Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers are actively entering the humanoid robotics market, using their technological developments and production chains to create new autonomous solutions.
After the rapid development of the electric vehicle industry, Chinese companies are facing declining profitability and fierce competition, which is prompting them to diversify their businesses. Using “technology duplication” – shared components and autonomous control algorithms, they are introducing robots into production processes.
Thanks to government subsidies and dominance in the global supply chain, China is able to produce humanoid robots more cheaply than its competitors. For example, the H1 from Unitree costs $90 – less than half the cost of a similar Atlas by Boston Dynamics. Companies such as XPeng і GAC Group, are already integrating robots into their own production processes, and Nio expands research in this area.
Despite its technological advantages, China faces challenges in the fields of artificial intelligence and chips, where international companies such as Nvidia і TSMCHowever, the government initiative Robotics+ promotes the development of automation, which confirms China's desire to become a world leader in this field.
Chinese automakers have begun mass producing humanoids appeared first on Curiosity.
