Oh man,
I want one of these!
Unveiled on September 18th at, "An exhibition of major achievements of
the national 10th Five-Year program," The "Huitong" robot, "possesses
functions including sense of sight, audio dialogue, sense of force and
sense of balance. This humanoid robot with independent intellectual
property realizes complicated human actions, such as Taijiquan (or
shadowboxing) and saberplay."
Yeh buddy, "Saberplay." I can just picture an army of hundreds of these
with swords coming after me. Apparently, the Chinese don't want to be
outdone by the
Koreans and
Japanese.
