In order to promote technological innovation and achievement transformation in the body-intelligent industry, and to promote the synergistic development of the whole industrial chain.Messe Stuttgart · ShanghaiuniteChina Merchants Lion Rock Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, co-organised by“The ”FAIR plus × Seeking Enlightenment at Lion Mountain” series of events invites industry professionals to each instalment…Experts from within the industry will share cutting-edge technologies and practical experience in the field of embodied intelligence.

On 17 June, the 7thThe “FAIR plus × Seeking Enlightenment at Lion Mountain” event was successfully held. The following guests were invited to attend:China Merchants Group Artificial IntelligenceZhang Jiaxing, Chief Scientist and Director of the Shizishan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory;Yang Hongcheng, Founder and CEO of Langyi Robotics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.; Ma Yifan, Vice President of Business Development at Shenzhen Liuxing Technology Co., Ltd.; Wang Lei, Head of Software and Data Platform Products at Shanghai Daxiao Infinite Robotics Co., Ltd.Attendance.With the evolution and practical application of embodied robot navigation technology as its central theme, this event brought together numerous industry leaders to engage in in-depth discussions on the key technical challenges in navigation, future directions for technological development, and experiences in commercial implementation.

Before the event began, the guests touredChina Merchants Group’s Shizishan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory,Experience first-hand cutting-edge technological achievements such as embodied navigation, multimodal perception and autonomous robotic interaction.

Subsequently,Zhang Jiaxing, Chief Scientist of Artificial Intelligence of China Merchants Group and Director of Lion Rock Artificial Intelligence LaboratoryHe chaired the event and stated, “The ”FAIR plus × Seeking the Way at Lion Hill’ series of events aims to…”By integrating the entire value chain of embodied intelligence—spanning industry, academia, research and application—and by bringing together cutting-edge research and practical experience to facilitate cross-sectoral resource sharing, we aim to inject sustained momentum into the development of the industry.

Zhou Jun, Director of the Secretariat of the Shenzhen Robotics AssociationShe delivered the opening address. Referring to the theme of this event, “The Evolution and Practical Application of Embodied Robot Navigation Technology”, expressed her hope that industry professionals in attendance would seize this opportunity to exchange cutting-edge technical ideas, share experiences in project implementation, and, through the platform, engage in thorough discussion and collaboration to identify opportunities for industrial cooperation. She looked forward to this event bringing together industry perspectives, sharing practical experience, and building an efficient bridge for communication across the industrial chain.

Yang Hongcheng, Founder and CEO of Langyi Robotics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.Share‘Explorations and Reflections on Embodied Navigation’，From the perspective of building a general-purpose spatial intelligence system, this paper analyses the complete technical framework of the in-house developed “Lingjing” embodied navigation brain. By leveraging multi-source fused 3D perception and world model prediction algorithms, it establishes integrated capabilities for robot cognition, decision-making and planning, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of traditional robots in adapting to their environment; At the same time, we are launching a standardised portfolio of navigation hardware products, establishing seamless adaptation pathways for robots of various forms, and providing replicable, general-purpose navigation solutions for large-scale applications such as inspection, guided tours and logistics.

Ma Yifan, Vice-President of Business at Shenzhen Liuxing Technology Co., Ltd.以‘Odin1: The Preferred Choice of Top-Tier Robots’entitled.Taking a holistic view of technological evolution within the industry, this paper systematically traces the development of navigation technology, compares the long-term growth potential of various perception and navigation approaches, and, focusing on the challenges facing large-scale industrial implementation, explores feasible pathways for standardising navigation products and fostering cross-vendor ecosystem collaboration, thereby providing guidance for small and medium-sized robotics enterprises in their technology selection and commercialisation strategies.

Wang Lei, Head of Software and Data Platforms at Shanghai Daxiao Infinite Robotics Co., Ltd.以‘Challenges and Solutions in Embodied Navigation in Open Environments’entitled.This paper elucidates the underlying innovative logic behind the purely visual, map-free VLA end-to-end navigation technology, which, by leveraging the ACE A1 Embodied Superbrain module, enables autonomous navigation over extensive areas without the need for pre-mapping, combined with a cloud-based cluster scheduling platform to form an integrated hardware-software solution, providing a universal technological foundation for large-scale unmanned operations by outdoor quadrupedal robots and broadening the boundaries of embodied intelligence in outdoor applications.

Following the three themed presentations, the event moved into an open Q&A session, with attendees showing great enthusiasm and a vibrant atmosphere of exchange. Embodied intelligence practitioners and laboratory R&D staff in attendance actively raised questions on issues of industry concern, covering core topics such as trade-offs in embodied navigation technology roadmaps, low-cost implementation solutions, and the challenges of adapting to multiple device models. Drawing on their own technical R&D and practical project experience, the three speakers provided detailed answers to each question, sharing targeted insights into the pitfalls encountered during development, scenario-specific adaptation solutions and approaches to commercialisation. This question-and-answer session effectively broke down the information barriers between the technical and industrial sectors; the session was packed with practical insights, and all attendees reported having gained a great deal from the event.

At the end of the event,Director Zhang Jiaxing presented the three speakers with “Special Guest” trophies and posed for a group photograph with them，We would like to thank them for sharing their cutting-edge insights so generously and for contributing to the development of dialogue within the industry.
