Focus on AI and Embodied Intelligence: Key Breakthroughs in the Automation Industry - A Review of Recent Major Events
2026-03-26
As industrial digitalization accelerates towards "autonomous intelligence", the automation industry is embracing intensive development opportunities. Leading enterprises continue to invest in new product R&D, policies provide strong support, and technology application scenarios are constantly expanding. A series of major industry events are driving the industry from "digital substitution" to "autonomous innovation", demonstrating strong momentum for high-quality development and outlining the clear development context of the industry in 2026.
Key Conferences Lead the Way: Siemens Builds a New Industrial AI Ecosystem
Recently, the Siemens Tech Summit 2026 was held in Beijing. As an industry benchmark, the conference focused on the large-scale implementation of industrial AI and released a number of heavyweight achievements. At the conference, Siemens cooperated deeply with NVIDIA to launch a new industrial AI operating system, aiming to transform factories into "cognitive manufacturing", break the barrier between the digital and physical worlds, and integrate AI technology into the entire production process.
Meanwhile, Siemens released an industrial embodied intelligent agent, upgrading robots from "automated execution" to "autonomous decision-making", along with 26 customized products for the Chinese market. In addition, Siemens deepened its strategic cooperation with Alibaba to launch a cloud-based computer-aided engineering (CAE) solution, helping enterprises improve R&D efficiency and reduce innovation costs.
Accelerated Landing of Embodied Intelligence: Boz匠 Robotics Opens a New Chapter in Intelligent Construction
Recently, Boz匠 Robotics held an innovation conference in Shenzhen and officially launched the Embodied Construction Robot 2.0, marking a key stage in the large-scale commercialization of China's intelligent construction industry. The new products cover five series, corresponding to core construction scenarios such as indoor spraying and high-altitude exterior walls, realizing full-process coverage of construction.
The robot 2.0 builds a "construction brain" based on more than 40 million square meters of construction data, with full-chain capabilities including environmental perception and intelligent decision-making. Its cluster intelligent scheduling system enables multi-robot collaborative operation. Up to now, Boz匠 Robotics has delivered more than 5,200 sets of equipment and completed over 40 million square meters of construction, and signed strategic cooperation agreements with major construction enterprises.
Dual Drive of Policies and Market: Continuous Improvement of the Industrial Ecosystem
At the policy level, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "Industrial Large Model Innovation Project" is advancing, aiming to cultivate more than 10 industry-specific large models by the end of 2026 and promote the localization rate of core components to exceed 75%. Local governments also provide support, such as Hebei Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology focusing on key fields to promote the integration of AI and manufacturing.
In terms of market and international layout, Mowei Robotics recently appeared at LogiMAT 2026 in Germany and launched the world's first X20S pallet unmanned forklift. In 2026, recognized as the "first year of humanoid robot mass production", the embodied intelligence track has received continuous capital investment, and the industry standard "Humanoid Robot and Embodied Intelligence Standard System (2026 Edition)" has been released.
In addition, the industry's technical trends are distinct: industrial large models are deeply integrated with edge computing, and the localization rate of core components continues to rise. The application scope of automation technology is expanding, becoming a core engine for fostering new quality productive forces and promoting high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
