The Wandering Earth II, a Chinese sci-fi blockbuster, has attracted both Chinese and overseas audiences since it hit the screens on January 22. The film, the prequel to the 2019 hit The Wandering Earth, tells the story of humans saving Earth from the sun, which is about to explode. “Performers” created by Chinese robot companies, Youibot and ULS Robotics, are part of its spectacle.
In the film, automated robots from Youibot patrol within the space station, help provide data for human decision-making and carry supplies. “About 80 percent of our products fit with the designed scenes set in 2050. In the film, 16 robots of 14 different types are produced by us,” Zhang Zhaohui, CEO of Youibot, told Beijing Review.
