"When people think of AI today, they mostly think of AI chatbots or multimodal AI models, but these systems are built for the digital world. Ultimately, what people really want is to get AI into the physical world, perform actual tasks and help people. The core challenge at present is that the inputs and outputs of AI models do not align neatly with how robots execute tasks in the real world."

"It could happen as early as next year, or maybe the year after. Even in a slower scenario, it would likely take no more than about five years. I believe there is a very high probability of this, as we can already see the potential. Once we reach a real breakthrough of a 'ChatGPT moment' for AI robotics, the growth will be extremely rapid. We could potentially see a demand for robots reaching millions of units within the very first year."

Chinese robotics company Unitree Robotics unveiled its H2-X humanoid robot on Wednesday, demonstrating new real-world applications of embodied intelligence.
In a demonstration video released by the company, the 170-centimeter-tall robot performs demanding tasks such as lifting a car, pulling off flying kicks, and absorbing a 4-meter drop with ease.
The video highlights the robot's potential use in security and rescue scenarios, showcasing its potential even to fight off an armed attacker.
According to the developer, effective real-world deployment in these scenarios requires the robot to assess on-site situations and take appropriate actions independently.
Wang Xingxing, founder and CEO of Unitree, said the company is working to enhance both the robot's physical capabilities and its AI-driven decision-making abilities.
"When people think of AI today, they mostly think of AI chatbots or multimodal AI models, but these systems are built for the digital world. Ultimately, what people really want is to get AI into the physical world, perform actual tasks and help people. The core challenge at present is that the inputs and outputs of AI models do not align neatly with how robots execute tasks in the real world," said Wang.
At the 2026 World Physical AI Conference and Unitree Partner Ecosystem Conference on Thursday, Wang said the embodied intelligence could reach its "ChatGPT moment" as early as next year, when robots achieve a breakthrough in understanding and executing real-world tasks, pushing the industry into a new stage.
He urged the industry to expand manufacturing capacity and supporting infrastructure, noting that widespread deployment of robots in daily life and production will require millions of units as well as greater computing power and chips.
"It could happen as early as next year, or maybe the year after. Even in a slower scenario, it would likely take no more than about five years. I believe there is a very high probability of this, as we can already see the potential. Once we reach a real breakthrough of a 'ChatGPT moment' for AI robotics, the growth will be extremely rapid. We could potentially see a demand for robots reaching millions of units within the very first year," the CEO said.
Founded in 2016, Unitree has emerged as one of China's leading robotics firms, specializing in quadruped and humanoid robots and developing fully self-developed core components.
