Ammon News - Amazing footage shows the moment the first humanoid robot climbs the Great Wall of China.

In a chilling display of the advancement of AI and technology, the robot displays remarkable navigating skills and intelligence as it walks over the uneven and broken pavement of the Great Wall.

It easily handled stairs and even performed tai-chi - a Chinese martial art - moves once it reached the wall's guard towers.

The humanoid robot was designed and built by Robot Era.

Reinforced learning technology helped the machine accomplish the great feat, they said.

Yue Xi, co-founder of Robot Era, said: "Algorithms help to strengthen the robot's perceptive and decision-making capacity in the face of unfamiliar terrains.

"The robot thus can recognize complex road conditions and adjust its walking stance in a timely manner."

The robot was installed with advanced navigational and balancing systems.

In the video, it has duct tape wrapped around its midsection which could be a quick fix by engineers to ensure the robot remains stable during the climb.
