This Domestic Company Develops a Universal Embodied Intelligence Technology Stack}

Breaking down the key to robot intelligence: eyes + brain + hands.

Embodied Intelligence is a highly popular field in AI: giving large models a physical body to perceive the real world, enabling robots to perform complex tasks previously thought impossible.

Since the explosion of large language models (LLMs), many star robotics companies targeting embodied intelligence have emerged, making headlines one after another. However, some experts still say we haven't seen a true 'ChatGPT' for robots yet.

The form that embodied intelligence will take remains uncertain. But at WAIC 2025, the concept has become clearer.

Unlimited forms and task modes   Truly universal AI

This year's WAIC was bustling, with many robots on display. Notably, one booth showcased most of the recent practical robot forms.

Traditionally, robots struggle with handling soft objects. But at this booth, a robot demonstrated folding clothes in a simulated home environment, performing a series of complex, continuous actions smoothly and human-like.

Two dexterous five-finger hands perform automatic recognition and manipulation of a vast array of real objects. They can read handwritten labels, identify concepts like 'Minions are toys' or 'Capybaras are animals,' and accurately grasp and categorize objects.

Robots can understand human natural language commands. You don't need to give precise prompts; they can sort vegetables and fruits, distinguish carnivores from herbivores, and more.

      ^{They can even perform basic calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division based on new labels or color codes.}

This industrial robot can autonomously decide how to work with a box of disorganized items, identifying and sorting each item at unprecedented speed.

      ^{Any object can be quickly grasped by the robot.}

Even transparent objects can be accurately recognized and picked up by the robot.

      ^{In a simulated commercial scenario, a human orders via an iPad at the service desk, and the humanoid robot autonomously plans routes and quickly retrieves the requested items from shelves.}

      ^{The humanoid robot in the store is working systematically among various other robots, demonstrating near-human understanding, reasoning, and operation capabilities, handling massive real objects, recognizing transparent items, and completing complex flexible tasks at high speed and versatility.}

All these advanced technologies are developed by the domestic tech company Mech-Mind, which showcased its full-stack general robot 'Eye-Brain-Hand' technology at WAIC for the first time.

“Eye-Brain-Hand” integration   True embodied intelligence

Mech-Mind’s robots at WAIC 2025 are equipped with high-precision 3D cameras and Mech-Hand bionic five-finger dexterous hands, processing real-world data through multimodal large models to understand, plan, and execute tasks autonomously.

These robots utilize high-precision 3D vision cameras to perceive the environment, process data with multimodal large models, and perform diverse tasks with high flexibility and intelligence.

Mech-Mind’s core technology focuses on building a universal AI brain and flexible hardware, adaptable to various robot forms like single-arm, dual-arm, or humanoid, with self-perception, planning, and decision-making capabilities for diverse applications.

With standardized AI brain, 3D vision, and dexterous hands, robots can understand, reason, and execute complex tasks efficiently, recognizing many common objects with rich data and AI algorithms.

Since its founding in 2016, Mech-Mind has been committed to productization, continuously upgrading its technology. Its high-precision 3D cameras and AI software are highly standardized and open, providing universal interfaces compatible with dozens of brands and thousands of robot models, facilitating quick integration into industrial systems.

Mech-Mind engineers aim to make robots truly capable of doing their jobs well.

Future of Embodied Intelligence   More Application Scenarios

Recently, large models like Grok-4, Kimi K2, and Step-3 have sparked a new wave of technological progress in AI, fueling confidence in general-purpose AI. In robotics, major companies like Meituan and JD are investing heavily, exploring new applications in retail, logistics, and services.

Globally, manufacturing and service industries with billions of workers still face a major bottleneck: insufficient automation and intelligence. The question remains: which company's technology will become the 'ChatGPT' of robotics?

While large models provide a direction for general-purpose robots, many challenges remain in scaling from demonstration to large-scale deployment, including industry chain restructuring and customer scenario development.

As CEO Shao Tianlan states, this path is high-threshold and difficult. Yet, Mech-Mind has already achieved cross-industry, multi-scenario, large-scale deployment, focusing on the core capabilities of 'Eye-Brain-Hand' to promote broad application across sectors.

Over the past eight years, Mech-Mind’s AI-powered robots have been widely used in logistics, automotive, home appliances, and other fields, performing tasks like loading/unloading, packaging, high-precision positioning, assembly, defect detection, measurement, and welding.

It is reported that over 15,000 units of Mech-Mind’s 'AI Brain + 3D Vision' solutions have been deployed globally, maintaining the top market share in China’s niche sectors over the past five years, with expected deployment to exceed 10,000 units this year.

Mech-Mind is the world’s first company to achieve large-scale manufacturing and deployment of intelligent robots in manufacturing and logistics, making it the largest unicorn in the 'AI + Robotics' field worldwide.

Through its self-developed core AI technologies, Mech-Mind aims to enable robots with better understanding, reasoning, and learning abilities, handling complex tasks and massive objects more generally and practically, pushing robotics from industrial to broader applications, including home and service sectors.

Perhaps soon, embodied intelligent robots will become accessible everyday helpers.
