China is using AI-driven humanoid robots to improve intelligent automation in the manufacturing industry. This humanoid robot named NAVIAI, from the Zhejiang Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, is currently undergoing training at the Geely Auto Lynk & Co factory. It can evenly apply sealant to designated areas during the glass sealing process of the vehicle body. In the charging detection process at the end of the assembly line, it can adapt to slight deviations during the plugging and unplugging process.
