At the World Robot Conference 2026, Shengshu Technology's founder, Zhu Jun, unveiled a five-level development roadmap for general-purpose world models. These models aim to understand, predict, and act within digital and physical environments, moving beyond task-specific applications. The roadmap progresses from world generation (L1) and interaction (L2) to physical action (L3), autonomous agents (L4), and world orchestrators (L5), with Shengshu Technology having already achieved milestones in the first three levels. Key challenges remain in establishing unified evaluation systems, understanding physical laws, memory, online learning, efficient deployment, and safety for higher-level intelligence. AI
IMPACT This roadmap could guide future development in embodied AI, potentially accelerating the creation of more capable and adaptable robots.
