There's More to Jiangsu Than Just "Suzhou"! Suzhou Enterprises Shine at World Robot Conference
“Suzhou” fever hasn’t worn off yet, and Jiangsu enterprises have brought their cutting-edge tech to the stage of the World Robot Conference “arena”. According to Securities Times reporters, a dozen-plus Jiangsu-based companies, including Magic Atom, Utopia Robotics, Lekai Robots, and Crab Intelligent, showcased their innovative products and various scenario applications at WRC 2025.
Jiangsu's strong industrial foundation, well-established smart manufacturing industry chain, and excellent business environment have provided high-quality ecological support for enterprises to develop technology and land-based industries. This has attracted an increasing number of top-tier enterprises, accelerating the development of wearable intelligent technologies from R&D to mass production.
The humanoid robot KUAVO (Kratos) from Suzhou showcased a range of applications at WRC 2025, including outdoor delivery, Tai Chi performances, human-machine interaction, material sorting, SMT component output, and reception guidance. The robots demonstrated their ability to operate in various scenarios, integrating 5G-A remote control and "small brain" cooperative control.
Utopia Robotics showcased its self-developed robots Wanda 2.0 and Wanda 3.0, featuring five interactive scenarios: food, drinks, entertainment, remote control, and cleaning. The robots presented their practical abilities in the fields of “eating, drinking, playing, living”.
Magic Atom brought its entire family of robots to WRC 2025, showcasing humanoid and quadruped robots for various scenarios in industries, commerce, and households. On-site demonstrations included "Little Millet" dual-handed adhesive application, intelligent navigation, and MagicDog home interaction, highlighting their comprehensive strength in motion control, autonomous work, and multi-scenario solutions.
Lakai Robots showcased its LUS2 humanoid robot, the first appearance of its MOS series robots with a load capacity of up to 50 kg. The LUS2 demonstrated its "1-second explosive takeoff" and Charleston dance performance, while MOS showed off its high-load capabilities, integrating core component matrices for comprehensive presentation of its full-stack technology strength and product vision.
Lianyuan Technology displayed a robot designed specifically for outdoor family scenarios, the W-Bot, featuring excellent outdoor motion stability. Notably, this W-Bot is the first service robot to appear on the "Suzhou" stage.
Know-how Robots and Ruiliman Robots jointly showcased their cooperative hands 90C and 120S core products. These products rely on high-precision force control, gesture interaction ability, and lightweight high-load features to have been widely applied in various robot companies, including Zhixin Robot, National Geographic Robotics Innovation Center, and others.
Green's Harmony from Suzhou showcased its optimized speed reducer for humanoid robots, as well as micro-speed reducers for dexterous hands, high-stiffness speed reducers, ultra-lightweight speed reducers, high-torque transparent (low-backlash) speed reducers, and high-frequency resonance (low-rotational inertia) speed reducers.
From Wuxi, Yiou Technology previously released a new generation of PHA lightweight harmonic joint modules. This time, they brought out a series of brand-new force-controlled harmonic joint products. Company staff introduced how to achieve force-controlled joints miniaturization, which is an unavoidable issue in the development of wearable intelligent technologies, while this series of products may become the first batch to be mass-produced.
UQI Optics, a shareholder company, relied on its self-developed robot operation system UPilot and robot core controller ACU to launch industrial mobile robots Wali (Wa Li), unmanned vehicles Chitu (Chi Tu) Red Rabbit, and industrial humanoid robots. UQI Optics' vision is to continuously build an end-to-end unmanned logistics system based on unmanned cars and humanoid robots, with the World Robot Conference serving as a platform to showcase more possibilities.
Crab Intelligent, which landed in Wuxi in 2019, started from scratch, developing and producing harmonic speed reducers and joint modules as its core business. In just over five years, it has successfully joined Jiangsu's key intelligent manufacturing companies. Based on these core components, Crab Intelligent carefully crafted a humanoid robot called Little Crab. Within a year and a half, three iterations of upgrades lifted the robot's dual arms' load capacity from 5 kg to 50 kg, breaking industry limits and opening up endless possibilities for industries such as manufacturing and logistics.
Huihe Robot showcased its wearable intelligent robot development platform (Astra Pro), an integrated platform that combines multimodal perception and AI technology, supports ROS2 open-source architecture, and has dual-language programming capabilities. It features omnidirectional movement and cooperative arms' abilities, serving as an open platform for algorithm verification and cross-disciplinary experiments in universities.
