I went to the Yushu Conference and Wang Xingxing made an explosive speech.

Please tell me, will you be scared when there are more robots and robot dogs than real people in a room?

This morning, we will participate Yushu Technology’s “2026 World Physics AI Conference and Partner Ecosystem Conference”, encountered this scene.

As an indigenous technology media outlet in Hangzhou, I naturally arrived at the venue early in the morning. As a result, the exhibition area was filled with all kinds of robot dogs. For a moment, I almost thought I had mistakenly entered the set of Cyberpunk Edgewalker 2.

However, what was more explosive than the robots all over the floor was Wang Xingxing’s several speeches on the stage. It can be said that he kept making violent remarks and wise words. At that time, I felt that he must have hired an expert.

Sure enough, when I turned around I saw real master。

All joking aside, before we went to the scene, the script we had thought of was that Wang Xingxing would show off the new skills of his robot on the stage, how many somersaults it could do, how much joint torque it had, and then talk about the current status of the entire robot industry and some trends.

As a result, Wang Xingxing mainly talked about the current internal situation of Yushu on the stage, which was purely related to the robotics industry.

For example, Unitree G1, released in May 2024, is currently the best-selling humanoid robot in the world. The cumulative production of about 10,000-20,000 units has been rolled off the production line., Wang Xingxing himself joked that even many of his own follow-up models look similar to the G1.

In addition to leading the research and development trend of the entire industry, Yushujia’s robots are also used in various scenarios. For example, some teams are working in minimally invasive surgeries. (an essay), construction sites, airports and other scenes have been tried.

And for most of the rest of the time, Wang Xingxing basically talked to everyone on stage about AI.。

When Wang Xingxing talked about AI, I felt a sense of almost paranoid fanaticism. When he came on stage, he turned up the volume immediately: ” The ChatGPT moment of embodied intelligence could come as soon as 2027 or 2028。”

In order to prevent us from not understanding the specific concept of this ChatGPT moment, Wang Xingxing proposed a “double 80% standard”, which means that in 80% of unfamiliar scenes, the robot can successfully complete 80% of the tasks by relying only on voice or text instructions.

To be honest, looking at the current performance of robots in various tasks, we are still murmuring in our hearts.

But if this double 80% standard can be achieved, the speed at which robots can enter thousands of households will probably double.

At the same time, he also judged Physics AI will be completely “broken down” in the last 1-2 years or 2-3 years。

As long as the alignment problem between the input and output of the AI ​​model and the real physical robot is solved, robots equipped with large physical AI models can truly enter the homes of ordinary people.

Why did he dare to set such a radical timetable?

Wang Xingxing believes that the reason why people haven’t felt it yet is because there is often a delay of several years from when a technology breaks through in the laboratory to becoming popular to the public.

But in fact, it has been basically realized within the top large model companies. “Self-evolution” of the model, those top-notch AIs are already writing their own code and collecting data for themselves, and humans can just provide assistance.

Once the model has the ability to self-evolve, its iterative upgrades may be faster than we currently estimate.

In addition to these judgments about the future of the industry, we are also aware that Yushu seems to be starting to transform or expand its business.

When people mentioned Yushu before, what was their first reaction?

His robots are durable and have unparalleled hardware integration capabilities, but at the same time, many people always feel that they are not smart enough or autonomous enough.

But Wang Xingxing said that currently Yushu is pre-developing a large model of physical AI robot self-evolution V1.0。

And next, while improving its large-scale mass production capabilities, Yushu will conduct self-research and cooperation in parallel, promote physical AI small models that adapt to hardware, and deploy ultra-large-scale computing power clusters.

After this combination of punches, it is obvious that Yushu is not willing to just make a robot, but also wants to make the robot smart.

But he may have realized that it is extremely difficult to add a brain to the current embodied intelligence. Therefore, Wang Xingxing also posted hero posts on the spot and officially launched the Yuchuang Project.

The purpose of this Yuchuang plan is to call on all established companies around the world, even teams that only need a clear entrepreneurial direction. I hope that these entrepreneurs who have technology and ability and want to make embodied intelligence bigger and stronger will join the entire ecosystem.。

Yushu will collaboratively share some verified resource chains with all teams that join this plan.

To put it simply, as long as you have the technology at hand, even if you are just a small team with a clear entrepreneurial direction, you can work together and make progress together.

Yushu will share its already well-established supply chain and other resources to help these start-up teams overcome the most troublesome difficulties of large-scale mass production.

At the same time, Yushu also underwent surgery The best martial arts club in the world of robotics—World Physics AI Competition, paying tens of millions of yuan in bonuses out of his own pocket every year, allowing robots from around the world to be evaluated.

I took a closer look at the eight official tracks and found them a bit interesting.

There are not only serious working-class tracks such as “dexterous operation, production, multi-modal interaction, and health care”, but also “any movement, track and field, sports events”, as well as “fighting” and other sports events. . .

To be honest, in the future business wars in the robotics circle, perhaps there will be no need to engage in price wars, take-out wars, and stop scaring people with essays and lawyer’s letters. Instead, we can directly send the geniuses of various sects to the ring to fight with real swords and guns. Whoever’s parts fall apart first will automatically lose.

But when we look at this physics AI competition, it feels a bit familiar.

Back then, Apple relied on the App Store to tie programmers around the world to the iOS ecosystem to work for it, and it also created the prosperous iOS software ecosystem today.

And Yushu probably thinks the same way. No matter how fast or big the company develops, the energy of the company is only the energy of a company. If the arena is set up, the bonuses are arranged, and people with ideas and abilities from all over the world can join in and work together, then it will be a real win-win situation.

After the entire press conference, although Wang Xingxing talked about the grand narrative of tens of billions of markets and super intelligence, if you sit in the audience and observe him, you will find that he does not have the greasy tone of a business tycoon, and he is still the typical straight man in science and engineering.

In his speech, Wang Xingxing said two words that impressed me deeply.

The first sentence is: ” Almost everyone in the world doesn’t attach enough importance to or believe in AI, including myself.. ” He feels that too few people have truly seen the capabilities of top AI models, and the public has not realized what the world will look like in the next few years.

The second sentence is his confession at the end: ” I’m really afraid of wasting every day。”

He said that every day he wakes up, there are too many things he wants to do and too many new things to learn, because our generation really has the opportunity to realize superintelligence with our own hands. (AGI), the man who pushed humanoid robots into the next era.

Although it sounds very enthusiastic when you leave Hangzhou, to be honest, when you just walked out of the exhibition hall and looked at the electric takeout vehicles running all over the streets, you will still feel that the future of “robots doing work for you” is quite far away from ordinary people.

But then I thought about it. A few years ago, everyone thought it was novel to watch a robot dog do somersaults. Who would have thought that now this group of people has begun to organize the world’s best martial arts club.
