具身智能

China's hottest tech buzzword of 2025, 'embodied intelligence' refers to AI that doesn't just chat — it walks, grabs, and does things in the physical world, i.e. robots with a brain. After ChatGPT fever cooled slightly, Chinese VCs and engineers pivoted hard to humanoid robots and smart machinery, making this term the new 'metaverse' — except people actually believe in it this time. You'll hear it at startup pitches, government briefings, and from that one cousin who just pivoted his factory.

China's push for manufacturing dominance and aging-population concerns turbo-charged interest in physical AI robots in 2025. State policy documents, major tech firms like Huawei and Unitree, and a flood of VC money all coalesced around embodied AI as the next strategic frontier, positioning it as both an economic necessity and a geopolitical trump card against Western tech leadership.
