Their comments have come as humanoids took center stage at the ongoing 2024 World Robot Conference, which runs till Sunday in Beijing.
就在他们发表评论之际，仿人机器人在正在举行的2024年世界机器人峰会上占据中心位置，该大会将于周日在北京结束。

According to a report released at the conference by the World Robot Cooperation Organization, humanoid robots will profoundly transform human production and lifestyle, while leading society into a new stage of intelligent development and bringing disruptive changes to various industries.
根据世界机器人合作组织在会上发布的一篇报道，人形机器人会深刻改变人们的生产和生活方式，引领社会进入智能化发展的新阶段，并对各行各业带来颠覆性的改变。

In the industrial sector, humanoid robots will participate widely in hazardous production processes, significantly enhancing production efficiency and safety. They will become a crucial force in executing tasks such as scientific exploration, disaster relief and security inspections in extreme environments, as per the report.
在工业领域，人形机器人将会广泛参与到危险生产的过程，这将有效提升生产的有效性和安全性。根据报道，他们将成为在极端环境中执行像科学探索，灾难救援和安全检测等任务的关键力量。

Qiao Hong, president of WRCO, said multimodal large language models, which possess the ability to generate text, images, audio and video based on given prompts, will provide humanoid robots with enhanced understanding, perception and decision-making capabilities.
WRCO总裁乔红表示，多模态大语言模型，能根据给定提示词生成文本、图像、音频和视频，将为人形机器人提供强大的理解、感知和决策能力。

Chinese robotics firms are at the forefront of advancements in the development of humanoid robots, achieving significant breakthroughs in both lower and upper limb functionalities, and bolstering the application of cutting-edge robotics technology in the manufacturing sector, industry insiders said.
业内人士表示，中国的机器人公司处于人形机器人发展前沿，在上肢和下肢功能上都取得了重大突破，并推动了尖端机器人技术在制造业的应用。

At the conference, UBTech Robotics, a Shenzhen, Guangdong province-based robot developer, is showcasing its industrial humanoid robot, Walker S, which has been applied in car factories to carry out tasks such as intelligent sorting, intelligent quality inspection, and installation of car components.
在会议上，总部位于广东深圳的机器人开发商UBTech Robotics，展示了其人形机器人Walker S，该机器人已被应用于汽车工厂，用来执行像智能分拣，智能质检，和汽车零部件安装等任务。

UBTech said in July that it would work with FAW-Volkswagen, one of China's earliest joint venture automakers, to develop highly intelligent and flexible production lines, as well as an unmanned car factory.
UBTech 在7月表示，它将与中国最早的合资汽车厂商一汽大众合作，研发高智能和灵活的生产线，以及一个无人驾驶汽车工厂。

The collaboration aims to integrate humanoid robots into industrial operations at FAWVolkswagen's factory in Qingdao, Shandong province, where the robots will undertake tasks such as bolt tightening, component assembly and handling automotive parts.
这次合作的目的，主要是在一汽大众山东青岛的工厂的生产运营中集成人形机器人，这些机器人将负责如螺丝拧紧，部件组装和搬运汽车零件等任务。

Tan Min, chief brand officer of UBTech, said the emergence of humanoid robots will change the way people live and work, and improve production efficiency and people's quality of life.
UBTech 首席品牌官唐明表示，人形机器人的出现将改变人们生活和工作的方式，并提升生产效率和人们的生活品质。

These robots, he added, will not only play a vital role in intelligent manufacturing, but could also be used in fields such as personal services, healthcare and education.
他补充道，这些机器人不仅将在智能制造中发挥重要作用，也可以用于个人服务、医疗保健和教育等领域。

China aims to build an innovation system for humanoid robots by 2025, with breakthroughs to be made in several key technologies to ensure the safe and effective supply of core components, according to a guideline unveiled by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. By 2027, the country will establish a secure and reliable industrial and supply chain system of humanoid robots, the guideline said.
根据工业和信息化技术部发布的一项指导方针，中国计划到2025年建立起人形机器人创新体系，在几项关键技术上取得突破，以确保关键部件的安全有效供应。根据该指南，到2027年，国建将建立里一个安全可靠的人形机器人工业和供应链系统。

An industry report co-compiled by UBTech and other partners has forecast that the market size of humanoid robots in China will reach some 2.76 billion yuan ($386.7 million) this year and is expected to touch 75 billion yuan by 2029, accounting for 32.7 percent of the global total.
根据UBTech和其他合作伙伴合编一份行业报告预测到，今年中国的人形机器人市场规模会达到约27.6亿人民币（3.867亿美元），到2029年预计将达到750亿元，占全球总量32.7%。

Marina Bill, president of the International Federation of Robotics, said about 60,000 industrial robots were installed in China 10 years ago, and it has gone up to 290,000 now. "Hardly any other country in the world has had that quick a development."
国际机器人联合会主席 Marina Bill 表示，10年前中国已经安装了6w台工业机器人，现在已经增长到29w台。“世界上几乎没有其他国家有过如此快速的发展。”

Bill, who is also the global head of marketing and sales and head of product line software and digital in industrial conglomerate ABB's robotics division, said China is a very important country for robotics, and the company has continuously expanded its footprint here.
Bill，同时作为工业集团ABB机器人部门的全球营销与销售主管和产品线软件与数字主管，表示中国是机器人技术非常重要的国家，公司将继续扩展在中国的业务。

"Just a couple of years ago, we opened our mega factory in Shanghai where we now have a huge production of robots," Bill said, adding that the company does research and development for global products in China and will work with local suppliers in various areas.
Bill 表示 “就在几年前，我们在上海开设了一间大型工厂，现在我们在那里生产了大量的机器人”，并补充道公司在中国为全球产品进行研究和开发，并将在各个领域与当地供应商进行合作。
