On July 17, the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference & High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance (WAIC) kicked off in Shanghai. Centered on the theme “Intelligent Partners, Co-create the Future”, this year’s conference featured embodied intelligence as a major highlight across exhibition zones.
As a fully self-developed enterprise deeply rooted in the industrial sector, Standard Robots consistently upholds openness and collaboration.
Standard Robots joins hands with partners to conduct secondary development tailored to diverse segmented industrial scenarios, implement a wide range of industrial embodied intelligence solutions. Together, we explore how industrial embodied intelligence can evolve from standalone capabilities to scenario-based collaboration and deliver tangible production value.
01
Co-creation of Scenarios
Accelerating the Formation of Collaborative Ecosystems
The DARWIN Secondary Development Platform delivers standardized hardware support for diverse partners. It enables flexible adaptation of robotic arms, end effectors and corresponding capabilities according to specific task requirements, empowering partners to conduct secondary development for various industrial scenarios.
(The DARWIN Secondary Development Platform enables partners to realize secondary development for customized scenarios.)
(At present, the DARWIN Secondary Development Platform has been mass-produced and delivered to factories.)
During WAIC, industrial embodied intelligence solutions built upon the DARWIN Secondary Development Platform were showcased live at partner booths.
Partners demonstrated live operations including collaborative loading & unloading, bin transportation, autonomous picking from racks, and bulk object sorting.
Through this joint demonstration, Standard Robots further explores how various technical capabilities can be combined and coordinated to fulfill specific industrial tasks, including:
・How complex processes can be converted into robot-executable tasks;
・How different types of robots operate collaboratively;
・How robotic capabilities can maintain seamless integration with existing production systems.
For Standard Robots, the value of industrial embodied intelligence lies not in the variety of motions a single robot can demonstrate, but in “how industrial embodied robots generate production value.”

Production Collaboration: Shifting from Standalone Intelligence to System Coordination
When deployed in industrial scenarios, the real challenge is far more than getting a single robot to complete tasks.
Factories usually operate various types of robots and automated equipment simultaneously. These devices need to continuously coordinate according to production tact time, equipment status and task priorities to jointly fulfill complete production workflows.
(Conveyor-type and carry-type robots have been deployed on Fuji Electric’s automated production lines.)
Competition in industrial embodied intelligence is shifting from the capability of robot bodies toward coordination capabilities oriented to the entire factory.、

System Implementation: RoboVerse Enables Robots to Truly Understand Factories
RoboVerse is not merely a standalone robot management platform, but an All-in-one intelligent coordination system tailored for smart manufacturing.
Through its three core capabilities: Robo-World, Robo-Set and Robo-Team, RoboVerse covers the full cycle of solution design, simulation verification, project delivery and continuous operation. It unifies the orchestration of robots, on-site equipment and production workflows to achieve:
• Digital modeling of factory environments and operational workflows;
• Task allocation and collaborative scheduling among different robots;
• Status linkage between robots and field equipment;
• Dynamic adjustment and exception handling of production tasks;
• Continuous accumulation and optimization of operational data.
Only when standalone intelligence is effectively orchestrated by the system can industrial embodied intelligence be truly integrated into production and move toward large-scale deployment.
04
Toward the Future: From Robots to an Industrial Intelligence Ecosystem
In the past, the industry kept advancing robots’ native capabilities in perception, mobility and manipulation. Looking ahead, the greater priority lies in further connecting robots, equipment, factories and AI, enabling diverse capabilities to operate collaboratively around real-world production tasks.

As the industrial ecosystem continues to mature, embodied intelligence will gradually evolve from the exploration of single-point capabilities toward broader industrial applications.
Going forward, Standard Robots will continue to cooperate with co-creation partners to explore more application scenarios for industrial embodied intelligence. With self-developed robotic technologies and the RoboVerse intelligent coordination system, we will keep delivering value for the intelligent upgrading of the global manufacturing industry.
