At the 2026 World AI Conference, Zhujidi Dynamics founder Zhang Wei argued humanoid robots are on an exponential growth curve, with their brain system at a GPT-3-like stage. He noted the company raised nearly $200 million in Pre-IPO funding from investors including Leishi Capital and IDG. Zhang emphasized that the real challenge is not building the robot body but achieving physical AI through data-driven brain systems, with commercialization depending on skill data costs being lower than value created.
