Two Chinese ministries target routine deployment of humanoid robots by end-2026

两部门：到2026年底人形机器人等重点产品完成应用验证并常态部署

China’s MIIT and SASAC require key products including humanoid robots to complete application validation and enter routine deployment by the end of 2026, targeting more than 100 high-value scenarios and deployment at the ten-thousand-unit scale.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the policy gives a hard humanoid-robot deployment timeline and scale targets. It stays in the lower featured band because budget, pilot names, and enforcement mechanics are not disclosed.
