China’s research institutions and robotics laboratories are stepping up efforts to refine hardware precision and artificial intelligence systems, drawing inspiration from breakthroughs in embodied intelligence — the integration of AI with physical robotics.
According to TV BRICS, this new phase of technological advancement is enabling robots to perform increasingly complex tasks and interact safely with humans, moving beyond controlled demonstrations into real-world environments such as factories, logistics hubs, and public spaces.
Experts highlight that China is rapidly advancing the commercialisation of humanoid robots, with significant progress observed in industrial automation, smart logistics, education, and healthcare.
“The rising trend of industrial robotics in 2025 was mainly driven by efficiency, advancements in AI, the complexity of products, the resilience of supply chains, and the expansion of robotics into other industries. As we move forward, it is clear that robots will play a crucial role in shaping the future of work and revolutionising various sectors,” said Zhong Xiangyun, a humanoid robot industry observer.
Industry data shows that in the first nine months of 2025 alone, more than 600 investment deals were recorded in the field of embodied intelligence, with total financing exceeding US$6.9 billion — more than double the amount registered during the same period last year.
