Award: Veken Cup OFweek 2023 China Robotics Industry Annual Technology Breakthrough Award

Participating companies: Shenzhen Zhuji Power Technology Co., Ltd.

Product Introduction:

Zhuji Power currently has mastered core algorithm technologies including "Perceptive Reinforcement Learning" and is a pioneer company with core technologies for general robots. It is committed to achieving widespread application of all-terrain mobility and general mobile operation capabilities.

After more than ten years of academic research and technological accumulation by the core team, Zhuji Power has possessed leading software algorithm advantages, outstanding core hardware R&D capabilities and cutting-edge AI technology research, and has achieved self-developed software and hardware. It is committed to providing reliable implementation services to the industry with the world's leading general-purpose robot products and technologies.

On the technical level, as a software technology barrier for general robots, Zhuji Power has a deep and unique understanding of terrain perception and motion control based on perception in order to achieve all-terrain mobility. By using a multi- sensor kit, including lidar, RGBD camera, IMU, etc., information about the terrain around the main body is collected, and a high-precision terrain map is constructed with the help of multi-sensor spatiotemporal fusion; the huge amount of data on the high-precision terrain map is noise eliminated and effective data is screened, and finally a height map, occupancy grid, plane segmentation, and structured scene are generated according to the needs of motion control; the terrain information and the relative position of the robot are used as perception information, and the robot's real-time position, posture, joint angle and speed status are added to make real-time judgments and adjustments on the position of the foothold, the size of the interaction force and the speed of movement. Zhuji Power fully develops key hardware in-house, and its high-performance joints have the characteristics of high torque density and high dynamic response, enabling the robot to achieve high dynamic movement and all-terrain mobility. Zhuji Power has achieved world-leading and top-notch mobility in China through the seamless integration of advanced perception and motion control algorithms and self-developed hardware, creating the best hardware solution for legged robots to achieve optimal motion control. Zhuji Power has carried out in-depth industry-university-research cooperation with well-known universities such as Southern University of Science and Technology, University of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to promote the research and development of cutting-edge technologies such as reinforcement learning and mobile operation.

On the academic level, led by founder Dr. Zhang Wei, the core R&D team of Zhuji Power has published many papers in top journals and conferences in the robotics industry, covering topics such as control theory, legged robots, artificial intelligence, etc., with a total of more than 130 papers, including more than 40 papers published in authoritative journals such as TR-O, TAC, Automatica, IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, RA-L, Proceedings of the IEEE, etc.; some application results have been published in top conferences in the field of robotics such as ICRA and IROS, top conferences in the field of artificial intelligence such as CVPR, ICML, NeurIPS, AAAI, IJCAI, and top conferences in the field of automation and machine learning such as CDC and ACC.

In terms of intellectual property rights, Zhuji Power has established and formed a complete intellectual property management system to promote the implementation of intellectual property strategies at all levels, and to explore, apply for, and deploy related technologies to form intellectual property rights and establish technical intellectual property protection. Up to now, Zhuji Power has applied for more than 50 intellectual property rights, including 5 authorized invention patents, 5 utility model patents, and 5 software copyrights, covering related fields such as legged robots, visual perception, and unmanned systems.

Company Introduction:

Zhuji Power is a general-purpose robot company with world-class academic and technical reserves. It focuses on the research and development and manufacturing of embodied intelligence and legged robots. Its products include humanoid bipedal and quad-legged robots and related solutions. Its applications focus on B2B and B2C fields such as automobile manufacturing, industrial inspection, logistics distribution, special operations, and home services. With its strong self-development capabilities, Zhuji Power is committed to disruptive innovation in robots and the widespread application of general-purpose robots.

Reasons for participation:

Based on core algorithm technologies such as "Perceptive Reinforcement Learning", Zhuji Power released the four-wheeled legged robot W1 and the humanoid robot CL-1 in 2023. As China's first fully self-developed four-wheeled legged robot product, W1 combines the advantages of leg-type and wheel-type structures, and is equipped with a number of fully self-developed high-performance joints to achieve powerful real-time terrain perception and all-terrain mobility. Since its release, this product has received active contact from companies in different fields in many countries and regions such as mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Southeast Asia, the United States, and Europe to seek product and business cooperation opportunities. At present, Zhuji Power has worked closely with a number of strategic customers in the fields of inspection integrators, power groups, logistics and distribution, etc. to carry out on-site debugging and pilot application of W1.
