BEIJING, March 1 (Xinhua) — China took a major step toward regulating its rapidly growing humanoid robotics industry on Saturday, unveiling the first national standards system covering the entire industrial chain and life cycle of humanoid robots and embodied artificial intelligence (AI).
The standards system, presented at the annual meeting on Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligence Standards (HEIS) in Beijing, consists of six key components: basic universality, brain-like and intelligent computing, limbs and components, complete machines and systems, application, and safety and ethics.
It was jointly developed by more than 120 research institutions, enterprises and industrial users under the leadership of the HEIS Technical Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China.
A committee representative explained that the brain-like intelligent computing standards cover critical specifications for the “brain and cerebellum” of embodied intelligence and intelligent computing, governing the entire data lifecycle as well as the model training and deployment processes.
Application standards govern the development, operation, and maintenance of humanoid robots in various scenarios, while safety and ethical standards cover the entire industrial life cycle, ensuring compliance with technological evolution, the committee added.
The standardization system comes after China's humanoid robot industry showed significant growth in 2025, supported by mid- and long-term plans from central and local governments that regard it as a strategic sector.
According to the Ministry of Industrial Policy of the People's Republic of China, last year was considered the first year of mass production of humanoid robots in China: more than 140 domestic manufacturers released more than 330 different models.
The new standardization system is expected to become an important benchmark for this rapidly evolving industry, promoting high-quality development through standardized technical requirements and safety protocols. -0-
