Early on the morning of March 23, Chengdu Canopu Robot Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Canopu") welcomed nearly 50 guests from around the globe. The robot testing area presented a dazzling array of equipment, with automated welding units sending sparks flying, while the new wheeled humanoid robot—model RHM-T1W—made its public debut. In contrast to the conventional image of a corporate "annual conference"—typically held in a hotel with a distinct separation between the stage and the audience—Kanop’s Global Partner Conference this year kicked off right on the front lines of the company’s R&D and manufacturing operations. Set against a backdrop brimming with "industrial flair," the site visit allowed clients from both home and abroad to experience "Made in Chengdu" industrial robots—featuring the latest products and technologies—at zero distance; in doing so, the boundaries between needs and solutions, as well as between dialogue and collaboration, quietly began to dissolve.
