From assembly lines to living rooms and disaster response sites, humanoid robots are rapidly entering our daily lives. At this year's Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, former New Zealand Prime Minister Jenny Shipley emphasized that functionality is the core value of robotics, highlighting their immense potential in elder care while cautioning against overdependence.

Chen Jianyu, founder of Robot Era Technology, pointed out that the biggest bottleneck at present lies in the generalization capabilities of large models. He believes robots should be positioned as "assistants" and "servants," taking over high-risk and labor-intensive tasks so humans can focus on higher-value endeavors.

Addressing the global technology trust deficit, Shipley called for leveraging mechanisms such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) to quickly establish standards and drive decision-making. Follow CGTN's Zang Shijie as we bring you voices from the forefront.
