Why it matters in the plan

Robotics is named among the strategic emerging industries, while embodied intelligence is identified as an industry of the future and as one of the ten highlighted new tracks. Together, the terms point toward intelligence that can perceive and act in physical environments.

The plan’s framing connects models and data with real-world training, sensors, actuators, and intelligent equipment. It therefore covers both the industrial base and the future-facing research direction.

What the plan calls for

  • Advance industrial robotics and intelligent equipment.
  • Develop embodied-intelligence capabilities and application scenarios.
  • Connect artificial intelligence with sensors, actuators, and physical production environments.
