Abstract:Based on the five-dimensional synergistic framework of “technology-industry-policy-ethics-security,” this paper employs bibliometric and semantic analysis methods to comparatively analyze the development trajectories of humanoid robots in China and the West from 2000 to 2025.The study finds that China focuses on hardware performance optimization and industrial scenario integration,accelerating the localization and large-scale application of core components through policy-driven approaches.In contrast,Western countries prioritize AI algorithms,vertical domain ecosystem construction,and ethical compliance,forming a complementary division of labor characterized by “limbs-first” and “brain-dominant” strategies.Significant differences emerge in technological R&D,industrial models,policy tools,and ethical governance:China leverages manufacturing advantages to promote full-chain integration,while Western countries strengthen ecosystem barriers through niche markets and open-source technologies.Chinese policies emphasize incentive-based support,whereas Western approaches highlight defensive regulation.The study recommends that China enhance algorithm development and interdisciplinary collaboration,deepen vertical scenarios such as healthcare and eldercare,adopt “sandbox regulation” to balance innovation risks,and establish an ethical framework compatible with cultural differences alongside an internationally aligned safety system.This research provides theoretical insights for global collaborative innovation and governance in humanoid robotics,aiding China in overcoming “bottleneck” constraints and achieving differentiated competition.
