Robotic Humanoid Demonstrates High Success in Complex Tasks

A humanoid robot built in Shanchen, Guangdong, has showcased impressive capabilities after being trained on extensive embodied intelligence datasets. The machine, equipped with wheels and a robotic arm, can manipulate electrical switches inside cabinets and operate industrial valves—tasks that demand precision and coordination.

Performance tests reveal a success rate between 80 % and 90 % for these operations, underscoring the effectiveness of large‑scale video data in teaching robots to handle real‑world challenges.

The robot’s achievements reflect the broader momentum of China’s embodied AI sector, which now boasts more than 70 operational training centers and a pipeline of 40 additional sites. These facilities are fueling industrial clusters in the Yangtze River Delta, the Beijing‑Tianjin‑Hebei region, and the Pearl River Delta.

Lightwheel AI, a Beijing‑based company, contributes a massive data platform containing over 1.5 million hours of human video, a resource that powers the training of such advanced robotic systems.

Government authorities, led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, have rolled out a strategic plan targeting industrial, service, and specialized applications. The initiative seeks to create a full‑cycle ecosystem that links on‑site training, data collection, continuous product improvement, and large‑scale deployment, positioning China as a global leader in embodied AI by 2025.
