Changan Automobile Targets Mass Production of Humanoid Robots by 2028 and Flying Cars by 2030
During a recent investor meeting, Changan Automobile announced roadmap goals to mass-produce embodied AI humanoid robots by 2028 and introduce commercial flying car air routes by 2030. The company also disclosed ongoing verification testing for its 20Ah oxygen-polymer composite solid-state battery technology. Traditional automakers are increasingly expanding into robotics, embodied AI, and low-altitude mobility to transform beyond conventional electric vehicle manufacturing. Achieving these goals could reshape industrial automation, urban transportation, and next-generation battery technology across the automotive industry. Changan's robotics rollout strategy begins with automating vehicle component integration, progressing to smart factory logistics and cleaning, and eventually aiming for 'robots building robots.' Regarding battery tech, the 20Ah oxygen-polymer composite design aims to balance mechanical strength with flexible interface contact to improve safety and performance.
## BACKGROUND
Embodied AI refers to artificial intelligence systems embodied in physical entities—such as humanoid robots—that interact dynamically with physical environments. Oxygen-polymer composite solid-state batteries combine inorganic oxide electrolytes with polymer matrices to solve key challenges of single-material solid electrolytes, such as high interfacial resistance and low ionic conductivity.
