Harbin Institute of Technology, Zhao Jie: Paying attention to the spillover effects of humanoid robots as a technological foundation.

The 2026 Chinese humanoid robot ecology conference opened in Shanghai on April 17th. When discussing the core technology that determines the landing of humanoid robots, Zhao Jie, the director of the Harbin Institute of Technology Robot Research Institute, stated that the technological foundation is crucial for the development of national science and technology and emerging industries. Humanoid robots are the technological foundation leading the future development of technology. Breakthroughs in this technology will have a powerful spillover effect, driving the rapid development of a series of high-tech industries such as artificial intelligence, new materials, quantum computing, brain-computer interfaces, high-end manufacturing, information communication, Internet of Things, and big data.
