Robots enter factories to "work," but why do bosses only dare let them "trial"?

At the China International Import Expo, robots have entered scenarios such as drug picking, depalletizing, sorting, handling, assembly, and teaching-free welding, but most are still in the "trial" stage, with only some scenarios deployed at scale. Apple HALO completed 360 single-task tests in 6 real environments without pre-built maps, with an average success rate of 91%; after GPT-6Astra was connected to different robot bodies, some tasks took from one or two minutes to more than 30 minutes or even an hour. Industry observers judge that the "ChatGPT moment" for embodied intelligence may arrive in the second half of 2027, and the turning point may appear separately by scenario such as retail pharmacies and industrial sorting.
