CATL’s cell-making factory gets Galbot’s heavy-load humanoid robot as new worker

- CATL just dropped the Galbot S1, a heavy-load humanoid running on its own battery tech. It’s not just a shiny toy; it’s hauling 50kg with centimeter-level precision in real factory ops. This is embodied AI hitting the physical layer. Paired with their new sodium-ion storage, we’re looking at eight hours of continuous grunt work without the thermal throttling. Meanwhile, Spirit AI’s Xiaomo robot is nailing 99% success rates on high-voltage connector insertion, replacing humans in those dangerous End-of-Line tests. It’s efficient, it’s safe, and it’s scaling fast. Whoa, that's mega-illegal how smoothly they’re automating the supply chain. The future of manufacturing isn’t coming; it’s already on the line, stacking cells and signing off on PoD seals for the next industrial revolution.
