History met high-tech as China’s National Games kicked off its first-ever cross-boundary torch relay across the Greater Bay Area this weekend! 🔥 The event lit up four cities—Hong Kong, Macao, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen—with a futuristic twist: a humanoid robot joining the flame-bearing tradition.
Meet Kuavo, the open-source robot developed by Shenzhen’s Leju Robotics, which stole the show as a special torchbearer. 🤖✨ The agile bot gripped the 1.6-kilogram torch and smoothly passed the flame between relay legs, proving that even centuries-old traditions can get a tech upgrade.
This year’s Games are blending innovation and culture like never before, showcasing China’s push into next-gen robotics. As Kuavo’s gears whirred alongside human athletes, it hinted at a future where AI and humanity collaborate—not just in sports, but in redefining what’s possible. 🚀
