HUMANOID robots might “soon” be brought to the homes of everyday people, according to a new robotics centre in Beijing.
The robots, which use AI and resemble human bodies in shape, are expected to propel China forward in its tech war with the US.
Months-old robotics centre Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Centre has so far provided minimal details about its latest project to release a general-purpose humanoid robot prototype.
But it assured the robot will be brought into existence “soon”, South China Morning Post reports.
The machines are expected to supplement China’s shrinking labour force, as the massive economy pushes to upgrade its growth drivers with new tech-led “productive forces”.
An unnamed source with the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Centre told the Beijing Youth Daily: “It is the dream of every humanoid robot company to bring humanoid robots into thousands of households.”
