Beijing University is set to launch its first humanoid robot program, marking a significant milestone in the field of artificial intelligence. The program, which aims to develop intelligent humanoid robots, is scheduled to commence in the upcoming spring semester of 2026.
On February 6, 2026, a partnership was established between Beijing University of Science and Technology and the Beijing Municipal Government to initiate the development of humanoid robots. This collaboration will focus on specialized training, curriculum development, and practical application of robotic technologies.
The goal is to enhance the capabilities of humanoid robots, enabling them to assist in various sectors, including education and service industries. The program will also emphasize the need for high-level skills to meet the increasing demand for advanced robotics in various sectors.
“From the spring semester of 2026 onward, humanoid robots will become increasingly prevalent in our daily lives,” stated a spokesperson from the Beijing University School of Electrical Engineering. The institution is committed to expanding its educational offerings to align with industry demands, allowing students to engage directly with these emerging technologies.
In addition, the university plans to integrate a “hands-on instructor” approach, where more than 60% of courses will involve practical experiences. The “Training + Production” application model will also be introduced, ensuring that students gain valuable skills and knowledge relevant to the current market demands.
Students will have access to state-of-the-art humanoid robots and practical applications in various fields, preparing them for future careers in robotics and AI. The program aims to facilitate smooth connections between academic learning and industry practices, allowing students to transition seamlessly into their professional lives.
Beijing University hopes to lead the way in humanoid robot production and development, establishing itself as a top-tier educational institute in this rapidly evolving field. The institution is dedicated to fostering innovation and collaboration, ensuring that its graduates are well-equipped to meet future challenges in technology.
