🇯🇵 1 in 3 Japanese companies are already using or thinking about deploying AI-powered robots, with automakers leading the charge. The driver is simple: Japan is running out of workers and robots are the plan. Japan just needs to hold off China and the U.S. first. They are giving Japan serious competition in the next generation of autonomous robots, and its old industrial giants don't have the edge they once did. Source: Reuters

“In 2024, Chinese factories installed roughly 300,000 new industrial robots. American factories installed 30,000. Today, there are now more than 2 million industrial robots working in Chinese factories. In the U.S., the number is one-fifth that,” says Rush Doshi, director of CFR’s China Strategy Initiative and assistant professor at Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service. “China is investing in the future, it’s pulling ahead in research publications and patent filings, and pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into the robotics sector.”

This has been more than two years in the making. With the help of ARTPARK - AI & Robotics Technology Park and generous funding from the government, we are setting up a new venture, Strider Robotics ( that focuses on legged robots for industrial inspection and logistics.

In a recent interview, Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, pointed out that China has three unique advantages in developing robots, and his insights have drawn widespread attention in the tech world. First, China has outstanding AI technology. With a large number of excellent AI researchers and continuous innovation, China has made remarkable achievements in AI algorithms, machine learning, and other aspects. These advancements lay a solid foundation for the intelligent development of robots. Second, China excels in mechatronics. The combination of mechanical and electrical technologies allows Chinese - made robots to have better physical performance, more precise movement control, and higher reliability, making them more competitive in the global market. Last but not least, China's huge manufacturing base provides broad application scenarios for robots. From large - scale industrial production lines to various service industries, robots can be widely deployed, which promotes the continuous improvement of robot technology through large - scale practical applications. With these three powerful advantages, China is set to play a leading role in the global robotics field. It's exciting to look forward to the brilliant future of China's robotics development. 新浪科技 #Robotics #NVIDIA #JensenHuang #AI #ArtificialIntelligence

On Tuesday, I testified before the House Homeland Security Committee on China's strides in robotics and AI. I warned that we lost solar, batteries, and EVs -- now we're at risk of losing robotics and AI. If that happens, it would irreversibly change the balance of power. Five points: 1️⃣ China aims to win the next industrial revolution. PRC leaders believe history is shaped by industrial revolutions. The first, steam power, made Britain dominant. The second and third, electrification and mass manufacturing, made America dominant. China is determined to win the fourth. 2️⃣ In robotics, China is already winning. In 2024, China installed 300,000 new industrial robots. America installed 30,000. China now has over 2 million robots in its factories — five times more than the US. A decade ago, it imported 75% of its robots. Today it makes 60% domestically. This year alone, China may spend $400 billion on industrial policy. The entire US CHIPS Act provided $50 billion across multiple years. If we fall behind here, U.S. reindustrialization becomes farfetched. 3️⃣ In AI, we're ahead — but selling off the advantage. China has more energy, more talent, and makes the edge devices. But America still leads because of chips, according to China's own AI companies. US chips are 4-5x better than China's today. We are debating whether to surrender that edge. 4️⃣ We are inviting risks of cyberespionage and catastrophic cyberattacks. PRC law requires its companies to cooperate with intelligence services and never disclose it. Today's robots carry LiDAR, microphones, and cameras — they are mobile surveillance platforms. But the bigger risk is cyberattack. We know China has compromised our power, gas, water, telecommunications, and transportation infrastructure in preparation for cyberattack. We cannot deploy robots in sensitive facilities from the very country targeting those facilities. 5️⃣ Here's what we must do. Extend ICTS rules to cover Chinese robots. Direct CISA to audit where they're deployed in critical infrastructure. Ban federal procurement of Chinese robotics and AI. Strengthen semiconductor export controls. Stop treating American AI companies with more regulatory scrutiny than Chinese ones. And build allied scale in robotics—a trading bloc with preferential terms for the members that can rival China's scale in in the sector. Thanks to @HomelandDemsIt and House Homeland GOP for the hearing on this topic, and grateful to join Michael Robbins and colleagues from Scale and Boston Dynamics for a great discussion.
