Dongfeng Motor announced that its humanoid robots will enter manufacturing factories in October to handle tasks such as sorting and quality inspection. The company plans to begin small-batch trial production by the end of the year and target human-level capability by the end of 2027. Additionally, Dongfeng's self-developed quadruped robots are expected to be deployed in 4S stores for roles including customer guidance.
Chinese reporting highlights how traditional automakers are positioning themselves in the embodied AI sector by integrating humanoid and quadruped robots into production lines and retail environments. The dual focus on manufacturing tasks and commercial dealership scenarios illustrates a broader strategy of reusing automotive artificial intelligence models across multiple hardware formats.
