Beijing unveils embodied AI robot plan: 5 world-class humanoid firms, 200k units/year by 2028
智东西 · wechat · 2026-11-12
Beijing's economy and IT bureau released an Embodied Intelligence Robot Industry Action Plan (2026–2028), targeting at least 5 internationally competitive humanoid robot makers and 10 domestic leaders by 2028, with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region accounting for 25% of national capacity and 200k units/year of production in Beijing.
Key targets include adding over 50,000 PFlops of embodied-AI-dedicated compute, collecting 1M+ hours of high-quality data across 100+ real-world scenarios, and building the world's first real-scenario embodied-model testbed and authoritative evaluation system. Component-level specs cover 60 Nm/kg motors, sub-¥10k dexterous hands, and 350 Wh/kg batteries.
The plan includes dedicated funding policies and hukou/housing/education support for scarce robotics talent, valid through December 2028.
