## China leading in advanced robotics The race for artificial intelligence shows no signs of slowing down, and the next big challenge is advanced robotics and so-called world models. China appears to be in a leading position to dominate this sector. According to research, nearly 13,000 robots are expected to be operational in China alone in 2025. This figure highlights the country's commitment and investment in the development of cutting-edge robotic technologies. ## Global implications Chinese leadership in advanced robotics could have significant implications for the global economy. Industrial automation, logistics and many other sectors could be transformed by the large-scale implementation of intelligent robots. It remains to be seen how other countries will respond to this challenge and what strategies they will adopt to compete with China in this crucial field.
