"Dobot calls its version the Sinosauropteryx, named after the feathered, bipedal carnivore first uncovered by Chinese farmers in 1996. The robotic version, according to the South China Morning Post, features bipedal locomotion, optical sensors, and pre-programmed motion-controls. A highlight video which made the rounds on Douyin, the Chinese varietal of TikTok, pokes fun at the concept, showing the near-lifelike Sinosauropteryx stalking around a museum at night."
"LimX, meanwhile, just shared a clip of its TRON1 bot dressed up like a T-Rex for Halloween. While seemingly not a purpose-built robo-dino like Dobot's, the bipedal reptile is shown standing up to some bullying from its handlers, stabilizing itself and taking a guided stroll through the city. The robo-dinos are the latest creations of China's incredibly productive robotics industry. For years, China's robotics sector has focused on industrial automation, but has begun spinning out into consumer and educational tech."
"It's either a childhood dream come true or the beginning of a cheesy 80s movie. Either way, AI-powered dinosaurs are coming, pumped out by robotics companies looking to drum up a little prehistoric spectacle. The firms involved both hail from China, the world heavyweight in robotics production. Within the last few weeks, the companies LimX Dynamics and Yuejiang Technology Co (Dobot) have both launched AI-powered robot dinosaur platforms, though with different approaches."
Chinese robotics companies LimX Dynamics and Yuejiang Technology Co (Dobot) have launched AI-powered robot dinosaur platforms with differing approaches. Dobot's Sinosauropteryx features bipedal locomotion, optical sensors, and pre-programmed motion controls, and can wear interchangeable feathery skins to represent different species. LimX's TRON1 has been shown dressed like a T‑Rex, stabilizing itself during handling and taking guided walks through urban environments. The robo-dinosaurs are positioned for museum, educational, and consumer applications as China's robotics industry expands beyond industrial automation into consumer and educational tech. The trend reflects growing hype and diversification within China's prolific robotics sector.
