The government work report for this year underscores the nurturing of nascent industries, encompassing biomanufacturing, quantum technology, embodied AI, and 6G. Among these, humanoid robots, a pivotal branch of embodied AI, have demonstrated immense potential across industrial manufacturing, daily life services, and other sectors. They are poised to follow in the footsteps of smartphones and new energy vehicles as the next game-changing product. China has secured an early-mover advantage in the realm of humanoid robots, comparable to developed nations, yet faces hurdles such as inadequate technological innovation capabilities, outdated manufacturing processes, and elevated overall costs. Consequently, it is imperative to adopt a multifaceted approach encompassing scientific and technological innovation, scenario-based application, industrial organization, and ecological development to forge new competitive edges.
