- Chinese robotics — Hardware and sensingGeekplus, Foxconn and others advance humanoid robot deployment at industrial sites
Industry reports highlight humanoid robots performing eight-hour shifts in factories and new bionic news anchors entering media workflows. Concurrently, ABB partners with Itstone and SIEC to scale embodied AI on manufacturing lines by year-end. These developments signal a shift from lab prototypes to verified industrial operations across global supply chains.
- Robotics — Chinese web discoveryIt Shi Zhihang partners with global auto firms to deploy hundreds of embodied robots by year-end
At the 9th CIIE, It Shi Zhihang announced a strategic partnership with a leading global automotive tech firm to deploy over 100 industrial embodied robots by December 2026. The company plans to expand from single-station demos to multi-scenario replication in flexible wire harness assembly and other processes within its partner's smart factories. A new R&D and manufacturing base in Changzhou aims to support scaling production, supply chain stability, and cost-effective mass delivery for industrial applications.
