Absolutely zero chance these things are functional. China has been pushing AI and robotics propaganda hard the last couple years but the videos of their robots constantly falling flat on their face tell a different story.
Yeah, I'd be willing to bet that in a force-on-force test between a few hundred of these and a dozen or so of those Ukrainian remote control "machine gun on a mini tank" deals, the Ukrainian drones win every time.
These are for a different purpose. The Ukrainian ones are to kill people, and the way they're built is made for the task. These robots will (or are supposed to):
In the Fangchenggang project, Walker S2 units will assist border staff by guiding passenger lines, directing vehicles, and answering simple questions from travelers.
Some robots will patrol corridors and waiting areas, monitoring for blocked exits or crowding patterns that may require intervention by human agents.
Other units will move along cargo routes to support logistics teams, checking container IDs, confirming seals, and transmitting status updates to dispatch centers.
Not really. Its not like you lose anything you can't replace if it dosen't work well and you get tons of testing information. Not to mention China's versions of the "battlefield" is chasing borderline uneqipped Indian soliders around the Himalayas. Especially if you are just trying to accomplish surveillance there is no reason not to test them since no one else can make then as easily as they can.
Love it when people pop up with one sentence crafted right out their backside, and no clue what they're talking about. You all have some next level hubris.
The issue, as always, with China is that they have to make a display of everything, and often blows what they have out of proportion with exaggeration.
The truly strong just sit back and be like, "you'll pay dearly to find out how advanced we are."

Roger roger.
This should end well.
Yeah when the batteries die in 30 minutes

Battery lasts 20 minutes I bet.
How long does the battery last? 10 or 20 minutes
I'll be worried when battery tech catches up.
Unless it’s ED-209 not interested.
Its December already
Humanoid robots will need a lot more refinement before they hit the battlefield.

alot of weapons hit the battlefield before their ready.. it's there that they are forged into something decent.

What round for robot soldiers?
