BYD Secretly Develops Humanoid Robot Codename 'Yao-Shun-Yu' as Auto Giants Race Into Embodied AI
BYD, China's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, has confirmed it is secretly developing humanoid robots under a project codenamed "Yao-Shun-Yu." The revelation came from BYD Executive Vice President Li Ke in a recent interview, shedding light on the automaker's ambitions beyond electric vehicles and into the rapidly emerging field of embodied AI. The project was initiated in 2022 and operates under BYD's 15th Business Unit, which focuses on electronic integration and intelligence.
The only reason to make a robot humanoid is to fuck it. Every other use-case doesn’t need human limitations or complexity.
Why design hips, knees, ankles, coordination, and balance when wheels exist?
Humanoid robots are a scam.
The world around us is shaped to serve the human figure. Steps, stairs, gaps between surfaces, ladders, and obstacles on the ground would be near impossible to navigate using wheels. Instead of changing the environment it’d be easier to make a humanoid robot that can navigate those things the same way we would.
Also every worker at foxconn etc has a shitload of cameras on them to train the models.
I saw a Chinese robot short on YouTube recently where the robot had hips and swayed while it walked. For a more “human like” gait
But did it make you want to fuck it? I bet it does for someone if not.
Not if you’re a robofucker.
Excuse me, but the preferred term is robosexual.
