoid training costs
At the Shenzhen offices of Chinese startup DexForce, a virtual robot repeatedly places objects on a table as the angle of its arms, the table’s colour and the objects change. The company is betting that simulated training can help solve a major challenge for the humanoid-robot industry: teaching machines to perform a wide range of real-world tasks without human assistance. This is reported by Reuters. China has developed humanoids that can outperform people in running and jumping. The harder commercial test is whether they can reliably do useful work in factories, offices and homes. Many Chinese robot makers are trying to meet that challenge by collecting large volumes of data from workers repeatedly performing tasks in real-world settings. DexForce instead relies on synthetic data generated in virtual environments to reduce costs and improve training efficiency. Chief Executive Jia Kui told Reuters the approach could accelerate a breakthrough in robot capabilities, akin to the one ChatGPT triggered after its 2022 release helped propel generative AI into the mainstream. “Trying to achieve ‘physical artificial general intelligence’ purely through real-world data collection would require 10 trillion samples … manual (data) collection for infinite human tasks is fundamentally inefficient,” – Jia Kui Jia was...

🤖 Bei DexForce in Shenzhen schicken Kunden eine CAD-Datei, die Simulation macht daraus 10.000 Trainingsdaten und nach sechs bis acht Stunden arbeitet der echte W1-Pro-Humanoid in der Fabrik. Läuft schon bei BYD und in der Chemieindustrie.
Das ist krass: Humanoide Roboter im ECHTEN Einsatz! So gut sind sie WIRKLICH schon (DexForce)

Use the force! Interesting use of kinesthetic teaching with diffusion policy. Hoping there will be more details on the exact action space and training.

Today, here in Shenzhen, I had a robot prepare a good coffee for me while telling me a story. I'm already living in 2046.

Thanks to Dexforce for the nice demo! I can't wait to try also the ice-cream maker robot...
