On the 16th, CASIVIBOT—China’s first industrial embodied AI robot for quality inspection—rolled off the production line in batches and was delivered at CASI-Huiyuan Vision Technology (Luoyang) Co., Ltd. This milestone marks the product's entry into mass production and large-scale application, effectively ushering my country’s industrial quality inspection sector into the "Embodied AI + Ecosystem Synergy" 3.0 era. CASI-Vision is a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise—recognized for specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and innovation—incubated in Luoyang by the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA). Leveraging over a decade of technical expertise in glass surface defect inspection, the company has focused on building an industrial intelligent technology system characterized by "hand-eye-brain" synergy and released the first CASIVIBOT prototype last August.
As a key comprehensive university under the national "211 Project," Shanghai University excels in engineering disciplines such as intelligent manufacturing and mechanical automation, while actively advancing educational models that integrate industry with education and science with education. Keeping pace with industrial frontiers, the university continuously upgrades its engineering training systems and establishes high-standard, intelligent platforms for talent cultivation in intelligent manufacturing, thereby consistently enhancing students' practical skills and engineering innovation capabilities. To meet Shanghai University's comprehensive requirements for upgrading its practical teaching, Shanghai FANUC has leveraged its deep expertise in intelligent manufacturing technology and extensive experience in industry-academia collaborative education to establish a strategic partnership with the university. The company has developed a facility featuring robotics laboratories and intelligent production line training environments within the university's Engineering Training Center. The platform incorporates pioneering domestic training modules for trajectory planning, assembly, logistics, and machining, while also integrating intelligent robotic milling, precision assembly, visual inspection, gantry robots, automated storage systems, and a complete information management suite. This comprehensive training platform—designed to support teaching, research innovation, skills competitions, and professional certification—utilizes an integrated, intelligent, and flexible industrial-grade design that precisely aligns with the diverse, ongoing needs of engineering talent development in higher education.
The Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology recently officially released the list of exemplary "Robot+" application cases for Shenzhen in 2026; Dobot was successfully selected for its project titled "Multi-scenario Application of Multi-form Embodied AI Robots in CNC Production Workshops." This selection process marks a pivotal step in implementing the national "Robot+" Application Action Plan in Shenzhen, aiming to accelerate the cultivation of benchmark enterprises that serve as models for robotic applications. Leveraging its technological breakthroughs and consistent product delivery in the field of embodied AI robotics, Dobot is transforming robots—equipped with autonomous environmental perception and dexterous manipulation capabilities—into scalable, replicable, and tangible productivity for industries such as automotive manufacturing and 3C electronics.
Siemens has announced a strategic partnership with Jack Technology Co., Ltd. (Jack Technology), a global provider of integrated smart connectivity solutions combining hardware and software. Leveraging Siemens' technology, the collaboration aims to accelerate Jack Technology's digital innovation across the entire garment manufacturing value chain. By integrating Siemens' solutions for low-code application development, product engineering, and intelligent automation, the partnership seeks to create a more flexible, agile, and software-centric production environment. Under the terms of the partnership, Jack Technology will deploy two core products from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio: Intelligence Center X—Siemens’ new industrial AI orchestration software—to implement low-code agent development capabilities via Mendix; and Siemens Designcenter™ software for high-end product engineering and R&D. This integrated solution effectively streamlines product development workflows and reduces R&D complexity, while providing end-to-end technical support for the large-scale application of artificial intelligence (AI) and humanoid robots in the garment manufacturing sector.
