Chinese technology giants Meituan, Alibaba, Tencent, and JD.com are intensifying their efforts to enter the humanoid robot market by investing in embodied artificial intelligence (AI). JD.com has notably backed three robotics startups as part of its aggressive expansion in the embodied AI sector, extending its rivalry with Meituan beyond food delivery into robotics. These companies are focusing on integrating embodied AI directly into their business models rather than pursuing flashy demonstrations. The broader robotics industry is shifting from building industrial arms, drones, and autonomous mobile robots to making these machines autonomous, adaptable, and scalable. This trend highlights a strategic move by Chinese internet giants to leverage robotics and AI technologies to enhance their competitive positions in various sectors.
