Jake Loosararian of Gecko Robotics says China has manufacturing prowess needed for AI buildout, but the U.S. retains a real world data edge which is an equally important component in deciding the overall winner of this global AI race.

The robotics industry is currently at an early stage. Humanoid robots have displayed their abilities in many fields, but they are still a long way off from touching every individual and reaching every household. The large-scale use of humanoids in households or factories is still beyond reach because the technology is not mature enough.

From a global conference to robotic games inside the National Stadium, Beijing becomes the world capital of robots from August 8 to 17. The event showcases China's extraordinary acceleration in this sector – from automated industrial arms to AI-powered humanoids.

This robotics wave showcases the new heights of China's intelligent manufacturing. The flourishing intelligent industry, led by robotic technology, has become a hallmark of technological innovation in the past decade.

Humanoid robot mall in Beijing will sell over 100 types of robots from up to 200 brands and features a robot-themed restaurant, as well as an entertainment zone.
