A demonstration video released on Thursday shows the Walker S2 robot, developed by UBTech Robotics, walking over to a charging station, removing a depleted battery from its chest, inserting it into a charging dock, and then installing a fresh battery before wandering off.
The feature means the robot can – in theory, at least – work non-stop 24 hours a day without human assistance, according to the company.
China’s humanoid robot industry has made rapid strides in recent years, with the Chinese government identifying robotics and artificial intelligence as crucial strategic industries and providing generous policy support.
Everytime I see a human shaped robot, I know it’s just to impress shareholders.
And my robot vacuum still can’t find its charging base.
More unemployment inc, because R2D2 is going to take it soon along with his buddy J5.
need a live demonstration of this one , until that i am not believing
If I see this on the jobsite im blindfolding it’s camera and pushing it down a set of stairs
Honestly given the potential use cases of humanoid robots that run off batteries, probably remote and unpredictable terrain, it’s not the worst idea to have „put own batteries in“ capabilities for emergencies, even if it’s probably not the most efficient way to do it.
