The China Institute of Technology has created a 'Core Bipedal Robot' that can lift incredibly heavy items.
This robot stands tall with two legs so that it can walk and bend its knees to pick up the heaviest of objects. It can lift up to 100kg and walk at the same time. The China Institute of Technology says it's the only robot that is capable of such heavy lifting. Take a look at the video to see the robot in action.
