Humanoid robot manufacturers in the US and China are developing pre-trained datasets and new training architectures to enable humanoid robots to adapt to a wider range of applications.
This bulletin covers CSP and OEM trends; North CSPs expand AI buildout, China faces headwinds and uncertain demand.
A "capital + data + materials/components" framework signifies China's effort to comprehensively strengthen its humanoid robot industry's dominance across funding, technology, and the supply chain. This overall approach is expected to accelerate the transition of the Chinese humanoid robot industry from achieving isolated breakthroughs to sustaining systematic development.
AI servers remain higher than general-purpose servers regarding shipment dynamics among ODMs in 2H25, thus triggering growths for liquid-cooling suppliers. Liquid-cooling solutions are likely to penetrate the cloud market continuously, with focuses placed on cold plates and dividers. Supply chain players are cultivating their partnerships with major US CSPs to stabilize shipment and upgrades. Growth momentum would mostly stem from expanded deployments among CSPs and high-power servers.
