Tech meets tradition in the first-ever cross-boundary torch relay for China’s National Games, lighting up four cities across the Greater Bay Area—Hong Kong, Macao, Guangzhou and Shenzhen! 🔥
Leading the charge in Shenzhen was Kuavo, an open-source humanoid robot from Shenzhen-based Leju Robotics. With its 1.6-kg torch in hand, Kuavo smoothly passed the flame between relay legs, proving that robots can join the ultimate athletic spotlight. 🤖
Open-source means its software is publicly shared, inviting coders and makers worldwide to tweak its code and innovate. Think of it as a DIY robot buddy, evolving with every GitHub update. For young techies from Colombo to Jakarta, it’s a glimpse into how collaborative coding is lighting up Asia’s robotics scene.
Beyond the flash of LEDs and the thrill of the flame, Kuavo’s role highlights a bigger trend: blending AI and robotics into everyday life. Whether it’s delivery bots in Kuala Lumpur or AI-driven apps from Mumbai, Asia’s youth-driven tech wave is unstoppable. 🌏
This torch relay isn’t just a race; it’s a showcase of future tech in action. And if a humanoid can handle a torch, what’s next? Robodance? Robo-chefs? The sky’s the limit! 🎉
