VIDEO : The GR-1 humanoid will be able to carry patients from the bed to wheelchairs and help pick up objects.

AI summary:

The world’s first mass-produced humanoid robot was the GR-1, developed by Fourier Intelligence in China[1][2][3]. The robot is 1.64 meters tall and weighs 55 kilograms, and is designed to help tackle labor shortages amid an aging population. It is capable of carrying patients from the bed to wheelchairs and helping to pick up objects[1][2][3][5]. While the GR-1 is often referred to as the world’s first mass-produced humanoid robot, it is important to note that it is not the first humanoid robot ever produced. However, it is the first to be mass-produced, meaning that it is produced in large quantities for commercial use[3].

What’s the living wage in China?

From what I can easily find, it seems to be around 3k-4.8k CNY after taxes, about 3.6k to 5.7k before. This was in 2019, though.
