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.

    Honestly even remotely controlled robotics with motoric skills nearing human level would be already mindblowing and would allow china to lead the next big technological revolution like the us did with the information age.

      You can see a lot of times individual robots having to keep their balance as small things go differently. Regardless of how the routine was programmed, it’s impressive they can do it.

      I can’t imagine them being programmed or controlled by anything other than motion capture. But I don’t think live remote control actually gives you any advantage unless you have a live feedback system which would be more impressive than the actual robotics.

      Like you can see the robots sometimes make micro-adjustments when they’re slightly off balance. And they made a point of having the robots interact with live people.
