  • China’s Sprinting Robots Expose AI’s Weakness

    China’s Humanoid Robot Games showcased 500 robots sprinting, boxing, and dancing, but revealed key paradoxes: spectacle over substance. Most lacked autonomy, relying on remote control. While China excels in building robotic bodies, it lags in cognition and perception. True progress lies not in speed but in safe, adaptive, everyday applications.

  • Why Humanoid Robots Are Missing The Point

    Humanoid robots may look futuristic, but they often miss the point. While designed to mimic humans and perform their tasks, they’re clumsy and inefficient compared to specialized robots. Instead of improving life, they often rely on human operators, turning them into tools that hide human labor behind a mechanical facade.

  • Humanoid Waltzs By Mirroring People’s Movements

    A new AI system, ExBody2, enables humanoid robots to learn movements by mirroring human actions. By using motion-capture data and reinforcement learning, ExBody2 helps robots replicate complex movements like walking and dancing, including waltzing with humans. This advancement improves robots’ fluidity and coordination, making their movements more human-like.
