"工业是机器人最好的应用场景。" 这个论述不绝对，但过去10年已经被产业实践多次证明，在当下和未来相当长的一段时间里，工业就是机器人最好的应用场景。 这段时间，英伟达CEO黄仁勋走访中国刮起的科技旋风，让这句话的含金量再次上升。 可能很多朋友还记得，前段时间2026年CES展上，黄仁勋身着标志性皮衣的90分钟演讲，回归了一个核心的主题，就是"务实"二字。 AI的前景再怎么远 大，也要解决在工业、生产、生活中遇到的实际问题。 同样，这一次来中国走访，黄仁勋又一次将"务实"进行到底。先是在上海逛菜市场、吃小笼包被指亲民接地气，后来又在深圳低调会见了一位女性创业者 ——普罗宇宙机器人创始人兼COO葛巾。 确实，在现有的公众叙事逻辑下，投资人和媒体人更热衷于关注能扭秧歌的宇树机器人，能够跑马拉松的天工机器人，而不是像普罗宇宙生产的各种能够 在工厂里打螺丝、搞装配的机器人。 该怎么理解这种行业现状?金庸老爷子的《射雕英雄传》都看过吧，普罗宇宙就像郭靖一样，基本功扎实，能力很强，但是一点都不酷炫，放在相亲市场 都远没有欧阳克、杨康这种高富帅公子哥吃香。 欧阳克、杨康自带高富帅buff，招式花哨、谈吐张扬，轻易就能吸引全场 ...

作者 | 王小娟 编辑 | 黄昱 当下，具身智能行业正处于蓬勃发展的上升期，赛道热度持续攀升，投融资市场关注度居高不下，但行业竞争也日趋激烈。"不跑快就会被淘汰"成为行业的 共识——技术迭代速度、场景落地能力、产品适配性直接决定企业生存空间。 迈入2026年，具身智能企业需要从实验室演示进入产业筛选与落地阶段。因此，2026年被认为是行业的"出清"与"落地"之年。各企业将通过商业模式的验 证，接受市场的真实检验。企业逐步形成了从实验室到真实场景的梯队化发展路径。 其中已实现稳定交付和复制的企业属于第一梯队。这些企业通常在真实场景中长期运行机器人，而非短期试点。而在具体应用场景当中，不少具身机器人已 经应用于表演展示、教育科研等场景。 去年，小鹏的IRON人形机器人因为太过于像人而引发热议。在当时的发布会上，小鹏汽车董事长、CEO何小鹏介绍，如果IRON进厂打螺丝，频繁操作带来 的高磨损度，几个月就要换一次手，而换一次的费用"可以雇用一个人工好几年"。当时，小鹏给IRON的"offer"是新车的代言人，并计划让其进入导览、导 购、导巡等应用场景。 不过，也有具身机器人企业从创业之初就盯上的是工业制造场景。 在她 ...
