Robots & AI

Li Auto's autonomous driving architect Lang Xianpeng is set to depart after transitioning to lead the company's humanoid robot unit two weeks ago.

MirrorMe has unveiled Bolt, which achieved a peak running speed of 10 meters per second in real-world testing.

This marks Nio Capital's second recent investment in a robotics company.

The vision for AI is reshaping automotive companies' organizational structures, with Xpeng being the latest example.

LimX Dynamics was founded in January 2022, with its co-founder coming from WeRide.

Tesla announced on China's Weibo that its third-generation humanoid robot is set to debut soon, which will be the company's first mass-produced humanoid robot.

Unitree G1 humanoid robot walked over 130,000 steps on a -47.4°C snowfield, marking the first autonomous walking by a humanoid robot in extreme cold conditions.

China is good at both AI and manufacturing, and will definitely be the toughest competition for Tesla, Musk said.

Li Auto's autonomous driving chief will become head of hardware operations, primarily overseeing robotics development.

TrendForce forecasts that demand for solid-state batteries in humanoid robots could grow thousands of times over the next decade.
