Alibaba launches new AI model for robots

What is the news?

Alibaba has introduced a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) model, which has been specially designed to make robots operational and intelligent. This model has been named ‘Rinbrain’. The company says that with this, robots will be able to understand the things around them better. Big tech companies no longer want to limit AI to screens only, but are moving towards using it in the real world.

What does Rinbrain do and how does it work?

The RinBrain model has been developed by Alibaba’s research unit Damon Academy. This helps the robot to recognize things, understand the place and respond in the right way. A demo video showed the robot identifying fruits and placing them in a basket. This work looks simple, but behind it complex technology of seeing, thinking and moving hands and legs works, which is necessary for robots in real environment.

Global race in physical AI intensifies

Robotics is now considered an important part of physical AI, which also includes self-driving cars and industrial machines. China has given strategic priority to this region. American companies are also not behind. Companies like Nvidia, Google DeepMind and Tesla are investing heavily in robotics. Experts believe that this sector can grow very rapidly in the coming years.

Open source strategy and China’s rise

Alibaba has decided to keep RinBrain open source so that developers can easily use it. This has been the company’s old strategy. China is already considered strong in humanoid robotics, due to its capacity for large-scale manufacturing. Better AI models and manufacturing power combined could put China ahead in robot deployment, shifting the global tech balance.
