• China disclosed its bold plans to mass-produce "advanced level" humanoid robots by 2025.

• The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology published a road map of its plans last week.

• Though many details have yet to be disclosed, China talked up the "disruptive" power of its robots.

China disclosed ambitious plans to mass-produce humanoid robots, which it says will be as "disruptive" as smartphones.

In an ambitious blueprint document published last week, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said the robots would "reshape the world."

The MIIT said that by 2025 the product will have reached an "advanced level" and be mass-produced. It made the statements in the development goals listed in its road map.

"They are expected to become disruptive products after computers, smartphones, and new energy vehicles," a translation of the document added.
