2026 is hailed as the "first year of mass production" for humanoid robots. Two out of every five collaborative robots in China are made in Shandong. The province hosts over 120,000 robotics-related enterprises and 502 companies involved in the embodied intelligence industrial chain, covering 73 industry segments. With 16 cities fully engaged in embodied intelligence development, a "Qilu Chain" has already taken shape. Shandong is driving robots into real-world applications.
