OUR TAKE	The first full-size humanoid built to be looked at rather than put to work. Fabric-wrapped, 27 degrees of freedom, and a motion stack that does runway walks and full splits. It will not do a single chore.	The factory workhorse from China’s most established humanoid maker — famous for swapping its own battery to work around the clock.
