一面是领军公司开始All in投入，另一面是资本方开始陷入技术怀疑论。如今摆在所有人面前的问题是: 人形机器人的2025年，到底是泡沫的最后狂欢，还是一个关键转折点的到来？ 答案一直是清晰的。站在经济长周期的视角来看，历史经验已经告诉我们，技术革命的浪潮中，适度的 泡沫恰是推动文明进程的特殊催化剂。 人形机器人今天所引发的一系列争议，本质上是对技术成熟度的认知分歧。反对者指出，当前产品在运 动控制、环境感知、能源效率等核心指标上，仍与实用化存在代际差距，甚至人形可能都不是必需。 人形的具体技术路线到底对不对，相信未来市场和资本会通过用脚投票来自发进行选择。但如果我们认 为伟大不能被计划，创新源自涌现，那么在大规模的优胜劣汰过程中，泡沫其实是必然事件。 2025年最热门的赛道是什么？人形机器人一定能排进前三名。 自从宇树机器人登上春晚舞台，今年关于人形机器人的关注度就直线攀升。特别是亦庄机器人马拉松的 举办，更是把这一关注度推向了最高峰。海外市场对机器人的关注度也不输国内，比如在特斯拉2025年 第一季度更新报告中，该公司首次向外界展示了Optimus人形机器人试生产线。 机器人这个曾被视作科幻代名词的领域，在 ...
