Introduction: "The battle cry has sounded, and a new journey has officially begun!" At the start of 2026, Lingbang Intelligent's "2026 Decisive Battle for Visual Intelligent Agents" annual meeting concluded in a vibrant atmosphere. As our special consultant, Professor Gao from Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, shared insightful observations at the meeting: the reason Chinese companies can shake the world is precisely because of the new era entrepreneurial spirit of "not blindly following authority, pursuing excellence, and aligning with national and familial goals." This was not only a year-end summary but also a mobilization for the future. Upholding this spirit of daring to confront industry pain points, Lingbang Intelligent, from its absolute leadership in the rare earth field, is comprehensively penetrating the four core tracks of home appliances, pharmaceuticals, food, and automobiles, launching its decisive year for industrial visual intelligence with "visual intelligent agents" at its core. In his keynote speech, Cui, CEO of Lingbang Intelligent, pointed out that we are at the center of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In the past, the industrial vision industry was mired in the quagmire of "the amount of intelligence is determined by the amount of human labor"; today, the Vision Agent will completely end this history.
On March 2, 2026, Comau officially launched its new wearable exoskeleton, the MATE-XT GO. Designed for repetitive and overhead work scenarios, this product provides continuous support for the arms and shoulders of workers, reducing muscle load and perceived exertion by up to 50% without restricting natural movement, helping employees maintain more stable work performance throughout the workday. Weighing less than 3 kg, the MATE-XT GO is easy to put on, requiring only 30 seconds to don and 10 seconds to remove, seamlessly integrating into daily production and work processes without disrupting existing work rhythms. This product has received Class II Personal Protective Equipment certification*, making it suitable for regulated professional work environments. Building on the proven application experience of the "Made in Italy" MATE series in the global market, the MATE-XT GO achieves enhanced assistive performance while further optimizing overall weight and comfort for extended wear. Its lighter design and stable ergonomics allow businesses to deploy it without disrupting daily operations, supporting continuous use in various work scenarios. Furthermore, the MATE-XT GO's fully passive design results in low maintenance requirements and a more advantageous lifecycle cost, further enhancing its economic accessibility. This feature not only supports large-scale deployments by large enterprises but also provides SMEs and individual craftspeople with an easier-to-adopt and maintain work support solution.
