Xinhua and UBTECH unveil "Xinyan" and "Xinyu," the world's first bionic humanoid news anchors designed by Zhang Yimou
全球首个仿生人形机器人新闻主播正式发布，导演张艺谋担任其形象主创设计师
On November 5, Xinhua News Agency and UBTECH jointly launched two 1:1 scale bionic humanoid news anchors named "Xinyan" and "Xinyu." Designed with Zhang Yimou as the lead artist, these units leverage Xinhua's "Xinhuayudian" AI agent and UBTECH's full-stack hardware to broadcast verified political news while mitigating generative AI hallucinations. The system operates under a new editorial workflow where robots assist journalists rather than replacing them, with future deployments planned for study bases and cultural exchange events.
