AI² Robotics and Unitree appear at 2026 Yuelu Conference; Guo Yandong delivers "Physical AI" keynote

Guo Yandong, founder and CEO of AI² Robotics, delivered a keynote titled "Physical AI: From Intelligent Leap to Scaled Productivity" at the 2026 Yuelu Conference, appearing alongside Unitree as representatives of the robotics industry. Guo proposed that embodied intelligence must pursue coordinated development across models, hardware, and scenarios as a "trinity," and said AI² Robotics is advancing brain-inspired architecture research, which he claims can make robot task execution many times faster than OpenAI's GPT-6 while reducing reliance on cloud models and token calls.
