State Council Releases Opinions on Further Implementing the “Artificial Intelligence +” Initiative
The State Council released the “Opinions on Further Implementing the ‘Artificial Intelligence +’ Initiative”. It mentions that by 2027, China will take the lead in realizing extensive and in-depth integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with 6 key fields; the penetration rate of applications such as next-generation intelligent terminals and intelligent agents will exceed 70%; the scale of the core industry of the intelligent economy will grow rapidly; the role of AI in public governance will be significantly enhanced; and the AI open cooperation system will be continuously improved.
By 2030, AI in China will fully empower high-quality development; the penetration rate of applications like next-generation intelligent terminals and intelligent agents will surpass 90%; the intelligent economy will become an important growth engine for China’s economic development; and technology inclusiveness and result sharing will be promoted.
By 2035, China will fully enter a new stage of intelligent economy and intelligent society development, providing strong support for basically realizing socialist modernization.
This policy not only promotes innovation in upper-layer AI applications but also provides a direction for the intelligent upgrading of underlying manufacturing equipment such as the Automated Loading Assembly Machine for Electronic Components — in the future, such equipment will be more deeply integrated into AI systems, enabling autonomous optimization of production line parameters and collaborative scheduling of multiple devices, thereby further improving the production efficiency and flexibility of the electronic manufacturing industry.

Unitree Technology’s Humanoid Robot Foot Patent Granted
On August 26, 2025, the patent for “A Humanoid Robot Foot and A Humanoid Robot” applied by Hangzhou Unitree Technology Co., Ltd. was officially granted. This patent relates to the technical field of humanoid robots. The proposed robot foot consists of a foot shell and an elastic sole component, with multiple deformable air chambers inside. It transmits extrusion information through air pipe components, featuring rapid response and high durability. In terms of design, fragile components such as sensors are kept away from impact areas, improving durability and maintenance convenience.
The efficient assembly of core electronic components of such humanoid robots (e.g., foot sensors, control chips) relies on the precision support of the Automated Loading Assembly Machine for Electronic Components, which reflects that various technology tracks have formed a development pattern of “technological complementarity and industrial linkage”.
