With the rapid iteration of technology, delivery service robots and cooking robots are increasingly appearing in our lives, and these humanoid robots with appearances and actions closer to humans are frequently refreshing people's understanding of technology. As an industrial product with high integration and involving multiple cutting-edge technologies, what can humanoid robots do now? How long will it take to enter the lives of ordinary people? What bottlenecks need to be overcome for future widespread application? Technology giants are enthusiastic about humanoid robots. With the help of motion tracking systems, as the staff raises their arms, a silver black humanoid robot slowly lifts its right hand, opens its palm to catch a bottle of mineral water, clenches it tightly, and hands it over to the nearby staff before letting go. The whole process is smooth and natural, like a human interacting with peers. This is the testing scenario that the reporter saw at Leju (Shenzhen) Robot Technology Co., Ltd. The "Kuafu" high dynamic humanoid robot developed by the company weighs about 45 kilograms, is about 1.6 meters tall, has a maximum walking speed of 5 kilometers per hour, and can jump rapidly and continuously at a height of over 20 centimeters. It can achieve multi scenario intelligent connectivity applications through the open-source HarmonyOS operating system and has gradually been applied in scientific research, education, commercial services, and other fields. Humanoid robots, also known as humanoid robots or biomimetic robots, typically have features similar to human appearance such as a head, torso, arms, and legs, and possess certain mobility and perception abilities. The rapid development of Chinese humanoid robots has attracted the attention of the global scientific and technological community. Brett Adcock, the founder and CEO of Figure AI, an American humanoid robot star enterprise, once praised Leju Robot on social media. In recent years, technology giants around the world have continued to increase their efforts in artificial intelligence and intelligent connectivity, and breakthroughs and innovations have been made in the field of humanoid robots. At the 2025 International Consumer Electronics Show, technology giants including Nvidia showcased the latest developments in their humanoid robots, becoming one of the core highlights of the exhibition. The humanoid robot "Optimus Prime" developed by Tesla can now walk like a human, achieve natural turning and other abilities, and accurately transfer eggs between left and right hands. Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that by 2025, Tesla will have thousands of humanoid robots put into operation, and commercial production will begin in 2026. According to incomplete statistics from the Production Research Institute of Shenzhen New Strategic Media Co., Ltd., as of June 2024, there are over 160 humanoid robot manufacturing companies worldwide, with over 60 Chinese companies accounting for 37%, making it the country with the highest number of humanoid robot manufacturing companies in the world. The United States and Japan rank second and third, accounting for 19% and 11% respectively. At present, the mainstream humanoid robots in the market are expensive, with some even exceeding 500000 yuan. In order to allow more customers to experience the charm of humanoid robots, Yao Qiyuan, founder and marketing director of Shenzhen Zhongqing Robot Technology Co., Ltd., said that the company adheres to a high cost performance strategy and has launched the SE01 humanoid robot, which is priced at about $20000 to $30000 and mainly targets universities and research institutes. Currently, hundreds of units have been sold. What can humanoid robots do? In January 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and seven other departments issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting Future Industrial Innovation and Development", proposing to strengthen future high-end equipment, break through high-end equipment products such as humanoid robots, drive the industrialization of new technologies with complete machines, and create a globally leading high-end equipment system. Leng Xiaokun, Chairman of Leju Robotics, said that once the technology of humanoid robots stabilizes, "it can do everything humans do, and there is a lot of room for imagination." According to the International Robot Association's prediction, the compound annual growth rate of the global humanoid robot market size will reach as high as 71% from 2021 to 2030. The data released by the China Electronics Society also shows that by 2030, the market size of humanoid robots in China is expected to reach about 870 billion yuan. Tan Min, Chief Brand Officer of Ubiquitous, said that industrial manufacturing, commercial services, and home companionship are currently the three major application scenarios for humanoid robots. Humanoid robots have been preliminarily applied in commercial services and industrial manufacturing scenarios. "Ubiquitous is very optimistic about the continued landing and application of humanoid robots in intelligent manufacturing, commercial services, and home fields. It is expected that humanoid robots will enter thousands of households in the future and become a necessity for every household." A special report on the robotics industry by Zhongtai Securities pointed out that currently, humanoid robots have been experimentally applied in multiple fields such as home services, mall reception, and flexible manufacturing. In the future, the replacement of human labor by robots will begin in the flexible production process of intelligent manufacturing. The greatest significance of the application of humanoid robots in the industrial field is that enterprises do not need to mechanically transform production lines. We have found that there are still a large number of processes in the factory scene that rely on manual labor and cannot be solved by industrial robots. Humanoid robots can adapt 1:1 to existing production lines and can be put on duty without modification, "said Leng Xiaokun. Similar to human body and kinetic energy design, it means that humanoid robots are more likely to become participants in human social activities. Empowered by artificial intelligence technology, humanoid robots will have the ability to learn autonomously, think like humans, and to some extent, achieve communication and emotional companionship. Tan Min said that humanoid robots have significant potential in alleviating the crisis of population aging, especially in providing daily assistance, health monitoring, and emotional companionship. Humanoid robots can not only help elderly people complete simple daily tasks, but also monitor their physical condition in real time. The technological bottleneck still needs to be overcome, and humanoid robots still have a long way to go before large-scale production and application. Hiring humanoid robots to work in factories and supermarkets is still a trendy rather than absolutely affordable choice nowadays. For example, in the factory process, humanoid robots are still in the small-scale experimental stage, and only a few advanced factories have begun to explore their use in certain workflows. Industry insiders predict that it may take three to five years for more humanoid robots to enter the production line, while truly entering people's lives requires higher precision and safety, and the time required will be even longer. In addition, how to overcome technological bottlenecks and control costs reasonably has become the key to the mass production of humanoid robots. The humanoid robot, which integrates multiple disciplines such as mechanics, electronics, materials, computers, sensors, and control technology, has a highly complex industrial chain and many core technologies that urgently need to be improved. At present, the humanoid robot products of each enterprise show a high degree of customization tendency, lacking truly universal components, resulting in high manufacturing costs. When it comes to the future development of the humanoid robot industry, Tan Min believes that "patient capital" is crucial. He stated that as a cutting-edge technology, the development and commercialization of humanoid robots require long-term investment and continuous innovation. It is widely expected in the industry that 2025 to 2030 will be a critical period for humanoid robots to shift from "concept verification" to "large-scale commercial use". Yao Qiyuan suggests accelerating the implementation of standards related to humanoid robots, continuously opening up application scenarios, and allowing humanoid robots to be applied first. Leng Xiaokun believes that "compared to foreign countries, China has more diverse application scenarios that are conducive to the full training of humanoid robots. We look forward to policies, technology, and demand jointly promoting the development of the humanoid robot industry
