In the robotics sector, BYD has invested in several robotics companies and is advancing internal research, development, and manufacturing. Physical AI is highly complex, and the diversity and unpredictability of human movements far exceed those in autonomous driving scenarios. As a result, BYD is gradually advancing robotics applications, starting with simple scenarios.
