Humanoid robot brains could see a breakthrough by late next year similar to the dramatic impact ChatGPT had on AI ​usage, the CEO of Chinese embodied AI startup ACE Robotics said on Friday.

“We expect to reach the ‘ChatGPT moment’ for embodied intelligence by the end of next year, driven by world models and environmental data capture,” Wang Xiaogang told Reuters.

“Even if we reach that inflection point by late 2027, it will likely take another four to five years to see broad commercial implementation of embodied world models across sectors,” said Wang, who is also a co-founder of Chinese AI visual recognition pioneer SenseTime.
