On August 15, the groundbreaking ceremony for Leadshine’s South China regional headquarters and its R&D and intelligent manufacturing base for core humanoid robot components was grandly held at the Precision Manufacturing Science and Technology Innovation Park in Dongguan’s Binhai Bay New Area. Leadshine’s senior management, industry partners, project contractors, and mainstream media gathered to witness this pivotal milestone in the company's South China strategy, marking the official launch of the facility's construction for the large-scale mass production of core motion control components. The Leadshine Technology South China Regional Headquarters and R&D and Intelligent Manufacturing Base for Core Components of Humanoid Robots is located in the Precision Intelligent Manufacturing Science and Technology Park within the Jiaoyiwan Sector of Dongguan Binhaiwan New Area. The project covers an area of approximately 25 mu, with a total floor area of about 62,000 square meters and a total investment of approximately 500 million yuan. It aims to consolidate Leadshine’s operational resources in South China to establish a regional headquarters integrating operations management with R&D and manufacturing, while focusing on the development and production of core motion control components.
On August 3, Agibot updated the list of partners on its official website, with three executives—Xiong Yan, Zhu Jie, and Zhang Xiuzheng—joining the core management team. This expansion brings the total number of partners from seven to nine. In response, Agibot told Tencent Tech that the expansion of the management team is intended to provide organizational support for the company's next phase of development. This adjustment coincides with a phase of accelerated business transformation for Agibot. On June 28, the company announced the rollout of its 15,000th embodied AI robot—a milestone reached less than three months after hitting the 10,000-unit mark. At the ceremony, the "Spirit G2" unit was handed over directly to Longcheer Technology for deployment on a 3C electronics production line. The transition from mass-production rollout to on-site delivery aligns with Deng Taihua’s earlier prediction regarding 2026: that embodied AI is entering its "inaugural year of deployment." This signals a strategic shift for Agibot, moving its primary focus from mass production toward real-world application and deployment.
