At the exhibition, visitors marveled at Tong Tong's adaptability and responsiveness to her environment. From straightening crooked picture frames to cleaning up spills, Tong Tong showcased her ability to interpret and act on human intentions autonomously. What sets Tong Tong apart is her capacity for self-assigning tasks, autonomous learning, and displaying a wide range of emotions, mirroring those of a three to four-year-old child. This groundbreaking development aligns with China's ambitious plans to unleash thousands of powerful autonomous robots by 2025, spearheaded by Zhu Songchun, BIGAI's director and an esteemed scholar in AI. Moreover, Zhu unveiled the Tong Test, a groundbreaking AI testing platform evaluating capabilities across vision, language, cognition, emotion, and learning, along with integrating a comprehensive value system.
