Group 1 - The 2025 China Entrepreneur Influence Entrepreneur Annual Conference is held from December 5 to 7 in Beijing, focusing on the theme "Emergence·Infinity - Co-creating New Forms of Intelligent Business" [1][5] - The founder and CEO of Mech-Mind Robotics, Shao Tianlan, highlighted that the robotics industry is relatively small, with total industrial robot sales reaching 500,000 units last year, and the combined revenue of all related companies is less than two-thirds of Midea Group's revenue [3][7] - Shao emphasized that the robotics sector is not merely about selling products but involves complex projects requiring various engineering expertise, which leads to significant customization and high costs [3][7] Group 2 - To address the issue of robots not being intelligent enough, Shao suggested that the environment should be modified to accommodate robots rather than forcing robots to adapt to existing environments, which presents a major bottleneck [3][7] - He pointed out that theoretically, robots can perform many tasks if sufficient funding is available, but economic constraints prevent the widespread use of customized engineering solutions [3][7] - Shao illustrated the cost disparity between mass-produced and customized products, stating that while a mass-produced sofa may cost 2,000 yuan, a customized version could be priced at 20,000 yuan, reflecting similar dynamics in the robotics industry [3][7] - He concluded that 99.5% of the potential capabilities of robots remain untapped due to extensive customization, and the current demand in large-scale manufacturing is 100 times greater than the existing robot supply [3][7]
