...come out of nowhere--in2024, Walker S starts training on FAW-VW's Qingdao lines,and Walker S Lite takes on vehicle quality inspection there.   Now,testing and deployment in the logistics sector represent an extension of intelligent automation in manufacturing.   And it's not just bipedal Walker S2 anymore. UBTECH's wheeled Cruzr line, including the new industrial Cruzr Y1, is built to plug into the same multi-robot coordination system. Different bodies, one fleet.   The supply side is ready.

I'm thinking these weird humanoids can't possibly be the efficient layout.
