The research report issued by CITIC Construction Investment Securities highlights that 2026 could emerge as a pivotal year for the vertical applications of humanoid robots, underscoring the necessity to prioritize the efficacy of robotic scenario implementations. With the enhancement of robots' generalization capabilities, it is anticipated that their utilization across industrial, commercial, and other sectors will progressively come to fruition. Physical AI is perceived as the forthcoming wave of artificial intelligence, and robots, serving as crucial physical embodiments of AI, merit attention in their developmental trajectory. Furthermore, the mass production process of Optimus is gaining momentum, with increasingly defined benchmarks for supply chain mass production scales, and its production acceleration pace is undergoing progressive validation. Continuous vigilance should be maintained regarding the subsequent unveiling and advancement of mass production for the V3 product. In the meantime, the IPOs of domestic robot companies are steadily advancing, which is projected to spur a revaluation of the valuation of robot bodies or main robot units. It is expected that within the upcoming quarter, this sector will experience multiple catalysts, and it is advisable to concentrate on high-quality segments.
