Ta-Shi Zhihang Shines at WAIC 2026: "AWE," an Embodied-Native Foundation Model, Wins the SAIL Star Award; Validating Physical AI Generalization Capabilities Across All Scenarios.
Jul 20, 2026From July 17 to 20, the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2026) was grandly held in Shanghai, where Taishi Zhihang showcased its presence at booth H3-C409 in the World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center under the theme "Building Trustworthy Physical AI." At the event, Taishi Zhihang translated its "trustworthiness" value proposition into tangible capabilities—allowing for visualization, hands-on testing, and verification—thereby propelling Physical AI from a mere technical concept to real-world implementation.

On the opening day of the conference, the "AWE" general-purpose embodied AI foundation model won the WAIC SAIL Award, becoming the only embodied intelligence foundation model to receive this honor at the event. As one of the few foundation models capable of closing the loop across real-world data, world models, physical hardware, and industrial application scenarios, AWE boasts over a million hours of high-quality human data, along with industry-leading generalization capabilities and proven deployment potential.
