Unitree Robotics founder Wang Xingxing said the current level of robotics technology is comparable to that of a 10-year-old child, adding that large-scale commercial adoption is still three to five years away, and no more than a decade at most. Despite steady annual progress, Wang said key bottlenecks remain, including the limited generalization capability of embodied artificial intelligence algorithms, low mass-production yield rates for core components and a lack of standardized application scenarios. The company expects shipments of humanoid robots to reach between 10,000 and 20,000 units in 2026 and plans to accelerate expansion into industrial and service sectors. [TechNode Reporting]
