Humanoid robots perform advanced martial arts at Chinese New Year gala

Al Jazeera

China's annual gala on Lunar New Year's Eve has showcased Beijing's giant leap in technology as humanoid robots took centre stage to perform a joint martial arts routine featuring several firsts. China's Spring Festival Gala, which aired on Monday on state broadcaster CGTN, has gone viral, drawing nearly half a million views on YouTube. The performance marked a stark contrast with last year's show, when robots twirled handkerchiefs and performed simple movements. The first robots to appear were Noetix's Bumi models, who performed a comedy sketch. Unitree's robots later exhibited martial arts alongside child artists, including backflips and trampoline jumps, followed by Magiclab's humanoids in a musical segment.

MLPs with"noencoding" struggle tofit high frequencysegments (see appendix for train details). Our workenables MLP networks toadaptivelyfitavarying spectrum offine details that previous methods struggle to capture in a single shot, without involved tuning of parameters or domain specific preprocessing.


PolynomialNeuralFields forSubbandDecompositionandManipulation

Neural Information Processing Systems

Neural fields have emerged as a new paradigm for representing signals, thanks to their ability to do it compactly while being easy to optimize. In most applications, however, neural fields are treated like black boxes, which precludes manysignal manipulation tasks.


PyNeRF: Pyramidal Neural Radiance Fields

Neural Information Processing Systems

We propose a simple modification to grid-based models by training model heads at different spatial grid resolutions. At render time, we simply use coarser grids to render samples that cover larger volumes.
