We Saw Why China Is WINNING Robots

What if the future is happening already? But most of us just don't know where to look. Welcome to Global Next China Edition. Let's discover what's next. What is that? That's a tall robot. In fact, that's the robot she told you not to worry about. Where are we, David? We are at Pashini in Shenzhen right now. And this is one of the most important places that you can find out about the future of robotics. And all I know is that there are certain buzzwords like embodied perception and embodied intelligence. And we have to find out what they mean. Let's get to it. And we are here with Dr. Suzy Wong. What do you do here at Pashini? Nice to meet you guys. I'm the product manager for the robotics application from Pashini. What should we take a look at first? I want to see it all because I don't know. It's like I've seen the robots do all these flips and dancing. But I want to know because I know you guys focus here on how robots can actually help humans and change the real world. Yeah, cool. So first one, we can notice that this is our showroom of our robots. This is our tour one robot. What is flea-flexible operation? They can touch the package. Because most of the package is soft. We don't want to hurt the item inside the package. They can also do some lab work. We can scan the QR code to figure out what's inside. So this one is tour double one. Yeah, tour double one. Like this is obviously squeezing in a light bulb. Not a lot of robots can do this, right? Yeah, exactly. This is pretty advanced stuff. So I mean, I noticed there's like maybe four cameras here. Yeah, and they have like the fisheye camera and also we also have an RGB camera. And we also have like 3D laser here. 3D laser? Later. Okay. Later here, over there. And they can notice that we can avoid obstacles. Okay. That part. So I love that you guys are wanting to push that forward because otherwise you just end up with like a hundred thousand different specialized robots. And why not have one robot that can do a hundred thousand things? Yeah, exactly. We can provide all the technologies used for the robotics. And we can provide all the sensors, data, models, robots, hands and make the robotics more professional. And you can cover all the test solutions from the different industries. So it tells you on screen. Yeah, you can notice some like sensor data. Right. And you can pressure that. And they can notice the force, pressure. So this robot can tell what is what? Because obviously these are like pretty detailed. Like an average robot probably is just gonna take a little photo and try to tell. But a lot of this stuff you don't know until you feel it. I used to think that humanoid robots just look like a human. But you guys are talking about robot means it can think like a human and it can feel and it can perceive and pressure and touch and know text textures and textiles like a human. That's actually more human than just looking like a human. In the Pacini, we want to make sure robotics can really learn the world and do the human test and also help the human. Right. Oh, here we go. Oh, yeah. So I assume this is something that they're hot. So let's just say if I were to be, I don't know, like a staff in a supermarket in China and I need to scan a bunch of things. Yeah. So in order to collect the data of my job, I just put on a glove, take a scanner and then scan the QR code. And over the years, it's already in the simulation world. And that entire behavior will be collected in the system. I think it would be cool, you know, especially if you want a friend, you know, you could teach the robot to give you a dab like this and just be like, yeah, this is my brother. This is my glimmer. Yeah. Right here. Shake robot hands. Yeah. Or maybe we do a thumb war. You know, the dexterous hand, guys. This is it. Whoa. Uh oh. Trust me, guys. This is this is the part that everybody locked in. Feel the power. Crystal, will you hold my hand? Hold my robot hand. Very strong fingers here. Hey, what's up, man? Nice to meet you. Pleasure. All right. I got to ask you, Crystal, if you could model anything for a Tora1. OK. What would you like to input into the large data set? I mean, I don't know why I thought about this example, how like plumbers, they're going to go into some unpleasant environment and fix a toilet or whatever plumbing system. And if you could just imitate that, then so these people don't need to do that job, you know, dirty job or unsafe job anymore. Yo, this showroom is so crazy because it almost reminds me of every science center that I went to growing up. But like maybe 6,000 times better because these are real technologies that you guys can deploy as machine right now. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And my favorite part is that I just really love how nurturing and maternal these robots are because it's so different from, you know, the aggressive, fancy robots we've seen on TikTok, Instagram. I felt like this. I can see I wanted to have a robot at my place and helping me to do all sorts of stuff. Yeah. Like the human, we also make some mistakes in our living life, right? But we can learn from mistakes and to improve ourselves. Exactly the same as the passionate robots. I mean, I just think it's amazing how Shenzhen like 40 years ago was just a fish village. And, you know, you don't have any of those buildings. And now that you're on the top of the world almost right with this view and you're building future robots from a place that didn't even exist 40 years ago. You know what I love about it is this just kind of shifted my whole perception. It is about what robots can do, but it is so much more than that. It's about what the robots can perceive. Yeah, exactly. We want to make sure robots can feel the world and do the right action, do the right work. Yeah. There's a lot of responsibility that comes with it, right? Yeah. So we want to make sure that the robots are doing something good for the world. Yeah, exactly. So as you can see, it's like empowering the society through technology. Yeah. What's the slogan of our company? And we want to make sure we can give some feedback to the society. Listen, guys, global leader and embodied perception driven general intelligence. So if people out there want to buy a pacini robot to run the security scanner, they can do that. Yeah. But if they want to just buy the data, they could do that. Yeah. Or if they just want to buy the sensor that is so advanced from you guys, they could just buy that. Yeah, exactly. And also, if they want to buy all of them, they can do it also. I mean, this was such an amazing experience. Thank you for the showroom. My own IQ for the robotic stack went up like 10 times. Like I just wanted to see robots do flips and, you know, transform. And then I realized, oh, nah, that's, you know, that's a level. But there's a lot more levels. And you guys are industry leading in all of them. Yeah. Well, thank you so much. Thank you. Dr. Susie Wong, guys. Listen, talk to the PhDs. They went to the top schools. They did the research. They dedicated their life to this. You're going to learn something. I learned something because it's like, you got to go straight to the source. Don't, you know, you could go on TikTok. You go on Instagram, go on IG Reels, but you're not going to learn. But you're talking to Dr. Susie Wong at Crescini. Because I'm telling you, they do the research. They dedicate their life to this. They know everything. And they can just blow your mind in terms of what you thought you knew. But what this world actually is. My biggest takeaway is this. I do not want to be left behind. Today, I learned so much about robotics and AI and the convergence of those two things. And I just want to peel back the layers of the onion. Yeah, and as an only child, my parents were getting older every single year. And I used to be so worried about who's going to take care of them when they're older. But after viewing Pacini and also their robots today, I'm very confident that one of their robots will be able to take better care of them than I will ever be able to do in 10 years. Wow, that's really thoughtful. I'm not going to lie. That didn't even cross my mind. I'm a terrible son. It's okay. I have a Pacini robot.
