About this episode
"If I was the U.S., I would be terrified."
We report from a 1,500+ robot convention in Beijing, and an American robotics expert who's toured China's factories reveals how China is winning the robot race. From assembly lines to hospital wards, humanoid robots are everywhere—and America is falling behind.
Guest: Alberto Moel, Robotics Scientist, Professor of Practice in Finance at the University of Hong Kong
