智平方郭彦东沙特发声：通用智能机器人将成下一代智能终端

Core Insights - The largest industrial technology event in Saudi Arabia, ITSA, opened in Riyadh, with Shenzhen-based company ZhiPing Intelligent being the only invited Chinese representative, highlighting its entry into the global core industrial market [1] - ZhiPing's CEO, Guo Yandong, emphasized that general intelligent robots will be the next revolutionary smart terminal following PCs, smartphones, and smart cars, and that competition in embodied intelligence has entered a critical phase [1] - Guo shared the company's development philosophy of "looking up at the stars while keeping feet on the ground," which reflects both corporate strategy and a unique path for China's embodied intelligence industry to go global [1] Industry Context - Guo reiterated the "positive and negative pyramid" data perspective, stating that early-stage technology relies on internet and simulation data, but true competitiveness comes from "real-world usage" [2] - The current focus for ZhiPing is to prioritize "real scene data" during large-scale deployment, ensuring that large models evolve through real data feedback, and hardware is refined through high-intensity applications [2] - ZhiPing aims to provide not just robots but a complete system that includes verifiable scene experience, mass-producible hardware capabilities, and localized data infrastructure to help Saudi Arabia establish an autonomous intelligent engineering system [2] Product Demonstration - Unlike previous exhibitions that featured customized demonstrations, ZhiPing's showcase focused on validating the robot's generalization ability in unstructured environments, using a standard consumer-grade coffee machine [3] - The robot operated without any pre-set scripts or remote control, relying entirely on an end-side large model for perception, understanding, and action generation, demonstrating the reliability of domestic embodied large models in real-world scenarios [3] - This appearance in Saudi Arabia follows ZhiPing's participation in the Singapore Tech Innovation Week, marking another significant international showcase for Chinese embodied intelligence technology [3] Market Opportunity - Analysts note that as the Middle East increases its investment in AI and automation, Chinese embodied intelligence companies with supply chain advantages and engineering capabilities are presented with significant opportunities for international expansion [4] - Guo expressed the hope that ZhiPing's robots will not only be seen as Chinese equipment but will also become integral parts of Saudi Arabia's future factories and cities, establishing a large-scale scene data closed loop through real applications [4]
