In a notable development, the 2026 World Robot Conference kicked off in Beijing on August 19. Mininglamp Technology, in collaboration with Hikrobot, showcased its commercial achievements in embodied intelligence, marking the company's official entry into this emerging sector. During the conference's main forum, Mininglamp's founder, CEO, and CTO Wu Minghui emphasized that the key to the next phase of robotics lies in the "brain," which he described as having two layers: the individual reasoning and decision-making brain of a single robot, and an organizational-level collaborative brain. Wu explained that the ultimate goal of the company's Octo platform is to create "an organizational human-machine collaborative brain, not just an individual brain for each robot."
