Smart disruption? China will mass-produce AI-powered humanoid robots by 2025 to unsettle industry

Firstpost  

China hopes to disrupt industries and how factories function just like how smartphones disrupted human interaction. For that, they are planning to start manufacturing AI powered humanoid robots in huge numbers by 2025 In a groundbreaking development that will have widespread repercussions on robotics and AI, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has unveiled an ambitious blueprint to create and mass-produce humanoid robots that promise to disrupt industries and human interaction. According to the MIIT’s announcement last week, the nation’s humanoid robots are expected to reach an “advanced level” by 2025, with mass production becoming a reality by that time. Although the policy document did not delve into intricate details, it underlines China’s determination to create humanoid robots with the capability to think, learn, and innovate by the year 2027. Notably, South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Group acquired Boston Dynamics in a significant $1.1 billion deal three years ago, further highlighting the global push for advancements in humanoid robotics.
