China’s humanoid robotics race entered a new phase on March 29, 2026, as a high-capacity production line in Guangdong officially began operations. The factory is reported to be the country’s first capable of producing up to 10,000 humanoid robots annually, signaling a shift from small-scale experimentation to industrial-level manufacturing. The development comes amid an intensifying global race to scale humanoid robot production, where output numbers are increasingly seen as a key benchmark of progress and investor confidence.
