I, Humanoid
China’s humanoid robotics industry is growing fast. As the world’s largest robot producer, the country has seen these machines explode in popularity over the past two years, becoming ubiquitous at events, from live concerts to marathon races, and drawing crowds with their flashy moves. Yet many wonder why they remain largely confined to the stage rather than performing real work in factories and homes. In this issue, we speak with industry insiders to examine their current applications and what still stands in the way of their use in practical, everyday tasks.
