On June 9, 2026, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission initiated a specialized action for humanoid robots and embodied intelligence training. By August 15, the first pilot base for embodied intelligence in mining scenarios was unveiled in Yulin, Shaanxi, marking a significant transition from technology demonstration to real-world application in just 66 days.
This rapid development underscores the industry's shift towards practical deployment, with a goal to validate and deploy humanoid robots in representative scenarios by the end of 2026. The initiative aims to establish over 100 high-value application scenarios and achieve a deployment capacity of thousands of units, emphasizing the importance of operational success rates in real environments rather than mere technical specifications.
Looking ahead, the mining sector presents unique challenges for embodied intelligence, requiring advanced capabilities in perception, navigation, and decision-making under harsh conditions. The establishment of the pilot base is a strategic move to gather real data and validate engineering processes, setting a foundation for future applications in other high-risk industrial environments. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
