The online hype surrounding Yushu Robotics and the Chinese robots' performance at the Spring Festival Gala is excessive! Due to my investment in the primary market, I have some knowledge of the robotics field, and I've always admired China's technological progress. However, I must say fairly and objectively that China is not only not far ahead in this field, but also lags far behind the world's advanced levels! Yushu's exaggerated movements are nothing more than "good motors + precise control," but China excels in both of these aspects. Therefore, although China is a manufacturing powerhouse, almost all industrial robots (robotic arms) used in its manufacturing production lines are imported from the four major manufacturers. China's precision and reliability are far from sufficient. If it were truly advanced, there would be no need for humanoid robots; it could immediately seize the multi-billion dollar industrial robot market. However, almost no manufacturing industry in China uses domestically produced robots. Only logistics industries, which don't require much precision, use domestically produced robots, let alone the more demanding medical field. I suspect that the robots in Yushu's performances are simply using imported motors, plus a lot of manual debugging and programming for the single program's movements at the Spring Festival Gala, and have little to do with AI. Other countries and established companies aren't incapable of making them; they simply haven't chosen to. These flashy movements do nothing to demonstrate any advancement. True progress will only come when numerous Chinese automobile production lines begin using domestically produced robots—that will be a real-world application and market test! Right now, it's all just a spectacle for outsiders, while insiders see the real substance. The hype and gimmicks far outweigh the actual results.
