China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has put its mandatory national standard for L3 and L4 autonomous driving out for public comment. The draft, Safety Requirements for Intelligent and Connected Vehicle Automated Driving Systems, would replace the old voluntary standard and for the first time set a legally binding floor for L3 and L4. … Read more
As the first unified model in the embodied-generation space, U0 has already validated generation quality, data usefulness and engineering efficiency. In the WorldArena benchmark built by Tsinghua, Peking and others, U0 scored first in the world under an anonymous code, and policies trained on its expanded data lifted task completion by 26.3 per cent in … Read more
Alongside the delivery, Chengxin launched the industrial-focused Xun 3. Compared with Xun 1, it gains sharply on endurance, climbing and autonomy, carrying a 32-line LiDAR, climbing 25 steps, crawling stable on 35-degree slopes, running four hours instead of one, walking about 20 km, and able to intervene by pressing buttons once it spots risk. A … Read more
The inspection suite covers target detection, anomaly recognition, person and vehicle identification, personal-protective-equipment compliance checks and intrusion detection, with thermal and visual modes that flag hotspots, fluid leaks and equipment faults early. It fits manufacturing, energy, utilities, transport, logistics and critical infrastructure, enabling continuous monitoring of large, complex sites. Built for GPS-denied sites Autonomously, the … Read more
The industry has spent two years caught between hype and weak deployment, with launches refreshing motion specs while most firms stayed at hundred-unit pilots. MagicLab argues 2026 is the pivot point where competition shifts from demo effects to hard delivery. Its physical-AI-native approach pairs a self-developed general model with modular products, and this year it … Read more
Dobot plans to raise 1.2 billion yuan, allocating 550 million to multi-legged robot R&D and industrialisation, 250 million to humanoid-robot technology, 100 million to marketing, and 300 million to working capital. With rival Jaka’s Sci-Tech Board IPO terminated in late 2025, Dobot stands to claim the title of A-share cobot first listing, a capstone on … Read more
Scale like this is the sum of long bets on technology, product, scenario and standards, not just capacity. Hikrobot’s path runs from early product lines (latent, forklift, omnidirectional forklift) to a safety controller with the world’s first SIL3 certificate, an omnidirectional forklift with China’s first full-directive CE mark, and a fourth-generation ‘smart base’ architecture, a … Read more
A new national standard effective this July classifies lithium batteries as liquid, semi-solid or solid, with semi-solid also called half-solid and solid meaning all-solid-state. The road map is explicit: 2026 for semi-solid volume production, 2030 for small-batch all-solid-state, and 2035 for next-generation solid-state in some affordable cars. Semi-solid comes in two paths, an all-inorganic solid … Read more
Richard Yu, Huawei’s executive director, called it a ‘generation-leading and comprehensively leading’ product. Unlike earlier HIMA launches built around driving, cockpit and chassis, this pair devotes most of its airtime to luxury: two-tone paint, full-colour interactive lighting, a retractable starry roof, a private drinks bar, an electric shoe cabinet and privacy glass. It is HIMA’s … Read more
The traditional makers carried the export story. BYD shipped close to 420,000 units in July, up 22 per cent, with overseas sales of 179,800 setting a record. Chery delivered 276,800 units, up 23 per cent, and its exports of 202,500, up 70.1 per cent, made it the first Chinese carmaker to top 200,000 monthly exports, … Read more
