After dismantling the Yushu robot, the Japanese personnel admitted defeat
July 27, 2026On July 23rd, the xTECH website released a video of Japanese technicians dismantling the G1 humanoid robot from China's Yushu Technology, attempting to explore its internal structure and technical level. The Japanese personnel exclaimed that they "could not keep up with China".
"I always feel that Chinese screws are particularly smooth when tightened."
"The battery is incredibly attractive as it can maintain high output power while being so compact."

"From the lower leg to the sole, the biggest feature is that its mechanical movement reproduces the motion of the human ankle. Two motors drive the two metal connecting rods connected to the ankle to move up and down, and utilize multiple bearings to coordinate with the rod movement, changing the ankle angle. The motor structure used in this robot is very noteworthy. The core components show that its technical level is quite high."
They ultimately came to the conclusion that nowadays, China's robot research and development has clearly surpassed the stage of "only being able to showcase". In the field of humanoid robots, it is probably unrealistic for Japan to narrow the gap with China in a short period of time.
