US EditionChina Scales Up AI Humanoid Robot Training with Massive State Support
- Chinese startups are deploying hundreds of AI-powered humanoid robots in factories since 2023 to address labor shortages and support manufacturing across China.
- This initiative builds on a 2023 government strategy aimed at ramping up large-scale production of humanoid robots by the year 2025, supported by more than $20 billion in investments and a $137 billion fund dedicated to AI and robotics development.
- The robots operate up to 17 hours daily on tasks like folding clothes and sandwich making, generating large datasets to train AI models such as DeepSeek and Alibaba's Qwen.
- China manufactures nearly all the parts needed for humanoid robots and leads the global market, allowing certain startups to offer robots priced as low as 88,000 yuan .
- This scaling of humanoid robots suggests China aims to mitigate a projected 30 million worker deficit by 2025 and maintain global manufacturing leadership through AI integration.
