Zhiyuan Robotics Wins 2026 World Internet Conference Outstanding Contribution Award

Zhiyuan Robotics received the World Internet Conference Outstanding Contribution Award at the 2026 Wuzhen Summit, according to Shanghai Securities News. Zhu Jie, a partner and senior vice president of the company, accepted the award at the event.

Speaking at the ceremony, Zhu said the endgame of artificial intelligence is not screens or the cloud but the factory floor and everyday life. Competition in embodied AI, Zhu added, has moved beyond a race for single-point technologies toward a broader contest involving software-hardware integration, engineering deployment, industrial organization, and governance systems.

Zhiyuan Robotics said it hopes to work with partners across sectors to pursue pragmatic implementation. The company stressed that as embodied AI moves from laboratories into real-world scenarios, engineering capability and industry collaboration will be key to bringing the technology into factories and daily life.

The award comes as embodied AI companies face growing pressure to demonstrate commercial viability and reliable deployment. Zhiyuan Robotics’ remarks position execution and governance, rather than isolated technical benchmarks, as central to the sector’s next stage of development.
