Chinese firm to deploy 100 humanoid robots to households for daily chores

SMRTR summary

Chinese robotics company GigaAI has deployed 100 SeeLight S1 humanoid robots into real homes in Wuhan, marking China's first large-scale domestic robot trial. The robots can cook breakfast, fold laundry, and organize closets, but some tasks remain slow — folding one piece of clothing can take over ten minutes. An upgraded S2 model is planned for later this year.
