A giant gym for robots is opening in Germany. There, trainers will work with them every day.
The world’s largest robotics research and training center will open in Germany, where human trainers will teach humanoid robots to perform everyday tasks.
The world’s largest robotics research and training center will open in Germany, where human trainers will teach humanoid robots to perform everyday tasks.
The TUM RoboGym, as reported by Interesting Engineering, is being built in collaboration between the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and robotics company NEURA Robotics.
Located near Munich Airport, the facility will cover an area of approximately 2,300 square meters and will serve as a training environment for robotic systems based on artificial intelligence, including humanoid robots.
The partners are investing $19.8 million in the training center, and NEURA Robotics intends to invest $12.8 million in robots and infrastructure.
According to researchers involved in the project, RoboGym will function as a training ground where robots will practice tasks while learning from humans.
At the training ground, the team plans to develop artificial intelligence-based methods that will allow humanoids to acquire work skills — folding boxes, assembling components, or manipulating certain objects.
Scientists and engineers involved in the project explain that robots need physical, real-world data to understand movements and interactions with objects, and this large set of movement data is currently being developed at RoboGym by human trainers.
«That’s why we need a training center where people can teach robots specific skills. In RoboGym, robots will learn general capabilities that they can then apply to specific tasks on their own,» said computer science professor Achim Lilienthal, who is involved in the project.
The facility is expected to house hundreds of robots. In addition to research, the site will also serve as a training ground for students and engineers.
As dev.ua wrote, China presented the so-called first «biomimetic robot with artificial intelligence.» It walks almost like a human, can reproduce facial expressions, maintains eye contact, and even has warm skin.
Meanwhile, LG introduced the humanoid robot CLOiD, which is supposed to perform various household chores.
