Tsinghua University has officially announced the establishment of the Institute for Embodied Intelligence and Robotics. The institute is led by Zhang Tao, who also serves as the head of the Department of Automation, and has successfully drawn the involvement of numerous well - known scholars from the academic community. Previously, Tsinghua University had already taken the initiative to establish the Beijing Key Laboratory of Embodied Intelligence Systems and set up the 'Joint Research Center for Industrial Embodied Intelligence Robotics.'

In addition to Tsinghua University, many domestic universities are also stepping up their strategic deployment in the field of embodied intelligence. For instance, several universities have submitted applications to introduce new majors like 'Embodied Intelligence,' 'Embodied Intelligence Engineering,' and 'Future Robotics.' Some universities, such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University, have tailored their program settings to align with employment needs, offering students corporate job opportunities. Moreover, universities including Fudan University and Beihang University are also making strategic moves in embodied intelligence by establishing research institutes. The year 2025 could potentially be the starting point for a systematic and organized roll - out of embodied intelligence programs in universities. This is anticipated to ease the shortage of composite technical talent in the embodied intelligence industry.
