China Unveils ANOTHER NEW Humanoid ROBOT! (Tiangong) New Humanoid ROBOT

so it has been an absolutely massive week for China as seemingly not only have they released a new humanoid robot and an advanced AI system they've now gone ahead and released a fully Advanced humanoid robot that they are dubbing Tang gong it's apparently the world's first fully electric powered anthropomorphic fullsize humanoid robot so essentially they've released a very short new demo in which they showcase this robot's abilities and we're going to be diving into this and showcasing why this is so fascinating in terms of the world of AI so let's take a look here at this short demo so one of the things to note about this demo is that this demo wasn't exactly the longest kind of demo there was another one released that I'll leave a link to in the description but of course copyright is a big issue so essentially the reason I think this humanoid robot is rather fascinating is because of how it is powered there's dat that this is fully electric and that this is capable running solely on electric drive now this comes after a slew of announcements from China in terms of many other developments in the nation and this one actually did come as a surprise because I do know that China does have other humanoid robots in there like the gl1 and many other humanoid robot platforms but this one was rather surprising now you can see here that the way how this robot walks it does actually look very normal and one of the capabilities they showcased about this robot was the ability for this to almost get up some steps and it was pretty weird because one thing I noticed about this demo was the fact that as this robot is going up the steps it accidentally well I'm not even sure if this accidentally or not but I usually don't see this in robotics but if we highlight this area here you're going to see that this robot is kind of tripping as it goes up there I don't know if you guys can see that but it literally looked as if it was tripping but I'm guessing that maybe this robot has some kind of advanced system where it's able to self-correct as it goes up which does mean that this robot is very stable in terms of the stability mechanics that they've used which is very good now in addition with that what we do have is we do have a scenario where there are some key features mentioned so one of the key features mentioned about this robot is of course the fact that it can run through slope Terrain in blind mode and I'm guessing that this is potentially a mode where they don't actually use the vision senters because if they're stating in blind mode I'm guessing that the legs are pre-programmed to pretty much walk over any terrain so that means that this robot is going to be very Nimble and agile when it comes to navigating different environments potentially environments that are foreign to this and environments that it wasn't trained on and that is very good because there are always going to be unique scenarios in which a robot is going to have to walk up in essentially a zero shot context and be able to clear the path so this does show us some really unique engineering and I think something that people might miss is that as the robot walks down here you can see that the level and the angle of the feet actually change and the reason this is so important is because many of the times in demos that we've seen recently we see robots and they walk around on the back here like for example we'll see a robot walking around on this flat surface right here but we won't see robots actually tack going up and actually going downstairs we'll see a cool demo with some hands which is all very good and well but what we don't see is this right here and I know this is very subtle which is why I'm trying to point it out to you but as the robot goes down you're going to see that the foot of the robot is of course here then as it goes down it Slants its legs just like a human would which is very important for adjusting your stability and ensuring your stable so you can see that as the robot goes down it then adjusts its legs so that it's very stable walking down and this is something that's rather important and then we can see this being done here and this is of course a very unique design and something that we didn't see in many of the other robot designs which I think is actually very important so this was a key thing that I actually saw that I was like okay they definitely worked on these legs for quite some time because they're very Nimble in being able to handle a majority of different situations and I think it's really important that we do not underestimate

how important that is now there were some additional things that I did find to be completely interesting one of those things was of course the fact that this humanoid robot is a bit lacking in the arm Department I'm guessing that this humanoid robot they mainly did focus on of course the legs because once again the robot is able to run in this mode and this shows us that this robot has actually a pretty quick step to be honest with you guys getting a robot to move this fast without any overhead hanging cable is a huge feat that is not to be scoffed at because this definitely means that the stability mechanics of this robot are completely incredible and of course by the demo we can see that it does oddly look as if this robot is kind of half-developed not to take any shots at it but it does seem that they've been working on the legs quite a lot more than they have the Torso almost seems as if it's entirely made up of just a battery and then of course the hands look severely underdeveloped not in any kind of bad ways but it just doesn't have anything too crazy on it I mean there's no arms I guessing maybe you can have that in the future but it definitely is a very interesting humanoid robot now of course with the cameras it does actually talk about how there are several cameras there that it can be used to of course navigate certain environments and this was developed by the Beijing humanoid robot Innovation Center company and it actually stands at a height of 1. 63 M and weighs 43 kg it can also maintain a steady running speed of 6 kmph and also the multiple Vision perception senses that are located here are high Precision units are 550 trillion operations per second 3D Vision sensors and high Precision 6 axis Force sensors for accurate force feedback now one of the things that I was actually doing some research on when I was looking into this robot was I found out that this robot is actually open source so this was something that I think is rather fascinating because it's a bit different when you take a look at what robots are capable to do now open source is pretty crazy because open source actually helps out the community in a very insane way we can see here that this demo they're stating that tiang gong has open source and compatible scalability now I do think that is probably not the most accurate translation but if this robot is open source and it is developed in that manner this is going to be pretty crazy because open source projects actually benefit from contributions from a global community of developers and engineers and this can accelerate Innovation as more individuals and teams can experiment with and improve the robots design and functionality now of course when they actually do open source this robot it also does provide a layer of transparency because this allows people to truly understand how this robot works and this means that you can build trust and reliability as users can verify the safety the security and functionality of the robots considering the fact that many people are fearful of this technology and what's actually really good and one of the things I think are really important for this if it actually is open source is the fact that an open source robot can actually be a valuable resource for educational institutions and research organizations and students and researchers can actually study the robot's design and operation which can lead to educational advancements and new research projects and one of the things that I'm truly excited for with this robot is that if it is truly open source this is going to foster a vast ecosystem of developers and innovators to be building on this platform where they can potentially customize the robot in certain ways that the initial creators may have not realized were useful or utilize it for certain things that could actually show us humanoid robotics moving in a completely new Direction so overall what we have here was a extremely interesting humanoid robot I've got to be honest with you guys this thing looks absolutely incredible in terms of the design and slickness and I'm wondering if in the future well I'm guessing probably so that they may include some hands or some grippers that this robot may have as some functionality because right now it does seem a little bit underdeveloped in terms of that area but maybe this robot is for different things I guess we will have to see but so far this is looking very good and I have to say China have been nonstop with their releases recently in terms of the kinds of Technologies they've been developing
