According to the Global Times , the robot received a "synthetic admission notice" in traditional red.
This is the first time in China that an intelligent robot with a physical body has been accepted into a doctoral program, taking classes alongside human graduate students for the next four-year course.
“Scholar 01” is described as “A Body-Smart Performer”, “An Art-Tech Explorer”, and “A Digital Opera Successor”.
The robot is 1.75m tall, weighs about 30kg, and is an optimized version of the "Walker No. 2" robot, which won third place at the world's first humanoid robot half-marathon held in Beijing.
According to experts, the curriculum of “Scholar 01” is specially designed, including modules: basic, art, system and task. The content ranges from perception and cognitive modeling, multimodal data integration, to evaluation of results in the form of “thesis defense” like regular graduate students.
The emergence of “Scholar 01” is seen as a groundbreaking experiment in Chinese higher education , opening up a direction for integration between generative AI and theater creation, as well as between expressive intelligence and specialized performance training.
The project marks the beginning of an interdisciplinary exploration between art and technology, with the ambition to redefine the future of art education.
