Amidst the vibrant spring scenery of Beijing, with peach blossoms in full bloom and magnolias budding, the 2025 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference, themed "New-type Productivity and Global Scientific and Technological Cooperation," was successfully held in Haidian, Beijing, from March 27th to March 31st.

As a national platform for global scientific and technological innovation exchanges and cooperation, the Zhongguancun Forum brings together top scientists, industry leaders, and innovation pioneers from around the world. It serves as a key hub for global cutting-edge technology dialogue and provides a grand stage for the display of frontier technologies. Embracing the concept of "running the conference through technology," this year's Zhongguancun Forum deeply integrated advanced technologies such as humanoid robots, artificial intelligence, and green and low-carbon solutions. Among them, intelligent robots served as greeters, communicators, hosts, performers, and service providers, becoming the most eye-catching attraction at the forum, further indicating that the era of human-machine symbiosis has entered deeper waters of industrialization.

As a star enterprise in Haidian, Beijing, and a high-tech enterprise in Zhongguancun, Lingbao CASBOT brought its two humanoid robots, CASBOT 01 and CASBOT SE, to deeply participate in the entire forum annual conference. The robots played multiple roles at the forum, from hosting to greeting to performing, interacting with global guests, media, and audiences at zero distance, comprehensively demonstrating their robust cores of deep perception, human-computer interaction, and full-body motion control.

Undeterred by the occasion, Lingbao CASBOT robots were 'bustling around' at the forum.

On the opening day of March 27th, CASBOT 01, adorned with a work permit, greeted global guests and leaders as an intelligent volunteer, displaying an elegant posture and smooth walking gait. CASBOT 01 is the first full-size bipedal humanoid robot product released by Lingbao CASBOT on November 13, 2024, affectionately known as 'Wednesday'. Positioned as a versatile brain-like intelligent robot for multi-scenario implementation, the entire robot boasts 52 degrees of freedom, a computing power of 550T, and an endurance time exceeding 4 hours.

At the Global Unicorn Enterprise Conference on the 30th and the Special Session on Major Achievements on the 31st, CASBOT 01 successively served as the 'intelligent volunteer' host. Its graceful anthropomorphic straight-knee walking and smooth natural language interaction made it stand out, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Notably, earlier in March this year, after completing a new round of funding, Lingbao CASBOT also won the honor of '2025 China's Newly Emerging Future Unicorn' for its rapid progress in commercialization. For Lingbao CASBOT, this is not only a double validation of technological breakthroughs and commercial value but also a closed-loop driving force for its market strategy and industrialization.

However, this was not CASBOT 01's hosting debut. Previously, CASBOT 01 had already appeared on the stage of CCTV, serving as an assistant to host Wang Ning and participating in hosting the launch ceremony of the 'CMG World Robot Skills Competition'. Standing at 179cm, 'Wednesday' is undoubtedly the tallest among humanoid robots. Facing various complex on-site environments and ground conditions, 'Wednesday' has demonstrated strong robustness and adaptability. Behind this is the stable and reliable body and advanced motion control algorithm that give it the confidence to face any scene.

At such an international conference for the global audience, 'Wednesday' was not only able to interact with guests from various countries using their respective languages but also played a game of 'rock-paper-scissors' with them on site. Equipped with sensors such as RGBD cameras, LiDAR, and IMUs, and through the ever-changing 'Star Ring Headset,' it achieved a trinity of friendly interaction with the audience from vision to hearing to movement.

Lingbao CASBOT's deep integration into all scenes of the forum marks that humanoid robots are entering the depths of industrial-scale applications. The new mode of 'robot + human collaboration' hosting also provides a forward-looking solution for future conference and exhibition scenarios.

While CASBOT 01 was busy entertaining guests, CASBOT SE was basking in the early spring sunshine and showcasing its dancing skills. From grass to cement to asphalt roads, this humanoid robot used for daily team operation and control training can complete highly robust walking, running, and dancing movements in complex terrains, presenting a harmonious picture of intelligent technology intertwined with nature.

Thanks to its integrated software and hardware technological strength, CASBOT SE previously won third place in the Humanoid Bionic Robot Race at the 2024 Zhongguancun Bionic Robot Competition Finals for its straight-knee walking method. It is reported that CASBOT SE will also make an appearance at the first Humanoid Robot Marathon on April 13th, competing with many other robots.

CASBOT 01 and CASBOT SE were 'busy working' at the Zhongguancun Forum, showcasing not only Lingbao CASBOT's panoramic technological evolution from the laboratory to industrialization but also its active exploration and innovative practice in the industrialization of China's intelligent service equipment. An era of new-type productivity based on independent technological innovation has quietly begun.

Exploring the Future Boundaries of Humanoid Robots through Full-Stack Independent Research and Development

CASBOT 01, the humanoid robot under Lingbao CASBOT, was able to achieve seamless multi-role switching at the forum thanks to its adherence to the underlying technological strategy of 'full-stack independent research and development.'

Lingbao CASBOT has established a full-stack independent research and development technology matrix for humanoid robots, encompassing the brain, cerebellum, body, and end effectors. At the 'brain' level, it adopts a hierarchical end-to-end model technology route, deeply exploring the technical route advantages of the 'end-to-end embodied large model,' 'segmented decision-making model,' and 'demonstration imitation training skill model' while avoiding their shortcomings. Thanks to Lingbao CASBOT's technological accumulation on the brain side, CASBOT 01 has been endowed with a smarter 'cognition' and more sensitive environmental perception ability. Through the training method of 'from reality to virtuality, data synthesis, mixed training, and then from virtuality to reality,' CASBOT 01 possesses intelligent decision-making and autonomous evolution capabilities.

At the motion control level, Lingbao CASBOT's 'cerebellum' system innovatively integrates adversarial motion priors with the Whole-Body Control (WBC) framework, achieving precise whole-body integrated control in complex dynamic environments. Based on the traditional reinforcement learning training framework, Lingbao CASBOT simultaneously trains a Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning (GAIL) network, with the generator and discriminator continuously competing, enabling the model to generate highly anthropomorphic motion control strategies.

With a smart 'brain' and a flexible 'cerebellum,' all that's left is a stable 'body' and a finely operating 'end effector' to bridge the last millimeter for humanoid robots to enter the physical world.

In terms of body structure design, Lingbao CASBOT has independently developed integrated joints in three major series: planetary, harmonic, and linear, with a peak torque density of up to 207Nm/kg and joint efficiency exceeding 80%. The joints use force control optimization strategies based on current or sensors, supplemented by model tracking control, adopting vibration suppression, inertia identification, friction compensation, and 'gain self-tuning' technologies to achieve high-precision 'torque loop' control effects.

The dexterous end effector adopts a highly compact integrated mechanism configuration and a biomimetic design integrating the drive-transmission-sensing-control system. With a multi-source sensing system (tactile-force-vision) as the design concept, combined with optimization algorithms, it achieves long-term fine operations, overcoming the dual challenges of 'dexterity' and 'operation.'

Supported by an independently controllable full-stack technology base, CASBOT 01 achieves high-performance whole-body integrated control and long-term dexterous operation, further broadening the potential frontiers of humanoid robot applications at the industrial level.

Collaborating with Upstream and Downstream Industries to Build New-type Productivity

When technology and innovation become the enduring themes of the Zhongguancun Forum, it heralds not only the need to strengthen individual innovation but also the joint efforts of multiple parties to accelerate the advent of the future.

Lingbao CASBOT has always been on the journey of collaborating with multiple parties in the industry to accelerate the large-scale implementation of new-type productivity. Guided by scenario needs, it insists on solving real-world problems, promoting embodied intelligence from the 'stage' to practical applications.

Currently, Lingbao CASBOT has started delivering complete humanoid robots and has accumulated partners in various fields such as industrial manufacturing, underground energy, and commercial services, continuously accumulating industry know-how and exploring the boundaries of humanoid robot applications with partners. Whether it is the 'Spark Plan' with Lenovo for industrial manufacturing scenarios on flexible production lines, the collaboration with CITIC Heavy Industries to create fully domestically produced special humanoid robots, or the cooperation with RoboSense on visual sensors and operational solutions, Lingbao CASBOT is verifying the practical application capabilities of humanoid robots in real scenarios and exploring the technical limits of embodied intelligence. As a benchmark 'new incision' in the industry, it cuts into the deep integration of industry and humanoid robots, represents a new paradigm for future smart factories, and maps out new production relations in the era of comprehensive intelligence.

The Zhongguancun Forum's enduring quest for scientific and technological collaborative innovation has already been embodied in many cutting-edge technological innovators. Every dynamic trajectory of CASBOT 01 and CASBOT SE at the forum concretely represents Lingbao CASBOT's brand vision of 'unleashing human potential through intelligent technology' and its philosophical contemplation on 'being human' with millimeter-level motion precision. Guided by the principle of 'starting with the end in mind' and always using scenario penetration as the iteration benchmark, Lingbao CASBOT is blazing a new trail for human-machine symbiosis.
