Yushu appears on the cover of Time magazine, and Wang Xingxing claims that the chatGPT time for robots will be 2 to 10 years According to Beating monitoring, Wang Xingxing, founder of Yushu Technology, and the manned mecha GD01 appeared on the cover of the August 17th issue of Time magazine. This is also Wang Xingxing's first exclusive interview with international media. According to Time magazine, Yushu will ship over 5500 units by 2025, accounting for more than a quarter of the global humanoid robot market and ranking first in the world by shipment volume. Wang Xingxing estimates that humanoid robots are still 2 to 10 years away from the 'ChatGPT moment'. The threshold he set is that robots can complete 80% of voice commands in 80% of unfamiliar environments. Only after crossing this line can it be truly commercialized on a large scale. The gap is still very obvious now. When humanoid robots handle general tasks such as container stacking and handling, their efficiency is only 30% to 50% of that of humans. Currently, only 9% of Yushu's sales directly enter the industrial scene, while 74% are still sold to universities, research institutions, and individual developers. Yushu has already achieved large-scale shipment of robot hardware. The real bottleneck in the industry is still the "brain" of robots: machines can run, flip their heads, and perform according to scripts, but even in unfamiliar environments, it is still difficult to understand instructions and complete tasks stably.
