China’s humanoid robot and embodied intelligence standards committee presented its 2026 standards framework at a February 28 meeting in Beijing, according to the Chinese Institute of Electronics, which serves as the committee’s secretariat.
The framework covers six areas: common foundations, brain and computing technologies, limbs and components, complete machines and systems, applications, and safety. The meeting also established six working groups and released a list of priority standards projects.
For developers and buyers, the framework sets out where standards work will focus. It is a framework for developing standards, rather than evidence that every proposed standard is already mandatory or that commercial deployments have met it.
