There was no place for boredom at the 2025 planet Robotics Conference in Beijing. Humanoid robots playing ball, fighting boxing, and working closely together on the assembly of cars attracted crowds, but were more than just an awesome show. This is simply a manifestation of China's strength and determination, which have set themselves the goal of dominated another large technological revolution. The government in Beijing does not hide – by 2025 the country is to be ready for mass production of advanced humanoid robots.
National strategy and investment fever
This year's planet Robotics Conference (WRC), held under the slogan “Make Robots Smarter”, was record-breaking. Over 200 companies presented over 1500 products, and among them there were humanoids. It's not a coincidence. China treats humanoid robotics as a strategic, forward-looking manufacture that is to become a new, powerful engine of economical growth.
The Ministry of manufacture and Information Technology (MIIT) has already published guidelines last year that clearly specify the objectives:
- By 2025: make an first innovation system, master key “brain, brain and limb” technologies and start mass production.
- Until 2027: importantly strengthen innovation capacity and build a secure, reliable supply chain that will guarantee global competitiveness for China.
There's quite a few money behind the words. Beijing launched a fund worth 10 billion yuan (about $1.4 billion) to support the industry, and private investors and technology giants, specified as Xiaomi, join the race, creating an investment fever.
“Innovative resources from around the planet converge in the robotics sector at an unprecedented rate”, said Xin Guobin, Deputy Minister of manufacture and Information Technology. “This wave of innovation is not only a technological leap, but a profound transformation of productivity.”
Stars of Beijing Fair: From strong men to guardians
In Beijing exhibition halls you could see the future that is happening in front of us. Among the presented machines were 2 models:
Fourier Intelligence GR-1: a man with a caring mission
This robot, developed by a company in Shanghai, impresses with parameters. It measures 1,65 m and weighs 55 kg, is able to lift a burden of as much as 50 kg. However, his main intent is not to work in a factory, but to supply wellness care and aid the elderly. Thanks to advanced artificial intelligence, comparable to ChatGPT, GR-1 can interact naturally with humans. The company plans mass production, seeing in the occupation the solution to the problem of medical shortages and an ageing population.
Unitree H1: agility and dynamics
Unitree, previously known for its quadruped dog robots, presented the H1 model, which moves at a velocity of up to 5 km/h. Its agility and dynamics make it an perfect platform for further investigation and improvement in utmost conditions. Although the company president admits that AI technology inactive requires refinement, Unitree already offers its robots at amazingly low prices, which shows the Chinese marketplace strategy at any cost.
Robots enter factories and homes
Chinese ambition doesn't end with prototypes. The conference announced the 10 most promising application scenarios for humanoids. These include, inter alia:
- Industry and production: Installation in car factories, work in shipyards and in electronics production.
- Hazardous tasks: Inspections in petrochemical plants, power plants and emergency response.
- Services and care: aid in shops, hotels, as well as taking care of children and aged people at home.
Some of these scenarios are already becoming reality. Galbot announced that her robots are already working autonomously in a twelve pharmacies in Beijing, fulfilling orders.
China vs. the remainder of the world: Who wins the race?
China has been the world's largest industrial robot marketplace for 12 years and is liable for 2 thirds of global patents in this area. Now, thanks to the massive government support and integration of the full supply chain, they have an advantage in the race for dominance in the humanoid robot market.
Jeff Burnstein, president of the American Association for the improvement of Automation (A3), admitted at the conference that the Chinese national strategy gives them a immense advantage over countries that do not have a akin plan.
Beijing not only pursues planet leaders specified as Boston Dynamics or Tesla, but in any areas begins to overtake them, especially at the rate of robot deployment for real applications. The planet Robotics Conference 2025 has shown that the humanoid era is just beginning, and its command center is located in China.
