凤凰网科技讯 8月22日，在2026世界机器人大会论坛上，新石器创始人余恩源首次系统阐释了公司定位从“自动驾驶”向“机器人公司”的转变。    Colombo, Oct 12 (UNI) Sri Lanka should expedite signing Free Trade Agreements (FTA) with major countries like China and expand the current scope of the FTA with India rather than sign FTAs with small countries, State Minister of External Affairs Tharaka Balasuriya said in remarks published on Wednesday.
“At present India has signed FTAs with several countries and could use Sri Lanka as a spring board to penetrate those markets through India," Balasuriya told The Island Financial Review.
“Sri Lanka has signed FTAs with India, Pakistan and Singapore and is currently negotiating an FTA with China, which would immensely benefit the economy. Both India and China are considered countries with high growth trajectories," he said.
“Sri Lanka imports more than $3.6 billion from China while only $500 million worth exports go to China from Sri Lanka. Therefore, Sri Lanka has to look for an increase in export trade volumes in order to reap real benefit from FTAs.
“Further, India is Sri Lanka’s second largest trading partner with the bilateral merchandise trade amounting to about $3.6 billion," the newspaper quoted him a saying.
"Sri Lankan exports to India have increased substantially since 2000 when the FTA came into force and more than 60 per cent of Sri Lanka’s total exports to India over the past few years have used FTA benefits," the Minister said.
“Interestingly, only about 5 percent of India’s total exports to Sri Lanka in the past few years have used the FTA provisions, thereby indicating their overall competitiveness in the Sri Lankan market.
“Therefore, further expanding the FTA with India will enable Sri Lanka to penetrate other markets, where countries have signed FTAs with India."
The Minister went on: “Sri Lanka regained the European Union’s (EU) Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP+) privileges for Sri Lankan exports.
"The trade preferences under GSP+ consists of the full removal of duties on 66 per cent tariff lines, covering a wide array of products including textiles and fisheries. The GSP+ scheme is conditional upon Sri Lanka advancing human and labour rights and on working towards sustainable development.
“Macroeconomic stability and manageable inflation are important barometers for trade with European Union countries. Because of the current 70 per cent food inflation and unstable economic conditions, it will not be feasible to think of smooth trade with EU countries.”

二 | 他透露，截至8月20日，新石器无人驾驶累计运营里程已突破2.2亿公里，日新增里程超100万公里，目前无人车数量超过2.7万辆，居全球同类车队首位。

三 | 按计划，今年底车队规模将突破5万辆，明年预计增至15万辆。

余恩源将物流成本拆解为运输、装卸、搬运三个环节，各占约三分之一，并称全球5.3亿物流从业者年人力成本超5.8万亿美元。

四 | 他认为，自动驾驶仅解决运输问题，而装卸和搬运需依赖机器人，因此新石器正将无人车技术延伸至室内小机器人产品，目标是构建由1000万辆无人车和1亿个机器人组成的无人物流网络，覆盖从运输到末端上架的全链条。余恩源还阐述了构想中新石器围绕物流的四种具身形态：robovan(已经规模化落地)、半具身的装卸搬运机器人、半具身的上架机器人和最终形态的全具身机器人。

目前，新石器已在阿联酋、东南亚等地落地，并计划进入沙特、阿曼及欧洲多国。

五 | 余恩源称，中国无人车在海外市场具有明显先发优势，若叠加装卸搬运机器人能力，有望重塑全球物流基础设施。

六 | 但关于机器人产品的具体量产时间和商业化节点，现场未作进一步披露。
