Kaitu Technology and Tsinghua University Department of Automation Explore New Ways for Embodied Intelligence R&D Collaboration

BEIJING, November — Kaitu Technology, alongside several other intelligent technology enterprises, held a cooperation and exchange meeting with the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University in Beijing. The meeting featured in-depth discussions on cutting-edge topics such as embodied intelligence, robotics, and industrial applications, with a focus on future cooperation in integrating industry, academia, and research (IAR) and fostering collaborative innovation.

The exchange drew a powerful lineup. The Department of Automation at Tsinghua University brought together core research professors and academic leaders in the field of embodied intelligence. Attending companies spanned the complete industrial chain, from robot bodies and AI foundational platforms to industrial applications.

Professor Zhang Tao, Head of the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University, stated: "The Department of Automation at Tsinghua University consistently maintains an open attitude toward cooperation and looks forward to joining hands with more excellent enterprises to explore innovative paths. We hope both teams can fully communicate and co-create practical cooperation models to promote the deep integration of industry, academia, and research".

During the event, Tsinghua University professors—including Researchers Zhao Mingguo and Associate Professors Pei Xin, Huang Gao, and Li Xiang—shared their latest research progress focusing on embodied intelligence, robot bodies, and robotic arms. Their thematic reports provided a systematic introduction and in-depth discussion on topics ranging from algorithm models and key technologies for humanoid robots to innovative application scenarios.

As a leading global provider of smart material handling solutions, Kaitu Technology shared its latest industrialization achievements in the fields of embodied intelligence and new energy. The company's product series—including new energy forklifts, intelligent unmanned forklifts, and industrial mobile robots—offers green and intelligent solutions for global warehousing, logistics, and industrial manufacturing scenarios. Kaitu’s technical path and R&D direction are highly aligned with the research frontiers of the Department of Automation.

Zhao Ziwen, Kaitu Technology’s R&D Chief Engineer, participated in the discussion and emphasized the complementary strengths of the partnership: "Tsinghua possesses profound expertise in cutting-edge algorithms for robotic cognition, planning, and control, while Kaitu has access to a massive amount of industrial scenarios and data". He noted that the two parties will primarily focus on joint research in areas such as robotic learning, shared databases, and robotic body materials, aiming to "jointly push top laboratory achievements to be implemented and rooted in vast industrial settings".

The successful conclusion of this negotiation further deepened the exchange and cooperation between Kaitu Technology and the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University, opening up new spaces for future collaborative innovation. Moving forward, both parties will continue to deepen cooperation in areas such as embodied intelligence, collectively promoting the integrated development of AI innovation and industrial applications.
