On May 25, Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock announced that the company’s latest humanoid robot, Figure 03, has achieved bipedal walking, claiming it integrates the most advanced hardware system seen to date. The previous model, Figure 02, is currently undergoing testing at a BMW factory, recently completing 20 consecutive hours of operation. As early as March 2025, Figure revealed that the design of the third-generation model had been finalized, with a focus on cost control and mass production scalability. The company plans to use injection molding and diecasting technologies. As of now, a full video of Figure 03 walking has not been released.
COMPUTEX 2025 was convened for four days in mid-May, and invited 1,400 suppliers to showcase how AI is currently actuating industrial upgrades. The grand event focused on “AI NEXT” as this year’s topic as a continuance from “Connecting AI” of 2024, and carried on with the concentration on products related to AI, where various applications that came to fruition on-site also symbolize how the industry is marching towards a new era of AI empowerment.
On April 26, 2025, Chery, in collaboration with the AiMOGA team, completed the global delivery of the first batch of 220 AiMOGA humanoid robots, marking the first delivery of humanoid robots by an automotive company. In March, Chery’s humanoid robots had already been deployed in Malaysia to work in automotive 4S dealerships. Chery announced a three-step strategic plan for the AiMOGA robots: initially focusing on in-depth applications in 4S dealership scenarios to bring intelligent transformation to car sales; subsequently expanding into public service sectors such as supermarkets and government services to enhance service efficiency and quality; and ultimately entering the household service domain as intelligent home companions.
Robotics Summit & Expo is a premier event in North America dedicated to the exploration of commercial robotic technology. It took place from late April to early May 2025 in Boston, USA, bringing together over 200 companies to showcase their latest advancements in the design, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of robots. The event covered a wide array of industries and applications, including industrial automation, medical robotics, AMRs/AGVs, autonomous navigation, AI-driven control systems, and humanoid robots.
On April 1, 2025, Leju Robotics announced that its Kuavo humanoid robots have been deployed in batches at the FAW Hongqi factory, where they are officially taking on logistics sorting and handling tasks. In June 2024, Leju’s Kuavo robot made its debut at the Huawei Developer Conference and was integrated with Huawei’s Pangu large model. In November 2024, Huawei's Global Embodied Intelligence Innovation Center officially began operations, with Leju Robotics among 16 humanoid robot body and supply chain companies signing on as participants. Notably, Leju is currently the only humanoid robot body manufacturer in Huawei’s supply chain.
In mid-March 2025, Figure AI officially announced its first large-scale humanoid robot production facility, dubbed “Bot Q.” The company’s development team initiated this project after examining the manufacturing processes of the Figure 02 robot, where they identified that component count, manufacturing processes, and production techniques significantly affected assembly time. To address these challenges, the development team focused on streamlining the number of components, reducing tolerances, and enabling flexible production. The team also collaborated with external suppliers in the development of components and parts. This, in turn, led to the construction of this smart factory designed for the assembly and testing of humanoid robots.

In recent months, local governments across China have actively introduced policies to support the development of embodied intelligence. From late February to March 2025, cities such as Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen have released detailed three-year industry roadmaps, setting clear objectives for technological advancement and commercialization. Notably, embodied intelligence and intelligent robots were mentioned for the first time in the 2025 Government Work Report, presented during this year’s National Two Sessions.
According to TrendForce, these provincial and municipal policies not only define key technological breakthroughs and commercialization strategies but also accelerate real-world adoption through financial incentives and targeted application scenarios. With strong policy backing, the industry is poised for rapid growth. As technology advances and practical use cases expand, embodied intelligence is expected to play a transformative role in sectors such as intelligent manufacturing, healthcare, and household services. Furthermore, the coordinated efforts of regional policies will drive the development of a robust industrial ecosystem, strengthening China’s global competitiveness in embodied intelligence.
