According to @ai_darpa, China's wheeled humanoid robots developed by the Zhejiang Innovation Center are actively being deployed in real-world settings, including factories, laboratories, retail stores, and assembly lines. These robots operate individually or in coordinated fleets, taking on practical tasks such as stocking shelves and performing laboratory work. This marks a significant advancement in AI-driven robotics, as the deployment of humanoid robots is transitioning from experimental phases to tangible business applications, accelerating automation in manufacturing and retail sectors (source: @ai_darpa, Dec 18, 2025).
