The President of Huawei Cloud – Zhang Pingan talked about the growing AI and robot technologies. He demonstrated the new humanoid robot and clapped his hands with it.

Kuafu will remain in the exhibition area on June 22 and 23 to illustrate cooking and house chores activities. It can perform cooking, sweeping, and a few other relevant activities. It even links with smart home devices to manage related operations.

“As everyone expects, AI robots can help us with laundry, cooking, and sweeping, giving us more time to read, write poetry, and paint.” – Zhang Pingan.

Pangu embodied intelligent large model makes the humanoid robot and lets them complete the series of tasks using understanding, natural language command recognition, task planning, dual-arm collaboration, autonomous execution, and more.

At the same time, the Pangu embodied intelligent model also generates training videos and operation-based tutorials that are required to teach robots. These videos help them to gain an understanding and learn of tasks even faster.

Leju firm – the developer of Kuafu says that the company is now working with small samples of humanoid robots. The process has covered testing and verification scenarios. Thus more new products in this line could show up in the time ahead.
