A new interactive experience at a shopping mall in China allows badminton enthusiasts to face a humanoid robot named PHYBOT C2.

This experience is part of Chinese companies' efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into daily life, with a focus on human-robot interaction.

The robot has the autonomous ability to track the shuttlecock, move to the right position, and return shots with its arm at the appropriate time.

The robot was first showcased in April at the Canton Fair in Guangzhou, demonstrating capabilities in real-time perception, motion control, and interaction with players, reflecting the progress of humanoid robots and their application in sports and entertainment.

The appearance of PHYBOT C2 at the Canton Fair last April is an indicator of the development of humanoid robots in China. The robot's capabilities in real-time perception and motion control reflect significant progress in artificial intelligence technologies. These technologies are expected to be used in sports training and interactive entertainment in the future. Also, making the experience available in shopping malls aims to enhance public acceptance of robots in daily life.
