The humanoid robot industry could hit its "ChatGPT moment" by the end of 2028, based on current data accumulation rates and model convergence trends, said Wang He, founder and CTO of Beijing-based Galbot Co Ltd.
The "ChatGPT moment" has become a popular metaphor in tech and investment circles to describe a sudden breakthrough that catapults a new technology from niche circles into the public consciousness, allowing ordinary people to viscerally feel its practical value.
Wang said a powerful pre-trained model combined with an efficient post-training paradigm is the key to unlocking this milestone, and embodied artificial intelligence foundation models trained on massive, comprehensive datasets could achieve a 70 to 80 percent success rate directly for tasks they have never been specifically trained for.
Galbot was among the invited enterprises to a private enterprise symposium hosted by Zheng Shanjie, head of the National Development and Reform Commission, in Beijing on Monday. The event focused on analyzing first-half economic performance and gathering suggestions for second-half economic work.
