With the advent of the era of generative AI, a new competition regarding humanoid robots has begun. In order to explore more opportunities for the collaborative development of the humanoid robot industry chain and support the development of a new model for the Chinese humanoid robot industry, efforts are being made to accelerate the practical application of the Chinese humanoid robot industry. On December 14th, at the “2023 China Mobile Robot (AGV/AMR) Industry Development Annual Conference” hosted by the CMR Industry Alliance, the “2023 (Shenzhen) Bipedal/Humanoid Robot Ecological Summit” will be held concurrently. Representatives from companies in the bipedal/humanoid robot industry chain will gather to discuss the latest technologies and development trends in bipedal/humanoid robots.
