China’s New Bionic AI Robots Look Too Human With Artificial Skin

From the creator

China’s new bionic AI robots read the news with artificial skin, camera eyes, and faces designed by Zhang Yimou. UBTech and Xinhua bring humanoid anchors into the newsroom, while AgiBot tests 6 robots in a real store for 24 hours. Meanwhile, Figure fills its headquarters with humanoids, and researchers use artificial blood to grow a working sensor inside a robot moth. 👉 Robot news on MACHINEKIND: https://www.youtube.com/@MACHINEKINDx 📩 Brand Deals & Partnerships: collabs@nouralabs.com ✉️ General Inquiries: airevolutionofficial@gmail.com 🔍 What You'll See UBTech and Xinhua unveil humanlike robot news anchors with artificial skin and a controlled news AI.

Controlled news sources raise questions about trust, while store trials expose gaps in reliability and initiative. Growing sensors could expand what robots can detect, but humans still decide where and when those sensors form. #AI #Robots #Humanoid

AI Maker Residence 4

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. This fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
