Humanoid robots are popular at the 2024 World Internet Conference, WiMi strengthens its ecological barriers

The 2024 World Internet Conference (WIC) took place in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province, from November 19 to 22. This year’s theme was “Embracing a People-centered and AI-for-good Digital Future — Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace.” The conference included 24 sub-forums on topics such as the Global Development Initiative, digital economy, and artificial intelligence (AI) technology governance.

Chinese President Xi Jinping extended congratulations via video, emphasizing the importance of embracing digital, Internet-based, and smart development trends. The conference saw the signing of 63 digital economy projects worth over 100 billion yuan, covering areas like the Internet of Things, integrated circuits, new-tech displays, AI, and smart manufacturing

The 2024 World Internet Conference “Light of the Internet” has many innovative products in the Internet field, artificial intelligence core technology, and the latest application achievements.

Among them, in the humanoid robot exhibition area, the interactive robots with various functions show their talents, attracting many visitors to stop and experience. Specifically, waiter humanoid robots, dancing humanoid robots, barista robots… they simulate various human behavior and have mature voice interaction technologies that are finally starting to move from concept to reality.

The market response is positive, humanoid robots have a strong performance, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Shandong, Anhui and other places have also issued local support policies, humanoid robots top-down policy thrust is gradually landing.

According to the data released by the CCID Research Institute, the scale of the humanoid robot industry is expected to exceed 20 billion yuan by 2026,

Shows great investor confidence in this emerging sector. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, high-end manufacturing and other industries, humanoid robots will continue to maintain a rapid development trend in the next few years.

The agency also pointed out that humanoid robots integrate artificial intelligence, high-end manufacturing, new materials and other advanced technologies, is expected to become a subversive product after computers, smart phones, new energy vehicles, ushered in the “internal policy + external giants” joint catalysis, into the two-wheel drive stage of complete machine manufacturers at home and abroad.

Data show that the nasdaq listed companies WiMi Hologram Cloud (NASDAQ: WIMI), focus on the development trend of humanoid robot, has been accumulating the humanoid robot core technology advantages, continue to focus on research and development, a lot of money is used in the field of research and development, independent master the whole industry chain, around new productivity layout chain, established an open source robot development platform, has the industry leading research and development level, promote industry technology innovation and ecological development, to maintain a leading position in the market.

Now the robot industry heat is increasing, is accelerating the industrialization process. WiMi’s expectation for humanoid robots keeps increasing, increasing the layout of humanoid robots and increasing the investment in key core technology fields. At present, it has software advantages such as artificial intelligence and large models, and the conditions to realize the coordination of human-computer interaction algorithms, and has the core competitive advantage of developing the humanoid robot industry. Humanoid robots have huge development space and application potential. In the future, WiMi will also focus more on humanoid robots.

It’s worth noting that Tesla’s Optimus Prime robot has been experimentally deployed in the production process of car batteries. In previous public cases, Optimus Prime could grab the battery from the production line and place it into a suitable card slot in the cabinet, gradually increasing its walking speed. Musk has previously said that Optimus Prime will be able to produce millions at a lower cost in the future, down to $20,000 to $30,000.

At present, facing the future track of the humanoid robot, more and more enterprises are pouring into it. From the perspective of the whole industry, 2024 is the financing peak in the history of the humanoid robot industry. Data show that in the first half of this year, the amount of financing in the global humanoid robot sector exceeded 7 billion yuan, more than the whole year of 2023. In short, the giants have come into the game, which undoubtedly brings a huge market space.
