# Embodied AI and Robotics in Beijing: Where AI Meets the Physical Economy

## Purpose

Show why physical AI creates operating-geography requirements that software-only policy cannot answer.

## Audience

- robotics founders
- physical AI teams
- component and simulation builders

## Technology / industry topics

- embodied AI
- humanoid robotics
- robot data
- simulation
- manufacturing

## Important distinctions

- Policy existence does not establish programme eligibility.
- A maximum support amount is not an automatic payment.
- Company registration, work authorisation and residence are separate questions.
- Registration Node, Operating Node and Living Base may differ, subject to actual-operation and programme rules.

## Beijing treats embodied intelligence as an industrial system

The 2025–2027 plan spans key technologies, products, core companies, scaled applications, mass production and clusters: models + bodies + components + data + manufacturing + scenarios.

## Yizhuang is where the strategy becomes physical

The zone's measures cover multimodal and world models, embodied brain and control, robot bodies, components, laboratories, simulation, pilot production and real operating scenarios.

## Actual operation can matter more than a registered address

The embodied-robotics measures apply to qualifying organisations operating in the defined Yizhuang area. A founder must verify the entity, site and project conditions before treating the programme as relevant.

## Physical AI makes the Operating Node hard to ignore

Machines, technicians, suppliers, test environments and customers create daily geographic gravity even when the founder chooses a different Living Base.

## Common questions this page helps answer

- Which machine, component, dataset or test scenario is the bottleneck?
- Must the team operate daily in the industrial node?
- Which project-location rule must be checked?
