Chapter 735: The Real Person Impersonator’s Robot

However, the data disclosed from Fei Peng’s flying car at this tech day caught Chen Yiyang’s attention.Of course, what is now called a flying car is actually just a small unmanned helicopter, only capable of low-altitude, short-distance flight.

But the flying cars under Fei Peng’s name have already achieved mass production, with thousands of orders worldwide.

Though this order volume seems more like toys sold to the wealthy.

But compared to other companies, it’s already quite impressive.

Then, the highlight of this Fei Peng tech day finally arrived.

That being Fei Peng’s female humanoid robot.

Image of Fei Peng’s female humanoid robot.

Fei Peng’s female humanoid robot is certainly not the world’s first female humanoid robot.

Before this, many companies have attempted to create humanoid robots with female characteristics.

But these robots all have a noticeable trait: they appear more machine-like than human.

These humanoid robots, at a glance, are clearly distinguishable as machines made of metal.

However, the humanoid robot that walked out step by step on Fei Peng’s tech day stage, simulated true human form, skeleton, muscles, and skin to the greatest extent.

Moreover, this humanoid robot has no exposed metallic structure; instead, its entire body is wrapped in a bodysuit.

From a distance, it looks like a real person wearing a bodysuit.

Even Chen Yiyang, who is used to seeing various models of humanoid robots at Yushu Headquarters, was greatly surprised by the robot that appeared in front of him.

This surprise was not due to how high-tech Fei Peng’s robot is.

But rather why Fei Peng would manufacture such a human-imitating humanoid robot.

Not only does it look human, but it also mimics the muscular feel and walking habits of a human.

This female humanoid robot even walked with a catwalk style.

While walking, the legs first swing outwards then inwards—a human walking habit, but such a walk for machinery has low cost-effectiveness, a complete waste.

When the robot switches from walking to standing posture, there’s also a subtle move to balance with toes.

This action also fully mimics human habits.

When the robot approached, Chen Yiyang noticed that it deliberately created the illusion of prominent leg muscles.

Chen Yiyang, after watching the entire activity process of this robot, had one feeling.

That this robot was pretending to be human.

Fei Peng completely abandoned what should be the structural priorities for future commercial applications of humanoid robots, instead focusing on mimicking human appearance to the extreme.

If this robot’s head wasn’t a large helmet, but a human-like doll’s face.

Anyone not looking closely would think it was a real model walking.

"How is it?" Right after the humanoid robot’s performance, Zhao Feipeng eagerly approached Chen Yiyang, asking for his opinion on the robot.

"It’s very human-like." Chen Yiyang concluded.

"Being human-like is exactly right, thank you so much for your feedback, Mr. Chen." Zhao Feipeng laughed.

Then Chen Yiyang followed Zhao Feipeng to get closer to the humanoid robot.

Once close, the humanoid robot still looked very much like a real person in a bodysuit.

However, soon the staff unzipped the robot’s back, revealing the 3D-printed bionic structure inside.

If Chen Yiyang didn’t know better than to doubt that Zhao Feipeng would fake a robot at such a serious launch event, he might have really thought there was something wrong with this robot earlier.

But now, seeing the internal structure, Chen Yiyang understood.

Fei Peng’s humanoid robot product indeed put immense effort into exterior design resembling a human.

They created a walking 1:1 human replica doll.

But, what was the point of this?

Chen Yiyang couldn’t figure it out.

Currently, the development direction for robot companies is to find commercialization paths for humanoid robots.

The goal is clear: figure out how humanoid robots can replace some human jobs.

So whether a humanoid robot looks human is unimportant; practical utility is essential.

But Fei Peng’s humanoid robot goes against that.

Although I can only mimic human walking, I do it very well.

But, what’s the point of that?!

What would customers do with a robot that mimics human walking?

Use it as a human-like doll, dress it in cosplay outfits and admire it at home?

Might as well just buy a doll directly.

The price gap between the two is enormous.

And if you want to showcase human-like doll technology, why not peel back some outer layers, letting the audience know it’s a humanoid robot?

Wait?!

Chen Yiyang started to understand Zhao Feipeng’s methods.

"You aren’t trying to scam, are you?" Chen Yiyang patted this humanoid robot in front of him, turning to look at Zhao Feipeng.

"Preparing to boost stock prices?"

"How is that possible, I just wanted to showcase Fei Peng’s humanoid robot technology."

"I don’t believe you." Chen Yiyang rolled his eyes.

He was initially worried that Fei Peng might aggressively enter the humanoid robot field, catching up with Yushu Company.

But now he’s not concerned at all.

Because Fei Peng’s humanoid robot showcase was purely for the sake of deceit.

Simulating human walking, imitating human skeletal muscles, and deliberately using a bodysuit and helmet to cover all parts of the robot.

All of this wasn’t to demonstrate technology but to mislead online presentation viewers into thinking that Fei Peng’s humanoid robot was played by a real person.

After all, if it was just displaying a humanoid robot that looked human, it wouldn’t gain any traction online.

But what if it looked like a human disguised as a robot?

Analysis and skeptical articles would flood in.

Buy a hot search, claim Fei Peng Automobile’s humanoid robot is suspiciously impersonated by a real human.

That’d ensure breakthrough attention, drawing everyone’s interest.

At the pinnacle of such viral attention, Fei Peng could then release a video exposing the mechanical structure inside, after unzipping the humanoid robot suit on-site.

It’d generate attention, and spark conversations.

Even making outsiders unfamiliar with the robotics industry think Fei Peng’s humanoid robot is extraordinary.

Since it was even questioned to be a real person, isn’t its technology evidently exceptional?

"After this presentation is over, I feel like I need to buy some Fei Peng stock, it’ll definitely surge." Chen Yiyang said.
