Chief scientist Jiang Lei of the National Local Joint Innovation Center for Humanoid Robots stated that, firstly, the cost has been greatly reduced, and the combination of physical intelligence with core components has lowered the cost of robots, improving the level of robot intelligence. Second, there has been a breakthrough in "big and small brain" technology, with enterprises widely applying large-scale or VLA physical intelligence technology this year, enabling robots to have generalization capabilities, be interactive, and respond to interference. Third, there is a focus on training grounds and datasets, with physical intelligence datasets needing to include multi-modal, force, environmental lighting, and other information. Enterprises have generally proposed building training grounds and datasets to address the issue of missing data.
