Humanoid robots are the product of the deep integration of artificial intelligence and robotics. As technology rapidly evolves and products continue to iterate, humanoid robots are gradually moving from laboratory settings to real-world applications. At the 2025 World Robot Conference, the China Electronics Society released the “Top Ten Potential Application Scenarios for Humanoid Robots,” outlining a future where humanoid robots are applied across various industries.First is general operation for loading, unloading, and transferring in industrial settings. In industrial production and logistics warehouses, there are issues such as high repetition, heavy labor intensity, and limited efficiency in low-precision loading and unloading, as well as lightweight material handling. Humanoid robots, with their flexible arms, precise grasping capabilities, and mobility, can collaborate with automated production line control systems and warehouse management systems to complete loading and unloading tasks in sync with production rhythms, effectively improving the smoothness of production lines and logistics efficiency.Second is sorting and material preparation in automotive manufacturing. Automotive manufacturing involves a wide variety of components, and traditional manual sorting and material preparation can lead to errors and low efficiency. Humanoid robots can distinguish different types of materials through precise visual recognition systems, use flexible robotic arms for grabbing and placing, and connect with material management systems to obtain demand information, accurately configuring materials to shelves and warehouses, optimizing production processes.Third is quality inspection of materials in 3C manufacturing. The production scale of 3C products is large and updates are frequent, requiring high speed and accuracy in quality inspection. Manual quality inspection has shortcomings in efficiency and accuracy. Humanoid robots equipped with high-precision visual sensors and intelligent detection algorithms can detect appearance defects and dimensional accuracy of materials, linking with production management systems to provide feedback, thereby enhancing product quality control levels.Fourth is polishing and grinding in shipbuilding. The environment for hull polishing and grinding in shipbuilding is harsh, and manual operations can affect worker health and quality stability. Humanoid robots can adapt to harsh environments and, with their powerful strength and precise motion control capabilities, complete polishing and grinding tasks, collaborating with design and production management systems to improve the quality of ship surface treatment.Fifth is inspection of petrochemical production lines. The environment in petrochemical production lines is hazardous, and manual inspections face challenges such as high safety risks and limitations in precision and frequency. Humanoid robots equipped with various sensors can monitor production line parameters in real-time, identify leaks and equipment anomalies, and collaborate with production monitoring and safety management systems to provide early warnings, ensuring production safety.Sixth is operations in power generation stations. The operational environment of power stations is dangerous, and manual operations carry high risks, making reliable monitoring in unattended power stations urgent. Humanoid robots can perform precise actions, operate buttons, and collect equipment data in real-time, working with automation control and scheduling systems to achieve remote operations, enhancing the stability and safety of power station operations.Seventh is emergency response and rescue in disaster situations. In emergency scenarios such as fires, floods, and hazardous chemical leaks, human rescue efforts face high risks and limited response efficiency. Humanoid robots can adapt to dangerous environments such as high temperatures, water, and toxic substances, equipped with smoke sensors, gas detectors, thermal imaging devices, and other equipment to monitor on-site conditions in real-time, assist in rescuing trapped individuals, deliver emergency supplies, and link with emergency command systems to provide on-site data feedback, supporting rescue decision-making and reducing the risk of casualties.Eighth is commercial service for guiding and welcoming guests. In commercial venues such as shopping malls, exhibition halls, and hotels, during peak visitor times, manual guiding, welcoming, and meal delivery services can suffer from insufficient reception and delayed efficiency. Humanoid robots, with their natural language interaction capabilities and friendly appearance, can provide services such as welcoming guests, guiding tours, and delivering meals to rooms, integrating with venue information systems and room management systems to enhance service experience and technological image.Ninth is home service for assistance, companionship, and daily care. The aging population has led to a shortage of nursing staff, and there are also needs for companionship for children, home cleaning, and daily assistance. Humanoid robots can provide comprehensive support with a gentle appearance and caring voice. In elderly care, they can offer assistance, medication reminders, and monitor the status of the elderly in real-time, responding to emergencies to alleviate the pressure on elderly care. In household assistance, they can handle repetitive tasks such as cleaning and organizing items, linking with smart home devices to enhance convenience. In companionship, they can engage in interactive games and storytelling activities with children, enhancing the happiness and warmth of family life.Tenth is precision operations in agricultural production. In agricultural production, tasks such as sowing and harvesting are labor-intensive and require meticulous management. Humanoid robots, with their flexible movement and grasping capabilities, can perform tasks such as lightweight crop harvesting, agricultural material handling, weeding, and precise spraying of pesticides, using sensors to monitor land conditions and pests, helping to improve production efficiency and precision levels.
