BEIJING: Humanoid robots with the appearance of Chinese Tang Dynasty (618-907) poets Li Bai and Du Fu have been a hit at the 2023 World Robot Conference (WRC).

“Their body shapes and expressions look natural. They simulate the voices and actions of real people and interact with the audience. They have already been utilised in many fields including culture, tourism and education,” said Zheng Yaxin, an official with EX Robots.
