A lot of impressive-looking humanoid robots being advertised these days, especially coming out of China (like this one). I wonder what's driving that? Are robot-grade servos getting so much cheaper these days?

I was in the market for some servos lately, and e.g. Feetech sells what are basically clones of the popular Korean Dynamixel robotics servos for a lot cheaper.
Interesting. How does that translate into actually incentivizing the innovation? Subsidies, guaranteed purchase contracts, prize competitions, or something similar?

The CCP made robotics one of the main industrial focuses of the Fourteenth Five-year Plan.
