Chinese company releases video proving its robot army is real

(Dan Tri) - Chinese technology company UBTech has released a behind-the-scenes video to prove that its newly manufactured army of humanoid robots is real, not a graphic product.

Recently, the robotics technology company UBTech caused a stir in public opinion when it released a video of the production process of hundreds of Walker S2 humanoid robots. These robots are said to soon join the production lines in factories and warehouses of many companies.

The video, shared by UBTech last month, shows an "army" of Walker S2 robots moving in sync, flexibly and especially with the ability to automatically change batteries to operate continuously 24/7.

This scene reminds many people of science fiction movies, where humanoid robots operate completely autonomously.

UBTech proudly announced on its YouTube channel: "A huge milestone has been achieved. The world's first mass delivery of a humanoid robot has been completed. Hundreds of UBTech Walker S2 robots have been delivered to partners. The future of industrial automation has arrived. Go for the transformation."

However, this video quickly met with skepticism from the online community and the technology industry. Brett Adcock, CEO of the humanoid robot company Figure (USA), publicly questioned the authenticity of the video, claiming that this was just a product of graphics software (CGI).

Adcock points out unusual details: "Look at the light reflections on the heads of these robots and compare them to the ones behind them. The one in front is real, everything behind is fake. If you see a robot's head reflecting a bunch of ceiling lights, that's a clear sign of CGI."

In response to the wave of doubts, UBTech has released a behind-the-scenes video, recording the process of manufacturing the robot army with original sound and seamless background. UBTech representative affirmed: "This is proof of the authenticity of the footage".

Tan Minh, UBTech's chief brand officer, said the skepticism stemmed from a "lack of understanding of China's manufacturing capabilities and the strength of our supply chain systems and coordination." He also invited critics to China to "witness firsthand the rapid pace of progress in humanoid robotics."

UBTech said that production of humanoid robots has accelerated since November, moving from the prototype stage to practical applications. The company aims to produce 5,000 humanoid robots a year by 2026 and double that to 10,000 robots a year by 2027 to meet rapidly growing market demand.

This is not the first time a Chinese company has been questioned about the authenticity of its humanoid robot. Previously, electric car company Xpeng also had to "strip" its Iron robot to prove that its female robot model was not a human impersonation.

Experts say China is leading the world in the development of humanoid robots, with strong government investment and preferential policies for startups in this field.
