00:00 Robots have come a long way in just the past couple of years, with Boston Dynamics robot
00:08 now providing utility out in the wild.
00:11 But now artificial intelligence is changing the game, and now this Chinese robotics company
00:15 is shifting from quadrupedal to bipedal humanoid robots, all thanks to AI.
00:21 This is Wang Jingjing, developer of the new H1 robot.
00:25 The automaton stands nearly 6 feet tall and weighs just over 100 pounds.
00:29 The robot is already quite functional, able to handle walking over different terrain types.
00:33 However, the team have only been developing the bot for around 6 months.
00:37 Wang says this speed in development was driven largely by new advances in AI, with the company's
00:42 CEO saying, "Rather than programming new individual movements, a labor-intensive process,
00:47 the robot instead learns like a human might," with H1 recently teaching itself how to raise
00:52 its hand and walk up stairs, meaning they expect the robot to continue with its rapid
00:57 improvement, and who knows what the robot will be able to do next.
