Inside the exhumanoid plant in Beijing, a new generation of robots is taking shape.
Step by step, the robots are assembled, tested, and then programmed.
They're big, bulky, ready to run or crawl through hazardous terrain.
It looks aggressive.
It's marching.
Should it be seen as something that is going to be maybe part of your military one day?
>> No. Yeah. No. Yeah. We don't want the robots to do that. Yeah. We want robot to help people.
>> The company says these robots will make living easier by helping humans and could even be used in emergency situations.
>> So when you talk about helping out in the household, >> give me some examples like help watch the children, help uh maybe elderly residents, clean dishes.
I mean, what is it going to do?
>> The elderly maybe because less and less people want to have kids nowadays.
It's clear there's still a lot of experimenting going on including this silicon-like face on the humanoid head.
What is this?
>> It's a bionic face because like in the future we want the robot have more how say like temperature. So we want it like also look like human.
>> So you're going to put these faces these heads on the robots?
>> Yeah. Like in the future.
>> Exhumoid says these robots are still 3 to 5 years from hitting the market.
Most of the functions we saw were controlled by remote, but the goal is full autonomy.
>> There is a big gap between what they can do physically and what they can do autonomously.
This is where they need the training data and they need the improvements in the AI.
>> But China is closing that gap with startling speed.
At a recent half marathon pitting Chinese humanoids besides real life runners, a robot named Lightning won the race, finishing in just 50 minutes and 26 seconds.
A record-breaking pace and a huge leap from last year's race where many models could barely maintain their balance.
Off the track, the technology is already being put to work in major cities.
China has robots managing traffic at busy intersections.
It's all part of an allout sprint for tech dominance.
Just like with EVs, solar panels, and cell phones, China is flooding the zone with more than 150 companies trying to outproduce the rest of the world.
One part of the industry that is already bringing in cash, rent a robot.
In China, these pintsized humanoids are delivered straight to your door. like this soccer plane robot we rented.
A little rusty at first, >> but after a few face plants, this little guy finds his footing and he can kick around, even scoring some goals.
