Chinese humanoid robots are having a moment in the spotlight after a standout performance at the country's annual Spring Festival Gala.

MirrorMe Technology's Bolt became the fastest running humanoid robot demonstrated outside computer simulations when it reached a top speed of 22 mph.

At this year's CMG Spring Festival Gala, the world's most-watched television broadcast, four Chinese robotics powerhouses, namely Unitree, MagicLab, Galbot and Noetix, debuted their most advanced units to date. For the robotics industry, this was far more than a cultural performance; it was a high-stakes global product launch.

Its skin is literally warm — and we're not sure we want to know why. The post This Robot With a Working Human Face Is Incredibly Unsettling appeared first on Futurism.

It’s warm bot-tied. Techsperts are sounding alarm bells following the release of an eerily realistic humanoid service bot named Moya with camera eyes and, most creepily, warm skin. Dystopian footage shows the lifelike automaton interacting with guests during its debut at the Zhangjiang Robotics Valley in Shanghai.

Fauna Robotics is launching Sprout as a developer platform for humanoid robots. The robot features 29 degrees of freedom and NVIDIA compute power.

For most everyone, the interaction with artificial intelligence (AI) has been on a screen or on the phone. AI answers questions, summarizes documents, drafts emails, and quietly optimizes our digital lives.

FRANKFURT, Feb 18 (Reuters) - The CEO of Infineon Technologies told daily Handelsblatt that the German semiconductor maker is well-positioned to benefit from a future boom in the market for microchips used in humanoid robots.

The Chinese robotics company plans to ramp up its humanoid production fourfold this year, after shipping 5,000 robots in 2025.

The robots will be unloading totes full of auto parts from an automated warehouse tugger.
