韩国汽车制造商现代汽车在3 月初重申了声明，称该公司将在被称为“Metavers”（元宇宙）的沉浸式虚拟世界中使用机器人技术。为了支持这些技术，一个新兴的概念：元宇宙对他们的讨论还没有结束。该公司最新一期的Planète Robots（星球机器人）中介绍了为未来持续发展的技术革命的愿景。

该集团已经在美国拉斯维加斯举行的2022 年消费电子展上公布了该计划的草案。现代汽车现在正在通过一个关键概念“元宇宙”来丰富这一愿景。据制造商称，这将使机器人作为现实世界和虚拟空间之间的中介进行交互，从而使元界的变化反映在现实中。

该公司表示，未来移动性之间的区别将因机器人技术而变得模糊。因此，城市空中机动车辆和设备将作为智能设备接入元界平台。这一元出行概念符合汽车制造商转型为“智能出行解决方案提供商”的战略。

元宇宙，“无限的行动自由”

现代董事长钟义善说：“在现代，我们利用机器人的力量来完成伟大的事情。我们设想通过先进的机器人技术实现未来的移动解决方案。这是通过将我们的移动解决方案扩展到元宇宙。这一愿景将为人类提供无限的行动自由和进步。”

在过去的几年里，现代在机器人技术上下了很大的赌注。值得注意的是，该公司在2020 年以8.8 亿美元收购了美国机器人公司波士顿动力公司。这家初创公司以Spot 和Atlas 等机器而闻名。第一个是能够小跑和爬楼梯的四足机器人；第二种，专为搜救而设计的人形机器人。

波士顿动力创始人兼总裁马克·雷伯特（Mark Raibert）也分享了对Metavers 的热情看法。他说他设想了一个人类和机器人并肩工作的未来。“我们看到未来机器人不仅仅是面向任务的工具，不仅仅是机器。我们相信未来机器人将成为我们日常生活中有用和值得信赖的伙伴。”
