The field of embodied intelligence has reached a "dawn moment" of standardization. On March 26, the first industry standard in the field of embodied intelligence, jointly drafted by the China Academy of Information Communication Technology and more than 40 other organizations, was officially released. This marks the end of the industry's chaotic state and the beginning of a new phase of standardized development.

This standard will take effect starting June 1, 2026. Its core significance lies in establishing a unified benchmark testing framework, clarifying the architecture and capability requirements of embodied intelligent systems, and providing an authoritative technical evaluation criterion for the industry.

Key Highlights: A Comprehensive and Multidimensional Evaluation System

According to the standard, future embodied intelligence testing will no longer be limited to a single dimension but will cover a full range from virtual to real environments:

  • Testing Dimensions: Supports in-depth testing of basic capabilities, cognitive reasoning abilities, and full-loop closed-loop capabilities.

  • Testing Methods: Includes four modes—static simulation, dynamic simulation, real environment testing, and combined testing.

  • Environmental Coverage: Standardizes test benchmarks, methods, and evaluation indicators in both simulation and real environments.

Combining Software and Hardware: A Task Library Supporting Practical Implementation

To ensure that the standard does not remain just theoretical, the development team also created a powerful supporting infrastructure:

  • Massive Task Library: A database with over 10,000 test tasks has already been established.

  • Diverse Scenarios: There are 300 types of tasks, accurately covering mainstream application scenarios such as industry, home, retail, and logistics.

  • Tool Matrix: A complete set of testing tools has been developed, including data collection and management, simulation task generation, and automated indicator calculation, greatly enhancing the operability and automation level of the standard.
