广东筹划举办国际人形机器人篮球挑战赛(RBA),是打造具有全球影响力的产业科技创新中心的具体实践,通过“科技搭台、产业唱戏”,一方面深化产学研协同创新,促进国际技术交流与合作,全面推动机器人在高动态运动控制、环境感知、自主决策与团队协作等核心技术方面的能力突破;另一方面拓展应用场景,加快人工智能相关技术成果产业化进程,为广东人工智能与机器人产业高质量发展注入新动力。
杨军表示,赛项设置方面,在充分考虑当前国内外人形机器人技术发展水平基础上,经广泛、深入调研,赛事聚焦人形机器人核心技术突破,设置竞技赛和表演赛两个兼具技术挑战性和观赏性的比赛类别。其中竞技赛主要围绕拍球、传接球、投篮等篮球基本动作,设置定点罚球投篮、移动三分球投篮、人机协同传接球、原地运球耐力赛、运球避障上篮五个项目;表演赛则不设固定动作和固定路线,由参赛方自行编排花式篮球动作与队形变化等,充分展示机器人运球、传球、投篮、转球、抛接、舞蹈律动等综合篮球技能。
参赛机器人要求方面,竞技赛机器人须具备类人形身体结构,由头部、躯干、双臂及双足组成,且所有部位均与躯干相连,双足为唯一行走执行机构;运动能力方面须具备双脚直立行走能力,且能自主完成跌倒恢复动作。花式篮球表演赛机器人下身结构则不作限制。所有参赛机器人必须标配具备应急辅助操作功能的手柄及紧急停止按钮。
奖项设置方面,竞技赛设单项冠亚季军奖和MVP(最有价值球员)奖,表演赛设一二三等奖;此外,设最佳技术创新奖、最佳团队协作奖、最佳人气奖等特别奖项,以及一定数量的竞技赛、表演赛参与奖。
本次大赛面向全球开放,国内外企业、高校、科研院所、创新团队及其他社会组织均可单独或联合组队报名。(完)

On September 29, the State Council Information Office held a press conference to introduce the progress of building a scientific and technological power during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. Yin Hejun, Minister of Science and Technology, said that my country's scientific and technological innovation has leapt to a new level in the past five years. In 2025, the entire society's R&D investment will exceed 3.92 trillion yuan, accounting for 2.8% of GDP.

The China Meteorological Administration released the "Meteorological Data Management Measures" today, which will be officially implemented on November 1. This measure establishes rules and regulations around data supply, circulation and utilization, safety assurance, supervision and management, etc., and fills the gaps in the system of meteorological data confirmation and authorized operation.

TrendForce research shows that the expansion of demand for AI servers has caused HBM to compete with traditional DRAM for advanced process production capacity. Memory supply is expected to continue to tighten in 2027, with blended ASP annual growth reaching 121%. Although GPU and ASIC manufacturers are considering reducing HBM capacity to 8hi to reduce costs, the price per Gb may be 10-20% higher than 12hi, and the overall price increase trend is difficult to reverse.

Experts pointed out that the current specific progress of AI in the field of cancer is mainly reflected in assisting early detection and diagnosis, such as discovering subtle clues of pancreatic cancer from CT images that were judged to be normal in the past. However, they emphasized that cancer is complex and diverse, and AI cannot solve biomedical problems by relying on computing power alone. Experimental verification and clinical trials are still needed.

Nvidia announced a record US$150 billion share buyback and launched the Open Agent Safety Platform, with CEO Jensen Huang urging US-China collaboration on AI safety despite political tensions, emphasizing that competitors can still work together to prevent AI harm.

When Jen-Hsun Huang attended the annual dinner of the South Korea-US friendship non-profit organization "Korea Association" in New York and received the Van Fleet Award, he once again emphasized that AI is not a living organism, but just a software. He opposed giving it too many human characteristics and called for an alignment mechanism to ensure the safe and responsible development of AI.
