A Beijing-based energy company has taken a major step toward commercial airborne wind power after completing the maiden flight and grid-connected power generation test of its megawatt-class system in Southwest China.

Chinese energy giant Ming Yang Smart Energy has developed the “world’s first fully recyclable carbon fiber wind turbine blade.”

The company just rolled out Qingtian Rent, a rental platform that lets you hire robots for weddings, concerts, trade shows, and business meetings. AgiBot’s advanced Yuanzheng A2 model rents for $1,380 per day, while budget options like the Unitree Go2 robot dog start at $138 daily. The move could potentially reshape the global robotics market: China’s rental sector hit $140M in 2025 and is projected to explode to $1.4B next year.

Wait, I don’t get this. I thought chatGPT was a word game related to words weighed by associations and probabilities. Now, chatGPT can operate a humanoid robot? Something smells fishy.

The number of recharge cycles still sounds low, but there is promise in ensuring the lithium is being re-used.

…MicroFactory highlighted that to set up the system, users must use copies of these robotic arms from outside the box.

The new material is fully biodegradable, tear-resistant, and functionally versatile, achieved without any chemical processing.

Imagine if they didn’t fully clean the glass out though
