A September 14 People's Daily commentary from the World Robot Conference said embodied intelligence is becoming pragmatic: visitors place orders via a mini-program and robots autonomously complete the full cycle from acceptance to delivery; WuJie Power's robots serve drinks, clear desks and reset seats—a stark contrast to earlier backflip-and-dance demos. Business models are shifting from one-time hardware sales to "solution subscriptions" and iterative operations.
The "Global Robot Application Exploration Plan" (1,000 scenarios free to trial and co-develop each year), a world-model expert committee of the Chinese Institute of Electronics, and an open-source talent-certification system for humanoid robots form a "three-piece set" pushing China's embodied intelligence into a policy-driven phase of supply-demand matching and ecosystem building.
In parallel, at the September 11 State Council executive meeting on the compute network, China unveiled its "8+10+3" compute layout—eight national hubs, ten national clusters and three compute-electricity coordination regions—and achieved national integrated compute monitoring, meaning the "one network, one chessboard, one integration" pattern is basically formed and the threshold for using compute keeps falling.
