Chinese Humanoid Robot Is Now The ‘Fastest In The World’ [Video]

The Chinese STAR1 humanoid robot, powered by high-torque motors and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, is now the fastest in the world.

According to Robot Era, the company that created the record-setting robot, they have “independently developed a humanoid robot body based on proprioceptive drive, using self-developed high-torque density modular joints and integrated structural design, and using advanced materials such as high-strength alloys, carbon fiber and engineering plastics.

“While retaining the beautiful appearance, it has improved the strength and stability of the structure. In terms of intelligence, the company has deployed a large language model, equipped with advanced force control algorithms.”

All of that means that AI hardware used by the STAR1 humanoid robot has a processing power of 275 trillion operations per second (TOPS). By comparison, CNET lists the range of TOPS for an assortment of computer processors being anywhere from 11.5 to 50.
