New Wave Robotics has announced the launch of innovative humanoid robots aiming to enhance various sectors by 2026. The plan was unveiled on February 27, 2026, at 01:00 AM, during a press conference highlighting the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence.
According to the announcement, the artificial intelligence (AI) market is projected to reach 4.6 trillion yuan in three years, with significant investments aimed at bolstering the AI and robotics industries. The city of Shenzhen is set to implement a new initiative to promote AI and humanoid robot manufacturing from 2025 to 2027.
The Action Plan aims to strengthen the industrial chain, enhance application scenarios, and accelerate technological innovation and resource allocation. By 2027, the intelligent product supply is expected to soar, with the value of AI products projected to reach 400 billion yuan. Additionally, the humanoid robotics sector anticipates a market value of 45 billion yuan, while electronic components for AI are estimated at 15 billion yuan.
Furthermore, humanoid robots are expected to see increased demand, particularly in Shenzhen’s manufacturing and logistics sectors, where advanced AI technologies can significantly optimize operations. The robotics industry has seen a surge in applications across various sectors, indicating a robust future for humanoid robots.
During the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES), several companies, including Unitree Robotics, showcased their latest developments in AI-driven autonomous robots. Unitree, established in 2016, has become a leader in the development of quadruped and humanoid robots, focusing on precision control and lightweight materials.
On the other hand, the As2 humanoid robot, weighing only 18 kg, has garnered attention due to its advanced capabilities. It integrates high-precision AI functionalities, making it suitable for various applications, including education and healthcare. The robot supports multiple operational modes and can efficiently navigate complex environments.
The humanoid robotics market in China has shown consistent growth for 12 consecutive years, with projections indicating a production volume that could reach 30.2 million units by 2024. This makes China the largest market for industrial robots globally, with significant advancements in AI applications.
The report suggests that the growth of humanoid robots is fueled by a rising demand for automation across industries. The market is expected to continue expanding as technological innovations enable more sophisticated applications.
In summary, the future of humanoid robots in China looks promising, driven by strong government support, technological advancements, and growing market demand.
