A Dongfeng subsidiary producing commercial vehicles will use an AI-backed humanoid robot in its facilities. The robot is called Walker S and is manufactured by Chinese company Ubtech Technology. Walker S will be able to perform complex inspection, assembly, and logistics tasks. Automakers have long leaned on machinery to manage the heavy lifting in their production facilities. But as technology advances, equipment is evolving into smarter and more complex forms.
Additionally, it will have the capability to operate alongside other automated machinery for handling more intricate unmanned production scenarios. As reported by IThome, the humanoid robot is equipped with 41 high-performance servo joints and a multitude of advanced sensors including force perception, vision, and hearing capabilities. These features enable it to monitor its surroundings and engage with both individuals and machinery.
