The founder of Chinese robotics startup Spirit AI expects significant advances in robot intelligence by 2027, as companies race to develop machines capable of understanding and responding to complex real-world environments.
The prediction comes as the robotics industry increasingly combines artificial intelligence with advanced hardware, aiming to create robots that can learn tasks, interact with people and operate with greater autonomy.
Spirit AI is among a growing group of Chinese technology companies working to improve the intelligence of robots. The company is focused on developing AI systems that can serve as the “brains” of robots, helping machines interpret information from their surroundings and make decisions.
The expected advances could accelerate the development of humanoid and other general-purpose robots for applications ranging from manufacturing and logistics to services and other everyday tasks.
However, significant technical challenges remain, including reliable perception, physical control, safety and the ability to operate effectively in unpredictable environments.
The race to develop more capable robot brains is becoming an increasingly important part of the broader global AI competition, with Chinese and U.S. companies investing heavily in both robotics hardware and the AI models needed to power future machines.
