Deep integration of academia and industry, laying a solid foundation for mass production technology. This year's Link Conference will take the FIRST Academic Industry Forum as its core, building a direct bridge between "laboratory factory", gathering top academic and industrial forces from around the world, and directly addressing the core technical difficulties of mass production of humanoid robots and industrial robots. At the international level, global industry leaders such as the Secretary General of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) and the Managing Director of the German VDMA Automation and Robotics Branch visited the scene to share global robot market trends and international cooperation opportunities; At the academic level, a team of top domestic scholars led by Academicians Guo Lei and Chen Xin, in collaboration with the journal Science Robotics, has brought breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies such as biomimetic perception, universal operation, and embodied intelligent large models; At the industry level, core executives from companies such as Tencent, Ubiquitous, Yuejiang, Midea, and Hikvision deeply interpret the commercialization path and technological iteration direction of humanoid robots and industrial robots. The two authoritative reports, "White Paper on the Development of Shenzhen Robot Industry (2025)" and "Research on Innovative Scenarios of" Robot+"Applications", released at the same time, as well as the launch of the first National Safety Emergency Robot Competition, provide comprehensive guidance on policies, data, and scenarios for industry mass production decision-making.
Accurate matching of supply and demand, activating the vitality of the industrial market. The core of this event is "demand driven supply", creating an efficient and convenient supply and demand docking platform, allowing technology to find scenarios and turning products into orders. During the exhibition, 25 industry chain collaborative innovation closed door supply and demand docking meetings were held, covering the entire scene of manufacturing, commercial logistics, medical and health, elderly care services, commercial communities, safety emergencies, etc. Large scale party A companies such as FAW, CNOOC, Vanke, Shenzhen Metro, and Jiumu Kitchen and Bathroom released hundreds of real procurement requirements on site, and technical and demand parties had one-on-one precise negotiations and face-to-face confirmed cooperation. The highlights of overseas docking are prominent, with the European session focusing on China Europe supply chain collaboration and technological cooperation, and the Asian session announcing the government procurement plan for thousands of humanoid robots in Thailand. At the same time, one-on-one meetings were held in Switzerland, Japan, Silicon Valley, and other countries to connect Chinese robot companies with global sales channels and help domestic robots go global in bulk. In addition, 31 open wheat new product launches were held, showcasing core components such as integrated joints, dexterous hands, and servo systems, as well as humanoid robots, industrial robots, service robots, embodied intelligent algorithms, and simulation platforms. Leading enterprises and innovative dark horses competed on the same stage, fully demonstrating the mass production capability and innovative achievements of China's robotics industry.
Ecological collaborative construction, consolidating the foundation of industrial development. The realization of mass production cannot be separated from the collaborative operation of the entire industry ecosystem. This year's Link Conference will work together with top industry institutions to create an infrastructure ecosystem that serves mass production and solve common problems in the process of enterprise mass production. In terms of standard co construction, we have collaborated with organizations such as the China Information Association, T Ü V Rheinland, and the Shenzhen Advanced Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to promote the development of three national standards and two group standards, covering core areas such as embodied intelligent datasets, robot training fields, and humanoid robot wiring harness components. We aim to establish unified standards for mass production and seize the industry standard discourse power. In terms of ecological services, Siemens Xcelerator brings digital manufacturing solutions, and Jialichuang shares a guide to avoiding pitfalls throughout the entire process from prototype to mass production, ROSCon China、 Open source China builds an open source development ecosystem, and T Ü V Rheinland interprets the compliance requirements for going global, covering the entire process of service from research and development sampling to mass production, from domestic sales to global going global.
Enterprises innovate and demonstrate the advantages of industrial clusters. As the permanent home of the exhibition, Shenzhen has become the core hub of the global robotics industry with its complete robot industry chain, leading AI technology, and active innovation ecosystem. At the exhibition site, local enterprises in Shenzhen performed outstandingly: the shipment volume of Lei Sai intelligent frameless motors increased by 10 times year-on-year, and the production line expanded to 3; Yuejiang Technology has independently developed the Airplay VLA large model to achieve millimeter level force control, with over 100000 devices deployed worldwide; Tencent launches a embodied intelligent open platform to help robot manufacturers improve development efficiency; Digital Huaxia and Zhiyuan Robotics jointly launched the "Radish Star Stack" robot service retail station, achieving scene intelligence upgrade.
