The world's first embodied artificial intelligence skills competition using the judging criteria of the WorldSkills Competition, to be held in Shanghai from Friday to Sunday, is expected to effectively promote the integration of humanoid robots into various aspects of life and industrial production.
This competition was held as part of the Global Developer Pioneers Summit 2025.
The competition's judges included AI experts, robotics experts, and International Skills Competition winners, ensuring that the competition was professional and reflected real human needs.
Home services include flower arranging, clothing folding, and meal serving.
In response to voice commands, the related humanoid robot was able to accurately find the appropriate type of flower among flowers of similar color and shape, and smoothly arrange it in a narrow-mouthed vase.
“The judges evaluated the robot's cognitive, autonomous, and reasoning abilities. The competition also included areas of digitization, programming, robotics, and even art,” said judge Wang Dajiang.
“We believe that in the future, robots will serve every household, especially in areas such as home services and elderly care. We believe that through the annual competition, which features guidance from AI experts and Skills Competition winners, robot skill development will be greatly accelerated. This will allow robots to be quickly integrated into various aspects of daily life and industrial production,” said Jiang Lei, principal researcher at the national and local jointly built Humanoid Robot Innovation Center.

China's CH-7 high-altitude, high-speed and long-lasting unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has successfully completed its maiden flight at an airport in northwestern China.
The CH-7 attracted attention at the 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition (also known as China Air Show) in 2024.
Featuring a high-aspect-ratio, flying-wing aerodynamic configuration, the CH-7 can carry a variety of high-performance mission payloads, including visible light and infrared sensors. According to the developer, it boasts long endurance, high flight ceiling, fast cruising speed and strong mission capability, meeting the requirements of high-end ground observation and data support under complex conditions.
It is reported that the UAV will then undergo further testing, including flight performance tests and payload functionality verification.
