Innovation hub displays cutting-edge technology

Have you seen a humanoid robot somersault using its “brain” and “cerebellum” or a snake-like robot with “twists and turns” and a robotic needle capable of “threading a needle?”

Jiading District’s International Innovation Center for Smart Manufacturing and Robotics has them all.

The center in Nanxiang Town receives several groups every day. Professional visitors come here to learn about the cutting-edge trends in the development of the smart manufacturing and robotics industry and seek corporate cooperation.

As a key platform for technological innovation and industrial upgrading in Nanxiang, the center is rooted in Jiading’s strengths.

With a physical space of 10,000 square meters, the co-innovation center connects upstream and downstream industries, fostering collaborative innovation among industrial chains.

Here, companies are in-depth partners. Enterprises are working together in areas like smart technology, brain controllers for humanoid robots and joint modules, which are greatly boosting the center’s growth.

Up to now, the center has introduced more than 70 enterprises covering the upper, middle and lower reaches of the smart manufacturing and robotics industrial chain, forming a complete industrial ecosystem closed loop with an industrial scale of around 500 million yuan (US$70 million).

Gao Fei, director of industrial services at the center, said: “We hope to bring our robots from the laboratory to real scenarios and then introduce mature robot companies in the market.”
