At the 7th Beijing Zhiyuan Conference, Wang Xingxing, CEO of Unitree Robotics, publicly stated that the company's ultimate goal has always been to enable robots to "work" – whether in household scenarios or industrial applications. Dancing and fighting are merely "training methods" and technical verifications on the path to achieving this goal.
"We hope to empower human-like robots through AI, enabling them to complete various full-body actions and ultimately handle practical tasks such as serving tea, pouring water, doing laundry, and cooking," said Wang Xingxing. He pointed out that currently, by showcasing embodied intelligence through fighting and dancing, Unitree Robotics is actually training and testing the robot's control over complex actions. "These seemingly entertaining forms are actually preparing for future service scenarios."
He also revealed that humanoid robots have already gained initial scale in the commercial leasing market, with related businesses being "highly popular." Some orders come from events such as exhibitions and press conferences, generating significant industrial value.
Wang Xingxing stated that Unitree Robotics will continue to participate in competitions and performances while firmly moving toward the goal of "doing real work," accelerating the practical implementation of robots.
