According to the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, on November 2, 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice on the "Guiding Opinions on the Innovative Development of Humanoid Robots", hereinafter referred to as the "Notice".

The integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, high-end manufacturing, and new materials into humanoid robots is expected to become a disruptive product after computers, smartphones, and new energy vehicles, profoundly transforming human production and lifestyle, and reshaping the global industrial development pattern. Currently, the accelerated evolution of humanoid robot technology has become a new highland for technological competition, a new track for future industries, and a new engine for economic development. It has great development potential and broad application prospects.

  Adopting a method of technology grading, product generation, and task staging, we will leverage the advantages of a comprehensive range of manufacturing industries, rich application scenarios, large market size, and a new national system to accelerate the innovative development of China's humanoid robot industry, and provide support for building a strong manufacturing country, a strong network country, and a digital China.

The Notice points out that by 2025, the innovation system for humanoid robots will be preliminarily established, and breakthroughs will be made in a number of key technologies such as the brain, cerebellum, and limbs, ensuring the safe and effective supply of core components. The complete machine products have reached international advanced levels and achieved mass production. They have been demonstrated and applied in special, manufacturing, and livelihood services scenarios, exploring the formation of effective governance mechanisms and means. Cultivate 2-3 globally influential ecological enterprises and a group of specialized, refined, and new small and medium-sized enterprises, create 2-3 industrial development clusters, and cultivate and explore a batch of new businesses, models, and formats.

By 2027, the technological innovation capability of humanoid robots will significantly improve, forming a safe and reliable industrial chain supply chain system, building an internationally competitive industrial ecosystem, and achieving a comprehensive strength that reaches the world's advanced level. The industry is accelerating its large-scale development, with more diverse application scenarios, and related products deeply integrated into the real economy, becoming an important new engine of economic growth.
