“Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” March 8 (Reporter Li Mingming)“embodied intelligence” and “intelligent robots” appeared for the first time in this year’s government work report (hereinafter referred to as the “Report”).

At present, more than ten provinces and cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong have issued specific policies to support the development of the embodied intelligent/humanoid robot industry.The scene of Yushu robot performing yangko on the stage of this year’s Spring Festival Gala made the field explode and enter the public’s attention.

Regarding how to better promote the development of related industries, a reporter from “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” interviewed representative entrepreneurs in the field of specific intelligence to interpret the content of the report.

Lingbao CASBOT co-founder and COO Zhang Miao told the “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” reporter that the “Report” emphasized the importance of embodied intelligent robots in scene applications. Future policies and resource tilt will boost the industry.

However, many industry chain people also admitted to the reporter of “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” that the development of the specific intelligent industry still faces challenges, including the performance parameter indicators of self-developed core components by various humanoid robot companies, and the scarcity of high-quality specific data.

Business representatives speak out

Specific intelligence refers to an intelligent system that senses and acts based on the physical body. It obtains information, understands problems, makes decisions and implements actions through the interaction between the agent and the environment, thereby producing intelligent behavior and adaptability. Robots are one of the representative products with embodied intelligence.

Talking about how to understand the requirements of the government work report of the two sessions on the concrete intelligence industry, Zhang Miao said that the “Report” pointed out that cultivating and strengthening future industries such as concrete intelligence, carrying out large-scale application demonstration actions of new technologies, new products and new scenarios, and establishing future industrial investment growth mechanism,This is to emphasize the importance of embodied intelligent robots in scene applications.

Zhang Miao believes that for Lingbao CASBOT, policies are both accelerators and strategic guidance.

“First of all, future policies and resource tilt will boost the industry. The second is the growth of market demand. Regarding the requirements pointed out in the “Report” such as “promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries” and “making advanced manufacturing industries bigger and stronger,” specific intelligence will play an indispensable role in them. With policy encouragement, demand for humanoid robots and embodied intelligent products and technologies will continue to erupt in all walks of life, which will also accelerate Lingbao’s process from technical verification to large-scale commercial implementation.” Zhang Miao said.

Ren Xiaoyu, founder and CEO of Dongyi Technology, told the reporter of “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” that the report mentioned that it will establish a future industry investment growth mechanism, cultivate and expand future industries such as embodied intelligence, and will vigorously develop new generation intelligence such as intelligent robots. Terminals and intelligent manufacturing equipment not only reflect the country’s strategic layout for scientific and technological innovation, but also point out the development direction for embodied intelligence.

“When Dongyi Technology was established, its vision was ‘Robot for AI’, which was committed to clearing the obstacles for general artificial intelligence to enter the physical world. In the new policy environment, we have seen opportunities for embodied intelligence to enter thousands of industries. We believe that more ecological partners will be willing to embrace embodied intelligence and jointly activate embodied intelligence with new technologies, new products, and new scenarios. With infinite possibilities, embodied intelligence will reshape productivity and lifestyle in the next decade.” Ren Xiaoyu said.

Thanks to the continuous development and support of artificial intelligence models in recent years, the industry believes that embodied intelligence will become a “thinking robot.”

According to the “Humanoid Robot Industry Research Report”, it is estimated that in 2025, the size of China’s humanoid robot market will be approximately 5.3 billion yuan, doubling year-on-year in 2024; by 2029, the size of China’s humanoid robot market may reach 75 billion yuan, accounting for 32.7% of the world’s total, ranking first in the world.

According to statistics from Cailian Venture Capital, from 2023 to March 5, 2025,A total of 1171 robot-related companies have completed 1623 financing events, and 2440 institutions have participated in investment. Investment institutions such as Shunwei Capital (24 investment events, involving 17 projects), Sequoia China (19 events, 14 projects), Qiji Chuantan (19 events, 17 projects), Shenzhen Venture Capital (19 events, 8 projects) are active. The total investment and financing amount is 21.777 billion yuan.

Regarding the development opportunities brought by the new policy environment to enterprises, Zhang Miao believes that the first is more cross-field cooperation. For the robot industry where Lingbao is located, the big language model gives robots the ability to interact intelligently. At present, Lingbao CASBOT has accumulated many partners in various fields. In addition to industrial scenarios, this year, it will also accelerate the implementation of commerce in the field of commercial services.

The second is international cooperation and the development of overseas markets. At present, domestic artificial intelligence and robot technology are at the international leading level. With the help of policy trends and exploring the international market, enterprises can achieve diversified market layout.

Ren Xiaoyu said that she expects policies to support special talent training, empowerment of specific scenarios, and coordination of hardware supply chains to jointly promote China’s global leadership in the field of specific intelligence.

Key to high-quality data integration

A number of industry experts told the “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” reporter that embodied intelligence is the only way for artificial intelligence to move from “virtual” to “physical world”. It will reshape the collaborative methods of manufacturing, service industries and even human society. Seize the dual advantages of hardware innovation and scenario implementation to develop.

However, just as large models require massive amounts of text data for training, high-quality and diversified data sets are the key to achieving rapid breakthroughs in embodied intelligence and rapid implementation of embodied robots.

It is reported that high-quality data sets can accelerate the training and deployment of tailored intelligent models, help them control various types of robots to follow different instructions, perform basic reasoning on complex tasks, and effectively complete these tasks.

A person in the relevant industry chain told the “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” reporter that the types of data with embodied intelligence are heterogeneous and diverse, including data from different sensors such as vision, force sense, and touch, and state data based on different robot bodies. There are also different action trajectory data. The information amount and complexity of the resulting heterogeneous data are huge. The generalization of any skill requires almost hundreds of millions of pieces of data.

Wei Jiaxing, the relevant person in charge of the National and Local Joint Construction of a Specific Intelligent Robot Innovation Center (hereinafter referred to as the “National Innovation Center”), told the reporter of the “Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily” thatThe scarcity of specific data has become a key factor restricting the development of specific intelligence.In order to accelerate the implementation process of embodied intelligence, the National Innovation Center has taken the lead in opening up the entire link of the embodied intelligence universal data set.

In April last year, the National Innovation Center released a plan for the construction of a customized intelligent data set, leading industry partners to create the largest, most information-dense and most universal high-quality customized intelligent data set.Accelerate specific intelligent iteration through a simulation technology platform that combines virtual and reality. Currently, the data collection of the National Innovation Center covers 6 types of ontology and 7 typical scenarios, and the daily output data has reached 10TB.

In December 2024, the National Innovation Center released my country’s first universal personified intelligence dataset and Benchmark called RoboMIND, which is suitable for multiple platforms, multiple scenarios, and multiple skills. It has been verified and effective by multiple models. The first batch of open high-quality personified intelligence 100,000 pieces.

“The National Innovation Center has also taken the lead in many national and industry standards such as the country’s first ‘Personalized Intelligent Data Collection Standard’, using clear standards and specifications to help improve the quality of data sets in the Personalized Intelligent Robot Industry.Using data sets as a tool, the National Innovation Center is constantly training and optimizing the two platforms of ‘Tiangong’ and ‘Huisi Kaiwu’ to realize long-journey task planning and generalization of multiple scenarios and complex tasks, and ultimately merge into a specific intelligent industry development. The basic base。”Wei Jiaxing said.

It is reported that the National Innovation Center has released the “Tiangong PRO”, which has complete arm functions, a height of 163cm, a weight of 56kg, and 42 degrees of freedom. It has multiple built-in visual sensing sensors and six-dimensional force sensors. It can be carried out every second. 550 trillion calculations have stronger intelligent interaction and task execution capabilities.
