A Chinese robotics firm has demonstrated what it calls a major step toward the scalable deployment of humanoid robots. LimX Dynamics released this week a video showing 18 of its full-size Oli humanoid robots autonomously emerging from shipping crates, standing up, walking in formation, and performing a coordinated routine without human intervention.

In the demonstration, 18 Oli units are placed inside standard shipping containers. The containers open, and each robot independently stands up, reaches full height, and begins walking on two legs without human assistance. Operating within a confined space, the robots avoid collisions, exit the containers, and move forward in coordinated formation before completing a synchronised routine.

The demonstration builds on earlier showcases of the Oli platform, which previously highlighted individual robots performing tasks such as navigating uneven terrain, climbing rubble, and balancing on one leg.

The Shenzhen-based company describes the demonstration as the world's first practical autonomous deployment of humanoid robots. The showcase highlights advances in multi-robot coordination and suggests how teams of humanoids could be deployed and operated on future manufacturing floors.
