Hyundai's Boston Dynamics Partners With Toyota Research Institute To Challenge Tesla's Optimus Humanoid Robot
The partnership will be co-lead by Scott Kuindersma, senior director of Robotics Research at Boston Dynamics, and Russ Tedrake, vice president of Robotics Research at Toyota Research Institute. TRI is owned by Japanese automaker Hyundai Motor-owned robotics company Boston Dynamics and Toyota Research Institute (TRI) entered into a research partnership last week, in a bid to replicate Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:TSLA) progress with its Optimus humanoid robot.
現代汽車旗下的機器人公司波士頓動力和豐田研究院（TRI）上週達成研究合作伙伴關係，旨在模仿特斯拉公司（納斯達克：TSLA）的Optimus人形機器人的進展。
What Happened: The newly announced partnership is aimed at accelerating the development of humanoid robots. The partnership will bring together TRI's Large Behavior Models and Boston Dynamics' Atlas humanoid robot, in a bid to deploy the robot across tasks by enhancing its whole-body skills.
發生了什麼：新宣佈的合作伙伴關係旨在加速人形機器人的發展。該合作將整合TRI的大行爲模型和波士頓動力的Atlas人形機器人，以期通過增強其全身技能在各項任務中部署該機器人。
"This partnership is an example of two companies with a strong research-and-development foundation coming together to work on many complex challenges and build useful robots that solve real-world problems," said Robert Playter, CEO of Boston Dynamics.
"這種合作是兩家擁有堅實研發基礎的公司的例子，他們共同致力於解決許多複雜挑戰，並打造解決現實問題的實用機器人，"波士頓動力CEO Robert Playter說。
The partnership will be co-lead by Scott Kuindersma, senior director of Robotics Research at Boston Dynamics, and Russ Tedrake, vice president of Robotics Research at Toyota Research Institute. TRI is owned by Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:TM).
合作將由波士頓動力機器人研究高級董事Scott Kuindersma和豐田研究院機器人研究副總裁Russ Tedrake共同主導。TRI隸屬於日本汽車製造商豐田汽車公司（紐約證券交易所：TM）。
Why It Matters: EV giant Tesla showcased its Optimus bots at its robotaxi unveiling event earlier this month. About 20 active robots walked through the crowd assembled at the event. Optimus poured drinks, handed out snacks, and performed dance moves.
爲什麼重要：電動車巨頭特斯拉在本月早些時候的機器征程發佈活動上展示了其Optimus機器人。約20台活躍機器人走過了在活動上聚集的人群。Optimus倒酒，分發零食，並表演舞蹈。
However, the robots were human-assisted to "some extent" to showcase the company's vision at the event, Tesla Head of Engineering For Optimus Milan Kovac said in a post on X.
然而，爲了展示公司在活動上的願景，這些機器人在某種程度上是由人類協助的，特斯拉Optimus工程主管Milan Kovac在X網站上的一篇發帖中說。
Kovac also said that the company's development on Optimus was greatly boosted by the company's work on driver assistance features deployed on its EV fleet. The same technology, Kovac said, is used on both the car and the Tesla bot, barring some details and the dataset needed to train the Optimus' AI.
Kovac還表示，公司在Optimus上的開發受到了公司在電動車車隊上部署的駕駛員輔助功能的極大推動。Kovac說，相同的技術被用於汽車和特斯拉機器人，除了一些細節和訓練Optimus AI所需的數據集。
In July, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the EV company would have "genuinely useful" humanoid robots in low production for use within its factories next year. The company will "hopefully" increase production for other customers in 2026, he said.
特斯拉CEO埃隆·馬斯克於七月表示，電動汽車公司將在明年在其工廠內使用"真正有用"的人形機器人進行小規模生產。他說，該公司將"希望"在2026年增加爲其他客戶的生產。
