Humanoid robot "hot," the scale will reach 300 billion yuan in 2035!

The concept of humanoid robots has a long history, and the blood-and-blood alloy skeleton robot T800 and the liquid robot in the last century's Terminator 2 film have given us unprecedented fascination and horror at robots with super-intelligent intelligence.

In reality, the international has long been on the body humanoid robot has a long time of research and fruitful results, Japan Honda's ASIMO very early to achieve the climb stairs and other actions; The Atlas of Boston Dynamics in the United States has conquered countless fans around the world with high-jump, tumbling and other difficult movements; Tesla's Optimus Prime, launched in 22 years, has also proved highly practical, and lower cost expectations have made it possible to commercialize it.

The humanoid robot has high heat

The heat of humanoid robots is quite high! At the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference held recently in Shanghai, humanoid robots undoubtedly became one of the key areas of showcase. At the entrance of the convention venue, the "form of humanoid robots" from 15 enterprises and units in China was particularly noticeable, and the scene was truly spectacular! They were lined up neatly there, as if showing people the charm of technology, drawing a large audience to stop and watch.

According to incomplete statistics, a total of about 45 intelligent robots were displayed at the conference, including 25 humanoid robots. They are diverse in shape and versatile in function, some can communicate smoothly with people, some can complete complex actions, and one cannot help but lament the rapid development of technology.

In recent years, Shanghai has made full use of its strengths in the robot industry. There is a strong robot industry base here, the support for the industrial chain is very complete, and the industrial ecology is rich and diverse. Based on these advantages, Shanghai has made humanoid robots a new industry track of priority development, and the city has collaborated with others to continuously strengthen the advancement, so that the service energy level of the platform carrier has been fully improved.

It is understood that the country's first national-local joint humanoid robot innovation center was inaugurated in Pudong, Shanghai, in May this year. The humanoid robot "green dragon" developed by this innovation center sparkled on the podium at the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, attracting many attention. "Dragon" height of 185 cm, weight 80 kg, the body is as many as 43 degrees of freedom. Its technological advancement is amazing, even soft bread can ensure that the bread does not deform when it grasps, and this precise control capability and excellent flexibility fully demonstrate the major breakthrough in the technological development of humanoid robots.

Domestic and foreign companies race for the Blue Sea

"Humanoid robots, integrated with artificial intelligence, high-end manufacturing, new materials and other advanced technologies, are expected to become subversive products after computers, smart phones and new energy resources vehicles. They will profoundly change the way of human production and life and reshape the pattern of global industrial development." As stated in the opening paragraph of the Guidelines for the Innovative Development of Humanoid Robots issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology last November, humanoid robots are standing firmly in the center of the scientific and technological stage, like a shining star that foreshadows a huge and unprecedented change.

As an important branch of robotics, humanoid robots have quickly become a new direction of industry attention since the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology introduced them separately. And it is especially worth noting that humanoid robots play an irreplaceable and important role mainly in the service field, and because of this, it is reasonably classified as a service robot.

Looking at the global market, there are robots such as the "Ameca" robot created by Engineered Arts in the UK, the "Optimus" humanoid robot launched by Tesla, and the Figure 01 developed by Figure AI, an autonomous artificial intelligence robot. With their unique technological advantages and strong research and development capabilities, they have jointly developed the global robot technology development path, continuously promoting the continuous optimization and perfection of global robot technology.

In contrast, domestic humanoid robots already have leading technological capabilities. Although foreign companies are also actively exploring the application market, the scenarios often appear to be relatively single. In many cases, there is a high degree of customization and a lack of a broad and diverse market like in China. The richness and diversity of the domestic market provides more possibilities and broader space for the development of humanoid robots, allowing them to demonstrate strong adaptability and utility in different fields and scenarios.

This undoubtedly creates unique conditions for the development of domestic humanoid robots, and also lays a solid foundation for their ability to stand out in the global market.
