Zhiyuan Peng Zhihui: The industry has entered the second half of competition characterized by engineering and scenario.

On February 28th, 2026, the humanoid robot and embodied intelligence standardization annual meeting was held in Beijing. Peng Zhihui, co-founder, president, and CTO of Intelligent Element Robot, stated at the meeting: "There are already over 140 domestic humanoid robot companies, with 330 products released. The industry has moved from showcasing in labs and demos to the second half of engineering and scene-based competition." Peng Zhihui believes that the flexibility of the main body has reached the practical stage, and the next step is to compete in terms of work efficiency. The competition is not only within the country, but also with leading overseas companies, to see who can truly land in the "deployment state."
