Last week, Chinese robotics firm PNDbotics demonstrated Adam, a 1.6-meter, 60-kilogram humanoid, performing the Charleston to showcase advanced whole-body control. Unveiled at WAIC in August 2025, Adam features 41 degrees of freedom, 25 quasi-direct-drive actuators (up to 360 Nm), optimized trajectory planning, and a low-latency control stack; PNDbotics also released Adam-U Ultra with a VLA model and 10,000 samples to accelerate manipulation learning.
