Robots from China are ready to become your soul... companion. 🤖 Today (June 30), Chinese robotics company UBTech officially launched the U1 Series — a full-size ultra-bionic humanoid robot. Equipped with a nurturing emotional AI model, it features soft synthetic skin, incredibly realistic facial features and appearance. I touched its “skin” — it’s soft, glossy, and elastic, but cold to the touch, lacking the warmth of a real human body. How much would you pay to take one home? #UBTech #U1Robot #HumanoidRobot #AICompanionshow more

In the future, it might just be humanoid robots... doing the refueling!🤖⛽️ Sinopec plans to introduce humanoid robot workers across its gas stations. They will handle tasks like fueling, picking up items, restocking, and inspections,working alongside human staff, especially during peak holiday periods in China to ease service pressure. With more than 30,000 gas stations across the country (most of them equipped with convenience stores), this implies a deployment of at least 30,000 humanoid robots. The robot is a wheeled humanoid developed by Beijing-based company FIVEAGES.show more

Humanoid robot malfunctions at a school sports day in... China It reportedly got confused by too many people, tripped, then started throwing kung-fu kicks at performers Or maybe it was performing kung-fu Drunken Master all along — then the execution was accurateshow more

The most dangerous part of a humanoid robot may... be the face. UBTECH’s Walker shows how a machine can use gaze stillness and humanlike expression to create trust before proving judgment reliability or accountability. Should robots be allowed to look this human in public spaces? Putting the debate aside this is clearly a work of art. Congratulations to UBTECH for this achievement. Walker looks so refined that I may need to buy one fast before the stock runs out lol. Credit : UBTECH Roboticsshow more

Two years ago, Wang Xingxing launched the Unitree H1... humanoid robot. Instead of a mere prototype demonstration, he made the robot immediately available for purchase. At the time, the decision seemed audacious. Why would anyone buy a full-sized humanoid at that stage? As it turned out, the H1 and subsequent Unitree models became the preferred platforms for researchers worldwide. This bold strategy advanced China's position in the global robotics race, while the affordability of high-performance hardware has accelerated progress across the field by enabling broader experimentation in embodied AI.show more

AgiBOT’s humanoid robot A2 just achieved a Guinness World... Record. It walked 106KM from Suzhou’s Jinji Lake all the way to the Shanghai Bund, earning the title of “Longest Distance Walked by a Humanoid Robot.” A2 ran non-stop for 3 days and 3 nights, powered by hot-swappable batteries that kept it going without interruption. With dual GPS modules, a LiDAR sensor, and an infrared depth camera, A2 navigated reliably through city streets, highways, tourist areas, bridges, slopes, tactile paving, and even low-light nighttime environments. After more than 100 km, the robot was still in great condition,only the rubber on the soles showed some wear. Beyond marathon walking, effectively testing the overall performance and component stress, it can provide customers with a reliable standard for procurement. The company plans to deploy over 1,000 units in 2025 for tasks like reception, guiding visitors, delivery, and sorting.show more

🚨 THIS IS HOW IT STARTS — HUMANOID ROBOT... SUDDENLY LUNGES AT A MAN — EXACTLY THE MOMENT PEOPLE FEARED A humanoid robot was casually kicking a soccer ball around during a public demonstration. Then the ball rolled toward a man in the audience. He tried to kick it back. That’s when the robot suddenly charged toward him and raised its arm like it was about to swing. Within seconds, a handler rushed in and grabbed the robot before the moment escalated. People in the room laugh nervously… but the clip is making the rounds online for one reason: The movement looks almost human. The way it runs. The stance. The arm coming up. Even the comments are losing it: • “Tf was it going to HIT for???” • “Why did it need to be held back?” • “DON’T TOUCH MY BALL” • “How do they get pissed off if they supposedly don’t have emotions?” The strangest part? The robot seemed to react the instant the human interfered with the ball. Are we just watching a glitch during a demo… or the exact moment people warned about?show more

A Southwest Airlines flight from Oakland to San Diego... was delayed 62 minutes Thursday after an unusual passenger triggered extra safety checks — a 4-foot, 70-pound humanoid robot named “Bebop.” Owned by Elite Event Robotics, Bebop was given its own seat after its case was too heavy to check following a Bay Area event. Crew later moved the robot from an aisle seat, then confiscated its lithium battery after discovering it exceeded airline safety limits for fire risk. Bebop eventually made it to San Diego battery-free.show more

🇨🇳 CHINA NOW HAS A TERMINATOR PATROLLING WITH POLICE... IN PUBLIC In the south of China, a humanoid robot straight out of a sci-fi movie was spotted walking side by side with real armed cops. It happened in Shenzhen, where the machine, EngineAI T800, casually joined police patrol like it’s 2049 already. Yeah, they literally called it the T800, and it looks like a jacked metal soldier ready to arrest your grandma for walking too slow. This went down at “Window of the World,” a major tourist spot, and no one even blinked. Source: Shenzhen Channelshow more

BOOM! Humanoid Robots Just Performed Surgery for the First... Time! REAL VIDEO! In a groundbreaking preclinical breakthrough, researchers at UC San Diego have achieved what many thought was years away: teleoperated humanoid robots successfully completing live surgeries. Published in Nature, the study marks the world’s first use of humanoid robots for in-vivo laparoscopic procedures on large animals (pigs). Two separate surgeries were completed: Key Details •. Procedure: Laparoscopic gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) •. Team 1: Human surgeon + one humanoid robot (the robot performed core tasks while the human assisted) •. Team 2: Two humanoid robots working together with no human at the operating table •. Robots: Custom “Surgie” humanoids (~5 ft tall, ~60 lbs) using standard surgical tools •. Control: Fully teleoperated by surgeons (remote human control, not autonomous) •. Significance: First demonstration of humanoid robots handling real surgical workflows in a live setting, proving compatibility with existing OR tools and spaces This proof shows humanoid robots could one day help address surgeon shortages, enable remote procedures in rural areas, battlefields, or even space all at a fraction of the cost and space of traditional surgical robots like da Vinci. Read the full publication here: Project page with video: The future of surgery just got a whole lot more interesting. And medical cost for the first time in decades will be scheduled to go down, much further down.show more

🇨🇳 Saw my first actually useful robot You know... those toll way machines and you're always too far off the machine and have to hang out the window to pay, or you're too close and your wheel hits the side In Beijing they have a robot arm for it Although to be fair in Europe we just have a sensor we glue to the windshield and it auto charges your bank via IBAN So maybe not so useful But it looks cool!show more
