In August, Utrecht took down one-third of the body-robot bidding project.

Among these, the body-smart robots (including humanoid, quadruped and other products) appeared in about one-third of the 55 bidding orders, 89 of the 258 body-smart robot brands, ranking behind the number of prime-monthly benchmark projects by the manufac

Among these, Yuke's body-smart robots (including humanoid, quadruped and other products) appeared in about a third of 55 bidding orders, and their products appeared 89 times in 258 body-smart robot labels, making them the second-highest-earning body-smart robot labels in the world.

If you look at the average number of enterprise projects, including desktop-level humanoid robots, Uber must select, polish, Jupiter, Infinite Power, Jelly Leaf, Galaxy General, Xi'an, Hyalur, Beijing humanoid, mirror recognition technology, accelerated evolution are the top 10 enterprises in the average number of orders.

If the focus is only on the medium-sized, full-sized humanoid robot field, the first place is taken by Yuke's technology with 136 humanoid robots, and 60 humanoid robots appear on the index list, with Infinite Dynamics ranking third with 50 number of adoption center orders. Representative service enterprises or ecological enterprises from companies such as Chiyo, Galaxy General and others had large number of adoption center bids in August, but did not disclose the specific number and product type details.


Ten-million yuan orders are scarce and counting centers remain the biggest buyer

In terms of the bidding volume distribution, there are seven orders in the million yuan category, representing only 4% and 65 orders in excess of one million yuan, representing about 40%, overall, orders in the range of hundreds of thousands of yuan to millions of yuan are the main amount of the current bidding.

Specifically, in August, there were seven bidding orders in excess of 10 million yuan, with the largest order amount of 122 million yuan, for the first-ever Intelligent Innovation and R&D Center Integrated Technology Operating Services Project, which was taken over by Beijing-based Fuentechnology Corporation (PPO) for the construction of data collection and training centers.

Top 10 projects in the field of physical intelligence in August

Based on the top 10 mid-level information on the amount of orders, the number of training centers undertaken by local governments and state-owned enterprises remains the largest procurement project, accounting for about 60% of the amount of the number of training centers project; orders from universities and research and education are the second largest force, accounting for more than 33%.

R&D education accounts for 80% and real-life scenarios are a long way off

In terms of project tenders, the field of research and education accounts for nearly 8 percent, is the largest trend of intelligent robots, and the industry is still in the early stages of R&D, with the power from the government and the scientific community being the main driver of orders.

Returning to commercial landing, in August, less than 10% of bidding orders were put into real-world applications such as electrical inspection, industrial inspection, tourism, commercial, firefighting etc.

In addition, some manufacturers have chosen to acquire intelligent robots for data acquisition or process adaptation, accounting for less than 2 percent.

It must be pointed out that the majority of bidding orders are open bidding, such as government and state-owned enterprises, and private enterprises are more accustomed to establishing orders in the form of strategic cooperation, framework agreements or contracts, and do not represent current mainstream applications.

Research and education is the largest and most frequently exported field in the field of humanoid robots and quadrupeds, and it is an inevitable fact today.

This is perhaps the most realistic picture today: the bidding market is not lacking orders, it is lacking the business logic behind orders; it is not lacking players, it is lacking players who can still run away from the ideal greenhouse environment.

August's data is neither a cause for decline nor a rallying cry, but a sober health report. Utrecht has become the largest buyer of brands, and research and education accounts for almost 80% of the trend, indicating that the industry is still paving the way for the future, but it's a long way to go.
