　　BEIJING, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- While a technician wearing a full-body motion capture suit that features VR goggles, handheld controllers, and sensors strapped to his legs bends over, lifts his legs and turns, a humanoid robot in front of him mirrors every movement in real time.

　　This is a novel scene at the Yunwan Embodied Intelligence Innovation Center in Guangzhou in south China, displaying the latest invention by the Guangzhou Baiyun Xuanji Technology Industry Investment Co., Ltd.

　　Last year, the team could only control the upper body using a whole-body control method, and the lower body had to be operated by a remote control," said Lu Zhicong, deputy general manager of the company. "This year, we are developing a solution to control the full body. It's still being refined, and once optimized, we expect motion replication accuracy to reach above 90 percent."

　　"What we do is to select the right models for specific scenarios and carry out tailored secondary development," Lu explained.

　　The company's technicians are developing a firefighting robot dog. Although robot dogs already exist on the market, the team's work focuses on secondary development by integrating infrared sensors, spark detection sensors and communication modules, combined with vision recognition and autonomous exploration algorithms, to meet the specific demands of fire rescue.

　　"Our goal is to get robots into real production and living scenarios to handle the repetitive, high-risk work that humans shouldn't have to do," Lu added.
