BEIJING, 18 August (BelTA - China Daily) - Forget static displays. At
the 2025 World Robot Conference held in Beijing earlier this month,
robots traded blows in boxing rings, strategized over games of Gomoku,
and meticulously demonstrated intangible cultural heritage crafts. These
weren't distant concepts, but dynamic, interactive machines
accelerating their integration into the fabric of daily life.
The event served as a powerful testament to China's surging robotics prowess, showcasing a future where humanoids play an increasingly important role in daily life and work.
The scale was staggering - a record-breaking 50 humanoid robot manufacturers unveiled their latest models and solutions at the conference.
China's ambition is underpinned by solid progress. A KPMG report revealed that China leads the world with nearly 6,000 humanoid robot patent filings in the past five years.
Investment has skyrocketed, with industry financing soaring to 7.23 billion yuan ($1 billion) in 2024 from 1.58 billion yuan in 2020 - a blistering 35.6 percent compound annual growth rate.
The growth has just begun and exponential growth is yet to come, experts said, emphasizing a pivotal shift: advanced technologies like high-precision force control sensing are no longer optional luxuries, but essential foundations.
