China just built a robot that can do backflips on sand, read your emotions, and turn off the lights without waking you up.
DOBOT LUMO is a 1.3-meter humanoid designed for homes, schools, and offices. It walks over grass, sand, and cobblestone.
The demo shows it sparring with a child, dancing to music, and switching to a silent night mode gait.
This isn’t a factory robot. It’s a companion. And it’s the most complete lifestyle humanoid demo we’ve seen.
