As embodied intelligence evolves from a concept into a tangible reality, the robotics industry in 2026 is redefining human-machine interaction. On August 23, the World Robot Conference—a major annual technology event—came to a successful close. As a premier gathering in the robotics field, this year’s conference brought together over 300 exhibiting companies and more than 2,000 cutting-edge exhibits, witnessing the global debut of over 150 new products and hosting more than 60 professional thematic activities. At this industry event, Vizum focused on two core paths: embodied intelligence and machine vision. The company highlighted the innovative technologies and practical applications of its humanoid robot series and smart industrial 3D camera series, demonstrating the innovative potential of vision-empowered industrial upgrading.
Deepening Embodied Intelligence: Humanoid Robot Series Vizum is committed to advancing the intelligent and anthropomorphic development of robots. Through the independent research and development of core hardware and algorithms, the company equips robots with enhanced perception and execution capabilities, ensuring that technology serves practical scenarios.
Xiaowei Robot: Precise Interaction, Smart Service During live interactions, the Vizum humanoid robot “Xiaowei” demonstrated excellent responsiveness and execution capabilities. Upon receiving the voice command to retrieve a beverage, Xiaowei achieved rapid reaction and precise grasping. Relying on the binocular recognition system for accurate facial tracking, the robot delivered the beverage smoothly. The fluid interactive experience attracted numerous attendees to participate, making it a focal point of the exhibition.
Inspection Robot: Agile and Flexible, Navigating Freely Designed for diverse operating environments, the Vizum inspection robot showcased delicate human-machine interaction movements such as shaking hands and waving, while featuring an automatic lifting function to accommodate different working heights. The equipment is outfitted with an AGV chassis supporting 360-degree rotation, granting it excellent omnidirectional mobility. This allows the robot to navigate freely in complex spaces, providing highly flexible hardware support for smart inspection scenarios.
Smart Dexterous Hand: Hand-Eye Coordination, Meticulous Precision As the core execution terminal of the robot, the Vizum smart dexterous hand features 16 degrees of freedom and 16 hand joints, with a fingertip pressure of 12N and a maximum extraction payload of 15kg. It maintains excellent motion flexibility even during prolonged operation. Furthermore, the dexterous hand achieves deep coordination with the Vizum vision system, realizing true hand-eye synchronization through visual servoing technology, which effectively enhances the accuracy and stability of fine operations.
Focusing on Machine Vision: Smart Industrial 3D Camera Series In the field of industrial manufacturing, precise visual perception is the key to achieving flexible production. Drawing on profound technical accumulation, Vizum has built a vision product matrix adaptable to a variety of complex industrial scenarios, utilizing robust visual capabilities to address industry challenges.
Smart Welding: Teach-Free Technology Solving Complex Processes Addressing manufacturing pain points in the industrial sector, Vizum provided a live demonstration of a teach-free corrugated plate welding scenario. This solution utilizes dual-position camera scanning, with the platform synchronously performing image fusion to achieve second-level seam recognition. Under the precise guidance of the camera, the robotic arm moves smoothly, resolving technical difficulties in traditional corrugated plate welding processes and highlighting the core value of depth vision in smart industrial manufacturing.
3D Dynamic Point Cloud: Real-Time Imaging, Capturing Every Detail Visual perception is the foundation for machines to cognize the physical world. The Vizum 3D dynamic point cloud imaging scenario fully leverages the performance advantages of the camera, including high precision, high frame rates, and RGBD data acquisition, to achieve real-time dynamic imaging of targets. With its precise capturing capabilities, this technology accurately restores the authentic details of physical spaces, providing a high-quality and reliable 3D data source for various complex downstream tasks.
Industrial 3D Cameras: Panoramic Layout, Boundless Empowerment The industrial 3D camera product matrix exhibited by Vizum on-site includes the ViEye series tailored for welding and the Smartlight Eye series designed for grasping. This product matrix covers a baseline from 90 mm to 620 mm, efficiently adapting to diverse scenarios ranging from precise grasping to large workpiece scanning, and from defect recognition to complex process welding. Featuring high precision, high frame rates, a large depth of field, and a wide field of view, along with excellent resistance to strong light and reflections, Vizum 3D cameras can adapt to harsh industrial environments such as dust and high temperatures, demonstrating outstanding scenario adaptability.
From seeing microscopic details to understanding complex scenarios, and ultimately achieving precise physical execution, Vizum is reshaping the perceptual boundaries of robots with its continuously evolving vision and embodied intelligence technologies. The conclusion of the World Robot Conference marks a summary of phased achievements and serves as a starting point for the industry to move toward a new paradigm. Looking ahead, Vizum will continue to deepen its focus on 3D vision and humanoid robots, remaining dedicated to transforming cutting-edge core technologies into productive forces across various industries and working with industry partners to jointly map out a broad blueprint for smart manufacturing.
