Company Introduction:

Wuba Intelligent Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. was jointly established by China North Industries Group Automation Research Institute Co., Ltd. and China North Industries Group Zhiyuan Research Institute Co., Ltd. It is a high-tech company specializing in cutting-edge technology research and product development of bionic robots. The company has a registered capital of 300 million yuan and has a bionic footed robot technology innovation team of China North Industries Group Co., Ltd. with more than 100 members, of which more than 90% are from domestic 985/211 universities, and about 20% have doctoral degrees.

Reasons for participation:

Wuba Intelligent Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. relies on the platform of China North Industries Group Corporation and has formed strong technical competitiveness and industry influence in the field of domestic bionic legged robots. The main reasons/advantages for participating in the evaluation are as follows:

(1) Leading professional technology. The company adheres to the "technology-driven" principle. In the past year, team members have undertaken a number of important national tasks, including key projects of the Military Science and Technology Commission's Basic Strengthening Plan, key projects of the Armed Police Equipment Pre-research, and key projects of the Army Equipment Pre-research. They have also made breakthroughs in key core technologies of legged robots, such as high-power servo drives, high-burst integrated joints, highly robust dynamic balance control, and intelligent perception of complex environments. The dynamic impact resistance of the bipedal robot "Dasheng" is better than 0.4Ns/kg during movement. It is the first in China to achieve continuous walking of 1.5km in an outdoor environment and a battery life of 2 hours, reaching the world's first-class and domestic leading level; the L50 autonomous strike reaction time of the quadruped platform is less than * seconds at a distance of 100 meters, and the strike hit rate is better than 95%, which is better than the ability of ordinary soldiers and reaches the world's leading level, providing important technical support for the project demonstration of my country's first legged robot model.

(2) Deepen the application of equipment. The company adheres to the principle of "demand-driven, market-oriented". In order to promote the application of foot-type equipment and subvert the inherent impression of "foot-type equipment is not available" by previous users and industry experts, the team has repeatedly visited the front line and cooperated with the troops to complete the first live-fire military exercise in China in July 2023. The commander of the Western Theater Army praised the company three times at the summary meeting. At the World Robot Conference in August 2023, the company was reported by domestic mainstream media such as CCTV-7, CCTV-10, and Xinhua News Agency. Its views and influence reached hundreds of millions, causing a sensation in the field of robots. In addition, the company also actively connects with overseas markets, participates in overseas protection exhibitions many times, and takes the lead in conducting military trade appraisals in China. In November 2023, with the support of a provincial government, the company reached a preliminary demand intention of 100 sets with a theater. This will be the first 100-set order for foot-type equipment in China. It is of great significance to establish and improve the supply system of foot-type robots, reduce their production and manufacturing costs, and realize technology iteration in actual scenarios. China's foot-type robots will take the lead in large-scale industry applications.

(3) Three major application terminals in hand. In order to promote the high-quality development of the legged robot industry, the company proposed the development strategy of "raising the flag and establishing the position", and was approved as the leader of the industrial bionic robot chain of the Ministry of Information Technology (the only central enterprise), the leader of the list of humanoid operation robots for material transportation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the bionic legged robot innovation team of China North Industries Group Corporation, realizing the integration of domestic ecological resources. In order to solve the difficulty of landing bionic robots, the company proposed the development strategy of "grasping the application terminal and creating an internal circulation", holding the three major application terminals of the 58th Ordnance Equipment Research Institute, Changan Automobile, and Changhong Group, opening up and integrating upstream and downstream ecological resources, and forming an internal circulation of "scenario demand-R&D-manufacturing-internal application", providing loose conditions for the large-scale application of bionic robots, supply chain formation, and technology iteration, and promoting the coordinated development of the industry.

(4) Flexible operating mechanism. The company is constantly exploring new mechanisms and market-oriented incentives. It has increased the salaries of R&D personnel, established an innovation reward fund, and established a market-oriented incentive mechanism to encourage employees to pay attention to market demand and competitive trends to promote the company's product and service innovation. Modern management. It has promoted reforms from the traditional state-owned enterprise system and sought to combine its own advantages with a flat, fast and efficient management method to form a distinctive management method. Scientific research management. It has improved the scientific research project management system, formulated a management system for the entire process of scientific research project application, review, project establishment, execution, and acceptance, clarified the responsibilities and requirements of each link, and ensured the standardization and scientific nature of scientific research projects. It has promoted the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements to create more business opportunities and value for the company. Talent team building. It has formulated a talent development plan based on its own development strategy and market demand, clarified the talent needs and training goals in different fields and at different levels, and strengthened the introduction and training of talents. Through various channels and methods, it has actively introduced high-level and highly skilled talents, and at the same time strengthened the training and selection of internal talents to improve the comprehensive quality and competitiveness of corporate talents.
