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.
