During the 2026 World Robot Conference, the T800 humanoid robot captivated audiences with its combat skills, showcasing punching, dodging, and flying kicks. The event featured a fighting competition between two robots named 'Doujiang' and 'Luzhu,' part of the world's first industrial-grade humanoid robot fighting league, which attracted over 200 teams and offered a total prize pool of 14 million yuan.
Zhao Tongyang, founder and CEO of Zhongqing, emphasized that combat-related investments account for less than 10% of the company's focus, with the majority directed towards integrating robots into homes and factories. He explained that mastering physical capabilities through combat is essential for robots to serve humans effectively, as agility and strength are crucial for handling unexpected scenarios.
The T800 has already begun operations in the Luxshare Precision factory in Suzhou, handling material loading and transportation tasks. Zhongqing also introduced the EngineAI Awaken, a brain-inspired intelligent engine, which allows for rapid deployment and high success rates in robotic actions. Zhao predicts a significant breakthrough in embodied intelligence within three years, aiming for mass production of humanoid robots to make them commonplace in households.
