We’ve seen the dancing robots and heard the speculation... but what’s really happening as China and the US race to turn robotics into a world-changing technology? How is each country positioned, and what's coming next?

What happens when AI moves beyond our screens and starts working in the physical world? And who is better positioned to turn that possibility into reality: China or the US? Join Britt, a robotics startup entrepreneur bridging China and the US and former venture capital analyst at UnitedHealth Group, for a fascinating discussion about the robotics race. We’ll explore where the two countries stand today, examining China’s power infrastructure, manufacturing base, and government support alongside America’s frontier AI labs, investment capital, and university and talent networks. What advantages matter most, and what could determine who pulls ahead?

We’ll unpack how robots and their supply chains work, explore startups such as Figure in the US and Unitree in China, and discuss what it takes to move from an impressive demonstration to robots people actually use. We’ll also examine how advances in AI, computing power, and training data could translate into robotic capabilities—and where progress may prove harder than expected. What could this mean for our jobs, businesses, and everyday lives? No technical background is necessary: bring your curiosity and questions to an accessible, thoughtful conversation about a competition that could shape the world we live in.

我们看过跳舞的机器人，也听过各种猜测……但中国和美国在争着把机器人变成改变世界的技术，这背后到底在发生什么？两边各自处在什么位置，接下来又会怎样？

当 AI 不再只待在屏幕里，而是开始进入物理世界干活，会发生什么？谁又更有机会把这种可能变成现实：中国还是美国？跟着 Britt 来聊一场有意思的讨论，聊聊这场机器人竞赛。Britt 是一位连接中国和美国的机器人创业公司创始人，之前也在UnitedHealth Group 做过风险投资分析师。我们会看看两国今天各自处在什么位置，一边看中国的电力基础设施、制造基础和政府支持，一边看美国的前沿 AI 实验室、投资资本，还有大学和人才网络。哪些优势最重要，又是什么可能决定谁能跑到前面？

我们会拆解机器人以及它背后的供应链是怎么运作的，也会聊聊美国的 Figure、中国的 Unitree 这些创业公司，还会讨论从一场很惊艳的演示，到真正被人用起来的机器人，中间需要什么。我们也会看看 AI、算力和训练数据的进步，怎么转化成机器人的能力——以及哪些地方的进展可能比想象中更难。这对我们的工作、生意和日常生活意味着什么？不需要任何技术背景：带上你的好奇心和问题，来一场好懂又有想法的聊天，聊聊这场可能塑造我们生活的竞争。
