6 reports · 5 sources

The State Administration for Market Regulation (Standardization Administration of China) approved and released the first batch of six national standards for humanoid robots, which will take effect on April 1, 2027. The six standards comprise the five recommended national standards in the "Technical Requirements for Humanoid Robots" series (GB/T 48317.1—2026 to GB/T 48317.5—2026, corresponding to general provisions, environmental perception, decision planning, motion control, and task operation, released on September 28, 2026) and the "Technical Specification for Humanoid Robot Simulation Testing Platforms"; they are administered by the National Technical Committee 591 on Robots (TC591) and executed by its Humanoid Robot Subcommittee (TC591/SC5). The standards set quantitative requirements for some performance aspects: maximum motion speed not exceeding 0.5 meters per second; success rate for grasping rigid objects must reach 90% or above, and for grasping easily deformable or easily damaged objects, 85% or above; force operations must reach 15 kilograms or above. Regarding drafting, the motion control part is led by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center; Tianchuang Robot participated in drafting the general provisions and task operation standards, and Yuejiang Robot participated in drafting the motion control and task operation standards; Yuejiang stated that real engineering data generated on production lines will be used in formulating the capability descriptions and verification requirements in the standards. The subsequent two items in the series, "positioning and navigation" and "human-robot interaction," are still in the public comment stage and have no implementation date yet.
