Recently, the final of the "100 meter Flying Man" at the World Humanoid Robot Games fired a shot and started running. Two Yushu H1 robots and two Tiangong Ultra robots from Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center participated in the competition. As one of the most participated and fiercely competitive events in this year's sports meet, the "100 meter sprinter" competition has 23 groups of 90 robot athletes participating. In the end, the Yushu H1 robot was the first to collide with the line. Due to its "full autonomy", the Tiangong Ultra robot was able to multiply the score coefficient by 0.8 and ultimately won the championship with a time of 21.5 seconds. It is predicted that the sales volume of humanoid robots in China is expected to exceed 10000 this year, with a year-on-year growth of 125%. At the application level, humanoid robots have been piloted and invested in industrial manufacturing, retail distribution, catering services, and other fields, and the industry is entering the stage of large-scale implementation. 'Chasing each other and showcasing their strengths' has become a vivid portrayal of the development of the domestic humanoid robot industry. Trend 1: Innovative applications will accelerate the promotion of large-scale production, and the overall cost of the machine will further decrease; Risk and ethics need to be studied and governed simultaneously. This year, "embodied intelligence" was first included in the Government Work Report. The State Council recently issued the "Opinions on Deepening the Implementation of the" Artificial Intelligence+"Action", proposing to cultivate intelligent native new models and formats for the development of the "Artificial Intelligence+" industry. Humanoid robots are a typical format in the embodied intelligence track. At present, many regions have introduced policies to support the development of humanoid robots. Hangzhou has included the complete machine, software algorithms, and key components of humanoid robots in the scope of key scientific research projects supported by the city; Beijing establishes a government investment fund with a total scale of 100 billion yuan and a duration of 15 years; Shanghai has proposed that by 2027, the scale of the embodied intelligence core industry will exceed 50 billion yuan... Industry experts say that currently, the "turning point" of the scale of humanoid robots has emerged, with hardware, "cerebellar" movement ability, and "brain" intelligence continuously improving, and some enterprises have achieved scale production and delivery. Han Fengtao, founder and CEO of Qianxun Intelligence, believes that the technology in the field of humanoid robots has shown a characteristic of integrated development. At the hardware level, core components such as joint actuators and sensors are gradually becoming more consistent and standardized in terms of technology roadmap. At the software level, artificial intelligence algorithms related to perception, decision-making, and control are still in the stage of parallel exploration of multiple technological paths. With the advancement of large-scale production, the cost of core components has significantly decreased. For example, the price of the new generation of joint modules has entered the range of hundreds of yuan from thousands of yuan. ”Han Fengtao said, "It is expected that the overall cost of the machine will further decrease, and large-scale applications will follow the path of 'industry before logistics, and commercial before household use'." Liu Wei, director of the Human Computer Interaction and Cognitive Engineering Laboratory at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, believes that with the arrival of the large-scale application stage, the development of humanoid robots will also bring many ethical and social challenges. "For example, when humanoid robots cause injuries or accidents, who should bear the responsibility? Is it the producer, owner, or the robot itself? Secondly, humanoid robots may collect a large amount of personal information from users in the process of providing services. How to ensure that this information is not abused is an urgent problem to be solved." The widespread application of humanoid robots may also trigger humans to rethink their own value and meaning of existence. Liu Wei said, "How to avoid excessive dependence on robots and maintain human autonomy and creativity also requires in-depth exploration. The development of humanoid robots should strive to benefit humanity. According to Duan Weiwen, a researcher at the Cultural Development Promotion Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, while accelerating innovative applications, interdisciplinary research should be conducted from the perspectives of robotics, human factors engineering, and human-computer behavior psychology to timely explore the risks and impacts that humanoid robots may bring to humans in specific scenarios, and to carry out timely control and governance. In short, there should be a certain ethical sensitivity towards humanoid robot technology, combining value reflection and ethical scrutiny with research on the impact of humanoid robots on human behavior and psychology. ”Duan Weiwen said that we should start with preventive and ethical design, dynamically adjust and manage the ethical risks of the entire cycle of innovative applications of humanoid robots, and promote responsible research and innovation. Trend 2: Collaborative development of multiple factors such as higher technological level, hardware innovation, advanced algorithms, and high-quality data accumulation; Intelligent communication technologies such as satellite navigation positioning and 5G communication support Beijing Yizhuang, with over 300 ecological enterprises in robotics and intelligent manufacturing, forming an industrial chain covering core components, complete machine manufacturing, system integration, and scene solutions; Shenzhen Nanshan has realized the rapid transformation of humanoid robots from design to mass production, "designing drawings in the morning, processing downstairs at noon, and obtaining samples in the afternoon"... In recent years, China's humanoid robots have steadily improved their original innovation and engineering realization capabilities, and their industrial supporting facilities have been improved. The evolution and iteration of humanoid robots cannot be separated from the coordinated development of hardware innovation, model capability improvement, and high-quality data accumulation, "said Han Fengtao. Jiao Jichao, Vice President and Dean of the Research Institute of Ubiquitous, believes that the core components of humanoid robots need to improve stability and gradually reduce size. "For example, the development of harmonic reducers, high-power density motors, various sensors, etc. can drive the improvement of the design and manufacturing level of humanoid robot joint modules and dexterous hands." In addition to hardware, another driving force for humanoid robots is algorithms. In recent years, thanks to the development of large-scale models, humanoid robots have made rapid breakthroughs in motion ability, perception ability, and intelligence level. For example, a visual language action model that integrates visual perception, language understanding, and action control can help create an "end-to-end" decision-making system for humanoid robots. Han Fengtao gave an example that high-performance integrated force control joints and advanced algorithms enable humanoid robots to complete fine operations such as folding clothes and retrieving drinks. At the same time, data is the key to enhancing the "brain ability" of robots. Only by accumulating more high-quality real data can the scene application ability of robots continue to improve. In Jiao Jichao's view, there is still great room for improvement in the learning generalization ability, adaptability to environmental changes, and autonomous decision-making ability of humanoid robots. In addition to the innovation and iteration of its own software and hardware, the development of humanoid robots also relies on related technologies such as satellite navigation and positioning, 5G communication, etc. At the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, a robot action center that integrates spatiotemporal perception and edge computing power, the "spatiotemporal computing backpack," attracted attention. Unlike regular backpacks, the user of this backpack is a humanoid robot. This backpack comes with a combination of Beidou satellite antenna, board and other spatiotemporal intelligent hardware, which can provide 7 × 24-hour Beidou spatiotemporal intelligent services. It endows robots with dynamic centimeter level precise positioning and multi model collaborative reasoning capabilities, allowing them to move from indoors to outdoors. ”Introduction by Chen Jinpei, CEO of Qianxun Location Network Co., Ltd. This year's World Humanoid Robot Games achieved full coverage of 5G-A networks both inside and outside the arena. Qin Yang, Deputy General Manager of Beijing Unicom, introduced: "We provide multi-dimensional network capabilities such as large uplink, high reliability, and wide connectivity for humans and robots. Especially in the venue, we have increased the network peak to 2.4Gbps (gigabits per second) through ultra high bandwidth, supporting the communication network needs of humanoid robots in environmental interaction, real-time decision-making, precise positioning, and multi machine collaboration. ”Trend 3: Stronger comprehensive performance "throw away the remote control" and achieve fully autonomous mode; The application scenarios are constantly expanding, playing various important roles. Recently, Ubiquitous released the industrial humanoid robot Walker S2. This 1.76-meter tall robot with 52 degrees of freedom and industrial grade dexterous hands can stably transport a 15 kilogram load in a full space range of 0 to 1.8 meters, and complete flexible movements such as touching the ground, squatting, and long-distance grasping. In addition, it also has the ability to operate continuously through autonomous battery swapping. Unlike the robotic arms used in industrial settings, humanoid robots not only need to have a humanoid physical "body" to adapt and act intelligently in the environment, but also need to possess the motor coordination ability of the "cerebellum" and the generalization and interaction ability of the "brain"'s visual language and actions. Humanoid robots require precise coordination of dozens of joints throughout the body, involving deep integration of multiple fields such as mechanical structures, drive systems, sensing technology, control algorithms, and artificial intelligence. Any weakness in any link can affect overall performance. ”Introduction by Jiao Jichao. The development of humanoid robots as a whole is a complex system engineering, making it extremely challenging for humanoid robots to understand instructions, understand the environment, and independently complete complex tasks. Taking the 100 meter sprint as an example, 'throwing away the remote control' is not a simple functional trade-off. The essence of remote control operation is to allow robots to temporarily 'borrow' human brains to complete environmental perception, path planning, and assist in dynamic balance control. The fully autonomous mode means that the robot needs to complete the 'perception decision execution' loop on its own and autonomously respond to possible emergencies. ”An example provided by the person in charge of the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center. Humanoid robots cannot just be "athletic masters". In the past two years, multiple humanoid robots have entered the factory for "practical training" in China. Jiao Jichao believes that "practical training" can provide humanoid robots with opportunities for performance verification and optimization in real environments, and can also accumulate a large amount of high-quality scene data for algorithm training, industrial scene model optimization, etc. "Currently, we have invested more than 100 industrial humanoid robots in practical factory environments for practical training, which can achieve human level efficiency of 30% -40%." Family life scenarios are another application scenario worth looking forward to. Compared to the "structured scenarios" in industry where preset and fixed tasks are performed, households often have to face unstructured and complex life scenarios. For example, elderly care robots can provide functions such as health management and remote care in home settings, "said Li Xuewei, General Manager of Xinsong Medical Robot Business Unit. Liu Wei stated that humanoid robots will play various important roles in the future society. In the field of production, they will be an important supplement to labor force; In the service industry, they can provide home services and educational counseling to meet the diverse needs of different groups of people. Future humanoid robots will gradually achieve human-machine collaboration and integration. They will not only work independently, but also closely collaborate with humans
