Humanoid robots are gradually transitioning from science fiction movies to the real world. Accordingly, a Chinese company has made a remarkable breakthrough in the sector. Zhongqing Robotics has developed the world’s first human-like walking robot with the SE01 robot.

What can the Chinese robot SE01 do?

The Chinese robotics company Zhongqing Robotics has introduced its first human-sized robot called SE01. The 170 cm tall and 55 kg SE01 has attracted great attention thanks to its 32 joints and joints that produce a maximum torque of 330Nm.

Zhongqing stated that SE01 can perform realistic human movements such as squatting, push-ups, walking in circles, grasping, running and jumping. The robot can also walk at speeds of up to 2 meters per second. The company claimed that SE01 is the world’s first robot to solve natural walking with learning algorithms.

Beyond its mobility capabilities, SE01 will be suitable for industrial applications with its robotic dual-arm system that uses flexible force control. The arms are said to have a lifespan of more than 10 years. The body of the robot is made of aerospace-grade aluminum alloy for durability.

It should not be forgotten that Tesla Optimus attracted attention in this regard. The project, first announced by Musk in 2021, stood out with its dancing feature. The robot, which was later shown to walk in 2022, was last able to play rock, paper, scissors.

Although the exact pricing has not yet been announced, Zhongqing aims to price SE01 between $20 and $30,000. The company expects to grow by producing more than 1,000 robots per year by 2025.
