Midea Group humanoid robot prototype was first exposed, and can perform various actions

Midea Group recently released a humanoid robot prototype for the first time and released an 11-second video showing its ability to dance, erect and execute voice commands. Wei Chang, vice president and CTO of Midea Group, announced that the company has established a humanoid robot innovation center, focusing on the research and development of core components, machine development and home appliance robotization. With the technical accumulation of the acquisition of Kuka Group, Midea already has a mature team in the field of industrial robots, which will accelerate the research and development of humanoid robots. Wei Chang pointed out that the biggest challenge of humanoid robots is to solve the actual needs of users. It is expected that they will be applied first to industrial and commercial scenarios, and then gradually enter the home. Home appliance robotization may be the direction for faster implementation. Midea will integrate resources and develop more products that can be implemented in the short term.
