From December 15 to 17, the 2025 (12th) GGII Robot Annual Conference, the 2025 (6th) GGII Mobile Robot Annual Conference, and the GGII Golden Ball Awards Ceremony were held in Shenzhen under the theme “Embodiment Awakens, Intelligence Evolves.” Vizum was invited to join the industry gathering and engage with ecosystem partners on the technology roadmap and commercialization pathways for embodied intelligence and industrial robotics in the new cycle.
Leadership Roundtable: “Resilient Growth” for Industrial Robot Companies
On the afternoon of December 17, Dr. Xiaojian Dong, CEO of Vizum, was invited to speak at the roundtable session “Resilient Growth and Emerging Prosperity for Industrial Robotics.” The discussion followed the industry’s key questions through a well-structured series of topics, focusing on practical entry points for deployment, growth strategies, and future development routes for embodied intelligence and industrial robots. The exchange was highly engaged, with diverse perspectives shared on site.
In his remarks, Dr. Dong noted that since its founding in 2016, Vizum has built two core product lines around industrial demand: intelligent industrial 3D cameras and humanoid robots. Vizum has prioritized its stereo vision capabilities for key embodied-intelligence scenarios—intelligent welding, intelligent grasping, and intelligent machine tending/loading and unloading—continuously providing industrial robots with a high-information-density 3D spatial perception foundation.
He also addressed emerging customer requirements for vision sensors, stating that Vizum’s upcoming product roadmap will further enhance accuracy, speed, and intelligent capability, delivering richer stereo-vision systems to support the industry’s continued advancement.
From “Seeing Clearly” to “Thinking Smarter”: Edge Intelligence and Data Accumulation at the Front End
In response to the question, “How can vision evolve from a standalone hardware component into a learning-capable ‘agent’?”, Dr. Dong explained that Vizum’s industrial cameras do more than output 3D point clouds. They also provide on-device intelligence—delivering RGB color information, high-precision stereo data, and cognitive analysis results. During operation, they complete data storage and accumulation to support the back-end “intelligent brain,” enabling continuous iteration based on real-world, on-site data.
He further shared that for welding applications, Vizum’s upcoming products will cover critical data elements across the full welding workflow, including pre-weld seam information, in-process molten pool state analysis, and post-weld quality monitoring—consolidating these insights into robot-ready intelligent data that can be used directly.
Addressing shop-floor challenges such as “weld-gap variation, speed-strategy adjustment, pass/fail judgement, and feedback,” Dr. Dong added that Vizum has already been capturing and structuring key factors during welding—including molten pool information, seam information, and torch posture—building a continuously learnable data foundation. This supports self-learning in welding, turning “welder experience” into iterative, updatable data at scale.
General-Purpose or Vertical? Building Reusable Capabilities for Multi-Industry Deployment
In the discussion on “general-purpose vs vertical” commercialization strategies, Dr. Dong emphasized that as a component and capability supplier, Vizum aims to develop its products into a more generalizable “intelligent mini-brain,” capable of matching different customers’ differentiated embodied-intelligence needs. At the same time, Vizum is expanding a broader vision-information system from the perspective of data acquisition, reserving capability headroom for richer application scenarios in the future.
Recognition: GGII Golden Ball Awards Ceremony
A key highlight of the event—the GGII Golden Ball Awards Ceremony—was held on the evening of December 17. For its sustained innovation and engineering practice in intelligent welding technologies, Vizum received the Annual Technology Award. This recognition reflects the industry’s acknowledgment of Vizum’s long-term technical accumulation and deployment capability in intelligent welding.
As embodied intelligence enters a critical window of accelerated industrial adoption, Vizum will continue building on high-precision stereo vision and edge intelligence to drive better coordination across the “perception–understanding–decision–execution” chain—serving a broader range of industrial environments and robotic application needs.
