China's Ambitious Push Toward a Connected Robotics Ecosystem
While individual companies innovate, China is orchestrating a sweeping initiative to establish a national embodied intelligence ecosystem. At the recent 2025 World Robot Conference in Beijing, officials unveiled plans to transition from isolated robot applications to a connected, AI-driven infrastructure across industries.
They launched the Embodied Intelligence Professional Committee, fostering collaboration among government agencies, academia, and industry stakeholders. This collaboration aims to accelerate deploying fleets of coordinated, intelligent machines in manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and homes—essentially creating a “nervous system” for the economy.
