en.Wedoany.com Reported - In early April 2026, the embodied intelligence industry chain witnessed multiple industrial advancements. Zhiyuan Robot held an "AI Release Week" from April 7th to 11th, announcing several breakthroughs in key technologies consecutively. Concurrently, China's first national testing standard for embodied intelligence was officially released. Following a new round of financing, multiple embodied intelligence companies in Shenzhen and other regions have reached valuations at the tens of billions of RMB level.
According to official information released by Zhiyuan Robot, during the "AI Release Week," the company showcased its new-generation embodied intelligent operation model, GO-2. This model improved the success rate of complex object grasping to 92%, and task execution efficiency increased by 40% compared to the previous generation. Zhiyuan Robot also released a dexterous hand manipulation algorithm for industrial scenarios, capable of achieving sub-millimeter precision assembly. The company simultaneously announced that its mass production factory located in Shanghai's Lingang area has entered the equipment debugging phase. With a planned annual capacity of 5,000 units, production is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2026.
The China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI) released the "Specification for Performance Testing and Evaluation of Embodied Intelligent Robots" on April 8th. This is the world's first national-level testing standard specifically for embodied intelligence. The specification covers 12 core indicators, including motion control accuracy, environmental perception capability, and human-machine interaction safety, providing a unified basis for evaluating industry product performance. According to the CESI announcement, the specification was jointly drafted by over 30 industry, academic, and research institutions, including companies like Zhiyuan Robot, UBTECH, and Xiaomi.
Information from the Shenzhen Municipal Government's official website shows that in the first quarter of 2026, Shenzhen added three unicorn companies in the field of embodied intelligence: Stardust Intelligence, Paxini Perception Technology, and Zhuji Dynamics. Following their latest financing rounds, all three companies have valuations exceeding $1 billion. Stardust Intelligence focuses on the research and development of bionic robot joint modules, with its products already supplied to multiple OEM manufacturers. Paxini Perception Technology achieved a breakthrough in mass production of tactile sensors, reaching a monthly capacity of 20,000 units. Zhuji Dynamics completed its Series B financing, with funds to be used for expanding its quadruped robot production line.
The localization process for core upstream components in the industry chain is accelerating. According to data from the China Robot Industry Alliance (CRIA), in the first quarter of 2026, the market share of domestically produced harmonic reducers in China reached 41%, an increase of 8 percentage points compared to the same period in 2025. The localization rate for coreless motors surpassed 60%, and the localization rate for six-axis force sensors reached 35%. Multiple servo system suppliers indicated that their order volume for the second quarter of 2026 has already exceeded the total for the entire year of 2025.
