China’s recent advancements in humanoid robotics, highlighted by the development of agile, high-speed sprinting robots, reflect an intensifying global technological competition with the United States. Supported by government initiatives, robust manufacturing ecosystems, and integrated supply chains, Chinese robotics companies are accelerating efforts to commercialize bipedal machines. These developments aim to address shifting demographics and boost industrial productivity, targeting deployment across manufacturing, logistics, and service sectors.
- Chinese tech firms and research institutes have demonstrated humanoid robots capable of high-speed running, dynamic balancing, and navigating uneven terrain.
- The robotics push forms part of a broader technological competition between China and the United States in artificial intelligence, hardware design, and automation.
- Strategic national roadmaps in China target mass production and widespread integration of humanoid robotics across major industries by 2025.
- Access to extensive domestic supply chains allows Chinese manufacturers to iterate hardware rapidly and lower the production costs of advanced robotic components.
- Targeted long-term use cases for humanoid units include factory automation, hazardous material handling, warehousing, and eldercare assistance.

Beyond the sprint, this interview explores a bigger question: who will lead the humanoid robotics revolution, and what could that mean for the balance of technological power between China, the US and Europe?
Who's is winning the Robot Race?
Check it out. 🇨🇳not beating 🇺🇸.
Not even qualified as competition since rivals ain't meeting the scalability and range of the 🇨🇳 Technology and Engineering features and capabilities.
Just watch some 🇨🇳 news media on CCTV, cgtn, ShanghaiEye and Shenzhen for less than couple of months.
🇨🇳Technology Productivity is evidential and functioning across all industries from land, air and sea.
Technology Gap of countries outside 🇨🇳 is not only measured by ledgers, fiscal years and Technology industry GDP.
Gap relies on the Technology and Engineering ecosystem of 🇨🇳.
Metrics scales from number of
technology and Engineering universities,
Graduates students,
Inter industry collaborations with Technology and Engineering,
Availability of Raw Materials, Machines and Equipments (🇨🇳 Global Factory),
Industry standards and adaptation,
Government laws and support,
And endless dimensions.
But maybe it's not late to start and catch up. Maybe.
Better start picking up Mandarin. 😅
Start business partnerships with 🇨🇳.
FYI review the broadcasting and reporting layout. Needs ethical upgrade. ✌️
Reporters New Zealand accent is as clear as day!😀🙌
The West thought they would simply use China as a source of cheap labor… now, they are in awe of China's technology.
I think Lindsay may be more qualified in hullo kitty, her bubbling commentary on chinese robotics is unrealistic , a clock work designed to put one foot in front of the other, with a human holding a remote controller.
The video doesn't show all the false starts crashes and how it can not stop but simply fall over at the end of the run
He couldn’t outrun Biden last year, yet this year he’s nearly as fast as Bolt.
Don’t Worry do a just Toys. They’re just useless.
Cylons … Battle Star Galactica
Having the robot witha quasi-human shape is a kind of gaslighting. They're just mechanical devices.
Two years ago, those humanoid robots couldn't walk like human toddlers, now they can run faster than Usainbot. I couldn't wait to see what those humanoid robots will become after ten years.
Why are the ladies so glad because of the communists regime technology success? It’s worrying at least. Where are the German robots to protect the free world? Again relying on US?
Imagine 1M of these robots running at that speed, strapped with machine guns, grenade launchers, and rpgs, with precision aim, tracking, intelligence fighting the next world war. Go China!
To become a member of the ruling party in China, a necessary condition is to be an electrical or mechanical engineer. To become a politician in Europe or America, it is enough to be popular on Twitter and Instagram.
Humanoid robot is just like a knife. It depends on who is using it.
Sorry to say. It seems that being dumb is now a stereotype of the west. Look at this reporter
DW…Hmmm
Cudos to DW for having an NZ presenter. Let's swap our i's and e's.
Why hasn’t a single person mentioned that these are all remote controlled?
We are not concerned, if the USA collect all our data.
what they talking?,i heard robots,we all know china already leads 😅
The issue is not merely about robots and future AI technology; China is set to surpass the U.S. in AI, technology, and various fields of scientific innovation.
I mean it’s too late. They’ve already way ahead of us and so many different ways. The only thing that we can do though is copy and innovate better than they can.
They declassified how I got autism
My dog runs even faster, multiple times a minute, and when he arrives, he wants to play; he is affectionate, loving, and, above all, more human than a metal box.
Humanoid robots won't be used to dry the dishes, but for war. That’s obvious.
Typical of such people, Trying to downplay a significant improvement. No it's not for football or entertainment, it's for improving humans ' lives.
Competition with whom? Definitely not Germany or EU. Because you guys are too busy being a vassal of America and Israel.
bayangkan china membuat robot setinggi 30 cm membawa pistol maju ke medan perang, dimana robot2 ini bisa bergerak tanpa suara dan bergerak mengendap-endap. pasti bakal menjadi masalah besar bagi tentara musuh karena susah untuk dideteksi, dan ketika terdeteksi, susah untuk ditembak kwkwkw.
Is the anchor a robot? She looks and sounds it?
Sorry, hate her accent. Hard to understand
"competition" lol
China could cut off supply lol. As Trump bans chips and closed straits 😂
era uma corrida? porque os EUA ainda estão na linha de inicio da corrida e a China na linha de chegada? era mesmo uma corrida? não houve tempo pros EUA sequer tentar.
boo
This is what happens when you sell Kuka Robots to China
These aren't autonomous robots they are little more than radio controlled cars on bipedal legs. You can see the controllers running behind directing them.
Why it is not a national security threat for US to hold the data of the world?????
Lolz. talking about wearing out the novelty. Go and check battlebots fights, hundreds of thousand of people watch every fight
這根本沒本質上可比性,不能把中國跟美國比,因為美國只有戰爭,只想搶別人的資源。
The name of the game is FOOT🦶BALL⚽ The clue is in the title.
Give that robot RPGs, Javelin missiles and a AK47 and let 10 million into England. PAYBACK.
Not counted the dam thing had no head, too creepy!
Who expect robot sports? These competitions are for development. She doesn't strike me as someone with sound logic.
🚨🚨FACTS: Imprisoning 2 million Uyghurs and forcing their women to install IUD birth control within a year to reduce Uyghur birth rates. Then they evolved that into 3 million labor slaves to work. Uyghurs aren't allowed to speak their language. This is ethnic cleansing and slavery in modern day broad daylight. And they are advancing in tech. This is how sci fi horrors start out.
Don't think the robot producers had Usain Bolt in mind when they created the Robot. Next, the boxing robot will be compared with Ali !
