Stiff to smooth: Robots take giant leap
China DailyIf you thought humanoid robots all have stiff, unnatural movements, it's time to take a new look. A company in Shenzhen has taken a giant leap forward, perfecting robots capable of the smooth, organic movements of real people. EngineAI Robotics captured the public's imagination recently with a viral video showcasing the natural walking gait and balance of its latest robot — designated the SE01 — which moves with a fluidity and stability that closely matches a human. Zhao Tongyang, founder and chairman of EngineAI Robotics, said he believes "that humanoid robots will undoubtedly enter households within the next 10 years, but now it is similar to the early days of smartphones, where constant iterations are needed so the performance and cost-effectiveness will continue to improve". Standing 170 cm tall, the SE01 humanoid robot resembles an adult in size and weight, and it's equipped with an end-to-end neural network and integrated harmonic joint modules.
