Introduction : Upstream and downstream companies in the robotics industry chain have ushered in major benefits, especially higher requirements for the robot's "brain".

At present, traditional robots with "strong limbs and simple brains" can no longer meet the needs of "machines replacing people" in thousands of industries. We are eagerly looking forward to the turning point of robots from single-scene automation to complex-scene intelligence. The key to traditional robots achieving high-level intelligence is a more intelligent robot "brain". Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Guiding Opinions on the Innovation and Development of Humanoid Robots" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions"), which has brought significant benefits to upstream and downstream companies in the robot industry chain, especially putting forward higher requirements for the development of the robot "brain".

1. Industry background and enterprise rise

In this context, Shenzhen Ruoyu Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Ruoyu Technology"), a multimodal large model R&D company founded by Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) (hereinafter referred to as "HIT-Shenzhen"), has attracted widespread attention from the industry with its outstanding technical strength and forward-looking market insight. Ruoyu Technology and HIT-Shenzhen jointly established an artificial intelligence joint laboratory, forming a multi-level, multidisciplinary research team led by top experts, with in-depth research and understanding in the fields of multimodal large models, natural language processing, embodied intelligence, and large model quantization and compression.

The team is incubated by Shenzhen Ha Shen Asset Management Co., Ltd. and enjoys the school's policy support and resource guarantee. Robotics has always been a dominant discipline of Harbin Institute of Technology. The school's shareholding team provides a stable source of funds and abundant upstream and downstream resources for the team's development. The team's reliable background also provides confidence and guarantee for partners.

2. The best choice for the robot’s “brain”

Faced with opportunities and challenges, Ruoyu Technology believes that using the robot's "brain" as a landing carrier is the "best choice" for AI companies based on the new generation of multimodal large model technology. Multimodal large model technology will promote the rapid upgrade of the robot's "brain", and its evolution speed will far exceed that of the robot itself. It may surpass the technical maturity point and enter the stage of large-scale industrial landing in the next 2 to 3 years.

At present, the development of artificial intelligence technology is facing the challenge of a large number of cross-modal tasks. "Multi-modal pre-trained large models will become the infrastructure of artificial intelligence", this view has become a consensus in the industry. The large models on the market focus on improving multi-modal and multi-task capabilities, which is also an important measure of the "score" of the robot's "brain" in practical applications.

3. R&D Strength of Ruoyu Technology

In response to the many problems facing the in-depth development of the current robotics industry, Ruoyu Technology and Harbin Institute of Technology jointly developed a language large model and a multimodal large model with completely independent intellectual property rights, mastered the technology of autonomous training of language large models and multimodal large models from 0 to 1, and obtained certification from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Among them, "Ruoyu-Jiutian" topped the OpenCompass multimodal large model list for several consecutive months in its first participation in the evaluation, demonstrating the strong R&D capabilities of Ruoyu Technology.

The robot's "brain" based on the "Ruoyu-Jiutian" model demonstrates outstanding "intelligent" capabilities in multiple fields. Whether it is logical reasoning, relational reasoning, or perception, "Ruoyu-Jiutian" can accurately understand and respond to user needs, and even exceed user expectations.

4. The driving role of multimodal large model technology

Just as the "five senses" of human beings are interconnected and closely cooperate to form people's cognitive experience of the world, artificial intelligence is also developing in a similar direction. The boundaries between different data types (modalities) such as text, language, and images are gradually becoming blurred. With the rapid development of AI's perception, interaction, and generation capabilities, multimodal large model technology will promote the rapid upgrade of the robot's "brain".

Multimodal large model technology can utilize massive multimedia data to achieve in-depth understanding and generation of information in different modalities, thereby improving the robot's cognitive and creative abilities. It can utilize methods such as reinforcement learning and meta-learning to achieve rapid adaptation and optimization to different scenarios and tasks, thereby improving the robot's decision-making and execution capabilities. It can also utilize technologies such as dialogue systems and sentiment analysis to achieve understanding and response to human language and emotions, thereby improving the robot's communication and empathy abilities.

5. Future prospects of robot “brains”

The speed of evolution of the robot's "brain" mainly depends on the development speed of large-scale model technology, which in turn is determined by the growth rate of computing power and data volume. At present, both of these are showing an accelerating trend, which is driving the acceleration of the evolution of the robot's "brain".

Ruoyu Technology predicts that the maturity of robot "brain" technology will be achieved in the next 2 to 3 years, thus entering the stage of large-scale industrial implementation. By then, robots will play an important role in many fields and scenarios such as manufacturing and people's livelihood.

VI. Conclusion

The new generation of embodied intelligent robots will surely become an important development direction in the field of artificial intelligence. The issuance of the "Guiding Opinions" provides policy guidance, technical support, market space and other guarantees for the development of the humanoid robot industry, which will help promote the large-scale, high-quality and sustainable development of the entire robot industry.

In the future, Ruoyu Technology will actively respond to policy calls, strengthen technological innovation and product development, and expand the application scenarios and market space of robots. It will empower the entire industry with the robot's "brain" as the entry point, and at the same time, it looks forward to exploring the development possibilities and potential value of robots with more partners, providing new impetus and new choices for the progress and development of human society.
