A humanoid robot developed by Ant Lingbo Technology, also called Robbyant, the robotics arm of Ant Group, is capable of handling simple cooking tasks, serving as a tour guide and even offering basic medical consultations.
The first-generation R1, which weighs roughly 243 pounds, is between 5.2 ft and 5.7 ft tall, travels at under 4.9 ft per second and has 34 degrees of freedom, can reportedly work as a chef, a tour guide or even perform remote-controlled tasks.
