📌 MAROKO133 Update ai: Chinese Robots Can Now Run Up Walls Edisi Jam 04:47

While humanoid robots have a long way to go to prove useful in our day-to-day lives, they’ve at least made leaps and bounds in showing off their agility on stage.

Case in point, the televised Spring Festival Gala put on by the state-run China Media Group over the weekend featured an impressive synchronized martial arts routine. Organizers were even confident enough to put the well-being of children on the line, having young performers spar with a small army of nunchuck- and spear-wielding Unitree G1 robots.

At one point, several of the robots can be seen performing a wall flip, an impressive feat that involves them literally running up a temporary wall on stage. (You can check it out for yourself at the 3:16 mark in the video embedded below.)

It’s a dazzling performance, showcasing how far the country’s robotics industry has come in a few short years, a massive surge in interest that has even led to the country’s regulators warning of an impending bubble as an influx of robotics companies risks crowding one another out.

Users on social media immediately noticed an enormous technological leap, comparing this year’s performance to a far less impressive appearance a mere year ago, which saw less sophisticated humanoid robots awkwardly shuffling on stage while waving red handkerchiefs.

“Humanoids ⁠bundle a ⁠lot of China’s strengths into one narrative: AI capability, ​hardware supply chain, and manufacturing ambition,” Beijing-based tech analyst Poe Zhao told Reuters of the performance. “They are also the most ‘legible’ form factor for the public and officials.”

Whether the rest of the world, including Elon Musk’s Tesla, which is developing its own Optimus robot, can keep up with China remains to be seen. For one, Optimus robots still heavily rely on human remote operators.

“By far, the biggest competition for humanoid robots will be from China,” Musk told investors during an earnings call earlier this year. “China is good at manufacturing, and also in AI, judging from open models.”

“To the best of my knowledge, we don’t see significant competition outside of China,” he added. “People outside of China underestimate China, but China’s an ass-kicker next-level.”

However, whether all of that martial arts expertise can be translated into actually-useful skills — arming robots with nunchucks isn’t exactly going to give China an edge on the battlefield, the workforce, or domestic labor — is still a wide-open question. Robotics companies are struggling to get their humanoid robots to adjust to the messy reality of daily life on the fly, and are only starting to make some progress.

In other words, while having robots sparring with children live on stage as part of a well-rehearsed choreography is unquestionably impressive, reliably doing chores around the house could prove far more difficult in the long run — even for China.

“Cool,” one Reddit user commented on the latest martial arts performance. “Can I please get one that just cleans my house and does the laundry?”

📌 MAROKO133 Eksklusif ai: Microscopic QR code sets world record with massive 2TB p

A research team at TU Wien and Cerabyte just shrunk the QR code to an impossible scale.

Their creation measures only 1.98 square micrometers. This makes the code smaller than most bacteria. It is so tiny that only an electron microscope can see it.

The Guinness Book of Records recently verified this as a new world record.

This breakthrough is only 37% the size of the previous record holder. The technology marks a massive leap for the data storage industry.

Ceramic films outlast modern tech

Modern storage like hard drives often fails within a few years. However, this new method uses thin ceramic films for extreme durability. These materials usually coat high-performance cutting tools.

They remain stable under intense heat and pressure. The team used focused ion beams to mill the code into the ceramic layer. Each pixel is roughly 49 nanometers wide. This is ten times smaller than visible light wavelengths.

The code remains invisible to the human eye.

“The structure we have created here is so fine that it cannot be seen with optical microscopes at all,” says Prof. Paul Mayrhofer.

He explains that while scientists can manipulate individual atoms, those patterns often shift over time. This ruins the stored information.

“But that is not even the truly remarkable part. Structures on the micrometer scale are nothing unusual today — it is even possible to fabricate patterns made of individual atoms. However, that alone does not result in a stable, readable code.”

Individual atoms often diffuse and fill gaps, destroying the data. The TU Wien team solved this stability issue. “What we have done is something fundamentally different,” Mayrhofer explains.

“We have created a tiny, but stable and repeatedly readable QR code.” This stability ensures the data survives for centuries.

High density low energy future

The storage potential of this ceramic technology is staggering. One A4 sheet of paper could hold over 2 terabytes of data. Unlike current data centers, these carriers need no cooling or electricity.

They offer a green alternative for the information age. We currently rely on short-lived electronic media that require constant power. Our digital history currently risks fading away without constant maintenance and cooling.

“We live in the information age, yet we store our knowledge in media that are astonishingly short-lived,” says Alexander Kirnbauer.

He compares this to ancient civilizations that carved knowledge into stone.

“With ceramic storage media, we are pursuing a similar approach to that of ancient cultures, whose inscriptions we can still read today,” says Alexander Kirnbauer.

Kirnbauer believes we must prioritize longevity over temporary convenience. “We write information into stable, inert materials that can withstand the passage of time and remain fully accessible to future generations.”

This shift could drastically reduce global carbon emissions from data centers.

The team now focuses on making this process faster and cheaper.

They want to move beyond simple QR codes to complex data structures. This research paves the way for a more climate-friendly digital future.

It ensures our history stays intact without burning massive amounts of energy.

The team is already looking at industrial applications.
