At the recent 2026 Yabuli Forum Innovation Annual Conference, embodied intelligence once again became a focal point. Chen Li, co-founder of UTech, stated in his speech that the intelligent robotics industry is on the verge of a breakthrough, and within the next two to five years, there will be critical technological and industrial advancements.
Chen Li summarized the landmark moment when embodied intelligence reaches a "ChatGPT moment" similar to the AI field as two "80%": that is, robots can accurately and smoothly complete about 80% of tasks in 80% of unfamiliar scenarios through voice or text instructions. He predicts that with the realization of this goal, embodied intelligent robots are expected to lead a new wave of consumer trends around 2030, and have a profound impact on social productivity and labor structure.
To realize this vision, Chen Li emphasized three core pillars required for industry development: First, building a unified end-to-end robotic model, which is key to giving robots a "brain." Second, achieving lower costs and longer lifespans for hardware, while cooperating with large-scale mass production to meet market penetration needs. Finally, low-cost, scalable computing power to provide a foundational guarantee for complex decision-making in robots.
As an active explorer in the industry, UTech has made significant progress in autonomous control of robot hardware. The raw material supply for its core joint motors has been fully independently controlled. Recently, the company has also been actively involved, not only iterating on technology for generating arbitrary robot movements and autonomous combat, but also clearly planning to release a "General Humanoid Robot Embodied Basic Model" within the next three years.
From an industry perspective, UTech has further deepened the integration of research and application by establishing a joint laboratory for embodied intelligence with universities. As technical barriers are gradually broken through, embodied intelligence is moving from the laboratory to actual productivity, accelerating changes in our production and lifestyle.
