updated: 2024-10-27 20:19:28

In a significant stride for the robotics sector, the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center has been officially upgraded to the National-Local Co-built Humanoid Robot Innovation Center as of Oct 10. This move cements the humanoid robot industry's role as a pivotal component in the national modern industrial system, with Beijing E-Town now home to a "national team" of humanoid robots.


National-Local Collaboration Drives Innovation

The newly upgraded center is set to lead the charge in embodied intelligent technology, addressing industry-wide challenges, formulating standards, and optimizing the integration of innovation, industry, and supply chain resources. The aim is to reduce R&D and pilot program costs, expand application scenarios, and accelerate the maturity of innovative products for global leadership.
