Recently gaining attention after appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, Yushu Robotics has rolled out an upgraded version of its products.

Yushu Technology released a new video illustrating how its robots can fluidly perform actions such as clapping, twisting, and executing cross steps with impressive stability and natural transitionsThese robots can dance rhythmically to music, displaying remarkable agility and human-like characteristics thanks to AI advancementsYushu Technology remarked, “With algorithm upgrades, any dance can be learned.”

At a recent symposium for private enterprises, Wang Xingxing, a representative from Yushu Technology, shared insights during an interview, stating that the evolution of AI-powered robots is accelerating rapidly, with expectations set for humanoid robots to reach a new level by the end of this yearThe dual push from supportive policies and market demand is continuously releasing innovative potential in the robotics field, positioning it as a pivotal force in industry advancement.

Furthermore, according to news from the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, a humanoid robot known as "Tiangong," developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, successfully scaled the highest point of Haizi Wall Park in Tongzhou District during real outdoor terrain tests, making it capable of climbing multiple stairs outdoors continuously.

In practical applications, locations such as the Shenzhen Wild Animal Park, Enshi Grand Canyon in Hubei Province, and the Mount Tai scenic area in Shandong have recently introduced exoskeleton robots, garnering significant attention online.

According to a recent report from Morgan Stanley on humanoid robots, the potential market size for embodied intelligence could reach a staggering $60 trillionThe report also outlines the top 100 listed companies within the global humanoid robot industry chain, with China's industry boasting the highest representation, featuring 35 companies.
