China is looking to give every humanoid manufactured in the country a digital identity, as it seeks promote growth in the rapidly growing sector through establishing industry standards and strengthening regulation. The country launched a national initiative on Friday, dubbed the Humanoid Full Lifecycle Management Service Platform, to assign human-shaped and artificial intelligence-driven bipedal robots unique codes. The numbers will then be used to track the robots throughout their lifecycle, from production through to recycling, according to a report by the country’s state broadcaster CCTV. The programme is led by the Humanoid Robotics and Embodied Intelligence Standardization (HEIS) committee under China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
