Geekplus and Xinhua News Agency launch first bionic humanoid news anchors "Xinyan" and "Xinyu" at World Media Summit
全球首个仿生人形机器人新闻主播正式发布
At the 7th World Media Summit, Xinhua News Agency and Geekplus unveiled two bionic humanoid news anchors named "Xinyan" and "Xinyu," designed for broadcast scenarios with realistic micro-expressions and lip-syncing. The robots rely on Xinhua's AI agent and Geekplus's full-stack embodied intelligence technologies, including bionic skin and emotional large models, to deliver the first robot-generated news report in history. Future deployments are planned across cultural heritage, education, government services, external publicity, and frontier exploration sectors.
