Nvidia′s Huang calls China ′formidable′ in robotics as company bets on physical AI (SCMP)
|
|
|
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says the US robotics industry will have to rely on China's supply chain despite the US pioneering the market, as the company bets on physical AI and looks to return to the Chinese market.
“I think China is formidable,” Huang said when asked about the country's rise in the robotics industry during a podcast hosted by Silicon Valley tech executives.
“The reason for that is because their microelectronics, motors, rare earth and magnets – which are foundational to robotics –......

BASF-Chef: China-Investition lohnt sich später als geplant (Cash)
|
|
|
- Wenige Tage vor der Eröffnung eines neuen Chemiewerks in China räumt BASF-Chef Markus Kamieth ein, dass sich diese Milliardeninvestition für den Konzern später als geplant lohnen wird. «Wir starten in einem überversorgten Markt, in dem die Preise und Margen auf einem historisch niedrigen Niveau liegen», sagte Kamieth der «Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung». «Die Profitabilität wird in den ersten Jahren daher deutlich unter dem sein, was wir uns ursprünglich vorgestellt hatten.»...

How China′s tech transformation is putting the ′world′s factory′ in a tough spot (SCMP)
|
|
|
As China undergoes a sweeping economic transition, its regions are also in the process of embracing change. The powerhouses of yesteryear must adapt or risk falling behind, as traditional industries become less reliable growth drivers and new sectors take prominence. In this series, we explore three representative areas of the country as they attempt to navigate this rapidly changing environment.
One morning in December, Zhang Li showed up for work as normal at Everwin Toys in Dongguan to find a......

Watch: China Claims Cyborg Breakthrough To Build An "Army Of Centaurs"
Researchers at Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen have unveiled a wearable robotic system that adds a pair of independent mechanical legs and a torso framework to a human wearer, forming a four-legged hybrid to assist with carrying heavy loads across difficult terrain such as stairs, ramps, and uneven ground, according to the South China Morning Post.
Led by Chenglong Fu, the team of scientists designed the device to combine human cognitive advantages in path planning and decision-making with robotic capabilities for load-bearing and endurance in environments too hazardous or complex for fully autonomous systems. An elastic coupling mechanism synchronizes the robotic legs with the user's movements, allowing the hybrid to share more than half the payload weight while preserving natural gait and balance.
The system consists of two independent robotic legs and a robotic torso which can be atta...

Will Chinese Robot Maker Unitree's Shanghai IPO Spark A Humanoid-Investing Bubble
Unitree Robotics, one of China's top robot makers - spanning robo-dogs to humanoid robots - has filed for a Shanghai STAR Board IPO, according to Bloomberg. The planned listing suggests that the humanoid robotics industry is entering a more accelerated commercialization phase in 2026, with a broader pipeline of public offerings likely to emerge alongside rising private capital flows across Asia and the US.
The report states that Unitree plans to raise $610 million on the STAR Board, part of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with proceeds expected to fund AI models and develop new robots.
