Beijing Targets 5 World-Class Humanoid Robot OEMs by 2028

The Beijing municipal government has issued the "Beijing Embodied AI Robotics Industry High-Quality Development Action Plan (2026–2028)," positioning embodied AI robotics as a key high-precision industry and a critical breakthrough for future industries. The plan covers the three-year period and sets a clear roadmap for accelerating high-quality industrial development. It reflects the city's systematic push to seize the high ground in future industries through enterprise cultivation, technology breakthroughs, regional coordination, and safety governance.

Under the plan, Beijing aims to cultivate at least five world-class and ten domestically leading humanoid robot OEMs by 2028. It also targets international first-class levels for embodied AI models, robot bodies, and key technologies. In the Jing-Jin-Ji region, whole-machine production capacity is set to account for 25% of the national total, while the supporting rate for key components should exceed 60%. These targets underscore Beijing's effort to build an integrated industrial ecosystem, from core components to complete robots, and to strengthen collaboration across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster. The plan also emphasizes building a complete industrial chain.

The plan also calls for Beijing to take the lead in building a scientific and effective safety governance system covering the full lifecycle with multi-department participation. The framework is expected to address safety risks across design, production, operation, and disposal, with coordinated oversight from multiple government departments. Ultimately, the city aims to become an international first-class source of embodied AI robotics technology and an industrial innovation highland.
