Both robots will also appear in Malaysia's 69th National Day Parade at Dataran Putrajaya on 31 August, marking Honor as the first smartphone brand to join as a contingent. The D1 previously completed a 21.1km half-marathon in Beijing in 50:26. Why: This is a brand activation, not a builder-relevant release. No APIs, SDKs, pricing, or developer tooling are announced. The only practical signal is that humanoid robotics demos are becoming public spectacle in Malaysia, which may matter to robotics startups or event-tech vendors watching consumer appetite, but there is nothing here to adopt or integrate. humanoid-robots malaysia-tech brand-activation events
