China unveiled its first full-life-cycle management service platform for humanoid robots in Beijing on Friday, enabling traceability of all humanoid robots in the country from assembly to scrapping.
From now on, every humanoid robot made in China will be assigned a unique four-segment identity code to ensure its traceability from research and development to production, market authorization, sales, usage, scrapping, and recycling.
Established by the Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligence Standardization Technical Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the full-life-cycle management system will ensure humanoid robots remain under control to prevent risks and improve accountability.
"It ensures the rigidity of management by comprising the country code, enterprise code, product code, and serial number, which guarantees global uniqueness, traceability, type differentiation, and individual tracking of humanoid robots. On the other hand, it provides technical flexibility for enterprises by allowing them to customize codes, fully taking their existing coding systems into account," said Dong Jian, director of the Information Technology Research Center at the China Electronics Standardization Institute.
So far, the platform has already covered more than 100 humanoid robot enterprises across China and has completed full-life-cycle ID code assignment for over 200 product models and more than 28,000 robots.
