On the morning of February 7, the centralized launch ceremony of Hunan Province's 2025 Top Ten Technical Breakthrough Projects was held in Changsha. As the implementing unit of the "Human-Machine-Environment" logistics robot project,Zoomlionrelevant persons in charge attended the event.

It is understood that the 2025 "Top Ten Technical Breakthrough Projects" launched this time were ultimately formed by the Hunan Provincial Department of Science and Technology after extensively soliciting more than 400 major breakthrough needs and conducting analysis, sorting, and comprehensive consultation and demonstration from aspects such as innovation height, investment intensity, and industrial prospects. The selected "Human-Machine-Environment" logistics robot project relies on Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. and others to develop intelligent robots for warehousing and logistics scenarios as well as an AI-native cloud platform supporting embodied intelligence, promoting the integrated development of the province's robotics, generative artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing.

Intelligent robotics technology has become a new high ground in today's global technological competition and a new engine of economic development. Especially in warehousing and logistics scenarios, robots face complex and variable working conditions and diverse, long-range operational tasks. Achieving precise understanding of and autonomous adaptation to complex environments and operational behaviors is of great significance for improving warehousing and logistics efficiency and reducing operating costs.

The project team overcame five key technical challenges, including full-scenario multimodal cross-scale environmental perception and behavioral intention understanding technology, a general grasping method for multimodal perception fusion control of "vision + force + touch," and a dual-arm collaborative operation motion planning technology with ontology safety perception, and successfully developed intelligent logistics robots for warehousing and logistics scenarios, key robot components, a vision-language-action model library and action primitive library for whole-body motion control, and an AI-native cloud platform supporting embodied intelligence. The project is expected to bring significant economic benefits while also promoting the development of intelligent robots and related industrial chains and accelerating the layout of Hunan Province's robotics industry.
