Pudong explores "AI + elderly care" integration with elderly care vertical large models and intelligent robots

Pudong New Area held a human-vs-machine PK competition for elderly care vertical large models; the large model integrates multi-level policy databases within seconds to provide answers on long-term care insurance assessment, bed subsidies, etc., and iterates with a target of over 95% question-answering accuracy, packaging more than ten business services such as nursing home admission, medical accompaniment, and meal assistance into agent services. Three major bases including Chuansha Nursing Home and Shibo Jiayuan Nursing Home have introduced products from more than ten enterprises for real-world testing, including intelligent driving wheelchairs, incontinence care machines, inspection robots, and rehabilitation training robots; Pudong has also partnered with Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance to launch the country's first "elderly care robot product comprehensive liability insurance."

MIT CSAIL and Tianjin University launch X-Hinges design software, enabling 3D printing of self-sensing objects with built-in sensors

Researchers at MIT CSAIL and Tianjin University have developed the X-Hinges design software, which lets users customize shapes and motion patterns; the software automatically embeds two different materials to separately fabricate sensors and conductive traces, avoiding signal interference. The tool supports motion in three directions—compression, up-down, and left-right—and was used to create a glove that can teach a robot to grasp, a small lamp that dims via pinching, and a device that can recognize placed objects. The research team will present the results at the ACM UIST conference in early November; currently, the circuit layout of each printed item differs slightly and requires recalibration using a computer vision system.

US Treasury Secretary Bessent Says AI Has No Systemic Problems, Dot-Com Bubble Will Never Repeat

US Treasury Secretary Bessent said at a closed-door meeting on Wednesday that there are no systemic problems in the artificial intelligence industry, that it cannot be compared at all to the dot-com bubble at the turn of the century, and predicted that AI will greatly boost productivity and significantly promote US economic growth. But he also acknowledged that data centers and AI companies have not done enough to explain the benefits of the technology to ordinary Americans; currently, more and more regions in the United States are beginning to oppose data center construction, and investors are increasingly questioning whether related stock prices are too high.

Robot rental prices plunge over 70% within a year—has robot rental lost its spark?

The all-inclusive daily rental price for humanoid robots has dropped from 10,000 to 30,000 yuan in early 2025 to the 3,000 yuan range, with some basic models falling below 2,000 yuan—a decline of over 70%; all-inclusive daily rental for quadruped robot dogs has fallen by about two-thirds, with JD.com bare-metal daily rental at about 160 yuan and less than 100 yuan per day for a 30-day rental period. On the supply side, capacity ramp-ups by manufacturers such as Unitree and AgiBot, combined with an influx of rental platforms, have expanded supply; on the demand side, use cases are shifting from commercial-performance traffic props to long-term scenarios such as in-store sales guidance and park patrol inspections, and the industry has entered a conventional competition phase focused on delivery quality.
