Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Xinxin

After a "man-machine running together" marathon, the topic of "robot falling and getting up again" continued to rise to the hot search. Although some "overturning scenes" in the competition are different from people's expectations for perfect robots, more netizens gave positive comments - "Who doesn't fall on the road of growth?"

Learn to walk, you must first learn to fall. As people say, every step a humanoid robot takes falls and gets up is a ladder for embodied intelligence to move forward.

A industry engineer revealed that every time a robot falls, the background will receive thousands of sets of abnormal data. These data not only record the status at that time, but also include information such as how to allocate joint torque and adjust pace frequency on different road surfaces, helping enterprises improve the stability and adaptability of products in complex environments. The humanoid robot industry is also accelerating the process of implementation and application in such repeated "extreme tests".

It's not just robots. No technological progress will be achieved overnight, and in the future, there will be no model to follow or precedents to borrow. How many possibilities will be explored, how many tests and trials will be experienced. Under the craze for developing new quality productivity, how to view and face the waves and twists of technology towards newness and industry forward is crucial to the cultivation and growth of the industry.

Turn the problems that come out of "run" into the motivation to move forward.

The development of the industry must find the right direction through continuous trial and error and adjustment, and problems are the best yardstick.

Taking my country's development of new energy vehicles as an example, it faced various doubts at the beginning, experiencing anxiety about route selection, the reversal of technology and the iteration of the entire industrial system. Faced with the problem of "low temperature slump", we will accelerate the efforts to tackle the battery range; to address the difficulty of charging and promote the difficulty of promoting new models, speed up the development of infrastructure construction and battery swap... It is precisely because of the continuous and unremitting research in resolving problems that we have achieved the fruitful results today.

"10 years, 1 billion US dollars, 10% success rate" - Behind the "three 10" laws of the pharmaceutical industry on the research and development of new drugs, it not only reveals the hardships of innovation, but also reflects the accumulation of hard work and courage to try and correct mistakes.

Today, whether it is humanoid robots, low-altitude economy, synthetic biology, or quantum communication, they are facing breakthroughs in technical route choices and application scenarios. The future industry racing also requires us to break the rules and boldly explore while taking problems as topics, fill gaps in solving problems, break through clues, and find a suitable development path.

Falling, getting up, continuing trial and error, and continuing exploration are behind long-term investment and persistence.

The future development of industries will depend on the accumulation of time, and it is particularly necessary to incubate those seemingly distant but full of possible innovations with "patience".

The "Hangzhou Six Little Dragons" represented by Yushu Technology attracted global attention, and behind it are "from scratch" entrepreneurial teams that have been attracted by investors and have been supported for a long time; the "Xiangyun" AS700 manned airship successfully flew for the first time, relying on the technical foundation accumulated by AVIC for many years and the courage to deepen its cultivation in emerging industries... Case studies prove how valuable the power of persistence is in the long-term running of the industry towards a new long-term.

Today, in the future, industries have become the main battlefield for technological struggles, and forward-looking layout is a strategic move that we cannot miss. In this process, we must not only plan cutting-edge technologies and seize the initiative in development; we must also calm down, "tailor-made" industrial planning and support policies, carefully polish every link, establish and improve fault tolerance mechanisms, attach importance to talent training, and water the flowers of future industries with long-termism.

Every industry leap is a growth in stuttering and falling. Looking back one day in the future, we will cherish and appreciate the slightly clumsy but firm running of robots in this "marathon" - it allows us to show the proof of the past "patience" and respect for scientific laws, and also makes us firmly believe that if we go the right path, we will not be afraid of being far away.
