(Yicai) Jan. 8 -- Chinese embodied artificial intelligence firms, such as Unitree Robotics and AgiBot, have brought their products to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, showcasing robots fighting, practicing aerobics, dancing, and handing out business cards.

Many of these Chinese robotics firms are participating in the CES for the first time this year, hoping to gain more orders from foreign clients and lay the foundation for finding new overseas application scenarios.

The robotics industry still lacks high-quality infrastructure and hardware, a staffer of a robotics company attending the CES for the first time told Yicai. “Even overseas robotics companies cannot do hardware manufacturing without the Chinese supply chain.”

Two Unitree G1 humanoid robots wear protective headgear while fighting in a ring. One nearly got knocked out of the booth, as the intense fight generated excitement among the audience.

Swancor Advanced Materials’ Qiyuan Q1 full-body force-controlled humanoid robot holds a demonstration in front of AgiBot’s booth. A visitor told Yicai this was the first time she had seen such a robot and that China’s innovative robots are cool and cute.

The Booster K1 robot from Booster Robotics performs the traditional Chinese lion dance.

Shanghai-based Fourier showcases a desktop Care-Bot robot concept prototype. It is the size of a doll and supports customized appearance and configuration of interactive personality.

Vbot displays Big Head Bobo, a consumer-grade robot dog that can interact with the audience in English. It offers experiences, such as intelligent navigation and autonomous following without remote control in dog walking.

Bobo’s maximum speed is 13.3 kilometers per hour and can carry a maximum load of 12 kilograms. The global version of Bobo is being developed and is expected to be launched in markets such as North America, Europe, and the Middle East in the second quarter of this year, according to Vbot’s head.
