Guiding Opinions on the Innovative Development of Humanoid Robots

A 2023 MIIT policy document, China's first industrial policy specifically for humanoid robots.

The “Guiding Opinions on the Innovative Development of Humanoid Robots” was issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in October 2023, China's first industrial-policy document dedicated specifically to humanoid robots. It calls for establishing an initial innovation system by 2025, achieving breakthroughs in key technologies described as “brain, cerebellum, and limbs,” ensuring safe and reliable supply of core components, and reaching batch production of complete robots, with the goal by 2027 of building a safe and reliable supply chain and industrial chain. The “brain–cerebellum” division of labor commonly used in the industry became further popularized because of this document. Since then, many local humanoid-robot policies and innovation-center construction projects have cited it as their basis.

ExampleThe document calls for using key technologies such as “brain, cerebellum, and limbs” as breakthrough points to drive batch production of complete robots.
