On the afternoon of September 18, the State Council Information Office held a series of themed press conferences on “High-Quality Completion of the 14th Five-Year Plan.” Minister of Science and Technology Yin Hejun answered reporters’ questions regarding the direction and achievements of China’s technological power construction over the next five years, systematically introducing significant progress made in key technology fields such as artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, aerospace engineering, and energy technology.
In the field of humanoid robot development, Yin Hejun stated that China has achieved breakthroughs in overall technology. Key technologies such as multimodal environmental perception and brain-cerebellum collaborative control models are continuously maturing, promoting the deep integration of humanoid robots with embodied intelligence technology. Currently, humanoid robots have been demonstrated in applications such as automotive manufacturing, logistics handling, and power inspection, laying a solid foundation for the future formation of a trillion-level industrial scale.
In the field of artificial intelligence, China is proactively laying out several cutting-edge technologies, including brain-computer interfaces, and actively exploring new opportunities. Yin Hejun revealed that a number of general large models have emerged domestically, reaching internationally advanced levels, with some models achieving over 95% accuracy in multiple benchmark tests, and creating over a hundred benchmark application scenarios in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and urban governance.
Significant technological achievements have also emerged intensively during the 14th Five-Year Plan period: the “Tiangong” space station has officially entered a normalized operational phase, marking the beginning of a long-term human presence in China’s space endeavors; the “Chang’e 6” mission successfully completed the first human lunar sample return from the far side of the moon; and the “Haidou 1” autonomous deep-sea remotely operated vehicle completed a 10,000-meter sea trial, showcasing China’s leap in deep-sea exploration and equipment technology.
In the fields of civilian technology and energy, China’s 5G communication technology has achieved large-scale commercial application, and the Beidou navigation system continues to provide high-precision services to global users. The C919 large passenger aircraft has successfully entered commercial operation, and the production and sales of new energy vehicles have ranked first in the world for several consecutive years. The development of the CR450 high-speed train continues to advance, further consolidating China’s world-leading position in high-speed rail technology. The world’s first fourth-generation nuclear power plant, the Shidao Bay Nuclear Power Plant, has officially commenced commercial operation, and ultra-high voltage transmission technology remains internationally leading, with photovoltaic and wind power installed capacity consistently ranking first in the world.
According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), it is predicted that by 2025, humanoid robots will achieve a scale of thousands in commercial service and special operations, with industrial manufacturing, logistics, and power inspection being the earliest application fields, and China is expected to play an important leading role in this area.
