China tests humanoid robots for future military operations

Expresso7 September 2026 at 22:22

Chinese military institutions are testing humanoid robots for reconnaissance, patrol and combat support missions. These machines represent a new technological development within China's military capabilities.

The tests focus on three main areas of application: reconnaissance missions, patrol operations and combat support. These functions indicate an intention to integrate the robots into varied tactical scenarios.

Despite the significant progress achieved in the tests, the article indicates that there is still no evidence that these armed machines have been integrated into real operational units. In other words, the robots remain in an experimental phase.

China is not the only country exploring this military technology, although the article does not provide further details on similar programs or the broader context of this technological race.
