BEIJING, (Xinhua) -- An open collaborative ecosystem is needed to spur the development of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI), Wang Xingxing, founder and CEO of Unitree Robotics, told a press conference on Tuesday.
"The global vision for humanoid robotics technology and product development remains largely aligned, while countries may differ in cultural and industrial backgrounds," he said, citing that China boasts strong capabilities in hardware and manufacturing, while the United States leads in AI software ecosystems.
"These complementary strengths make international collaboration both necessary and beneficial," he said.
Unitree Robotics has made strides in open-sourcing its software, enabling many clients to develop a wide range of applications and innovations on the robotic platforms, Wang said, stressing that both robotics and AI still face significant challenges.
