“Orders for UBTECH’s humanoids have surged past 800 million yuan as major automakers and tech firms deploy them for nonstop industrial work.
Automakers are a major force behind the growing demand. BYD, Geely Auto, FAW Volkswagen, and Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor have all signed on. Foxconn is also adding robots to support logistics work.
These organizations want stable 24-hour operations without constant oversight. Early tests show that the robots are performing well in factories and warehouses instead of controlled labs.
The company believes its battery system is the strongest feature of the Walker S2. The robot can remove and replace its own power pack within minutes and does not need any human assistance to do so. This reduces downtime and supports long shifts that involve constant walking and lifting.”

They had to wait until now with the roll out because it took time to train the drivers in India.

So, where do you need to shoot them when they go rogue?
An orange “Shoot here” square should be mandatory on those things.

Is there any footage of these robots doing anything resembling actual work? Or any other robot?

I want to see them all walk in unison with the Imperial March playing in the background…

These cool humanoid bots highlight the need to expel anti-science actual humanoid politicians who drag the US behind the rest of the world in the future of new technologies.

While Americans complain when their jobs get automated, China is going full steam ahead, delaying the mass automation of society and complaining about clankers only guarantees that other countries impose that reality onto you under their terms
