Ecosystem envisioned for AI robotics

As up-to-date embodied intelligence technologies and products debuted at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai, experts and industry insiders said that substantial development of the industry depends on the creation of an amiable industrial ecosystem.

During the three-day conference, which opened on Saturday, Hangzhou-based Deep Robotics debuted its industry-level quadruped robot, which can conduct full-process power inspections. It can accurately identify inspection targets, such as power system pointer gauges and infrared temperature, and autonomously assess battery level and charge, achieving uninterrupted operation without human involvement.

Shenzhen Xborg Robotics showcased a heavy-duty robot, the first of its kind in China, that can lift 20 kilograms with one arm, while its own weight has been reduced by 62.5 percent by using aerospace-grade technology. More than 90 percent of its parts are domestically developed, with a failure rate lower than 0.1 percent.
