Gasgoo Munich- To accelerate the high-quality development of Beijing's embodied AI robotics industry, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology recently issued the "Action Plan for High-Quality Development of Beijing's Embodied AI Robotics Industry (2026–2028)."
By 2028, the plan aims to nurture at least five world-class and 10 domestically leading humanoid robot OEMs. Embodied AI models, robot hardware, and key technologies should reach world-class levels. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is targeted to account for 25% of national production capacity, with a local matching rate for key components exceeding 60%. The city also aims to pioneer a scientific, multi-agency safety governance system covering the full product lifecycle — positioning Beijing as a global hub for embodied AI robotics technology and industrial innovation.

The blueprint deploys six major initiatives: embodied intelligence leap, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei supply chain synergy, technology innovation sourcing, scaled application rollout, industrial ecosystem leadership, and safety governance pioneering.
Notably, the plan calls for "actively onboarding cross-industry supply chain players, such as intelligent connected vehicle companies." At least 10 shared manufacturing platforms with rapid-response capabilities for structural part machining, SMT assembly, and wiring harness production will be built across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The goal is to slash sample delivery times after component design changes to just 1–2 days. R&D and manufacturing parks will also be developed "around vehicle-machine and electromechanical integration."
On the application front, the plan sets a 2028 target to establish at least 20 benchmark scenarios each in the industrial and service sectors, and no fewer than 10 in special-purpose fields. It also aims to cultivate over 200 specialized and innovative enterprises, and lead or participate in at least eight international and 30 national standards.
Beijing's Yizhuang district already hosts over 300 robotics and embodied AI ecosystem companies, with a supply chain scale exceeding 20 billion yuan. Existing auto-supply-chain strengths in precision machining, wiring harnesses, and scaled manufacturing are now being folded into the humanoid robot ecosystem to drive down costs and scale up production.
