Qianxun Intelligence founder predicts humanoid robots will understand spoken language by next year and perform many general tasks.
Qianxun Intelligence founder and chief scientist Gao Yang predicts humanoid robots will understand spoken language and perform many general tasks as soon as next year, though widespread use in homes and practical work will take longer. The company aims a mid-2027 GPT-3.0–level milestone enabling natural language interaction and physical actions, with about 1,000 contract workers collecting real-world data and current success rate of 90% for simple tasks in structured living-room environments; industrial applications are seen as the initial window in 1–2 years, followed by robotics in commercial service about two years later.
