On July 3, Isoftstone Information Technology (Group) Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “ISoftstone”, 301236.SZ) signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Shanghai Zhiyuan New Innovation Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Zhiyuan Robot”) in Shanghai. The two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation in the fields of general robot product innovation and scene demonstration, and work together to promote humanoid robots to general use and serve thousands of industries.

BL0170-PC0010-P Liu Tianwen, Chairman and CEO of Isoftstone Power, and Zhiyuan Robot management team attended and witnessed the signing. Liu Huifu, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Isoftstone, and Peng Zhihui, founding team member of Zhiyuan Robot, signed the strategic cooperation agreement on behalf of both parties.

Liu Tianwen said: “Humanoid robots are the preferred carrier to achieve embodied intelligence, and with the continuous improvement of their intelligence and generalization ability under the support of large models, they will accelerate the popularization in the fields of industry, social services and families, showing great application potential.” Isoftstone takes humanoid robots as an important strategic direction, and will fully integrate its superior capabilities in artificial intelligence to promote the scale of humanoid robots to industrial and family real scenes. As a humanoid robot head enterprise in Shanghai, Zhiyuan robot is in a leading position in the industry. We hope that through cooperation between the two sides, we can accelerate robot technology breakthroughs and scene landing, so that humanoid robots can truly serve human production and life.”

The fusion of generative artificial intelligence and humanoid robots is opening a new era of “embodied intelligence”. Humanoid robots enhance intelligence and generalization ability by accessing large models, which is expected to accelerate the landing of industry scenes and play an important role in a new round of industrial change. As a leading enterprise in the innovation of digital technology products and services, ISoftstone has built a key technology system for robot embodied intelligence through long-term accumulation in the fields of robot OS, hardware research and development, multi-modal large models, and industry models.
