Chinese tech company Xiaomi \u2014 perhaps best known in the West for ripping off Apple\u2019s designs<\/a> \u2014 has unveiled a prototype bipedal robot: the slick-looking CyberOne. <\/p>\n

The bot was unveiled last week, and, judging from a brief demo, can do little more than walk across a stage. However, the CyberOne does show us the current state of robot development for a non-specialized company like Xiaomi and<\/em> offers valuable context as to what we might expect from a, uh, rather similar looking bipedal bot: Tesla\u2019s much-hyped Optimus robot, due to be unveiled as a prototype later this year on September 30th.<\/p>\n

As per Xiaomi\u2019s official specs<\/a>, the CyberOne weighs 52kg (114lbs) and stands 177cm tall (that\u2019s 5 foot 8 inches \u2014 officially making CyberOne a short king<\/a>). It has a top speed of 3.6km\/h (that\u2019s 2.2mph, just below average walking pace) and comes with a pair of mitten-like hands that can open and close but seem incapable of more dextrous movement.<\/p>\n

The bot has some sort of machine vision system for navigation that can do depth-sensing at distances of up to eight meters, and Xiaomi claims it can also \u201cperceive\u201d human emotion, presumably using some sort of AI system to parse facial expressions. (An important side-note here: experts say these sorts of emotion recognition AI are essentially unscientific<\/a>, and some tech giants like Microsoft have stopped offering them<\/a> for this reason.)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an entertaining video of CyberOne walking about and falling over a lot. It\u2019s worth pointing out that we never see CyberOne picking itself up (because it absolutely can\u2019t).<\/p>\n
