Alibaba’s subsidiary Amap (Gaode) is set to release its first product from its embodied intelligence division—a quadruped robot. This is reportedly the first embodied robot product introduced by Alibaba Group. According to insiders, humanoid robots and robotic dogs are both key directions being explored by Amap’s embodied intelligence team. The company has also built what is said to be the industry’s largest embodied navigation data engine, and has made progress in handling long-horizon, complex tasks. This move signals that Alibaba’s AI strategy is extending from the digital world into the physical world. [IThome, in Chinese]
