China Deploys Humanoid Robots for Border Patrol
China is starting to use humanoid robots for patrolling and helping with logistics at its border with Vietnam.
These robots, made by a company called UBTECH, are like adult-sized humans with arms, legs, and a body.
They can walk, lift things, and even guide people.
The robots are very smart and can make decisions on their own.
They can also change their own batteries without any help.
China plans to make thousands of these robots in the next few years and use them in different places like factories and data centers.
China is deploying humanoid robots at its border with Vietnam for patrolling and logistics.
UBTECH Robotics Corp won a $37 million contract to deploy its Walker S2 robots.
The robots are industrial-grade, capable of lifting, patrolling, and managing crowd flow.
They use BrainNet 2.0 AI architecture for autonomous decision-making and battery swapping.
China plans to produce 5,000 units by 2026 and 10,000 by 2027 for various industries.
