Ngl the nunchuck bots looked hilarious but I know that’s probably really impressive. I don’t really understand what this is or is for but damn it’s cool.

    Given the snail pace of development in the west, i would never think i would see a humanoid robot in my lifetime. Hell, Asimov and other authors and movies hyped like 4 generations about them and still nothing. But then Chinese took to it, just few years and i see a robotic kung-fu lol.

      It truly is amazing to watch how fast technology advances in China, and how quickly it finds its way into day to day life and industry. Boston Dynamics was showing off fancy demos for like a decade now, and none of that ended up seeing any real world use aside from small pilot projects. Eventually they got sold off to a Korean company, and I’m still not aware of any big implementations of their tech. Meanwhile in China, humanoid robots are already being used all over the place from factories to stuff like power grid inspection.

        Under capitalism the ROI on humanoid robots is never going to be as good as repressing populations into maximally cheap, ignorant labor forces.

          It’s truly amazing for me how people look at the way China is developing and confidently claim that it’s capitalist. Like if China is capitalist why are things that aren’t happening in any capitalist country constantly happening there.
