President Chen Ze Attends Investor Communication Meeting, Chief Scientist Delivers Keynote Speech, In-depth Exchanges on New Frontiers

From April 17 to 19, 2026, the highly anticipated China Humanoid Robot Ecosystem Conference was grandly held at the Shanghai Automobile Exhibition Center. Under the theme "Human-Machine Integration, Intelligent Manufacturing for the Future," the conference brought together world-leading humanoid robot companies, technical experts, and industrial investment institutions. It showcased achievements in embodied AI robot bodies, core components, key technology solutions, and AI innovation applications, while exploring the critical path for humanoid robots to transition from laboratory "technology verification" to industrial "large-scale application." HCD Group’s Vice Chairman and President Chen Ze, Vice President Xu Xianzhong, and Chief Scientist Professor Wu Dianliang were invited to attend the conference. Professor Wu delivered a keynote speech titled "Digitalization of Manufacturing Systems Integrating Embodied Intelligent Robots" at the "Scenario Empowerment and Robot Industry Ecosystem Forum," systematically elaborating on HCD Group’s strategic layout and cutting-edge exploration in the integration of embodied intelligence and manufacturing systems.

During the conference, a humanoid robot industry investor communication meeting, specially organized by ZHESHANG SECURITIES, was held concurrently. President Chen Ze was invited to attend and engage in in-depth, face-to-face exchanges with institutional investors from various sectors. At the meeting, Chen Ze and the management team shared comprehensive insights on core industry topics such as embodied AI robot R&D, in-house development of core components, deployment of key technology solutions, and innovative application scenarios of artificial intelligence. In the context of broader industry trends, they provided a detailed interpretation of HCD Group’s core strengths, technological expertise, R&D plans, and medium-to-long-term strategic layout in the deep integration of embodied intelligence and intelligent manufacturing systems.

Against the backdrop of intelligent manufacturing transformation and upgrading, the company highlighted its development path of leveraging its accumulated expertise in automated manufacturing systems, increasing investment in the embodied intelligence track, facilitating technological collaboration, and expanding into diverse industrial application scenarios. This clearly demonstrated the company’s positioning and growth potential in the wave of humanoid robot industrialization. The communication was thorough and logically structured, precisely addressing capital markets’ key concerns regarding technology R&D, business layout, and future development, while comprehensively conveying the company’s long-term value. With its clear strategic planning and solid technological capabilities, HCD Group’s achievements in embodied intelligence-integrated manufacturing received high recognition and widespread praise from attending investors.

In his keynote speech at the "Scenario Empowerment and Robot Industry Ecosystem Forum," Professor Wu Dianliang focused on HCD Group’s latest progress in the integration of manufacturing system digitalization and embodied intelligence. He pointed out that manufacturing system digitalization covers the entire process of modeling, simulation, commissioning, and operation & maintenance, forming the foundation of digital twin systems. The deep integration of AI and embodied technology is bringing three dimensions of enhancement to manufacturing systems: at the perception level, AI visual recognition models are integrated into the manufacturing system’s sensor network to achieve multi-dimensional enhanced information perception and AR+AI-enabled complex on-site error-proofing guidance; at the decision-making level, AI data analysis models empower management systems such as WMS/WCS with "brain upgrades," improving the operational efficiency and outbound scheduling rationality of large-scale complex warehousing systems; at the execution level, AI-assisted robot on-site commissioning and unattended production monitoring significantly enhance production line planning capabilities and commissioning efficiency.

Professor Wu Dianliang particularly emphasized that the future core of industry competition lies in real-scenario value creation and commercial closed loop. The future belongs to enterprises that can root themselves in real scenarios, accumulate high-quality data, and build complete industrial ecosystems. HCD Group is a firm practitioner of this philosophy — based on a digital platform for manufacturing system modeling, simulation, and commissioning, the company has established a universal framework for the introduction and operation of embodied robots, striving to enable the addition of embodied robots with no-code or low-code approaches, integrating them into manufacturing scenario modeling and simulation, and making embodied robots truly a category of equipment in industrial applications.

On the technical front, Professor Wu Dianliang outlined the next steps: introduce AI models of varying scales into more specific aspects of manufacturing systems to make the digital platform more intelligent; survey more embodied robot products to gain in-depth understanding of their respective definitions, simulation, training, and commissioning requirements, making the integrated simulation solutions as universal and rational as possible; and, targeting one or two types of embodied robots, improve the integrated simulation functions on the digital platform and conduct application tests in actual industrial scenarios.

Looking ahead, HCD Group will continue to be guided by its "globalization and technology innovation dual-driven" strategy, unwaveringly advancing its internationalization pace. Together with universities, research institutions, industry chain partners, and developers, the Group will jointly promote the industrial application of embodied intelligence, artificial intelligence, and intelligent manufacturing technologies, continuously providing global manufacturing customers with more competitive industrial automation technology products and services. At the same time, HCD Group will remain deeply committed to its core intelligent manufacturing business, seizing opportunities in humanoid robot and embodied intelligence industry development, and driving dual efforts in technological innovation and industrial integration to continuously strengthen its core competitiveness. With high-quality development, HCD Group will repay the trust and support of its investors and the broader community, striving to become a leading force in China’s journey to export intelligent manufacturing to the world.
