0330 GMT - The commercialization of humanoid robots is approaching, but mass adoption is still several years away, Bernstein analysts say in a note. Automakers and parts suppliers remain actively engaged in humanoid robot development, although most believe meaningful commercialization is still three to five years away, they add. XPeng maintains one of the most accelerated commercialization timeline among automakers, targeting mass production in early 2027, with initial deployment through dealerships and showroom applications in both China and overseas markets. Other automakers, including BYD, are increasingly evaluating humanoid robots for manufacturing applications, where labor replacement and productivity gains could be significant.
