China Scales Up AI Humanoid Robot Training with Massive State Support

  • China is scaling up training and deployment of AI-powered humanoid robots across factories and daily tasks as of 2025 in cities like Shanghai.
  • This growth is driven by labor shortages expected to reach 30 million manufacturing jobs by 2025, an aging population, and government funding exceeding $20 billion.
  • Chinese startups like AgiBot, MagicLab, and CASBOT use AI models such as DeepSeek and Alibaba's Qwen to develop robots performing assembly, inspection, and service tasks.
  • Robots working up to 17 hours daily at data-collection sites generate AI training data, while some models sell for as low as 88,000 yuan , lowering adoption barriers.
  • This large-scale push suggests China aims to become the global leader in humanoid robotics, addressing workforce challenges and boosting industrial efficiency by 2027.
