Just two days after the Games, the PLA Daily called for faster transfer of cutting-edge technologies from laboratories to military training grounds for robotic \u201ccombatants.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>China\u2019s military researchers are already envisioning humanoids operating alongside soldiers in urban warfare. A 2025 study by researchers at the national university of defense technology modelled an assault force involving six \u201ccombat robots\u201d; humanoids, robot dogs or unmanned vehicles working with troops to clear enemy-held buildings floor by floor.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Another NUDT competition in 2025 simulated \u201cinfiltration behind enemy lines\u201d, requiring robots to enter an area, map the terrain and locate targets.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The PLA Daily has also suggested that humanoid missions could eventually move \u201cfrom supporting combat toward primary combat\u201d, including scenarios where robots could potentially be authorised to fire on targets after human verification.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>The military\u2019s interest is not limited to the robots themselves. In June 2026, the PLA budgeted about $300,000 for a system to collect and label camera, radar and motion data for humanoids, indicating a focus on building the AI and training infrastructure needed to make the machines operate in complex environments.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Chinese defence companies are also entering the field. Norinco, the state-owned defence conglomerate, has developed the Fuxi humanoid, which company materials say can perform sentry duty, reconnaissance and patrols, including dangerous missions. <!-- -->The robot can also be remotely operated by a human.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>There is no evidence that China has deployed armed humanoids with operational PLA units yet. The technology remains energy-intensive and unreliable outside controlled environments.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>But Chinese military researchers are already looking further ahead. Wang Yonghua of the Academy of Military Sciences wrote that breakthroughs in movement, perception and intelligence, along with lower costs and mass production, would be needed before humanoids become widespread military systems.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>If those conditions are met, Wang wrote, \u201chumanoid robots will stream onto the battlefield.\u201d<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/defence\/international\/robot-army-how-china-is-preparing-for-future-battlefields\/articleshow\/133889667.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PLA studies are already exploring humanoid robots for building-clearing and enemy-line infiltration missions.
