US Embodied AI Isn't Mature Either! PI: Why Should Chinese Companies Always Be the "Chinese Version of XX"? | RSS 2026
PI points out that US embodied AI technology is not yet mature, suggesting Chinese companies avoid blindly benchmarking against the "Chinese version of XX" label, and instead explore differentiated development paths to seize opportunities in the robotics field.
As a key form of interaction between artificial intelligence and the physical world, embodied AI is becoming a new frontier of technological competition. Discussions at RSS 2026 focused on the technological maturity and market positioning in this field, sparking industry reflection on development paths.
Industry observer PI believes that the US has not yet reached a fully mature stage in the field of embodied AI, and technical routes remain uncertain. This view challenges the conventional wisdom that Chinese enterprises must follow the US pace, providing a new perspective for local innovation.
Chinese embodied AI companies do not need to deliberately adopt the "Chinese version" label, but should leverage their supply chain advantages and application scenario needs to build unique technical barriers. Differentiated competition helps avoid homogenized competition and enhances core competitiveness.
The future development of embodied AI will rely more on validation in actual scenarios. The rich data and scenarios available to Chinese enterprises in fields such as manufacturing and services may become key advantages for surpassing pure technical imitation, pushing the industry into a stage of practical deployment.
