AI-Driven Bots Revolution: From Technological Breakthroughs to Application Prospects

In recent years, breakthrough advancements in the field of artificial intelligence are reshaping the development landscape of the Bots industry. The emergence of multimodal large language models has endowed Bots with the "brains" necessary to perform complex tasks, while innovations in visual-language-action (VLA) models have further integrated visual perception, language understanding, and physical action capabilities. These technological advancements are driving the birth of affordable, efficient, and versatile humanoid Bots.

As costs continue to decline, Bots technology is expanding from the industrial warehousing sector to the consumer market. To achieve breakthroughs in the consumer market, the comprehensive cost of Bots needs to be controlled at around $35 per hour. Currently, the Bots industry is rapidly developing towards being cheaper, more efficient, and more versatile.

However, the comprehensive popularization of Bots technology still faces some challenges. Battery life, operational delays, and data collection efficiency are pressing issues that need to be resolved. Autonomous charging and docking infrastructure have become key development directions, while a perception delay of less than 50 milliseconds is a critical threshold for achieving smooth operation. In terms of data collection, remote control is considered the most promising method, but how to reduce labor costs still requires further exploration.

Cryptography is expected to play an important role in driving the development of Bots. Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) could revolutionize charging infrastructure and optimize remote control latency. In addition, cryptography can also facilitate the collection of high-quality data through token incentive mechanisms.

Safety has always been a core concern in the development of Bots technology. Some innovative projects are building decentralized coordination layers for Bots, achieving device identity authentication and behavior verification through cryptographic proofs. Third-party re-staking networks can also provide peer-to-peer security guarantees, offering additional protection for consumers.

To promote the popularization of Bots technology, it is also necessary to improve the financing mechanism, evaluation system, and education ecosystem. The emergence of open-source projects is expected to lower the barriers to Bots development, while a structured inclusive education system is crucial for cultivating industry talent.

As these key aspects gradually improve, we have reason to believe that the Bots industry is about to experience explosive growth similar to the Web2 era. In the future, humanoid robots are likely to become the next generation of disruptive technology that changes the way humans live.
