The humanoid robotics<\/strong>, a field that for years was restricted to laboratories and academic research, is beginning to make the leap to real-world applications<\/strong>. China, with its sights set on leading the next wave of technological innovation, is stepping up the pace. The recent strategic partnership between Huawei and UBTech Robotics<\/strong>, two leading technology companies based in Shenzhen<\/strong>, is proof of this.<\/span><\/p>\n

A partnership with a global impact<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Huawei<\/strong>, known for her expertise in artificial intelligence, telecommunications and cloud computing<\/strong>, will join forces with UBTech Robotics<\/strong>, one of the most advanced Chinese companies in development of humanoid robots<\/strong>. The aim is clear: to create functional robots<\/strong> for environments industrial and domestic<\/strong>, and to promote its widespread adoption<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Huawei will contribute its technological expertise through its Ascend and Kunpeng chips<\/strong>, in addition to its infrastructure of Generative AI<\/strong> y cloud computing<\/strong>. UBTech, for its part, will contribute its expertise in the design and manufacture of human-shaped robots<\/strong>, with a view to making them increasingly autonomous, safe and efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the laboratory to everyday life<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Both companies also plan to set up a innovation centre<\/strong> focused on the call \u00abembodied intelligence\u00bb<\/strong>. This concept suggests that robots should not only move or carry out commands, but also \u00abthinking with the body\u00bb<\/strong>, integrating algorithms, sensors, data processing and real-time motion control. The result: more adaptive machines, capable of interacting more naturally with their environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

A rapidly expanding industry<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

According to Bank of America Global Research<\/strong>, this industry will make progress in three stages<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    2025-2027<\/strong>: integration into factories and logistics<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    2028-2034<\/strong>: arrival at the sector commercial and educational<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    2035 and beyond<\/strong>: presence in households<\/strong>, with responsibilities for support and care<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The figures reflect this trend: it is estimated that in 2025<\/strong> will be delivered 18,000 units<\/strong> of humanoid robots, and that this number will grow until it reaches the million by 2030<\/strong>, exceeding the 10 million by 2035<\/strong>. The most optimistic forecasts predict as much as 3,000 million humanoid robots in use by 2060<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Chinese case: technology with a purpose<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

    In China, the sector is experiencing a real boom. The consultancy firm LeadeRobot<\/strong> believes that the humanoid robotics market could double by 2025<\/strong>, reaching 5.3 billion yuan<\/strong> (approximately 665 million euros<\/strong>). Several manufacturers, including UBTech<\/strong>, have announced plans to produce more than 1,000 units a year<\/strong> from 2025 onwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

    All of this forms part of a national strategy for industrial automation<\/strong>. The Chinese government sees robotics as a solution to structural challenges such as the labour shortage<\/strong>, the ageing population<\/strong> and the global trade tensions<\/strong>. In factories such as the one in Zeekr in Ningbo<\/strong>, robots are already taking over tasks that previously required highly specialised workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Marathon-running robots and real-world trials<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

    Beyond industrial settings, China is also committed to to highlight the progress being made in robotics<\/strong>. In April, Beijing organised a half-marathon<\/strong> in which the following took part 20 humanoid robots alongside 12,000 humans<\/strong>. Only six of them crossed the finish line, but the event sent a clear message: Robots are here to stay<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Furthermore, the authorities have asked car manufacturers to hire robots<\/strong>, test them in real-world environments, record videos and share the results with the government. The aim is to collect data that will enable refine the designs<\/strong> and speed up their integration.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A path fraught with obstacles, but with a clear direction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

    Despite the progress made, the sector still faces major challenges<\/strong>: high production costs<\/strong>, reliance on foreign chips<\/strong> y technological bottlenecks<\/strong>. However, partnerships such as that between Huawei and UBTech demonstrate a clear commitment to to lead the international race<\/strong> within this new paradigm.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The future of humanoid robots no longer seems like something out of science fiction. If the predictions come true, they will be as much a part of our lives as smartphones or voice assistants are today. And everything suggests that China wants to be at the heart of that change<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
