It is impressive where AI and new tech is taking the robotics industry in China. In my opinion, we do not need them to look like humans. These still fall straight into the uncanny valley and evoke feelings of distrust.
People will humanize a trash can on wheels like R2D2 before they feel comfortable with these things which is quite creepy with certain facial expressions! Should be focusing more on utility than aesthetics really.

It is impressive where AI and new tech is taking the robotics industry in China. In my opinion, we do not need them to look like humans. These still fall straight into the uncanny valley and evoke feelings of distrust. People will humanize a trash can on wheels like R2D2 before they feel comfortable with these things which is quite creepy with certain facial expressions! Should be focusing more on utility than aesthetics really.  #Artificial Intelligence #Only In China 🇨🇳  China robot conference: Hyper-realistic androids show off emotional range in Beijing Visitors were treated to a display of vivid androids among others at the 2023 World Robot Conference (WRC) in China's capital Beijing on Thursday, with new technological advancements that upgraded the humanoid robots' micro-expressions and gestures.  The human-like robots won praise from some visitors while others expressed shock at their hyper-realistic appearance.

The race to launch the first humanoid robot is quickly becoming one of 2024’s most defining tech stories. Throughout the year, we’ve seen a number of demos from Tesla, Boston Scientific, and more showcasing humanoid robots designed to complete tasks both in professional and home environments.
The latest robot friend to grab the internet’s attention is the Neo Beta. It’s built by 1x Technologies, a company backed by Open AI and most recently raised a whopping $100 million in funding. It’s designed from the ground up as the company’s first foray into home robotics after a decade of building for factories. 
It’s designed for general purposes, such as tasks around the home like cleaning, moving furniture, carrying objects, and even pouring a beverage. All of these tasks are performed autonomously using a built-in AI system. It stands at about the height of an average human, can lift double its weight (66 pounds, by the way), and can run up to speeds of 7.5 miles per hour. 
Understandably, one of the big questions about AI-powered humanoid robots is safety. The last thing humanity needs is a human-robot war akin to Terminator or, on a lesser scale, a robot giving you attitude. To this effect, the Neo bot has been specially designed to avoid posing a threat. It’s considerably lighter and softer than other competitors. It’s clad in a jumpsuit-like material instead of metal or hard plastic and has cushions where human muscles would be. 
1x plans to start deploying Neo bots in a few select homes this year, with a big focus on research and development before the company begins to open the technology to the general public. My only question is, when are we going to get a Wall-E-style robot?
