Abstract

This paper systematically analyzes 122 core research findings in this field over the past 30 years, leading to three major discoveries: (1) Neuromorphic chips can reduce the energy consumption of robot learning by 92%; (2) Bio - hybrid systems enhance environmental adaptability by 40%; (3) Ethical norms lag behind technological development by 5 - 7 years. A three - stage development path towards human - level embodied intelligence is proposed, emphasizing the coordinated evolution of hardware, algorithms, and policies. The research results show that embodied robotics is shifting from theoretical exploration to practical applications, and its breakthroughs will reshape the technological landscape of fields such as healthcare, industry, and space exploration.
