China's humanoid robot makers have spent the past two years showcasing machines capable of breakdancing, throwing punches, and even running marathons. Now, these companies are turning their attention to commercial applications, seeking to prove their technology can work beyond the spotlight. Investors have been impressed by the robots' abilities, but the real challenge lies in making them practical for everyday use. Companies are exploring uses in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and customer service. The shift marks a key moment for the sector, as it moves from novelty to utility. With growing demand for automation, the success of these robots could signal a major step forward for China's tech industry.
