There are about 1.63 million robots on the planet.
The demand for robots has only grown since 2010.
Every year this demand increases by a further 15 percent due to technological evolution and the trend towards automation.
Technology continues to grow and with that the use of robots is the trend of today. Given this, the technology company Xiaomi presented its humanoid robot, the CyberOne.
Of according to a BBVA study“robotics does not aspire to replace human beings by mechanizing and automating tasks, but to find ways of more effective collaboration between robots and people”.
From domestic to industrial, these technological figures are the future. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) there were 42 thousand 041 industrial robots installed in Latin America at the end of 2017. Currently, the IFR calculates in its study World Robotics that there are about 1.63 million robots on the planet. In 2019, it’se recorded robotic population as high as 2.6 million.
Xiaomi’s new humanoid robot
Through an extensive launch event, Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, presented the new humanoid robot that wants to compete with that of Tesla, which, According to Elon Musk, it will begin production in 2023 to reach the market shortly after.
The CEO of the technology company explained that CyberOne is Xiaomi’s “first full-size humanoid robot.”
In that sense, they detailed that it was developed by Xiaomi Robotics Lab, is 1.77 meters tall and weighs 52 kilograms. Where, in comparison, Optimus, the Tesla robot, will measure 1.68 meters and weigh 56 kilograms, that is, it will be somewhat smaller, but heavier.
As Jun explained, Xiaomi’s Cyber One robot is capable of “detect emotions”, thanks to its Mi Sense system, and can move at a speed of 3.6 km/h.
In the same order, the CEO of Xiaomi explained in his presentation that it is in the development phase, but it will not be a product for marketing, at least for now, since it is very expensive to produce.
Just this week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk mentioned that the development of the robotaxi service continues and it will work everywhere, even on another planet.
The South African tycoon said last Thursday, at the company’s annual meeting of shareholders, that the system is not being designed with a launch city in mind, the way competitors have approached the concept.
“Tesla is developing a general solution for autonomous driving,” Musk said. “If you were to create some kind of randomly generated alternate Earth, our system would still work,” added the considered richest man in the world.
Also, at the meeting when Tesla’s fully autonomous driving is fully operational, Musk said owners of the tech company will have the option to use it themselves or add their cars to the robotaxi fleet to earn money when they’re not needed.
In this sense, the importance of technology in people’s lives continues to grow, but especially in many industries around the world, where the creation of robots, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, among others, is the future that is already approaching.
