At the 2026 Spring Festival Gala, which celebrated the Year of the Horse, four leading Chinese embodied AI companies—Magic Atom, Galaxy General, Unitree Robotics, and Songyan Dynamics—staged a spectacular joint robot performance. This showcase highlighted their advancements in high-dynamic motion control, embodied large models, engineering-scale production, and social interaction capabilities.

Embodied AI represents a transformative leap in artificial intelligence, endowing AI systems with a physical 'body' and enabling them to transition from mere 'thinkers' to proactive 'doers.' This marks a pivotal milestone in AI's evolution towards its next frontier.

According to projections by the international research firm IDC, global investment in embodied AI is expected to soar into the hundreds of billions of dollars by 2030, with China's market emerging as the fastest-growing segment. Chinese companies are rapidly evolving from 'followers' to 'parallel innovators,' even taking the lead in certain key areas.
