What's next for China's humanoid robots?

Unitree's soaring IPO sets high bar
CGTN show, The Point, with anchor Liu Zin and guests Steve Hoffman, Professor Liu Baocheng and me (Silicon Dragon’s Rebecca Fannin).

August 21 live

My main points:

>Unitree has loads of rivals in China
>More IPOs in this sector

>Far from being mainstream

>Challenges in household tasks, like in the kitchen (same as me!)

>Destiny, factory work?

>Crash like in the bike-sharing fad?

>Enter the US with new models?

Hard not to be fascinated by these robots!
