UBTECH's humanoid robot Walker S Lite has worked for 21 consecutive days in Zeekr's car factory. During the 3-week trial period, the bot has showcased VSLAM navigation, end-to-end imitation learning, visual precision recognition, and full-body fine motion control.

In Feb this year, UBTECH demoed Walker S doing tasks at a NIO car factory.

UBTECH has a partnership with Baidu to integrate LLM as a task interpretation/planning layer.

UBTech has a lot of potential.

The Lite has the size, legs and torso proportions of the original Walker. Closer to what would be a home product. The arms and necks have apparent wires: recent adaptations. I recognise the red emergency stop button.

Yeah, it looks nothing like their latest gen Walker S. The naming is pretty confusing.

He's ASIMO from the waist down. Good to see that neat design not being totally abandoned.

Nah that looks CGI lol

This is absolute torture to watch. I’m sure this robot is junk.

Still a gadget

Humanoid Hub, to the best of your knowledge, what is involved to speed things up? More processing power, to handle the body? (for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction); if I move more quickly, my body moves in the opposite direction slightly, which requires processing power. This robot is slow. If I take a human, they’re fast. What is involved in speeding things up? Processing power?
