In the first half of this year, China's humanoid robot production exceeded 40,000 units, with expectations to surpass 100,000 units by year-end. The top ten listed companies in the industry have combined orders exceeding 30 billion yuan. However, the challenge remains to convert this production capacity and orders into stable operational 'labor' in real-world scenarios.
The transition from prototype to product and then to usable 'labor' requires overcoming several technical hurdles, including model adaptation and engineering for specific environments. A pressing issue is the communication gap between scene providers and developers, which significantly contributes to the disparity between shipment volumes and actual operational quantities.
The GDPS 2026 Developer Series will take place in Shanghai on October 23-24, focusing on the theme 'Embodied Intelligence in Real Scenarios.' The event will feature a main forum and four workshops, emphasizing collaboration among scene providers, manufacturers, and developers to bridge information gaps and efficiently match demand with technical capabilities.
