On February 16, OpenAI stunned the world again with the debut of Sora, a new text-to-video model capable of generating minute-long, high-definition videos based on text prompts. This technological leap is seen as another landmark in the AI revolution following the global success of ChatGPT.
Sora's release underscores a broader wave of breakthroughs in AI applications. According to the journal Nature, artificial intelligence is expected to dominate major scientific advancements in 2024. Among practical implementations, humanoid robots have emerged as a new focal point, showing significant commercial potential and drawing increasing investment attention.
Policy Support and Market Momentum in China
Although China started relatively late in humanoid robot development, rapid industrial deployment is now underway. Since October 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has rolled out a series of strategic policies including:
- "Guidelines for Innovative Development of Humanoid Robots" (October 2023)
- "Implementation Opinions on Future Industry Innovation and Development" (January 2024)
These policies position humanoid robots as key markers of future innovation in China's advanced manufacturing roadmap.
Fenda Technology Enters the AI Robotics Race
Since April 2023, Fenda Technology has openly embraced generative AI and robotics commercialization. The company has:
- Signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Shanghai Twilight Robot Technology Co., Ltd.
- Focused on core component R&D, simulation robot development, and AI-integrated manufacturing
In December 2023, Fenda registered a new subsidiary, Shenzhen Veor Dynamics, dedicated to humanoid robot joint modules and other intelligent hardware development.
Full-Stack Innovation from Hardware to AI Integration
As one of the few Chinese companies offering hardware + software + cloud integration, Fenda has already launched multiple AI-powered products such as:
- Smart speakers
- AI translators
- Smart locks
Fenda has successfully delivered tens of thousands of lower-limb robot units to clients, generating millions in revenue. The company is currently developing AI-guided humanoid navigation robots for mass production in 2024.
Fenda aims to become a key solution provider in the humanoid robot supply chain—offering core components, high-precision assembly services, and AI-enhanced deployment platforms.
Looking Ahead: 2024 Could Be a Turning Point
With growing investment, accelerating technology convergence, and supportive policies, 2024 is shaping up to be the first true commercial year for humanoid robots. Their role is expected to expand significantly—alongside computers, smartphones, and electric vehicles—as the next iconic category in global industrial transformation.
