BYD's humanoid robot design has been revealed through newly surfaced patent images, showcasing a bipedal machine with a distinct appearance. The images, sourced from a Chinese design patent, depict a robot featuring a dark oval face, light-colored body panels, articulated fingers, and a narrow waist with exposed joints.
This development is significant as it highlights BYD's ambition to integrate humanoid robots into its dealership network, potentially enhancing customer interactions and vehicle demonstrations. Executive Vice President Stella Li has expressed plans to place two or three robots in each dealership, indicating a strategic move towards utilizing robotics in sales and customer engagement.
Looking ahead, BYD is expected to formally unveil the robot at its Di Space exhibition venue in August. The next steps will likely include a demonstration and the release of technical specifications, which will provide further insight into the robot's capabilities and performance.
