Wei Wei, Director of the Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at a State Council Information Office press conference that domestic humanoid robot output in the first half of this year exceeded 40,000 units, with more than 400 types of complete-machine products, and that total annual output is expected to surpass 100,000 units; quadruped robots hold more than 70% of global sales share, humanoid robots accounted for 97% of global output in the first half of the year, and deployment has been validated in more than 300 scenarios. The article further reviews offline stores and deployment cases of brands including Unitree Robotics, AgiBot, Galbot, and UBTECH, and notes that household adoption is still constrained by specialized product capabilities, an incomplete after-sales system, and immature insurance solutions.
