Unitree's Wang Xingxing: 'My biggest mistake was not believing in AI enough'
Speaking at the opening dialogue of the 26th China International Industry Fair, Unitree founder Wang Xingxing said the recent release of GPT-6 significantly changed how the embodied-AI industry thinks, and that his team deployed it on its robots for task testing with fairly good results. He expects the tipping point for embodied AI to arrive relatively soon, possibly within one to two years, though large-scale robot deployment still requires solving generalization and efficiency problems, which he believes will be addressed in the next few years. He also said his personal belief in AI keeps growing and that his biggest mistake over the past decade-plus was not trusting AI enough, adding that many people still have not fully used or embraced it.
A leading embodied-AI founder's public read on how large models will push robots toward generalization offers a signal on the sector's pace.
