Humanoid robots are moving from demonstrations to a plan for mass deployment: Shanghai names a figure in the thousands of machines for factories.
According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, citing Jiefang Daily, the plan is part of a new program for developing smart manufacturing, details of which were published by the Shanghai Commission of Economy and Informatization. Authorities want to move from experimental use of humanoid robots to broad use at the city's industrial enterprises. The initiative was presented on October 12 at the opening of the 26th China International Industry Fair in Shanghai and is now officially included in the city's strategy; the program was drawn up to implement decisions of a national conference on advanced industry in September.
