What is embodied intelligence?

Embodied intelligence (also called physical AI) refers to AI systems that can perceive, reason about, and interact with the physical world through a body or embodiment, such as humanoid robots, robotic arms, and autonomous vehicles.

What are humanoid robots?

Humanoid robots are robots designed to resemble and mimic the human body form and movements. They are being developed for applications in manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, and domestic assistance.

How is China leading embodied AI innovation?

China has become a global leader in embodied AI through massive government investment, rapid deployment of humanoid robots in manufacturing, breakthroughs in dexterous manipulation, and a growing ecosystem of startups like AGIBOT and StarDust Era.

What content does Embodied Global cover?

Tsinghua AIR Launches Gewu: Revolutionary Embodied AI Simulation Platform

Simulation Gewu Tsinghua Virtual Training Robotics

On May 1st, 2026, Tsinghua University's Institute for AI Industry Research (AIR) unveiled Gewu, a next-generation embodied AI simulation platform fundamentally changing how robots are trained and deployed. Three core innovations drive this revolution: high-throughput parallel rendering simultaneously running hundreds of virtual scenarios; high-fidelity physics simulation accurately modeling gravity, collisions, and friction; and an open-source ecosystem enabling community contributions. The platform dramatically reduces robotic arm training costs from hundreds of thousands to just a few thousand dollars, democratizing advanced robotics development. Industry observers call Gewu the iPhone moment for embodied intelligence, projected to become a one-trillion-yuan market by 2030.
