Recently, the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Science and Technology Innovation issued the "Shenzhen Embodied Intelligent Robot Technology Innovation and Industrial Development Action Plan (2025-2027)," aiming to promote the comprehensive development of embodied AI technology. The plan explicitly proposes building an embodied intelligence base and large models for vertical fields, marking a significant step for Shenzhen in the intelligent robotics field.
The core of this action plan lies in developing embodied intelligence large models with interactive, predictive, and decision-making capabilities based on world models and multi-modal input and output such as vision-touch-language-action (VTLA). These models not only enable chain-of-thought (COT) reasoning but also possess autonomous learning capabilities, allowing them to handle complex tasks in various scenarios and meet diverse application needs.

In terms of implementation, Shenzhen will develop targeted vertical application large models focusing on key application scenarios. For example, in healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing, the application of embodied AI technology will significantly improve efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, the action plan emphasizes establishing training and inference technology systems to support large-scale model development and application. These measures will propel Shenzhen's leading position in intelligent robot technology innovation.
It is worth mentioning that the plan also involves the research and development of AI chips. Shenzhen will concentrate its efforts on developing novel AI chip architectures, including neural network processor instruction sets and in-memory computing architectures. Breakthroughs in these technologies will provide strong hardware support for embodied AI applications and promote rapid development in the robotics field.
Overall, this action plan not only points the way for Shenzhen's intelligent robotics industry but also provides valuable experience for technological innovation nationwide. While promoting embodied AI technology, Shenzhen will further increase investment and research in related fields, striving for a favorable position in future technological competition.
