From Thought to Motion: Why China’s Robotics Industry Is Betting on Brain–Computer Interfaces for Rehabilitation and Elder Care

Chinese robotics firms are prioritizing rehabilitation and eldercare as the first real markets for embodied intelligence, pairing non‑invasive brain–computer interfaces with exoskeletons to restore patient agency and create quantifiable training data. Industry players are addressing technical, data and integration challenges through consortiums and clinical partnerships, aiming to convert early prototypes into scalable clinical products over the next three to five years.
