On the morning of April 21, the Beijing Municipal Government Information Office held a press conference for the second World Humanoid Robot Games. Principal officials from the Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, the Municipal Sports Bureau, China Central Television’s Beijing Station, the Chaoyang District Government, the China Center for Information Industry Development, and the Asia-Pacific Robot World Cup International Council introduced the event and answered questions from journalists. The conference was presided over by Ye Chang, Director of the External News Division of the Municipal Party Committee’s Propaganda Department. Nie Jieying, Deputy Secretary of the Chaoyang District Party Committee and District Mayor, stated that the Humanoid Robot Games serve as both a comprehensive review of industry technology and an important platform for stimulating innovation and empowering industrial upgrading. As the sole host district, Chaoyang feels a great sense of honor and responsibility. Under the strong leadership of the municipal party committee and government, and with the careful guidance of departments such as the Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology and the Municipal Sports Bureau, the district will leverage the legacy of hosting the "Double Olympics" to deliver the highest standards, warmest services, and optimal experience, ensuring comprehensive support to present the world with an international event that showcases the integration of technology and humanity, as well as the full expression of innovation and vitality.
Chaoyang District has promptly established a special task force leadership group, building a three-tier command system covering "inside the venue, outside the venue, and the local area" around event preparation and venue organization. This forms a closed-loop工作机制 with "full coverage, full-process control, and all-element support." First, focusing on the interior of the venues to meet core competition needs, efforts are being made to enhance the hardware service levels of venue facilities, pipeline equipment, and communication support. Particularly, leveraging the district’s advantages as a national data industry cluster and the country’s only data business district (DBD), and relying on the Beijing Digital Economy Computing Center and the city’s largest 5G base station network, the communication efficiency, anti-interference capability, and coordinated control level of robot clusters in the venues will be further improved. Additionally, solid work is being done to ensure emergency medical services and food safety, safeguarding the event comprehensively. Second, focusing on the periphery of the venues to strengthen comprehensive service support, coordination of surrounding hotels, catering, and other service resources is being prioritized to provide a comfortable experience for participants and spectators. Key roads are being managed to improve parking调度, shuttle services, and overall operational efficiency. Third, focusing on the entire Chaoyang District to highlight environmental atmosphere creation, continuous efforts are being made in environmental improvement and landscape enhancement of key areas, along with strengthened monitoring and maintenance of the "urban lifeline." Meanwhile, a series of特色 supporting activities are being planned, and a comprehensive宣传 matrix is being built to continuously enhance the event’s activity level and influence.
The scenario-based competitions are being held outside traditional venues for the first time, deeply integrating into real urban application scenarios, truly achieving resonance between competition and industrial needs. First, the optimal venues are being carefully selected. Leveraging the district’s unique advantages of diverse formats and rich scenarios, and adhering to the principles of贴近真实应用 and还原实战环境, suitable venues are being chosen from six scenario types across the district: hotels, homes, hospitals, commercial complexes, emergency response, and industrial settings. This allows robots to complete tasks in real environments with actual lighting and noise conditions, thoroughly testing their stability and reliability in complex settings. Second, the competition rules are being scientifically designed. The rules are strictly aligned with real standards of social operation and public services, shifting the evaluation dimension from "capable of doing" to "completing to high standards." This ensures the competition content precisely meets practical application needs, establishing a quantifiable and reusable实战 benchmark for industrial development. Third, efforts are being made to continuously promote the转化 of outcomes. The district is actively planning innovative measures to support the application of robot scenarios. Outstanding technologies and products that emerge from the competition will be prioritized for inclusion in Chaoyang District’s robot scenario application list, enjoying support such as first trial, first use, and成果转化, accelerating the transformation of technological value into industrial momentum.
The district is committed to using the preparation and hosting of the games as an important means to激活科技创新动能 and释放产业发展活力, continuously improving the integrated support system of "policy + scenario + service." On one hand, systematic planning of the industrial layout is underway. At the end of last year, in collaboration with the Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, the district released the Three-Year Action Plan for the Innovative Application of the Intelligent Robot Industry in Chaoyang District and several supporting measures. The plan aims to create an industrial development pattern of "one competition, one park, one zone": "one competition" refers to the World Humanoid Robot Games, "one park" involves transforming the Olympic Center Area into a robot park for the debut and first use of cutting-edge technological products, and "one zone" means building a robot industry cluster that integrates the entire industrial chain. On the other hand, fertile ground for industrial development is being cultivated. Relying on the "Hundred Science Parks" strategy, the district is promoting the construction of特色 parks such as the humanoid robot training base, innovation application base, and Zhongguancun (Chaoyang) AI Space Industrial Park, accelerating the layout of common technology platforms like data collection and training platforms and embodied intelligence testing laboratories. Simultaneously, efforts are being made to expand and improve the financial service matrix, with the establishment of a new municipal-district联动 embodied intelligence industry fund to precisely empower technology research and development and成果转化. Additionally, leveraging advantages such as being the country’s first headquarters集聚区 for international科技 organizations and the city’s only international venture capital集聚区, the district is continuously enhancing talent service brands like the "Phoenix Plan,"科技人才 "双招双引," and ITEC. It is also deepening the city’s first comprehensive service system for企业出海, providing global innovation teams and talents with one-stop, full-cycle优质服务. Hosting a successful event can激活一个产业 and点亮一座城市. The district will take this games as an opportunity to accelerate the集聚发展 of the robot industry, fully contributing Chaoyang’s strength to Beijing’s construction of an international科技创新中心. Everyone is sincerely invited to come to Chaoyang, invest deeply in Chaoyang, join the科技盛会, appreciate前沿风采, and experience the unique charm of intelligent innovation and the future of the city.
When asked about the measures taken by Chaoyang District to promote the application of robot scenarios, Deputy Secretary Nie Jieying responded that Chaoyang is the largest central urban district in Beijing by area and has the highest number of enterprises and population in the city. By the end of last year, its GDP had reached 966.85 billion yuan, with high-quality, high-end industries in finance, technology, business, and culture集聚发展. The industrial structure is diverse and rich in formats, providing得天独厚的 scenario资源优势. To better promote the application of robot scenarios, a series of measures have been taken. In terms of platform construction, the district adheres to driving technology iteration, product promotion, and industrial upgrading through scenarios, implementing the action of artificial intelligence empowering千行百业. A number of high-level platforms have been established, including the Scenario Research Institute, the Disruptive Technology Innovation Center, and the Industrial Technology Transformation Institute. Regarding scenario openness, in areas such as cultural tourism consumption, elderly care and rehabilitation, urban management, and education and healthcare, continuous efforts are being made to cultivate, explore, and open up scenarios. In terms of project reserves, in the field of intelligent robots, the district has collected and reserved over 100 high-quality benchmark scenario projects. Among them, 12典型应用场景, such as the robot restaurant at the Olympic Tower and robot guidance services in government service halls, have been publicly released. For scenario expansion, the district is systematically planning a district-wide,全时 scenario cultivation and openness方案及支持措施, fully promoting the construction of AI innovation streets. At the same time, diverse mechanisms and platforms are being built to vigorously promote the two-way interaction between "scenarios waiting for enterprises" and "enterprises seeking scenarios," striving to make Chaoyang District the preferred destination and best testing ground for the global transformation and implementation of robot technologies.
