With the continuous progress of technology, the industrialization of humanoid robots has also begun to accelerate.

IC660BBA025K Recently, the General Office of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government issued the “Action Plan of Shanghai to Promote the Industrial Upgrading of Industrial Services (2024-2027)”, proposing to promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and manufacturing, create a national humanoid robot manufacturing innovation center, in the fields of automobile, electrical equipment production and parts processing. Create a number of humanoid robots to enable manufacturing application scenarios and form robot production solutions.

As early as the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other seven departments jointly issued the “Implementation Opinions on Promoting Future Industrial Innovation and Development”, focusing on breaking through key technologies, cultivating key products, and expanding scene applications.

At the end of March, at the 2024 Shanghai Global Investment Promotion Conference, Shanghai released key industry chain segmentation track investment opportunities, and proposed plans to achieve 1,000 humanoid robots in scale application demonstration within three years, guided by “application traction and scenario-driven”. Relying on the humanoid robot manufacturing innovation center, create an innovation ecology integrating technology research and development, achievement incubation, talent cultivation, and platform support, and accelerate the industrialization process of humanoid robots.

In early July, at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Zhuang Mudi, deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, once again stressed that the humanoid robot industry is a key area of innovation and development in Shanghai, and the Shanghai Municipal Government will continue to optimize the innovation ecology, support the research and development of core technologies and industrial agglomeration, in order to achieve high-quality development of the humanoid robot industry. It is hoped that experts and developers will actively contribute wisdom and jointly shape Shanghai’s leading position in the field of humanoid robots.

IC660BBA025K The development path of humanoid robots is becoming increasingly clear, which application scenarios will be the first to land? What industries are expected to benefit from humanoid robots in the future?

Behind the scene landing: It is crucial for scale

Yang Zhengye, director of the market system of the National and local joint construction of the humanoid Robot Innovation Center (hereinafter referred to as the “National Innovation Center”), said in an interview with a surging reporter that it is now the era of “technology is king”, so it is necessary to develop the humanoid robot industry. At present, there is a gap in technology, including data, software development, some high-end scientific research facilities and equipment, the establishment of the national innovation center, that is, in order to accumulate resources through the national power to solve the problem of the humanoid robot industry in the primary stage, “vertical time axis we can not achieve catch-up, then you can through the horizontal, To accumulate resources together through the power of the whole country.”
