From mimicking walks to mastering flips, China's humanoid robots are leaping toward the future

A 1.38-meter-tall, 40-kilogram humanoid robot sprinted gracefully through Shenzhen Talent Park, drawing astonished onlookers who quickly captured the scene on their phones.

This was no performance art—rather, it was a running test by Shenzhen-based robotics company EngineAI, marking a significant milestone in China's humanoid robotics development.

Running presents greater technical challenges for robots than walking, requiring rapid actuator responses, increased impact resistance, and precise real-time posture adjustments via high-accuracy sensors to handle uneven terrain.
