At the 2026 International Congress of Basic Science in Beijing, Chien-Shiung Wu Medal recipient Zhenan Bao speaks with CGTN's Tian Wei about what could be the next frontier for AI: touch. As AI learns to listen, speak and remember, Bao says tactile sensing could help it move beyond the digital world and interact with physical reality. She expects the technology to enter robotics, especially humanoid robots, in the coming years, enabling them to operate more safely around humans and make better decisions. #ICBS2026 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count bankn
