BYD's First Humanoid Robot to Debut in Early August, Plans 2-3 per Dealer for Vehicle Demos
BYD plans to unveil its first humanoid robot in early August and deploy two to three units at each dealership for vehicle guidance and product demonstrations, as revealed by an executive. The company aims to use the robots to explain vehicle features, create an engaging atmosphere, and even demonstrate functions.
BYD recently released a teaser poster indicating that its first humanoid robot will make a public debut in early August. The plan had been previously hinted at by senior executives.
Last month, BYD Executive Vice President Li Ke said the company hopes to eventually deploy humanoid robots across its dealer network to introduce vehicles to customers and assist with product demonstrations. Li Ke's goal is to place two to three robots at each dealership, where they can explain vehicle features, create a more engaging atmosphere, and even demonstrate vehicle functions.
