Have robots moved beyond doing only what they are told in code? China said they have pushed past that limit, presenting a machine that mirrors a soldier\u2019s every action in near real-time.<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Liberation Army (PLA) demonstrated the system during the 12th International Army Cadets Week in Nanjing, with a person wearing a lightweight motion-sensing device controlling the robot\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

AI reportedly allowed the machine to mirror the exact movements of its operator with notable accuracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnology not only forges a more deterrent military \u2018sword,\u2019 but also lays a solid foundation for safeguarding peace,\u201d stated<\/a> Xia Yunfeng, an instructor at the event, as quoted by South China Morning Post.<\/p>\n

The combat robot was showcased to defense representatives from 13 countries during the event.<\/p>\n

While production timelines and additional capabilities remain undisclosed, the PLA said the new soldier-controlled robot is part of a wider effort to modernize its fleet with AI-enabled combat platforms.<\/p>\n

The PLA also highlighted other AI-driven platforms, including a bomb disposal robot operated remotely via voice commands.<\/p>\n

It also featured a mine-clearing vehicle that uses AI visual recognition to locate buried explosives.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Chinese scientists introduced a \u201cbrain controller<\/a>\u201d that can turn bees into cyborg insects, hinting at a broader push into autonomous and semi-autonomous systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Have robots moved beyond doing only what they are told in code?
