China's Fake Humans: EX Robot's Radical Plans to Mass Produce Lifelike AI Powered Humanoid Robots

Описание: As China's AI-powered humanoid robots become more capable by the day, they're also becoming harder to distinguish from real people.

One prominent Chinese firm is becoming synonymous with the push for lifelike emotionally intelligent robots that blur the line between human and machine.

EX Robot is pretty much always going viral for its ultra realistic creations that evoke amazement from some and horror from others. The attention the startup is getting now is the result of years of work that started long before the current humanoid robotics craze took off.

As a growing array of companies race to bring their humanoid robots to the masses, EX is taking a radical approach with its aggressive expansion strategy.

EX Robot was founded in 2013 in the port city of Dalian, in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province. Their research and development work goes back as early as 2009.

Officially known as Dalian Tiasi Technology Development Co., EX Robot was launched by a team of Liaoning-born engineers led by Li Boyang , who earned a doctorate in artificial intelligence from Waseda University in 2010. Their research and development work focused on intelligent bionic humanoid robotics began as early as 2009 before formally establishing the company.

The founding team’s vision was to create robots that could seamlessly integrate into roles by closely mimicking human facial expressions, gestures, and communication abilities.
