Peking University Associate Professor Deeply Involved in Robot Brain Research Discusses the Biggest "Bias" in the Field of Embodiment
Summary
Unbounded Intelligence, founded by Peking University associate professor Lu Zongqing, focuses on building robot 'brains' rather than manufacturing hardware and recently closed an angel round worth tens of millions of yuan. The company launched the Being-H series of dexterous hand models and the Being-H0.5 model, which can control 30 different robots and run in real time on common small robot chips. It trains on a large first-person human-action video dataset (claimed as the largest pre-training set for embodied models) and sells one-time deployment licenses plus post-training services (Being-Dex) for rapid task adaptation. Lu argues the embodied industry will split between software and hardware as buying a brain becomes far cheaper than self-developing models, and Unbounded Intelligence aims to prove cross-brand, cross-form generalization.
