What it changes

For a robot maker or a deployer

Two Chinese city governments are funding the supply side of humanoids and writing their own data collection and test verification standards while national standards are still in drafting. For a maker, that is where pilot sites, test beds and customers are being created, and it is also where local technical requirements will appear first. Neither plan binds a maker; both decide who gets paid.
