Hitch open physical intelligence platform debuts at ciie, AI robot achieves new ping pong record

The global physical intelligence open-source platform, Hitch Open, originating from UC Berkeley in Silicon Valley, made its world debut at the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE) on November 7th, according to the Lingang Group. During the launch event at the CIIE Lingang exhibition area, the platform was unveiled globally. A demonstration involving an AI autonomous decision-making robot playing ping pong achieved a new world record of 142 rallies. This record was established through a collaboration between Professor Gao Yue's team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University - Shanghai Chuangzhi College and the Hitch Open platform. Hitch Open is designed as a competitive platform for physical intelligence in real-world environments. Its goal is to tackle core challenges in perception, decision-making, and action within complex physical settings, thereby advancing fields like autonomous driving, embodied intelligence, and robotics. The ping pong challenge itself serves as a rigorous test, demanding real-time judgment within milliseconds due to the ball's high speed and complex spin.
