GB/T 48317.4—2026 National Standard for Humanoid Robots Released, Led by UBTECH

Core point 4: Humanoid robots have a unified "common language." GB/T 48317.4—2026 will be implemented on April 1, 2027. As the lead drafting unit, UBTECH Robotics, together with the Standardization Administration of China, the National Standardization Technical Committee, and the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Intelligent Robots, compiled this standard. This standard addresses the question of what unified capabilities and performance humanoid robot systems should possess. Humanoid robots are a key focus of the intelligent manufacturing sector. The key to humanoid robots moving from the laboratory to large-scale deployment lies in whether they can operate stably and accurately in real-world scenarios, and in the degree of collaboration among various components. Previously, the industry focused on structural redesign, technological architecture, and algorithm implementation, each following its own path, and there was a long-term lack of a unified, universally applicable standard for what capabilities and performance humanoid robot systems should possess. The release of this standard focuses on the functional and performance requirements that humanoid robot systems should achieve, and is intended to promote the practical implementation of humanoid robots, enabling them to "run, be usable, and be comparable," and to provide a unified basis for enterprise R&D, testing, and product application. UBTECH Robotics: "What" and "How" in one document. The "Technical Requirements" standard released this time, together with the previously released series of standards on "Terms and Classification," "Intelligent Decision-Making," and "Industrial Planning," jointly outline the humanoid robot industry—the series of standards on "Terms and Classification" define the "what" of the industry, the "Intelligent Decision-Making" standard addresses the "how" of intelligent decision-making, and the "Industrial Planning" standard addresses the "how" of industrial implementation. The series of standards work together to address the interface and convergence relationships among different links in the humanoid robot industry chain, and to accelerate the resolution of issues such as inconsistent definitions and non-uniform technical dimensions. Unified standards: The humanoid robot industry is in a phase of rapid technological iteration, with continuous breakthroughs in underlying technologies such as control technology architecture and algorithms, and hardware implementation. Standards can define the implementation methods of algorithms, but the technology itself is evolving rapidly, and standards must also keep pace with the times. Therefore, when UBTECH Robotics led the drafting of this standard, it adhered to the principle of "regulating performance without limiting the route": it specifies what capabilities and performance humanoid robot systems should possess, and what performance they should achieve, without specifying which algorithm route an enterprise should adopt. This allows humanoid robots formed under different technical routes to be evaluated on a unified scale. Key elements of the standard: what should be "unified"? After the standard is released, the key lies in application. The next step is to promote the implementation of the standard, to verify in product R&D and practical applications whether the standard can truly unify the industry, and to enable enterprises to use this standard in humanoid robot technology R&D and system integration, forming a unified technical language. On the one hand, it is recommended that qualified testing platforms and organizations jointly promote the formation of a standard-compliant testing and certification system, to improve the efficiency of humanoid robot testing and certification and reduce duplication costs. At the same time, through product application, standard verification, and evaluation pilots, feedback is collected to further improve the standard, forming a closed loop of "standard requirements, testing and evaluation, application validation, and standard iteration." The future of unified standards: UBTECH Robotics led the drafting of this national standard, which is another effort by the company to promote the implementation of standards and to enable every user to use robots with confidence. From active participation to "point-by-point standards," UBTECH Robotics is one of the core forces in the humanoid robot industry. One enterprise, one chain, one set of standards, benefiting thousands of industries. China has the world's most complete manufacturing system, and this standard is not only for UBTECH Robotics to use well itself, but also for the entire industry to have a common yardstick. When every link in the chain has a "standard ruler," the entire industry can "run" on the same "track."
