China controlled a humanoid robot via space-based computing. In regions where terrestrial networks (5G, fiber) fail, space-based computing is brought in. In the trial, a ground operator issued commands beamed to satellites orbiting in the silent vacuum of space. There, using dedicated in-orbit computing power, the AI performs “inference”— it thinks, processes language, and decides exactly how a robot should move. Those digital instructions then come back to Earth, where the OpenClaw (an open-source AI agent) translates them into physical action.
