Large-scale businesses in the domestic robotics sector generated operational income of 165.5 billion yuan in the first half of 2026, a 24.5% increase from the previous year, according to recently published industry figures. The domestic robotics sector has begun a rapid track of development due to the acceleration of technical iteration. According to CCTV.com, technological advancements, the development of industrial chains, and scene implementation are all progressing concurrently, with embodied intelligence emerging as a key avenue for industrial upgrading.
Numerous locations have already established their own distinctive robot innovation processes. The power embodiment intelligent pilot verification platform has been constructed and implemented in Beijing, and several robots have completed hands-on training, including high-altitude live working, opening and shutting equipment boxes, and turning on and off. Nearly 300 different application scenarios have been created in the region, and many embodied intelligent robots have finished their first testing and practical usage. The entire process from design to prototype production is connected by Shenzhen’s “72-hour prototyping cycle” for robots. According to CCTV.com, businesses may achieve a high degree of efficiency in the industrial chain collaboration by finishing the full process—from design to 3D printed prototype—in as little as three days.
The technological base has been strengthened by the accumulation of inventive patents. China now has the most robot patents worldwide, and by 2024, domestic robot patent applications are predicted to make up almost two-thirds of the total worldwide. Aside from whole machine goods, key parts like intelligent controllers, high-performance servo drives, and precision reducers have essentially attained autonomous control. Looking back at the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the nation has developed 514 robotics-related “little giant” businesses that are specialised, refined, unique, and innovative, 19 manufacturing-related single champion businesses, and several local innovative businesses that have kept growing and expanding.

Additionally, the market side produced outstanding outcomes. Industrial robots sold under independent brands now account for more than 50% of the domestic market. China has maintained its position as the largest industrial robot market in the world for 13 years running. 71 significant sectors of the national economy have already seen the introduction of robot products. 2025 saw a 48.7% year-over-year growth in domestic industrial robot exports, which for the first time exceeded imports, making the country a net exporter of industrial robots. Domestically made robots are becoming more and more competitive on the global stage.
Embodied intelligent robots are going from exposition halls into real-world settings to perform activities at the application level. With robots performing a wide range of dangerous and challenging activities, special hazardous working circumstances have emerged as a priority landing track. Products are progressively advancing from small-scale testing to regular deployment and toward large-scale applications in complicated contexts like industrial production and residential services.

With the 14th Five-Year Plan integrating embodied intelligence into the main strategic blueprint for future industries, China is now taking use of the potential to create embodied intelligence. A specific initiative for the practical training of humanoid robots and embodied intelligence was introduced in June of this year by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The work objectives state that by the end of 2026, the nation will have refined over 100 high-value application scenarios, driving the implementation of tens of thousands of embodied intelligence products, further breaking through the technology, product, and scenario conversion chain, and encouraging the high-quality development of the robot industry.
