                            Nvidia's Vice President of Omniverse and Simulation Technology: China's manufacturing base is crucial to the development of the robotics industry
                        
                            Rev Lebaredian, Vice President of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA, believes that mechatronics technology differs from the technology of decades past. In the past, we primarily focused on binary information technology in the virtual digital space, while mechatronics technology is about the physical world. Its expertise covers how to manufacture products in the physical world, the technology behind materials, and component manufacturing. It also requires building an ecosystem that encompasses all the necessary elements to create durable, cost-effective, practical, fast, and powerful robots. No other country in the world possesses these capabilities like China. China's vast manufacturing base is crucial, not only enabling us to master the methods of manufacturing these robots, but also learning how to deploy them and drawing lessons from this deployment process to improve the next generation of products.

                            Wang Xingxing of Yushu Technology: The ChatGPT era for humanoid robots is expected to arrive in 1-2 years.
                        
                            On the morning of August 9th, Yushu Technology founder Wang Xingxing delivered a keynote speech at the 2025 World Robotics Conference Industry Development Forum. He stated that, if all goes well, humanoid robots could achieve ChatGPT in one to two years, or two to three years, and at the latest, three to five years. Wang Xingxing believes that the focus of intelligent robotics technology over the next two to five years will be on unifying end-to-end intelligent robot models, developing lower-cost, longer-lasting hardware, enabling ultra-high-volume manufacturing, and low-cost, large-scale computing power.

                            Wang Xingxing of Yushu Technology: The most critical challenge for intelligent robots now and in the future is the "large-scale model of embodied intelligent robots"
                        
                            From August 8th to 12th, the 2025 World Robotics Conference was held in Yizhuang, Beijing. In his keynote address, Yushu Technology CEO Wang Xingxing stated that the robotics industry has experienced astonishing growth this year, but the most critical challenge for intelligent robots today and in the future is the "large-scale embodied intelligent robot model." Model development remains slow, architectures are inconsistent, and no major breakthroughs have yet been achieved. For example, the development of large AI language models is still "1-3 years before the birth of ChatGPT." Wang Xingxing also shared the three key areas of focus for intelligent robotics technology over the next two to five years: 1. A unified, end-to-end intelligent robot large-scale model; 2. Lower-cost, longer-lasting hardware and ultra-large-scale mass production; and 3. Low-cost, large-scale computing power, primarily distributed.

                            Wang Xingxing of Yushu Technology: We can reach the ChatGPT moment of robots in just one or two years
                        
                            At the 2025 World Robot Conference, Yushu Technology CEO Wang Xingxing stated that robotic chat GPT moments are very likely to be realized in the next one to two years, or two to three years. At the very least, I estimate that the concept could be realized in three to five years. Everyone should keep an eye on it.

                            Yushu Wang Xingxing: People pay too much attention to data and not enough to models.
                        
                            At the World Robot Conference, Yushu CEO Wang Xingxing addressed the misunderstandings surrounding embodied ontology, questioning why it hasn't seen widespread adoption. He questioned whether the hardware is inadequate or the cost is high. The reality is that current hardware is adequate, but not great enough. He stated that there's currently relatively little focus on models, while there's a bit too much emphasis on data. The industry's biggest challenge right now is the sheer inadequacy of embodied AI. Large-scale robotic models are similar to the situation 1-3 years before ChatGPT's release: everyone has identified the direction and technical path, but no one has yet successfully implemented it.
