With the breakthrough of general artificial intelligence technology as the engine, we will create the brain and cerebellum of humanoid robots, support the construction of national humanoid robot manufacturing innovation centers, key laboratories, and other innovation carriers, enhance the supply capacity of key common technologies, and empower more industries to innovate and develop.

Gathering Intelligence to Promote Innovation

In recent years, many places have accelerated the layout of the robot industry, implemented classified policies to expand the depth and breadth of robot applications, and formed a group of robot industry clusters that integrate research and development, production, and service.

Chen Ying, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the China Electronics Society, stated that from the distribution of national level specialized, refined, and innovative "little giant" enterprises and listed companies in the field of robotics in China, high-quality robotics enterprises are mainly distributed in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta regions, forming industrial clusters represented by cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Dongguan, Hangzhou, Tianjin, Suzhou, Foshan, Guangzhou, Qingdao, etc. Under the leadership and drive of local high-quality enterprises, a group of enterprises with strong competitiveness in specific fields have emerged.

At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and 17 other departments jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the "Robot+" Application Action, proposing to promote innovative practices in the "Robot+" application in various industries and regions based on their development stages and regional characteristics.

Policy guidance, actively responded by various regions. Beijing Yizhuang recently released the "Three Year Action Plan for High Quality Development of the Robot Industry in Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone", which proposes that by 2025, the compound annual growth rate of robot research and development investment will reach over 50%, and 50 robot application scenario demonstration projects will be built. The density of robots in industrial enterprises above designated size will reach 360 units per 10000 people, and the output value scale will reach 10 billion yuan.

"Beijing regards robots as the industrial direction for high-quality development in the capital in the new era, and proposes multiple specific measures to promote industrial innovation and development from four aspects: supporting enterprise innovation, promoting industrial agglomeration, accelerating scenario application, and strengthening factor guarantee." said Su Guobin, Deputy Director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology.
