韓國(guó)汽車制造商現(xiàn)代汽車在3 月初重申了聲明，稱該公司將在被稱為“Metavers”（元宇宙）的沉浸式虛擬世界中使用機(jī)器人技術(shù)。為了支持這些技術(shù)，一個(gè)新興的概念：元宇宙對(duì)他們的討論還沒有結(jié)束。該公司最新一期的Planète Robots（星球機(jī)器人）中介紹了為未來持續(xù)發(fā)展的技術(shù)革命的愿景。

該集團(tuán)已經(jīng)在美國(guó)拉斯維加斯舉行的2022 年消費(fèi)電子展上公布了該計(jì)劃的草案?，F(xiàn)代汽車現(xiàn)在正在通過一個(gè)關(guān)鍵概念“元宇宙”來豐富這一愿景。據(jù)制造商稱，這將使機(jī)器人作為現(xiàn)實(shí)世界和虛擬空間之間的中介進(jìn)行交互，從而使元界的變化反映在現(xiàn)實(shí)中。

該公司表示，未來移動(dòng)性之間的區(qū)別將因機(jī)器人技術(shù)而變得模糊。因此，城市空中機(jī)動(dòng)車輛和設(shè)備將作為智能設(shè)備接入元界平臺(tái)。這一元出行概念符合汽車制造商轉(zhuǎn)型為“智能出行解決方案提供商”的戰(zhàn)略。

元宇宙，“無限的行動(dòng)自由”

現(xiàn)代董事長(zhǎng)鐘義善說：“在現(xiàn)代，我們利用機(jī)器人的力量來完成偉大的事情。我們?cè)O(shè)想通過先進(jìn)的機(jī)器人技術(shù)實(shí)現(xiàn)未來的移動(dòng)解決方案。這是通過將我們的移動(dòng)解決方案擴(kuò)展到元宇宙。這一愿景將為人類提供無限的行動(dòng)自由和進(jìn)步。”

在過去的幾年里，現(xiàn)代在機(jī)器人技術(shù)上下了很大的賭注。值得注意的是，該公司在2020 年以8.8 億美元收購(gòu)了美國(guó)機(jī)器人公司波士頓動(dòng)力公司。這家初創(chuàng)公司以Spot 和Atlas 等機(jī)器而聞名。第一個(gè)是能夠小跑和爬樓梯的四足機(jī)器人；第二種，專為搜救而設(shè)計(jì)的人形機(jī)器人。

波士頓動(dòng)力創(chuàng)始人兼總裁馬克·雷伯特（Mark Raibert）也分享了對(duì)Metavers 的熱情看法。他說他設(shè)想了一個(gè)人類和機(jī)器人并肩工作的未來。“我們看到未來機(jī)器人不僅僅是面向任務(wù)的工具，不僅僅是機(jī)器。我們相信未來機(jī)器人將成為我們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪杏杏煤椭档眯刨嚨幕锇??！?/p>
