Athletics, football, free combat, cleaning services, mixed material sorting... Recently, the world's first humanoid robot sports meet successfully concluded in Beijing. Robots from all over the world competed on the same stage. Some incarnated Terra Cotta Warriors sang and danced, and some strove for the 100 meter obstacle race. The audience felt the surging vitality of scientific and technological innovation in a warm atmosphere. This is not only a technology grand event, but also a wonderful epitome of Beijing's continuous cultivation of innovation ecology and construction of an international science and technology innovation center. With an open attitude and pragmatic exploration, Beijing is transforming the concept of a "vibrant and innovative city" into a reality. A set of numbers intuitively displays the innovation density of Beijing's robotics industry. In 2024, the operating revenue of the robot industry in Beijing will increase by 50% year-on-year, supporting the formation of 200 innovative robot products in 12 categories and the basic formation of a high-end product system. At present, Beijing continues to make efforts from the demand side to promote scenario openness and scale application. In the fields of landscaping, education, water management, manufacturing, etc., a number of pilot units have been selected to sort out 18 types of application requirements, and more than 50 innovative product pilot applications have been collected and deployed. The overall robot industry in Beijing is in the first tier in China, especially in the emerging field of humanoid robots, which is in the leading camp domestically. ”Liang Hongjun, Deputy Director of the Intelligent Manufacturing and Equipment Industry Department of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, said that Beijing regards robots as the next disruptive product after computers, smartphones, and new energy vehicles, seizes the opportunities brought by the digital transformation, intelligent upgrading, and artificial intelligence empowerment of the manufacturing industry, promotes high-level innovation and development of the robot industry, and builds a robot innovation highland with international influence. In the world's first humanoid robot half marathon held in April this year, the outstanding performance of Matsudaira Power won widespread attention. Within one month after the competition, we received over 1000 orders with a total contract value exceeding 100 million yuan, "said Jiang Zheyuan, founder and chairman of Songyan Power (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. Cultivating an innovative ecosystem is not only a necessity for industrial upgrading, but also a source of urban vitality. With the consecutive hosting of the Humanoid Robot Half Horse, World Robot Conference, and World Humanoid Robot Games, Beijing has further opened up regional application scenarios, supporting the display and application of excellent robot products and services in various fields such as culture and tourism, commerce, sports, urban management, and public services. While supporting the innovation and industrial development of humanoid robot enterprises, it also enhances urban management service capabilities and continuously releases new consumer demands. Based on reality, rational planning, and forward-looking layout, we can fully stimulate the characteristics of the city. Yang Jun, member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Planning and Natural Resources, stated that Beijing strengthens planning guidance, stimulates the endogenous driving force of high-quality development in urban areas, coordinates spatial supply and development demand, coordinates resource elements and deployment timing, and innovates a new diversified and integrated urban landscape. For example, for science and technology innovation industry blocks, each district guarantees the development space of new generation information technology, biomedicine and other high-quality productive forces, and promotes the integration of industry and city. For commercial and business districts, each district optimizes new carriers and relies on special planning for commercial consumption space layout to promote the transformation and upgrading of key commercial districts and the landing of landmark consumption projects. Beijing covers an area of approximately 16410 square kilometers, with urban areas accounting for 20% of the total area, making it a key hub for industrial agglomeration and innovation. ”Yang Jun stated that currently, Beijing has established a planning transmission system from "city" to "district" and then to "street town", strengthening planning guidance for the differences and synergies of different circles, and proposing the goal of intensive, efficient, and coordinated development. Each district leverages its regional characteristics and development advantages to actively integrate into the new spatial pattern of the capital. Changping is a key development plain new city in the capital, which is not only a highland of technological innovation, but also an ecologically livable new city. ”Ni Na, member of the Standing Committee of Changping District Committee and Executive Deputy District Chief of Beijing, said that since the beginning of this year, Changping District has invested over 1 million square meters in high-quality spaces such as the Science and Technology Innovation High precision Achievement Transformation Base, and built a high standard rail micro center to promote the enhancement of regional industrial and commercial value. Industrial development resonates with urban planning, and technological breakthroughs complement daily life scenarios. From the lively competition at the Robot Games to the daily experience of robot scenes, from industrial agglomeration to new city exploration, Beijing is using vivid practices to showcase the breadth and warmth of the innovation ecosystem, making the "vibrant innovation city" a distinctive footnote to the development of the capital.
