On August 20, HK ROBOTICS (00370) partnered with Guangdong Tiantai Robotics, Shandong Future Robotics, and Shandong Future Data Technology to jointly sign the world's first 10,000-unit embodied intelligent humanoid robot order agreement, setting a record for the largest scale in the humanoid robot industry and enabling the true commercialization of embodied intelligent humanoid robots. Based on this milestone, an interview was conducted with HK ROBOTICS CEO Qin Chen, who provided insights on the company's role in the order agreement, industry impact, and future scenario development.
**Q: What is your company's main responsibility in this 10,000-unit order agreement, and what are the company's advantages in this partnership?**
Qin Chen: In the entire 10,000-unit order, HK ROBOTICS serves as the final delivery partner, responsible for the scenario-based applications of humanoid robots, particularly in home healthcare scenarios, powered by our Hairui cloud-based AI brain. In the current embodied intelligence industry, the real challenge for commercial deployment lies in scenario-specific applications. We can see at many exhibitions that robot companies showcase humanoid robots performing dancing, singing, and other demonstrations, but to what extent can these robots actually free humans from heavy, repetitive labor in real scenarios? HK ROBOTICS' greatest advantage is our Hairui cloud-based AI brain, which enables end-to-end applications and strives for real scenario implementation. Additionally, the company has significant hardware technology reserves in the embodied intelligence field. For critical components like joints, the company is the pioneer of flexible intelligent joints and possesses corresponding technological advantages to meet the requirements for scenario-based application deployment.
**Q: How does your company view this 10,000-unit order, and what impact does it have on the entire industry?**
Qin Chen: Currently, most embodied intelligent robot applications are still in the validation stage. HK ROBOTICS, combined with our Hairui cloud-based AI brain and end-to-end application solutions, can meet the requirements for vertical application scenario deployment, bringing tremendous momentum to the commercialization of the embodied intelligence industry, or rather, epoch-making momentum. In fact, HK ROBOTICS' cloud-based deployment capabilities also demonstrate that the company has already entered the era of vertical, deployable, scenario-based, and scalable applications in the embodied intelligent robot industry development.
**Q: This order mainly focuses on home healthcare robot scenarios. Could you discuss the future strategic direction in terms of application scenarios?**
Qin Chen: Actually, home healthcare scenarios represent just one segment of our application deployment. This order demonstrates that the company has completed the implementation of real cases in vertical application scenarios and is promoting the acceleration of industrial applications across various scenarios throughout the industry. Moreover, the company has already laid out scenarios including security patrol, medical inspection, and education, all of which are actively being promoted for application deployment simultaneously. In fact, beyond this order, the company has also signed 10,000-unit level orders with top domestic medical examination companies, which will continue to be implemented with corresponding deployments. Meanwhile, the company has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Huawei, comprehensively collaborating with Huawei Cloud in cloud technology and infrastructure fields, providing strong foundational support for the large-scale application deployment of embodied intelligent robots.
**Q: Could you discuss the company's Tonghong robot dog project and the progress of the Meinian Health order?**
Qin Chen: The Tonghong robot dog project has brought the company a 1,000-unit order, mainly for applications in general patrol scenarios, with deliveries primarily consisting of quadruped robots. These robots, powered by our Hairui cloud-based AI brain, possess group intelligence and intelligent control technologies, enabling applications in different scenarios such as squares, schools, offices, and office buildings. Additionally, the company's order scale with Meinian Health is at the 10,000-unit level, mainly applied in intelligent medical examination services. Currently, the implementation contract has been basically completed, establishing corresponding scenario demonstration applications.
