Part 2/9:
In an unprecedented move, China has recently inaugurated its first humanoid training base in Shanghai, designed to accommodate over 1,000 robots in simultaneous training sessions. This initiative aims to accelerate the use and commercialization of high-performance robots. By 2027, the facility is expected to further scale up its operations, allowing for the training of at least 1,000 humanoid robots at once.
This ambitious project signifies a dawn for humanoid robotics, potentially enabling machines to handle various tasks—ranging from advanced manufacturing processes to elder care services. This futuristic pursuit is driven by the need to maintain and enhance China’s competitive edge in global robotics and to address the challenges posed by an aging population.
