NEW YORK, BRONX (ORDO News) — The authorities of the People‘s Republic of China (PRC) have announced plans for the development of humanoid robots, which are designed to compete with world leaders in this field.
The ambitious project aims to give birth to robots that can learn, infer and evolve, and could be a powerful boost to China’s robotics industry.
Innovation in robotics is attracting attention from around the world, and companies such as Tesla and Boston Dynamics have long been working on creating humanoid robots.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has previously demonstrated his company’s success in this area, and Boston Dynamics has made significant progress in this area.
However, China is resolutely keeping pace with global competitors and also intends to achieve success.
The corresponding government plan was published this week, and it provides financial support for young Chinese companies specializing in the field of robotics.
The government expects these companies to make significant breakthroughs in sensor technology, motion control and machine-human interaction.
Artificial intelligence and fine motor skills of manipulators shaped like human arms and legs will also be key aspects of the development.
According to the Chinese government’s plan, by 2025 Chinese companies should begin producing humanoid robots. By 2027, the country’s authorities expect that robots will be able to learn, make logical conclusions and develop.
The government is also committed to participating in the development of sustainable supply chains to support the robotics industry at this stage of development.
Interest in the project has already sent shares of some Chinese robotics makers soaring, rising about 10% following the government’s announcement. In addition, China intends to catch up and even get ahead of its geopolitical competitors in the field of robotics.
In a global context, the development and production of humanoid robots is becoming one of the key innovation areas, and China is a serious participant in this race.
