Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Overweight" indicating that the industry is expected to outperform the overall market [18]. Core Insights - The core trend observed at the recent robotics conference is the acceleration of application scenario diversification and significant cost reductions in core sensors and hardware, with conditions for implementation gradually maturing. Similar to the early stages of autonomous driving, humanoid robots exhibit both a general-purpose route and a focus on niche scenarios. In high-tech, long commercialization paths with complex regulatory requirements, companies with stable cash flows and clear application scenarios are more resilient to capital shocks. Humanoid robots require control of at least 10-15 degrees of freedom, with algorithm complexity significantly higher than that of autonomous driving. The market space for robots is vast, but regulatory frameworks need improvement, and there are more ethical challenges, with a short-term maturity timeline of 2-3 years. Investment focus should be on the binding degree between companies and application scenarios, as well as the feasibility of technology, regulation, and costs. Currently, hardware is no longer the main bottleneck; breakthroughs are expected in control algorithms and human-machine interaction experiences, particularly in low-algorithm dependency scenarios like healthcare and exoskeletons, which are likely to see early volume growth [5][6]. Summary by Sections 1. Robotics Conference - The robotics conference highlighted the trend of accelerating diversification in application scenarios and significant cost reductions in core sensors and hardware, leading to maturing implementation conditions.

Despite slightly lower precision and heavier weight, improvements through structural design and material changes are anticipated. Companies with existing layouts in the cycloidal gear reducer field, such as Shuanghuan Transmission and Changban Technology, are recommended for attention [7]. 3. XPeng Motors - XPeng is focusing on the upgrade of the new P7 model and the layout of extended-range products. The new P7 is designed to appeal to mainstream aesthetics, with increased size for rear space and comfort, and features a mid-mounted electric drive layout and dual-chamber air suspension. The intelligent driving system has been upgraded to the Ultra version, supporting L4 level autonomous driving. The pricing strategy will be crucial for its market performance, with the X9 extended-range version expected to launch soon, which is seen as a key driver for future sales growth [8]. 4. Investment Recommendations - Investment recommendations include focusing on domestic leading manufacturers like BYD, Geely, and XPeng, as well as companies with strong performance growth and robotics layouts such as Fuyao Glass and Shuanghuan Transmission. The report emphasizes the importance of technology and regulatory feasibility in investment decisions [5][8].
