Leju Says 15 Humanoid Robots Hit 95% Productivity After Two Months on a Factory Line; Embodied Firms Top 194 Nationwide

At the 2026 Greater Bay Science Forum in Guangzhou on November 1, Leju Robotics chairman Leng Xiaokun said a factory accepts a robot only once its success rate tops 80%, and that 15 of the company's robots working two months at a Zhejiang manufacturer reached about 95% actual productivity, largely meeting the plant's needs. He described a staged training path: simulation-heavy pre-training (40-50% success), site-specific fine-tuning (about 80%), then real-factory reinforcement with data feedback pushing efficiency to 95%. Leng noted the humanoid-robot field has moved past the "whether it exists" question - in 2023 only three domestic firms were found for a report, but now more than 194 embodied-intelligence-related companies exist, with over 90 billion yuan of related financing in the first half of the year, signaling the sector's shift from demonstration to real deployment.
