In the "15th Five Year Plan" proposal, it is proposed to proactively layout future industries and promote embodied intelligence as a new economic growth point. This will further promote embodied intelligence from "laboratory technology" to "large-scale applications", allowing "intelligence with bodies" to enter ordinary life. What is embodied intelligence? Simply put, it is to equip artificial intelligence with a "body" and grow "flesh and blood", giving it the "strongest brain" and "flexible limbs". Unlike the familiar intelligent applications such as voice assistants and image recognition, embodied intelligence is an intelligent system with a physical carrier that can "perceive, make decisions, act, and provide feedback". It enables artificial intelligence to achieve a critical leap from "knowledge" to "action". Domestic artificial intelligence models such as DeepSeek have become popular and gained popularity; China has remained the world's largest industrial robot application market for 12 consecutive years, with industrial robot sales reaching 302000 units in the Chinese market by 2024; By 2024, the application scope of China's independent brand industrial robots has cumulatively covered 71 major industries in the national economy... Currently, although the development of China's embodied intelligence industry is in its infancy, it has a good foundation in the research and development of large models and robot manufacturing. What changes will AI bring when it has a "brain" and a "body"? From an industrial perspective, it is a "multiplier" that promotes the upgrading of the manufacturing industry. The embodied intelligent new product assists intelligent manufacturing, which is expected to improve production efficiency while driving iterative upgrades of key components such as sensors, precision motors, and control chips. From the perspective of people's livelihood, it is expected to solve a series of industry pain points. Nursing robots in nursing homes will reduce the burden on caregivers; Home service robots enter households to take care of people's daily lives; The delivery robots in the logistics system will continue to improve the efficiency of material circulation. In the global technological competition, embodied intelligence has become a new track of attention from all walks of life. Whoever masters the core technology will have the say in the future industry. From the release of the "Guiding Opinions on the Innovation and Development of Humanoid Robots" in 2023 to the inclusion of "embodied intelligence" in the government work report for the first time this year... Under policy promotion, as the most typical form of embodied intelligence, China's humanoid robots have accelerated their evolution and achieved key technological capabilities such as stable walking and dynamic running. The Development Research Center of the State Council has released a report predicting that the scale of China's embodied intelligence market is expected to reach 400 billion yuan by 2030 and exceed one trillion yuan by 2035, and will lead and drive the further leap of new quality productivity in multiple application fields such as transportation and logistics, industrial manufacturing, and commercial services. Looking ahead to the 15th Five Year Plan, China will promote the deep integration of the robotics industry with new technologies such as artificial intelligence, and accelerate technological innovation and iteration around the demand for embodied intelligence application scenarios. In the future, embodied intelligence will come to us, like smartphones, becoming the new "darling" of the digital economy. (New Society)
