EDITORIAL:

 

SkyWalker 2 represents China’s accelerating push into full‑scale humanoid robotics. Built by EIR Technology (Sichuan Embodied Humanoid Robot Technology Co., Ltd.), the robot emphasizes human‑like mobility, dexterous manipulation, and safe interaction in real‑world environments. Its 55‑DOF architecture, lightweight servo actuation, and bionic waist allow it to bend, twist, squat, and navigate complex terrain with fluidity uncommon in its price class.

 

Demonstrations show SkyWalker 2 performing multi‑step tasks such as retrieving objects autonomously, highlighting its potential for factory workflows, laboratory assistance, and senior‑care support. With Tencent Cloud integration emerging in 2026, SkyWalker 2 is positioned as a scalable platform for fleet‑level humanoid deployment across industrial and service sectors.
