"the programmer can't catch up with the code he wrote," "the robot runs faster than the man." with beijing 2026, a human robot half-way out of the marathon, the public again felt the glamour of intelligence and looked forward to its true entry into productive life。
When will intelligence become industrial? What are the prospects for applications? What are the problems of productization? What would be the role of intellectual property rights in industrialization? Recently, under the guidance of the china institute for technology entrepreneurship, the china institute for technology entrepreneurship's science and technology transfer branch, the qinghua university institute of industrial innovation and finance, the china society of physics's professional committee on magnetism, and the fourth high-level forum on the transformation of scientific and technological results of dialogue, hosted by the beijing corporation for the management of intellectual property rights, was held at the institute of physics of the chinese academy of sciences. The institute's specialists, representatives of core industrial-chain enterprises, and representatives of technology transfer and investment finance institutions met to discuss scientific and technological innovation, the transformation of results and regional synergies in specialized fields such as smart robots, artificial intelligence, etc., with a view to promoting the in-depth integration of research and studies in the field of intellectual competence, and the promotion of high-quality industrial development。
The industry has great prospects
What's smart? Generally speaking, it refers to physical intelligence, which enables the brain of a machine to assist in decision-making, thus allowing the body to rapidly respond to changes in the external environment, at the heart of which lies the deep integration of physical equipment with intelligent decision-making。
This year, for the first time in the report on the work of the government, the smart part of intensifying the growth of new dynamic energy sets out the establishment of future industrial input growth mechanisms for future industries such as bio-manufacturing, quantum technology, intelligence and 6g。
“at the moment, the new technological revolution overlaps with industrial change, with smart and human-shaped robots moving from science fiction to reality, and core technologies, such as permanent magnetic advances, a new generation of processors, and the integration of ai with the international committee of the red cross (ic), are accelerating the breakthrough, and new forms of business in the intelligent economy are emerging. “the moderator of the forum, executive director of the supporting unit for silk road innovation, and zhao xinjiang, member of the international academy of eurasian sciences. The former vice-president of the chinese academy of sciences, yang pao-yu, considered that the development of new quality productivity was essential as a strategic area for the deep integration of artificial intelligence with the real economy。
Indeed, we have accumulated a number of innovations and intellectual property rights in related areas. According to the data, 61 per cent of the world's patents on artificial intelligence and approximately two thirds of the patents on robots are currently available. How can these outcomes accelerate productivity
According to liu, second-level researcher at the high technology research and development centre of the national natural science fund and president of the china robot summit, 2026 is the year of mass production of human-shaped robots, and smart people will form huge industries. Industrial and collaborative robots, medical and rehabilitation robots, humans and robots will be able to leapfrog and re-engineer in results。
The chief scientist of the national programme for research and development of robotics, director of the laboratory for mechanical industrial services, beijing university of aeronautics and astronautics, tao yong, has the same judgement: “with the technological power of smart, large polymodular models, etc., intelligent robots are moving from passive implementation to universal, and human robotics are developing rapidly in the country, forming a common technology platform, and small-scale commercialization is expected to take place by 2026.” in his view, the development of human robotics required addressing key technologies such as critical core parts, transport control systems, smart sensory controls and smart operations, while high performance simulation training platforms, large-scale data collection and training were important means of facilitating technological breakthroughs。
How can development prospects be such as to accelerate the formation of smart industries and product output? Qing liang, secretary of the party of the university of tsinghua school of finance and director of the institute of industrial innovation and finance of the university of tsinghua, stated that the transformation of scientific and technological results should be moved from the “last kilometre” of the innovation chain to the “first kilometre” of the industrial layout, from the very beginning of research and development to the needs, capital and talent of industry. Smart robots are typical areas for testing this capability, and their development depends on multi-technology synergies and chain-linking。
Promoting productization
The forum invited a group of smart r & d institutions and business representatives to share examples of the productization of technological results. A number of smart research institutions have begun to explore the transformation of technological achievements into real products. "having intelligence will be the core form of the next generation of universal artificial intelligence." the vice-president of government, galactic robotics, inc., in beijing, zhui, described the move from technology development to commercial scale. Its robots, which carry self-study models, are the first intelligent body in the world to achieve high-intensity tennis reality in an open dynamic environment. The galaxy capsule has been fully autonomous in over 30 cities and over 100 high-flow points for 7x24 hours; industrial heavy-loading robots have received thousands of orders to go deep into the heart of auto manufacturing and logistics storage。
Other enterprises have successfully applied smart technologies to consumer-grade products and have performed well in markets both at home and abroad. “the pursuit of grass-cutting robots is at the top of the european multinational market, with sales increasing by 255 per cent in march 2026.” the results of the presentation by u dung, president of the autobots in follow-up to weeding, resulted from their continued high level of investment in the development of core technologies and more than 400 patent applications have been submitted。
How can the transformation of results be accelerated and frontier technologies applied to products as early as possible? The u. D. School shares the path of conversion from technology to product for tracking grass-cutting robots. In the course of product development, the traditional focus-grassing robotics industry relies on artificial, borderline limitations, etc., and is developed in cooperation with universities and research institutes, with the use of technology such as integrated sensory systems in the area of intelligence and the ai autonomous decision-making hub. He explained that the next generation of smart robots to be sought would break the single weeding function, carry a mechanical arm to achieve leaf clearing, garbage collection, tool repositioning, automatic watering, fruit harvesting, etc., expand the companion functions of pet interaction, upgrade from a lawn mowing tool to a multi-mission smart yard housekeeper, and define the future direction of the yard robot。
In the process of transforming science and technology, solid intellectual property rights, the moat, are essential for success. “our intellectual property distribution, both domestically and overseas, constitutes our patent, the moat.” the university of wu said that technology formation products, especially when entering overseas markets, inevitably face patent challenges, but with the accumulation of bottom technologies and patents, businesses can largely cope easily and gain more consumer approval。
The sharing of guests in the field of smart industry, such as expert scholars, institutions of higher education and enterprises, has shown that it is no longer far from being possible for smart technologies to shape the picture of social integration of products into productive life, but it still requires the joint efforts of industry to accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in this field。
