Humanoid Robot Uses Dexterous Hand to Fold Clothes Autonomously, West Lake Robot Achieves It

全球首次!人形机器人用灵巧手自主叠衣,西湖机器人做到了

Summary

West Lake Robot's WR1 humanoid robot demonstrates the ability to autonomously fold clothes using its dexterous hand, marking the first global instance of such capability. The robot performs a series of complex tasks, including retrieving corn from a fridge, moving to an air fryer, organizing toys, and folding clothes, all while maintaining smooth motion and avoiding task interruptions. This is achieved through a novel 'general brain' architecture that integrates perception, decision-making, and motion control, enabling seamless, dynamic task execution in real-world environments.

Editorial context

The release highlights WR1's breakthrough in integrating cognitive decision-making with whole-body motion control, enabling seamless, dynamic task execution in complex home environments. The system's ability to perform high-dexterity tasks like folding clothes with a human-like dexterity marks a significant step toward practical deployment.
