Debuting at WAIC2026: From core components to scenario solutions, Huayan Robotics demonstrates the hard power of "embodied intelligence"

On July 17, 2026, the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2026), themed "Intelligent Partners, Co-Creating the Future", grandly opened in Shanghai. This conference focuses on cutting-edge directions such as world models, embodied intelligence, intelligent terminals, and AI Agents. Global innovative enterprises, scientific research institutions, and industrial organizations gathered in Shanghai to jointly discuss the technical paths and industrial collaboration for artificial intelligence to expand into the physical world.

Huayan Robotics (1021.HK) takes "embodied intelligence" as its core theme, fully demonstrating the company's systematic capabilities, products, and related applications in the field of embodied intelligence, including seven-axis humanoid arms, a new-generation VR teleoperation system, welding, physical therapy, and more. Since the opening of the exhibition, the Huayan Robotics booth (H3-A524) has been extremely popular, attracting visits from industry clients, media outlets, and government teams from multiple regions.

Implementing National Strategies to Develop Embodied Intelligent Robots

President Xi Jinping pointed out in his opening keynote speech that artificial intelligence is a new engine for global economic growth and an accelerator for the transformation of old and new growth drivers. It is evolving from the "digital world" to the "physical world", and we must adhere to open source, openness, cooperation, and sharing to comprehensively promote AI technological innovation, industrial development, and scenario-based applications —

At present, physical AI is becoming the new high ground of major countries' scientific and technological competition. The 2026 *Government Work Report* explicitly proposes to "deepen and expand the 'Artificial Intelligence +' initiative to accelerate the promotion of new-generation intelligent terminals and intelligent agents". Embodied intelligence has been listed as one of the six future industries in the key strategic layout of China's 15th Five-Year Plan Outline. According to estimates by research institutions, the size of China's embodied intelligence market is expected to reach 1.09 trillion yuan in 2026.

Huayan Robotics actively responds to the call of national strategies. With more than 20 years of technical accumulation in core robot technology fields such as motors, joint modules, servo drives, and motion control algorithms, the company has completed a full-link in-depth layout covering everything from the underlying motor/joint modules to complete collaborative robots, and further to related embodied intelligent robot products.

Driven by Physical AI, Huayan Builds the Technical Foundation for Embodied Intelligence

At this year's WAIC, Huayan Robotics takes physical AI as the entry point to fully demonstrate its technical strength and product matrix in the field of embodied intelligence —

In the complete technical map of embodied intelligence, core components such as motors and joint modules, serving as the "power heart" and "bones and muscles" of robots, provide the physical foundation for every precise movement of robots. The torque density of Huayan's Meta-series motors is more advanced than similar international products, enabling humanoid robots to easily cope with high-load working conditions. The humanoid joint modules achieve extreme lightweight and integration, reaching industry-leading levels in high-precision motion control, torque density, intelligent torque perception, and intelligent algorithms.

Based on its full-stack self-developed capabilities, Huayan Robotics has supplied core motion components such as motors and joint modules in batches to leading global enterprises, and is steadily securing a key position in the global embodied intelligence supply chain.

At the level of the embodied intelligence "cerebellum", Huayan Robotics showcased its "modular embodied nervous system" on site, fully demonstrating the development path of Huayan Robotics' embodied cerebellum, including data acquisition systems, teleoperation systems, perception systems (vision, force sense, hearing, touch), upper limb and execution systems, movement and torso systems, task systems, etc. "By standardizing all cerebellum functions into modules, we essentially work hand in hand with partners to lower the development threshold for embodied intelligence applications and jointly empower end-users."

As the core execution components of embodied intelligence, Huayan Robotics' Echo and HY series seven-axis humanoid arms cover multiple load models from 3kg to 15kg. With advantages such as full-joint high-precision force control, intelligence, and lightweight design, they achieve millisecond-level compliant response —

Full-joint high-precision force control accuracy ≤ 0.02N·m

End-contact force accuracy reaches 0.1N

Control box: one unit controls four arms, with a volume of only 152mm × 69.5mm × 112mm

Large hollow wiring channel: 15mm

In terms of intelligence and ecological openness, Huayan's seven-axis humanoid arms natively support ROS2 and provide open SDKs, pushing decision-making capabilities down to the edge side. They can independently perceive deviations, judge abnormalities, and adjust trajectories in real time, evolving the seven-axis humanoid arms from tools into intelligent partners.

In terms of data acquisition and teleoperation, Huayan deeply integrates three technologies: impedance control, spatial following, and VR teleoperation, to create a new-generation data acquisition solution. Torque loop control is adopted to achieve true compliant force control, the spatial following technology eliminates the traditional inverse kinematics solving process, and VR + cameras deliver an immersive "what you see is what you get" operation experience.

Various Solutions of Embodied Intelligence in Real-World Scenarios

President Xi Jinping emphasized in his opening keynote speech that artificial intelligence should empower all industries. Huayan Robotics is putting this concept into practice, demonstrating various solutions of embodied intelligence in real-world industrial and service scenarios —

In welding scenarios, Huayan's AI welding robot builds a "hand-eye-brain" collaborative system: 3D vision perceives sub-millimeter-level point cloud data, the physical AI model analyzes physical parameters such as weld morphology and thermal deformation in real time to dynamically plan the optimal welding path, and the execution layer ensures the precision and stability of every welding action with high-precision motion control that delivers a repeated positioning accuracy of ±0.015mm and a trajectory accuracy of ±0.15mm. Combined with digital twin technology, extreme working conditions are simulated in a virtual environment, forming an efficient and evolvable "digital brain" training base.

In massage and physical therapy scenarios, Huayan Robotics collaborates with Deyi Medical to exhibit an AI physical therapy robot. Taking a deep physical therapy large model that integrates traditional Chinese medicine theories and modern medical technologies as its intelligent hub, and using high-precision collaborative robots as its execution carrier, it integrates core technologies such as 3D vision, high-precision force control, and deep learning to form a complete closed loop of "eyes-brain-hands-perception", creating an autonomous perception-enabled personalized precision physical therapy service tailored to each user's unique needs.

President Xi Jinping pointed out that the core industry of the intelligent economy has exceeded one trillion yuan in scale, and "Smart Manufacturing in China" has become another distinctive calling card of Chinese path to modernization.

In the future, Huayan Robotics will continue to deliver standardized, easily integrated underlying technologies and products, and work with global partners to clear the last mile for the implementation of embodied intelligence!
