Chinese robotics company Westlake Robotics has unveiled its latest humanoid robot, Titan o1, powered by its in-house advanced model, General Action Expert (GAE).

The system enables the robot to mimic human movements in real time, overcoming traditional limitations of time and spatial constraints.

The company said the model allows multiple robots to carry out identical tasks simultaneously under the control of a single operator.

During a demonstration in Hangzhou, an operator wearing a motion-capture suit performed actions such as waving, turning and kicking a ball, while Titan o1 mirrored each movement within milliseconds.

The robot’s motions including arm swings, torso rotations, step length and leg lift during the kick remained closely synchronized with the operator’s rhythm.

“These actions were instant responses to the operator’s spontaneous movements,” said Westlake Robotics founder Professor Wang Donglin, adding that Titan o1 can quickly adjust to different operators and variations in movement.

He compared the GAE model to the human cerebellum, which coordinates movement, balance and precision, noting that it enables the robot to execute appropriate actions immediately upon receiving signals, even if the movements have not been performed before.

Westlake Robotics also said the GAE model supports cross-embodiment deployment, meaning it can be applied to various robots with differing designs and sizes.
