Unitree CEO Wang Xingxing announced at a Beijing robotics conference that the industry is approaching a “ChatGPT moment” for embodied intelligence, following the company’s high‑profile Shanghai IPO. He noted that Unitree’s largest investment is in world models, yet real‑world application of physical AI lags behind. Wang outlined a future where robots can autonomously complete about 80 % of household tasks via simple voice or text commands, a potential tipping point for explosive growth. He cautioned that such a leap could take two to ten years.
