중국 피지컬 AI 업계에서 기술적 리더십을 이끄는 30대의 천재 공학도 쉬화저(许华哲, Xu Huazhe)가 있습니다. 그는 2026년 3월 새 회사 포크 로보틱스(破壳机器人, Pok Robotics)를 창업하며 선언했습니다. "피지컬AI는 로봇 공학이 아니며, 자율주행도 아닙니다. 그것은 이 세상의 새로운 종(種)입니다." 이 선언의 이면에는 중국 로봇 산업이 지금 당장 선택해야 할 갈림길이 있습니다. 몸체(하드웨어)를 더 잘 만드는 길과 지능(두뇌)의 본질에 집중하는 길 사이에서 그는 후자를 택했습니다. 쉬화저라는 인물을 중국이 주목하는 이유 중국 피지컬 AI 업계가 쉬화저에게 집중하는 이유는 단순히 그의 연구 성과 때문만이 아닙니다. 그는 '버클리 귀국 4인방'의 핵심 멤버로서 피지컬 AGI(Physical AGI, 물리적 세계에서 인간 수준의 범용 작업을 수행할 수 있는 인공지능)의 방향성을 가장 명확하게 제시하는 인물이기 때문입니다. 1992년 생인 그는 칭화대 전자공학과를 졸업하고 UC 버클리에서 박사 학위를 받았습니다. 스탠포드 포스닥을 거쳐 29세의 나이에 칭화대 교수로 임용되었습니다. 학계의 안정된 길 대신 창업의 길을 선택했습니다. 그의 모든 선택에는 하나의 일관된 질문이 있었습니다. "어떻게 하면 진정한 범용 지능을 만들 수 있을까?" 중국이 주목하는 이유는 그가 단순한 로봇 공학자가 아니라 '물리적 AGI'라는 거대한 질문을 던지는 사람이기 때문입니다. 그는 중국이 하드웨어 공장이 아니라 두뇌 경쟁의 테이블에 앉아야 한다고 주장합니다. 그의 말을 빌리면, "절대로 우리가 철덩어리만 만들고, 미국이 두뇌를 만들게 해서는 안 됩니다." 이것이 중국에서 그의 이야기가 단순한 창업 스토리가 아닌 '산업 전략적 화두'로 받아들여지는 이유입니다. 싱하이투(星海图) 공동대표에서 다시 창업으로 허화저의 행보를 이해하려면 싱하이투(星海图, Xinghai Tu)를 빼놓을 수 없습니다. 2023년 설립된 싱하이투는 중국 피지컬AI 분야에서 가장 빠르게 성장한 스타트업 중 하나입니다. 쉬화저는 공동창업자이자 최고과학자(CSO)로 합류했습니다. 회사가 표방한 슬로건은 '일뇌다형(一脑多形)' — 하나의 두뇌로 여러 형태의 로봇을 제어하겠다는 비전이었습니다. 싱하이투는 설립 초기부터 앤트그룹, 가오링 벤처스, 바이두 벤처스, IDG 등 중국 최상위 투자기관의 투자를 받으며 기업가치 100억 위안을 돌파했습니다. 중국 업계에서는 이를 두고 '중국의 피지컬 오픈AI'라는 수식어를 붙이기도 했습니다. 쉬화저는 이 회사의 기술 방향성, 특히 범용 두뇌 개발을 이끄는 핵심 역할을 맡았습니다. 그러나 2년여 만에 그는 싱하이투를 떠나기로 결정합니다. 공식적인 이유는 '평화로운 이별'이었지만, 그 이면에는 기술 철학의 차이가 있었습니다. 왜 떠났는가: 일반화의 속도에 관한 내적 갈림길 쉬화저는 싱하이투를 떠난 이유를 두 가지로 압축합니다. 첫째, 목표의 차이입니다. "가정용 로봇을 만드는 것이 제 진정한 목표였지만, 당시 싱하이투에서는 가정용이 핵심이 아니었습니다." 둘째, 방법론의 차이입니다. 싱하이투가 산업용과 물류용 로봇으로 점진적으로 확장하는 전략을 택했다면, 쉬화저는 "처음부터 가정으로 가야 한다"고 주장했습니다. 가정은 공장과 달리 구조화되지 않은 환경이며, 그에게 진짜 AGI의 시험장입니다. "100가지 일을 하면서 1000가지를 깨닫는 일은 절대 일어나지 않습니다. 처음부터 범용으로 가야 합니다." 이것이 그가 2026년 3월 포크 로보틱스를 창업한 이유입니다. 새로운 회사에서 그는 오직 '지능'과 '제품'에만 집중하겠다고 선언했습니다. 하드웨어 세부 사항은 생태계에 맡기고 범용 지능의 본질에 모든 자원을 쏟겠다는 전략입니다. 전체 내용보기

Floppy disks are several decades old—many of the disks are degrading and the data stored on them is at risk of being lost. In response, Leontien Talboom, a technical analyst at Cambridge University Libraries and Archives, led a roughly year-long project preserving floppy disks called “Future Nostalgia,” which concluded in January. Leontien Talboom Leontien Talboom is a technical analyst at Cambridge University Libraries and Archives, where she transfers material from a wide range of storage media to make them accessible to archivists. IEEE Spectrum spoke to Talboom about her work preserving data from Cambridge’s collection of floppy disks and collecting knowledge about the disks themselves. Why is it important to preserve floppy disks now? Leontien Talboom: Two reasons. First, the physical media is starting to degrade. Floppy disks are made from plastic, but they’ve got a magnetic layer of iron oxide, and that’s deteriorating. A lot of floppy disks are found in attics or garages, which means they also suffer from mold. Second, a lot of people who developed floppy disks and systems that use floppy disks are starting to retire or pass away, which means that a lot of tacit knowledge is disappearing. Whom did you go to for that tacit knowledge? Talboom: I went to the retro computing community. Their work is more around preserving these machines to keep them running [than] the data that lives on the floppy disk. But they know their stuff about floppy disks. For example, they know that in a lot of the older disks, the inside of the disk—the doughnut—gets stuck to the top. So if you flex the casing, the doughnut falls down again. If I hadn’t known that, I would have assumed that those disks in our collection were broken or corrupt. What is the most difficult part of working with floppy disks? Talboom: Accessing the files can be quite challenging if we don’t understand the file system. Within libraries and archives, we get a lot of material from machines that are not as well loved. Many of the personal computers that you had at home, such as the Amstrad or ZX Spectrum or BBC Micro, are very well documented. But a bunch of our material comes from business or research systems. They’re not as nostalgic for people, so there’s not as big a community preserving this type of material. Do you have a favorite type of floppy disk? Talboom: Five and a quarter. The weirder the system, the more frustrating and fun it is. I quite like doing that detective work. The Amstrad disk has also really stolen my heart. The popularity of floppy disks is very geographically dependent. Our library, for example, has these Amstrad 3-inch disks. But if you go to the U.S., they’re really uncommon. They weren’t able to manufacture enough of these drives, and [3.5-inch disks] took over at a certain point. But they’re really cute. What’s the best method for sustainably storing data? Talboom: The main thing is actively looking after it. A lot of the floppy disks we get in the library haven’t been accessed for 20 or 30 years, which means that you need certain special hardware to actually read them, and then work with emulators or other tools to make these file formats accessible. Now that we’ve done that work and transferred it, we can monitor it and make sure it’s not suffering from anything like bit rot. We can also make decisions around migrating it to other file formats or working on specific file systems or unknown file formats in more detail.

The IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc)’s Research Collaboration Pitch Session initiative is proving to be a catalyst for meaningful engagement between academic researchers and industry innovators. Launched last year, the program connects promising researchers with industry leaders who can offer them funding, mentorship, and connections to bring interesting ideas closer to real-world deployment. Rather than relying on chance encounters at conferences, the pitch sessions create a focused environment. Five academic presenters share their work with five industry representatives, known as “innovation scouts”: senior leaders primarily chosen from ComSoc’s Corporate Program partner companies such as Ericsson, Intel, Keysight, and Nokia. The curated format ensures that each idea receives dedicated attention from professionals who are seeking new concepts aligned with their organization’s priorities. The initiative was launched in November at the IEEE Middle East Conference on Communications and Networking (MECOM) in Cairo and appeared in December at the IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM) in Taipei, Taiwan. AI-driven communication network One of the most compelling outcomes came from the inaugural session in Cairo. Angela Waithaka, a student member and biomedical engineering student at Kenyatta University, in Nairobi, Kenya, presented her “AI-Driven Predictive Communication Networks for Enhanced Performance in Resource-Constrained Environments” paper. You can view her presentation along with others on IEEE.tv. Waithaka’s research tackles a critical challenge: Next-generation communication systems increasingly rely on artificial intelligence and machine learning, yet most existing architectures consume abundant computational and energy resources, which are not always present in developing regions. Waithaka proposed lightweight, adaptive AI/machine learning models capable of delivering predictive, reliable communication performance even under tight resource constraints. Her vision resonated with Ruiqi “Richie” Liu, a master researcher at ZTE in China. ZTE is a global leader in integrated information and communication technology solutions. Liu says he recognized the relevance Waithaka’s proposal had to his company’s work with the International Telecommunication Union. He invited her to establish an ITU account so she could participate in the organization’s meetings discussing global telecommunications standardization projects—which would elevate her work to an international stage. Simplifying data center protocols The momentum continued at GLOBECOM. Among the presenters was Nirmala Shenoy, a professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology, in New York. Shenoy, an IEEE member, spoke on the topic of simplifying data center network protocols. She highlighted the growing complexity of the critical networks, which underpin cloud services, enterprise IT, and emerging AI workloads. Shenoy’s focus on reducing protocol complexity while maintaining scalability, resilience, and low latency caught the attention of an innovation scout from Nokia, who heads its eXtended Reality Lab in Madrid. He found the key person at Nokia for Shenoy to connect with to discuss her research, and it led her to record a video for the company detailing her approach and its potential applications. A model for accelerating innovation The early success stories demonstrate the power of intentional, structured engagement. By bringing researchers and industry leaders together in a format designed for discovery, ComSoc is helping accelerate innovation and expand opportunities for collaboration. The pitch sessions are not merely conference events; they are becoming a bridge between academic creativity and industry implementation. This year sessions will be held during the IEEE International Conference on Communications in Glasgow from 24 to 28 May, and more are scheduled during the IEEE International Mediterranean Conference on Communications and Networking in Sardinia from 6 to 9 July, and at GLOBECOM in Macau from 7 to 11 December. As the program continues to grow, it could become a signature ComSoc initiative, one that strengthens the research ecosystem, supports emerging talent, and ensures that promising ideas find pathways to real-world impact.
