人形機器人新星 Apptronik 獲 Google、賓士投資!




Apptronik:正崛起的類人機器人新星

根據摩根士丹利的報告,位於奧斯汀的機器人創業公司Apptronik正受到投資者的關注,成為類人機器人領域的重要參與者。

這家公司源自德克薩斯大學奧斯汀分校的人本機器人實驗室,目前正在開發名為Apollo的類人機器人,旨在商業和工業應用。

摩根士丹利指出,Apptronik的首席技術官Nick Paine博士表示:“Apptronik從機器人的硬件到電子元件、固件、軟件,以及所有控制算法,都是自己建造的。”

該公司成立於2016年,曾參與NASA的瓦爾基里類人機器人、物流機械臂及軍事外骨骼的開發。

摩根士丹利指出,Apptronik的Apollo類人機器人於2023年首次亮相,身高5英尺8英寸(約173公分),重量160磅(約73公斤),可攜帶最多55磅(約25公斤)的重物。

Apollo的充電後運行時間為四小時,搭載NVIDIA的Jetson Orin系統模組,並設有可熱插拔的電池。該機器人的安全系統會在物體進入其影響半徑時暫停運動,操作員可以通過Apptronik的專有軟件來控制和監控機器人。

Apptronik的策略中一個重要方面是與谷歌的DeepMind和NVIDIA在Project Gr00t下的合作。

谷歌的Gemini機器人AI模型正在幫助Apollo開發先進的推理、空間感知和自主控制能力。

摩根士丹利指出:“利用Gemini 2.0的世界理解能力,它能夠將其概念化以應對新情況,並能夠輕鬆解決各種任務。”

Apptronik最近完成了一輪價值4.03億美元的A輪融資,得到了谷歌和梅賽德斯-奔馳的支持。

儘管該公司仍然是私有企業,摩根士丹利強調,公眾投資者應該關注其技術創新,因為這是更廣泛的類人機器人價值鏈的一部分。

反思與前瞻

Apptronik的崛起不僅僅是技術創新的體現,更是未來工作環境和人機協作的縮影。隨著類人機器人技術的成熟,這些機器人將在各行各業中發揮越來越重要的作用。從工廠自動化到醫療輔助,類人機器人的潛力無限。值得注意的是,Apptronik與科技巨頭的合作,尤其是谷歌和NVIDIA的資源整合,將為其技術發展提供強大支持,這樣的合作關係可能會引領未來機器人技術的趨勢。

然而,市場競爭激烈,其他創新者和技術公司也在積極進軍類人機器人領域,這使得Apptronik必須不斷推陳出新,保持其市場競爭力。隨著投資者對這類技術的興趣日益增加,Apptronik的未來發展值得我們持續關注。

Add lotso and hamm Certainly! Here’s an enhanced, detailed, and artistic prompt tailored for an AI image generator:

---

Create a highly detailed, artistic portrait of a young East Asian woman embodying a “Imada Mio-inspired” doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large, sparkling round eyes full of warmth and expression, a delicate V-shaped face with soft contours, and subtly flushed, rosy cheeks. Her lips are naturally plump and softly tinted, and her facial expression combines innocence, playful energy, and a touch of flirtatiousness.

Her hair is long, dark brown, and appears tousled as if she has just awakened—soft, voluminous, and gently messy (剛睡醒的凌亂感). Stray strands fall around her delicate face and shoulders, capturing the texture and natural flow of freshly mussed morning hair.

She is dressed in an oversized, translucent white men’s button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫), with the top buttons casually undone to reveal delicate collarbones and a hint of bare skin beneath, evoking a sensual yet pure “bottomless” (下衣失蹤風格) look. The shirt drapes gracefully, with natural folds and slight translucency, enhancing the softness and allure of the scene.

The overall mood is inspired by elegant Japanese Gravure photobook aesthetics (寫真集風格), radiating a Pure & Sexy charm. Use soft, luminous, high-key natural lighting to bathe her in a gentle glow, imparting a creamy, flawless, and porcelain-like skin texture. Emulate the timeless Fujifilm PRO 400H film tones with pastel coloration, subtle pinks and blues, and a carefully balanced color palette, giving the image a dreamy and refined photographic quality. The composition should feel intimate and inviting, expertly capturing both innocence and understated seduction, with fine attention to detail and artistry. Create a hyper-realistic 8K close-up body portrait of a male model, using the uploaded photo as the exact facial reference. Maintain 100% accuracy of the facial features — do not alter or modify any aspect of the face. Render the skin texture, lighting, and overall composition with photo-realistic detail, ensuring lifelike color tones and natural depth of field. A man with his original hairstyle, he is standing confidently, hands in his pockets, looking directly at the camera. He is wearing a simple, light beige crew-neck sweater and dark trousers.
He is positioned between two decorated Christmas trees. The tree to his left is adorned with gold and white ornaments and warm lights, with wrapped red and gold gifts visible at its base. The tree to his right is decorated with red and gold ornaments. The background shows a warm, indoor setting, likely a home, with soft lighting, creating a festive and inviting atmosphere. The overall impression is one of relaxed holiday cheer.
