The 2026 Yabuli Forum Innovation Annual Conference took place in Shanghai. During the conference, Chen Li, the co-founder of Unitree Robotics, expressed that the intelligent robotics industry is on the cusp of significant breakthroughs within the next two to five years. He highlighted three primary areas of focus: first, the advancement of unified end-to-end large robot models; second, the development of cost-effective, durable hardware capable of mass production; and third, the attainment of affordable, large-scale computing capabilities. Chen Li emphasized that the key benchmark for embodied AI to achieve its ‘ChatGPT moment’ is the ability of robots to successfully complete roughly 80% of tasks in 80% of unfamiliar environments through voice or text commands. He foresees that by 2030, embodied AI robots will spark a new wave of consumer demand, propelling enhancements in social productivity and the workforce.
