Hong Kong’s fragile retail recovery is clouding the outlook for shopping mall rents, with Wharf Real Estate Investment Company (REIC) warning that rising geopolitical tensions could add further uncertainty even as visitor traffic improves. “Volume increase, however, was not often accompanied by commensurate yield increase,” the company said in its annual results released on Tuesday….
What a difference a year makes. Last year at about this time, Elon Musk was boasting that his DOGE team could achieve $2 trillion in federal budget savings by paring down the government workforce. In November, President Trump announced plans to send $2,000 “tariff dividend checks” to all Americans “(not including high income people!),” he…
Hong Kong is set to challenge London’s dominance in marine insurance as Middle East tensions highlight the city’s ability to provide war-risk cover at a lower cost, according to the local insurance regulator’s chairman.

Techritual.com 2026年3月10日週二 下午6:00 Robot 製造商 Figure AI 最近發佈了一段新示範，展示其 Figure 03 人形機器人如何自主整理客廳。這段示範突顯了公司 Helix 02 系統的新功能，讓人形機器人能在沒有人工干預的情況下完成複雜任務。示範於週一公開，展示 Figure 03 執行如拾取物品、分類及展現環境意識等行為，並且行為類似人類。 從更廣泛的角度來看，這台機器人展現了精確的物品處理、工具使用及在不斷變化的環境中即時決策的能力。示範中，Figure 03 人形機器人在一個表面上噴水，然後用毛巾清潔。之後，它暫時將毛巾放在手臂上，以便雙手自由執行其他任務。機器人用雙手拾起垃圾桶，展現了複雜的雙手操作，並將積木從桌子和沙發上收集到容器中。此外，機器人還展示了整個身體的使用策略，將容器夾在一隻手臂下。Figure 03 利用控制運動將一個枕頭扔回沙發上，並在重新握住遙控器時關掉了電視。 與以往的示範相比，如在工廠工作、洗衣或使用洗碗機，這些任務都在穩定的環境中進行，並有結構化的逐步指導可供遵循。客廳則是高度非結構化的，物件以不可預測的方式散落。整理客廳面臨不同的挑戰，因為這需要人形機器人首先理解環境，然後決定行動計劃。許多行動需要協調的雙手操作、運動和靈巧度，這與人類相似。Figure 透過專注於數據訓練，而非為不同任務添加專門控制器，成功達成了這一目標。 Helix 02 在公司的現有 System 1 和 System 2 框架上進行擴展，新增一個稱為 System 0 的基礎層。每個層級以其自身的自然速度運作。System 2 運行較慢，處理目標導向的推理，如場景理解、語言解釋和行為序列。System 1 則運行得更快，以每秒 200 次的頻率將感知轉換為全身關節目標，而 System 0 則以每秒 1,000 次的速度管理平衡、接觸及全身協調。這三個層級共同創造了一個從視覺輸入到物理行動的集成層級。 Figure 的首席執行官 Brett Adcock 表示，人形機器人在 2026 年有望自主工作。此次客廳示範可能只是邁向這一方向的第一步。 推薦閱讀…
