History sprinted forward this month as Kuavo – the world’s first 5G-Advanced humanoid robot – carried the torch for the 15th National Games in Shenzhen! 🏃♂️💨 This milestone blends ancient myth with cutting-edge tech, named after the legendary sun-chaser Kua Fu.
Developed by Lejoin Intelligence with partners like Harbin Institute of Technology, Kuavo’s smooth run relied on next-gen motion algorithms. 🤯 'We upgraded disturbance resistance so it could handle crowds and complex terrain,' said Lejoin partner Cao Yu, noting the bot carried a 1.6kg torch effortlessly.
The secret sauce? A 5G-A data stream letting engineers monitor HD first-person footage in real time – no humans chasing the bot required! 📶 Cao emphasized this wasn’t just a stunt: 'It’s about showing how these technologies can serve everyone.'
Fun fact: Kuavo’s team prioritized making it walk before run – literally. 🚶♂️➡️🏃♂️ Just like its namesake legend, this bot proves China’s tech innovation is racing toward tomorrow!
