Is the robot industry’s “ChatGPT moment” coming?!

Wang Xingxing, founder of Unitree Technology, made a direct claim and went straight to the trending topics.
Let’s first look at how fast robots have evolved these past few years:
From stumbling at first steps → dancing → kung fu fighting—now they can already do some simple service-type work.
The iteration speed is clearly visible—it's like it’s taken a rocket.
Key point: he predicts that:
The “ChatGPT moment” for embodied intelligence will arrive within the fastest 2–3 years.
What does that mean? It means placing robots into completely unfamiliar scenarios, without additional training or tweaking, and having them jump right in to work—implementing many core functions.
By then, robots won’t just be “vases” put on display at trade shows for show; they’ll be real productivity tools that can get the job done.
From “able to perform” to “able to work”—that’s the real transformation.
