On November 23, Changan Automobile released an official statement, announcing the implementation of a '1 + N + X' strategy in its robotics business. This strategy places emphasis on intelligent automotive robot technology and related business operations.

In the realm of humanoid robots, Changan Automobile is joining forces with top - tier partners for research and development endeavors. The objective is to achieve significant advancements in key technologies, including the robot's 'brain' (intelligent control system), 'energy' (power supply and management), and 'drive' (locomotion and actuation mechanisms).

Regarding product planning, Changan Automobile is concentrating its efforts on the research and development of humanoid robot technology and its high - end applications. This focus is intended to drive the progress of other smart mobility solutions and automotive robots. Catering to diverse settings such as factories, retail stores, households, and specialized scenarios, Changan Automobile will roll out a variety of embodied intelligent robot products in three stages: short - term, medium - term, and long - term. Starting from next year, the company plans to gradually unveil prototype machines and continuously refine them. Moreover, it is anticipated that the first in - vehicle component robot will make its debut in the first quarter of next year.
