Chinese startup Stardust Intelligence recently released a fascinating video demonstration showcasing their newly launched S1 robot. In this video, the humanoid robot exhibits astonishing agility, speed, and intelligence, effortlessly completing a range of daily household tasks. The S1 robot is shown cooking, gardening, vacuuming, participating in competitive cup stacking games, and even effortlessly folding clothes, leaving viewers amazed.

However, before we get too excited, it is important to remain cautious. Currently, information about Stardust Intelligence and the S1 robot is limited to this video demonstration and the details provided on the company's website. We have yet to independently verify the company's claims about the robot's capabilities, such as its ability to operate at 1x speed, being fully AI-driven, and not relying on remote control operation.

According to Stardust Intelligence's official website, the company was established in Shenzhen in December 2022. After approximately a year of development, the S1 robot is expected to achieve commercialization in the second half of 2024. The company's founder, Lai Jie, has an impressive background, having worked at Tencent Robotics Lab, Baidu's "Xiaodu Robot" team, and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, providing strong support for the company's technological development.

The S1 robot is named Astribot, derived from the Latin proverb "Ad astra per aspera," meaning "through hardships to the stars." This name not only carries poetic significance but also reflects the company's long-term vision and steadfast commitment to advancing AI robotics technology.

With the rapid development in the field of humanoid robots, notable companies such as Boston Dynamics, Figure, 1X, and Tesla have made significant progress. The potential entry of the S1 robot may further intensify competition in this field and push the boundaries of technology forward.

If Stardust Intelligence's claims are true and the S1 robot's performance in the video demonstration is genuine and reliable, it will undoubtedly be a significant leap forward in the field of humanoid robots, bringing more convenience and possibilities to human life.
