Meet XBot-L, the first humanoid robot to climb the Great Wall

As the old adage goes, one cannot claim to be a true man without a visit to the Great Wall of China. XBot-L, a full-sized humanoid robot developed by Robot Era, recently acquitted itself well in a walk along sections of the Great Wall. Robot Era staff took the machine out for a test to showcase its locomotion, dexterity and self-balancing capabilities, following upgrades such as perceptive reinforcement learning algorithms. These innovations give a boost to XBot-L's ability to navigate rugged, uneven terrain, stably climb up winding stairs and adapt to various environments, including the Great Wall's dark archways.
