Wuhan, China. – Perhaps few images can contain such a scene, which at another time could have been imagined as a presumably futuristic postcard: humanoid robots and parts of their components are displayed in a kind of shop window, like mass consumer goods. In reality, it is not a street shop, but the humanoid robot innovation center in the Wuhan East Lake High-Tech Development Zone, also known as the Optical Valley of China. In Hubei Province, where this center is located, the development of humanoid robots is accelerating. Wuhan is the capital of this Chinese province, known all over the world because the last pandemic that has significantly shaped the world today began there. Considering the latter, this image may actually be a window into the very near future, again coming from this region.
