Overview
- Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center said its ‘Jushen Tiangong’ robot directly linked to a Galaxy Aerospace low‑Earth‑orbit internet satellite, streamed 720P video, and completed an autonomous task without ground public networks in what it called a world‑first test.
- During the Jan. 23 showcase, the robot established stable multi‑terminal, multi‑link connections, with a Xiaomi 17 phone and a computer also accessing the same phased‑array LEO link for coordinated control and monitoring.
- Galaxy Aerospace confirmed a Jan. 19 launch from Hainan of 19 LEO internet satellites on a Long March 12, carrying company‑developed phased‑array and millimeter‑wave antennas and produced through a fully digitalized, mass‑manufacturing‑oriented process.
- Founder Xu Ming framed phone‑to‑satellite as central to a coming 6G era, describing a ground‑space integrated architecture that puts “fiber to space” and “base stations to space” at the core of future communications.
- Tencent’s Ma Huateng said AI is the company’s primary spending focus after a restructuring of model and product teams, while StepFun named Yin Qi chairman and was reported to have closed a B+ round exceeding RMB 5 billion to advance its AI‑plus‑terminal strategy.
