China has launched the country’s first full lifecycle management service platform for humanoid robots in Beijing. The platform gives each robot a unique digital identity and enables end-to-end tracking from production to recycling. The platform, led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s Standardization Technical Committee for Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligence, assigns every humanoid robot a unique code upon leaving the factory, serving as a digital identification number.

The system is designed to cover the entire lifecycle of humanoid robots, including research and development, manufacturing, market access, sales, operation and end-of-life recycling. The platform would help ensure product traceability, strengthen supervision across the supply chain, prevent potential risks and clarify accountability. [TechNode reporting]
