Ant Group has unveiled its first humanoid robot, Robbyant R1, seen cooking shrimp at IFA 2025 in Berlin and showcased at the Inclusion Conference in Shanghai. The company envisions R1 as a kitchen helper, caregiver, or tour guide, though no launch date or price has been announced. Early demos show slow, basic movements, and experts caution against overhyping its capabilities. Ant joins companies like Tesla in pushing AI-powered robotics as software advances promise faster progress.
