最近一种其貌不扬的榴莲，登上了中国城市的水果摊架。

二 | 其外观酷似外星人的头颅，但是一上架还是吸引了不少市民围观和购买。

The firefighting final of the emergency management category at the 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games (WHRG) was held on Sunday in Beijing, putting 23 teams through a simulated rescue operation designed to test whether humanoid robots can move beyond demonstrations and perform practical tasks in complex real-world environments.
The event comes as Chinese humanoid robots, long known for eye-catching abilities such as running, dancing and music playing, are pushed toward practical applications, including jobs that are dangerous for humans such as emergency rescue.
Unlike the first edition of the WHRG last year, according to the organization committee, this year's scenario-based events emphasize "realistic simulation," with the firefighting competition being held at a fire brigade rather than in a model-room setup. 
The competition simulated a firefighting assignment that required each of the 23 robots to complete three tasks within 30 minutes: identify hazardous materials, shut off valves and operate a fire extinguisher. For the first task, robots had to identify two randomly placed simulated hazardous substances and report their types to judges through returned images. They then had to locate three randomly selected open valves of different types and shut them off before identifying a fire source, finding a fire extinguisher and spraying it until the fire was put out.
Human firefighters were also involved in the event, lighting the fire and observing whether the robots carried out the extinguisher operation correctly.
The competition, however, showed how difficult it remains for robots to perform reliably outside controlled laboratory conditions.
Rain affected the competition, while changes in lighting and the outdoor environments added uncertainty to the robots' visual recognition and manipulation tasks. A team from UniX AI, a company well-known for its robot applications on real-world scenarios and has just raised a new round of 300 million yuan ($ 44.49 million) in late March, completed its run within the allotted time, but its robot moved relatively slowly compared to human firefighters' real practice. When operating the fire extinguisher, its robotic hand had to make two attempts to align with the target.
Of 12 teams competed on Sunday, three finished the challenge. 
Yang Liqi, a representative of the UniX AI team, told the Global Times that the firefighting scenario placed higher demands on both the robot's recognition and manipulation capabilities.
"Rain and lighting conditions can affect the robot, and actual situations are often different from what we simulate in the laboratory," Yang said, noting that this was also one reason why a number of teams were unable to complete their runs on Sunday morning.
The team had programmed the robot to make up to three attempts when operating the extinguisher. "If it sees white smoke after the first attempt, it will not make a second attempt," Yang said.
The difficulty was not simply that whether the robot could move its arm. Humanoid robots rely on different types of joints for different tasks: small, high-precision joints enable delicate hand operations, while high-torque, reliable joints support movement and balance.
A failure at any point of actions and detection could affect the final result. This is precisely where the value of real-world competitions lies, Jin Chenran, a representative of the Tiangong team whose robot only accomplished one of the three tasks, told the Global Times.
"Whether the competition goes smoothly or not, that is the significance of a real-world simulation. Every real-world failure is valuable data that helps humanoid robots toward practical application," Jin said.
Jin further explained that questions like why the robot failed to recognize an object and how its motion-planning system selected the wrong path... Such data can subsequently be used to improve algorithms and train AI models.
The competition also offered a glimpse into the current transitional stage of humanoid robot technology. At the venue, some team members were wearing VR headsets and remotely adjusting their robots shortly before their runs.
Some humanoid robots were seen using omnidirectional wheels instead of feet, while their hands featured multiple joints to enable more precise manipulation. Many teams chose China-developed UBTECH's joint modules for their robots. Its servo actuators cover a wide torque range from 0.2Nm to 200Nm, allowing robots to combine dexterity with strength. Meanwhile, VR teleoperation gives operators a first-person view through the robot's cameras, enabling them to remotely guide movements in real time.
The event comes amid a broader push in China to move humanoid robots and embodied intelligence from laboratories and competition arenas into real production and daily-life environments. In June, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the other departments launched a special program for humanoid robots and embodied intelligence that encouraged applications in practical fields including emergency rescue.
Zhao Weidong, deputy director of the organizing committee office, told the Global Times that the scenario-based competitions are intended to test the progress of humanoid robots from "competition performance" toward "real operational work," including whether they can eventually become intelligent partners for firefighters.
"At present, many simulations of actual operations may still be at an early stage," Zhao said. "But these are an important starting point for enabling robots to truly assist humans in real-world environments, as well as an important source of data and testing."
The ultimate goal, Zhao said, is to push robots into fields where human operations are dangerous and achieve genuine "human-robot complementarity."

这种外星人榴莲，不是来自外星，正是来自于近来和中国关系不怎么样的菲律宾。而且榴莲的“旅行待遇”还不低呢，是从菲律宾空运过来的。

对这件事，有不少人有不同的看法，觉得有点便宜菲律宾了。

三 | 究竟应该怎么看？菲律宾的榴莲到中国登堂入室呢？如果从下面这几个道理来理解的话，也许我们接受菲律宾的榴莲贸易，心里就会坦然一点了。

一是，两军对垒不斩来使。

四 | 要说两国的矛盾程度，那美国与中国的关系要比中菲关系严重多了。中美不是还是每年有几千亿美元的贸易来往吗？只要贸易对双方有利，即使两国关系不好，贸易还是可以照常进行的。

俗话说两军对垒，连来使都不斩，更何况只是榴莲等贸易商品。要知道我国榴莲进口金额已经达到了国内进口水果金额的榜首，在所有进口水果当中，榴莲它的进口金额是最高的。

2022年中国进口水果金额达到了146亿美元，其中榴莲就占据了将近1/3，高达40.3亿美元。但是在2022年的数据统计当中，有95%的榴莲是来自泰国，5%是来自于越南。2023年中国才开始进口菲律宾的榴莲。对比2022年的82.5万吨榴莲进口量来说，菲律宾的计划是向中国出口5.4万多吨的数量。其实全过来了，它也只占很少一部分。但是对菲律宾来讲，达到了菲律宾榴莲产量的80%，这对菲律宾来说还是很有诱惑力的。

二是智者搭桥、愚者筑墙。桥是路的延伸和连接，有了桥才有通途，多一些捷径路才好走。

五 | 冤家宜解不宜结，多一个朋友，少一个敌人。

六 | 菲律宾现在肯定谈不上是朋友，但是也谈不上是劲敌，还是要注意尽量把他少往美国那边推，留点中菲交往的通道。对今后有机会改善中菲关系，那还是有利的。

第三是攻心为上、攻城为下。堡垒最容易从内部攻破，菲律宾内部并不是铁板一块，反对马科斯的声浪也不小。咱们必须注意区别对待，分化利用。

我们要反对的是马科斯当局，对那些支持发展中菲关系的菲律宾国内力量，要给予支持，其中就包括给他们提供支持发展中菲关系的正当理由。互惠贸易就是其中的重要部分。同时让菲律宾老百姓切实感受到在中菲正常关系当中受益，也是有利于鼓励他们反对马科斯当局的对华不友好的政策。所以榴莲它不是坏东西，坏掉的是菲律宾行政当局。

有的人的脑子，类似的问题，其实在中印、中越等双边关系当中也存在。我们只要做到贸易照做，领土寸土不让，主权不可商量就可以了。
