How humanoid robots adapt to the development needs of human society and contribute to the progress of human civilization is a more spectacular and challenging "man-machine co running" marathon. In the new track of humanoid robots, China is a latecomer, but has the advantage and potential to catch up. Recently, the world's first "man-machine co running" half marathon was completed in Beijing. The competition between 20 humanoid robot teams and human athletes has attracted high attention both domestically and internationally. This is an extreme test of humanoid robots in China. On a journey of about 21 kilometers, the precision joints of the humanoid robot will move about 250000 times, fully demonstrating its advantages and disadvantages in terms of energy efficiency, heat dissipation capacity, and motion algorithms. Although the motion performance of many humanoid robot products is not perfect, these "running out" problems will become the starting point for further technological improvement. From a broader perspective, as a product of the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology and robotics technology, how humanoid robots can adapt to the development needs of human society and contribute to the progress of human civilization is a more spectacular and challenging marathon of "human-machine co running". The "Navigator 2" humanoid robot launched by the Zhejiang Province Humanoid Robot Innovation Center can freely communicate with people and help them move things; Many companies' humanoid robots are competing to leave the laboratory, intern in factories, and participate in production processes... From the signs, humanoid robots are expected to give birth to another disruptive innovation and trigger a comprehensive leap in productivity. In the new field of humanoid robots, China is a latecomer, but it has the advantage and potential to catch up from behind. The advantage comes from a complete industrial system. Humanoid robots have hundreds of components from head to toe, and China's complete industrial system can ensure that research and development experiments are interconnected. Currently, China's industrial robot patent reserves have exceeded 190000, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the global total. Chinese companies account for over one-third of the top 100 humanoid robots in the world. Research institutes, science and technology innovation enterprises, and manufacturing industry leaders have united and cooperated in core technology research and development, as well as blossomed in technological routes, forming a good industrial environment and innovation ecology. The advantage comes from a large talent pool. China has a world-class team of researchers and engineers, with an annual number of engineering graduates exceeding one-third of the total number of engineering graduates in the world. In the development process of humanoid robots, engineers from various fields demonstrate their abilities, not only to overcome bottleneck technology, but also to improve processes and reduce costs. Deploying innovation chains around the industrial chain and laying out the industrial chain around the innovation chain will inevitably gather the joint force to promote the industrialization development of new technologies and applications of humanoid robots. The advantage also stems from the super large market, creating complex application scenarios and diverse landing needs. The Research Report on Humanoid Robot Industry predicts that the market size of Chinese humanoid robots will be about 5.3 billion yuan in 2025, doubling year-on-year. Whether undertaking tasks such as handling, sorting, and assembly on assembly lines, or becoming intelligent tour guides in museums and exhibition halls; Whether it's taking on household chores indoors or troubleshooting power grid faults in deep mountains and forests... It can be foreseen that with technological progress and cost reduction, the potential of the humanoid robot market will be further released, injecting new impetus into economic and social development. It should also be noted that the human body structure is precise and complex, and building a mature humanoid robot is not an easy task. In particular, there are still some weak links in the humanoid robot industry chain in China, mainly focusing on the upstream core parts and software system development. To enhance the comprehensive performance and system stability of humanoid robots, it is necessary to further strengthen independent innovation in software development, process design, material parts, and other aspects. During the 20th collective study session of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "as a new technology and field, policy support is very important for artificial intelligence." The key to promoting the accelerated development of embodied intelligence, especially the humanoid robot industry, is to better integrate capable governments and efficient markets. At present, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places have introduced policy measures to promote the development of the humanoid robot industry. Strengthening industrial policy guidance, promoting the coordinated development of industry, university and research, upstream and downstream, and all links, and deeply implementing the promotion and application of "robot+" will continue to improve China's humanoid robot industry innovation and product supply capacity. As early as over 80 years ago, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov proposed the "Three Principles of Robotics" that robots must not harm humans, obey human commands, and protect themselves, exploring the ethical dilemmas brought about by robots. With the innovative development of technology, science fiction plots continue to shine into reality, and our understanding of humanoid robots is also constantly deepening. To create more intelligent humanoid robot products and expand the ethical space of human-machine symbiosis, in this marathon of "human-machine co running", we will definitely achieve better results and run towards a better future.
