Earlier this year, a Peter Diamandis report found about 100 companies working on humanoid robots globally. A few short months later, there are 150 just in China. In fact, the humanoid robot hype is getting so potentially overheated that China’s economic planning agency is warning its robotics sector that too many companies are working on the technology. Too many companies are working on humanoids in China right now, says Li Chao, the spokesperson for China’s the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
