呢部人形機械人48小時內學識行路

人類通常要花足足一年時間先學識企立同行第一步,但英國一間公司Humanoid研發嘅人形機械人HMND 01 Alpha Bipedal,喺組裝完成後短短兩日內已經行得穩穩陣陣,呢個成就喺機械人界通常要用幾個星期甚至幾個月先做到。

由設計開始到完成原型,呢部機械人只用咗五個月就搞掂,好明顯快過業界平均18至24個月嘅時間。

研發團隊用咗Nvidia嘅Isaac Sim同Isaac Lab,以虛擬強化學習嘅方法,喺兩日內模擬咗相等於19個月嘅傳統行走訓練時間。當Alpha第一次企穩企喺自己兩隻腳上,佢已經透過模擬吸收咗數以百萬秒計嘅「經驗」。

Alpha身高179厘米,能夠承載15公斤重量,佢嘅模組化手部設計可以換成五指靈巧嘅手掌,或者簡單嘅夾具;同時配備相機、深度感應器同咪高峰,令佢能夠感知周遭環境。

Humanoid嘅創辦人兼CEO Artem Sokolov表示:「HMND 01係設計嚟應付工業同家庭環境嘅真實挑戰。製造業面對高達27%嘅勞動力短缺,生產線出現明顯缺口,而有數百萬人從事體力勞動或重複性工作,機械人可以提供實質支援。」

佢補充話,喺家居環境,呢啲機械人可以幫助長者或者行動不便人士,協助搬動物件、協調動作同日常活動。

Alpha可以直線行路、轉彎、蹲低、跳躍、側行、跑步,甚至可以同人互動、操作物件,仲能同其他機械人協調合作。佢遇到推撞時亦可以自我平衡。

公司強調,Alpha嘅模組化設計方便未來升級,用家甚至可以簡單換手臂或者換「衫」就完成升級。

評論與啟示

Alpha機械人嘅快速學習能力,顯示出虛擬強化學習同模擬技術喺機械人發展上嘅巨大潛力。過去機械人嘅行走訓練多數耗時長、成本高,呢次Humanoid嘅做法大幅縮短開發時間,為機械人產業帶來革命性突破。

對香港嚟講,呢種技術尤其有價值。香港面對人口老化同勞動力短缺問題,未來若能引入此類靈活智能嘅助理機械人,將大大改善長者照顧同繁重勞動嘅挑戰。尤其係家居照顧方面,Alpha嘅多功能性和模組化設計,令佢能夠根據不同用戶需要調整,靈活度高,應用前景廣闊。

不過,機械人普及亦帶來倫理同社會問題,例如勞動替代、隱私保障同人機關係等,需要政府、企業同社會共同探討應對方案。技術固然令人振奮,但如何平衡創新同人文關懷,才是未來發展的關鍵。

總括而言,Alpha機械人係人形機械人技術嘅新里程碑,亦為香港同全球機械人應用指明咗新方向。未來幾年,隨住AI同機械人技術持續進步,生活質素或將迎來顯著提升。

Photorealistic recreation of the iconic grocery shopping scene from Home Alone, set on a snowy winter street in New York City with yellow taxis, steam rising from manholes, holiday lights on buildings, and pedestrians in the background. In the foreground, a man (his face is 100% same as the uploaded photo), smile gently, wearing a white sweater and a light beige scarf around his neck, is taking a selfie-style close-up photo. Behind him and slightly to the right, a young boy (recreated exactly like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone) with short blonde hair, wide-eyed surprised expression, wearing a red knit hat, red scarf, beige coat, gray gloves, holding two full plastic grocery bags (one with oranges visible, the other with a carton of milk and cereal boxes). The boy is standing on the snowy sidewalk looking shocked. Cinematic lighting, cold winter atmosphere, high detail, sharp focus, realistic textures on clothing and snow, film still style from 1990s holiday movie. Create a photorealistic image of uploaded photo sitting at a relaxed outdoor restaurant in London on a cool Wednesday morning in March 2026. The sky is clear, the spring air is crisp, and the city feels calm as it wakes up. She is the focal point of the shot—wearing a light scarf, gently stirring her tea while gazing off to the side with a thoughtful expression. Everything behind her, from the waiter moving about to the soft morning traffic, should fall into a smooth blur, giving the picture the effortless, candid atmosphere of a moment casually snapped on a phone. Stylised portrait in emerald green and charcoal black palette. Grayscale realism for subject, upward gaze. Sunglasses with muted emerald reflective lenses. Jacket with ornate baroque/filigree black designs, emerald hood underneath. Textured emerald-green fabric draped below. Background: dense, overlapping hand-inked patterns in emerald, charcoal, and subtle silver — radiating lines, geometric shapes, spirals, parallel contour textures, crosshatching, organic waves, dots. Bold contrast, deep blacks, glowing emerald accents. Mixed-media pop realism. Negative prompt: no cartoon, no art style, no painting, no drawings.
