Tips

history

Imported from the cognitive-science term 'embodied AI / embodied intelligence.' Went mainstream in China in 2024–2025 as domestic humanoid-robot startups (Unitree, UBTech, Fourier, Agibot) raised huge rounds and appeared at the Spring Festival gala and major expos. Named a 2025 Top 10 buzzword by 《咬文嚼字》.

Tech/industry/policy vocabulary. 具身 'having a body' + 智能 'intelligence.' Contrasts with pure-text AI like ChatGPT. Often paired with 大模型 and 未来产业.
