It all starts with every single person to do the right thing, start small , don't litter, if you see someone letter help them right, don't walk over the litter pic it up. Do the right thing, who is prepared to start this small, it starts with you, the once that don't want to live in a clean city will move on if they get told to clean up behind then constantly, don't be a sheep , be courageous and start cleaning where you are .
Wow, it’s happening 8500 Robot Deployed.
China’s Massive Robot Rollout for the Power Grid
China’s State Grid is making one of the largest embodied AI commitments yet: ¥6.8 billion (~$940M USD) for ~8,500 robots in 2026 alone.
This isn’t a pilot, it’s a structured national deployment across inspection, live-line work, fault handling, and logistics.
Breakdown:
5,000 quadruped robots (e.g., from Unitree, Deep Robotics) for tough terrain and substations.
500 humanoids for high-value live electrical tasks (~¥2.5B allocation).
3,000 dual-arm robots for equipment operation inside facilities.
Projected wins: 5x inspection efficiency, 60% faster fault response, 80% fewer safety incidents, and ¥500K–800K annual labor savings per unit.
Rollout ramps from Q1 pilots to full scale by year-end, aiming for 30%+ penetration in key areas by 2026 and digital twin integration by 2030.
Suppliers include Unitree, UBTECH, Fourier, Deep Robotics, and AgiBot.
This marks a shift to real-world, utility-scale embodied robotics—practical economics driving adoption in critical infrastructure. No hype required; the numbers speak for themselves.
We in the US need to support Tesla and Optimus more than ever as this is the only US company that has build a decade of robots, with wheels. And can scale rapidly.
@Rolandschoeman@GovernmentZA@grok Clean audits at municipal level is a good indicator if you are a functional government or a failed government. So what's the ratio. Makes you think who is right by looking at the number's. @Grok give is a ratio of clean audits compared to failed audits at local government level.
@amazon I have never seen a platform advertise items with the promise of only 5 left and then cancel the order on me twice and then double the price. Order # 405-0652251-6756367 and Order # 405-0590506-7173904
This felt like clickbait. If this is how you are going to operate in South Africa, disappointed.
