At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2025) being held in Las Vegas, several humanoid robots developed by Chinese companies are in the spotlight amid the global AI boom, highlighting China’s position as a frontrunner in cutting-edge technological innovation. became apparent.
NIVIDA CEO Jensen Huang announced that at CES 2025, a group of leading robotics and automotive companies, including six Chinese companies: ROBOTERA, Agibot, Fourier, Galbot, Unitree, and XPENG, will be the first to use the company’s latest AI platform, Cosmos. announced that it would be hired.
According to NVIDIA’s website, Cosmos is intended to accelerate the development of physical AI systems such as self-driving cars and robots.
Iron, a humanoid robot developed by Chinese automaker XPENG, debuted in November 2024 and has been deployed at XPENG’s automobile assembly plant in Guangzhou province in southern China. According to a statement sent by XPENG to the Global Times on Thursday, the collaboration with NIVIDIA’s Cosmos platform will further accelerate the company’s development of humanoid robots.
Apart from ROBOTERA’s humanoid robot “Star 1”, the Chinese company also exhibited XHand at CES 2025. XHand is a human-like robotic hand designed for object manipulation that can be attached to embodied robots.
ROBOTERA’s debut at CES demonstrates the company’s strength in technology and product innovation in the field of embodied intelligence, as well as evidence of the company’s global vision and market potential, the company said on social media. mentioned in.
In a social media post, Galbot said that in collaboration with NVIDIA, the two companies will advance research in areas such as simulation and synthetic data through a shared commitment to advancing large-scale embodied model robots for practical applications. He said he was making progress.
Increased exposure of Chinese humanoid robot companies at global industry fairs highlights significant progress in China’s humanoid robot manufacturing, driven by strong policy support and investment, Ministry of Industry information said Pan Helin, a member of the Telecommunication Economics Expert Committee. Information Technology, told the Global Times on Thursday.
Towards the beginning of 2025, the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Zhongguancun Science Park Management Committee on Monday released a draft action plan to develop local embodied intelligence technology, and Emphasis is placed on efficient and large-scale application.
By 2027, Beijing will cultivate more than 50 core enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the embodied intelligent robot industry chain, develop more than 50 mass-produced products, and achieve more than 100 large-scale industrial application projects. He will be on top of the world. The draft action plan revealed that the total production scale will exceed 10,000 units for the first time.
“China boasts strong advantages in robot development, including high demand, a strong manufacturing base, and a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. The growing scale of applications will help the industry strengthen its competitiveness and supply We are refining the chain and forming an industrial cluster,” said Liu Gang. The chief economist of the China New Generation AI Development Strategy Institute told the Global Times on Thursday.
Mr. Pan pointed out that China’s humanoid robot industry has reached a world-leading level in terms of application scenarios, market penetration, and scale of industrial chain and supply chain, and said that cooperation with foreign companies will increase computing power. He added that it has the potential to solve problems and accelerate technological innovation.
