Designed for kids and education, Bumi offers intuitive drag-and-drop graphical programming for custom actions and voice interaction for companionship tas

Developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center in collaboration with Peking University and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the World-Omniscient World Model (WoW) is the world's first self-evolving multimodal world model system. It combines a physical simulation model with a vision-language model, enabling robots to "imagine, verify and self-correct," and achieve human-like physical intuition through autonomous learning. #humanoidrobot | CGTN
