Scientists at Stanford University in the US have unveiled HumanPlus, a humanoid robot capable of mimicking and learning human behaviors by observing their movements. This development aligns with the growing trend of humanoid robots in the tech industry. HumanPlus can perform tasks such as playing the piano, boxing, and table tennis.
The robot is based on Unitree’s H1 model and uses a single RGB camera to record and replicate human movements in real-time. It takes 40 hours of observation to learn a new task, which it can then execute step-by-step. Standing 1.65 meters tall, the prototype has an open-source design that allows for future modifications to its functionality for different tasks. The researchers have made a repository of their work available on GitHub for anyone interested in building a similar model.
The cost of building a HumanPlus robot is significant, estimated at around $107,945 for a working model, including parts from various companies. The development is part of a global movement where humanoid robots are becoming increasingly prominent, with companies like Tesla using them in their factories and research into creating machines that can drive cars underway in countries like Japan and the US.
In conclusion, the advancement of technology in humanoid robots opens up exciting possibilities for innovation and integration into various industries for improved capabilities and efficiency.
