Boston Dynamics founder purchases Yushu Technology humanoid robot to test technology

At the Dassault Systems 3DEXPERIENCE World Summit held in Houston, USA, Marc Raibert, the founder of Boston Dynamics, was interviewed and revealed that its AI Institute, an intelligent robot research institute, has purchased robots from Chinese robot company Yushu Technology. to conduct a competency test. Marc Raibert said that although Yushu Technology is a competitor, he believes it is very valuable to buy these robots to understand their capabilities.

He mentioned: "Our lab bought Yushu's humanoid robots and several relatively cheap small robots. Even if we are competitors, it is still very important to understand their technology." He participated in Shanghai last summer At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), at that time, he was amazed at the 27 humanoid robots displayed by Yushu Technology and communicated with Yushu's CEO, believing that their work was excellent.

Marc Raibert particularly emphasized the wave of artificial intelligence innovation in China triggered by DeepSeek. He said: "I'm very happy to see innovations like DeepSeek originated in China, but this is just the beginning. The entire AI field is still evolving, and we are not coming to an end, and there will be more technological innovations in the future."

When talking about general artificial intelligence (AGI), Marc Raibert pointed out that building hardware and software are just as important, but when to implement AGI is a complex question, and it is mixed with some hype. He believes that intelligence has many dimensions, and machines still have a long way to go to achieve complete intelligence, which is closely related to ethics and regulation, so it is difficult to predict when AGI will arrive.
