“A Chinese technology company announced earlier this week that it has begun the mass production of general-purpose robots.
AgiBot, also known as Zhiyuan, a start-up that launched in February 2023, [released a video](https://twitter.com/globaltimesnews/status/1869773497293267096) on its website of its new robots on December 16.
The firm has manufactured nearly 1,000 of the humanoid robots so far, according to *The Global Times*.
AgiBot shared a four-minute long video showcasing the stages of its robotic production line at the Lingang Fengxian factory in Shanghai.
This includes inventory shelving, component assembly, component testing, aging tests and performance testing, where some of the company’s pre-made robots are shown assisting the process.
AgiBot is also working on “massive data collection” to advance artificial intelligence (AI) training and equip its robots with “intelligent brains to interact seamlessly with the world around them.”
Remember the pictures of mass graves of scooters? MMW: there will be mass robot graves very soon.
in ten years there will be an article Humanoid Robots being mass produced by Humanoid Robots
I wonder if anyone has compiled a chart of all humanoid robots in development ranking them best to worst.
With all the chat gpt and drones, now human sized robots. Maybe skynet is truly beginning in 2024.
Decades of internationally poaching scientists, aggressively negotiating with tech companies, and sending students abroad to bring back know-how have put China in a competitive position for a lot of technologies and putting them to use, at least in their urban areas.
IMO while the USA leads the cutting edge in research for new products, China might overtake most countries in socially implementing modern technologies in its cities, such as public security tech, digital payments, high speed rail, and green energy.
When I read this, I am starting to hear “T2: Judgement day music” in my head.
Do they have any contracts in place to sell these? What are the applications they are going for? From the movement on screen these aren’t really fast. You can see in the video when the robot is next to a human, they have to increase the playback speeds to make the movement look smoother.
