On October 15, at the centralized signing ceremony for humanoid robot industry projects in Xishan, Wuxi, the iSoftStone Humanoid Robot Headquarters project was officially signed and settled. iSoftStone also signed an agreement with Xishan Economic and Technological Development Zone and Jiangnan University for the Embodied Intelligence Joint Laboratory project. Liu Tianwen, Chairman and CEO of iSoftStone, attended the event and delivered a speech. He was also invited to witness the opening of the Xishan Humanoid Robot Industry Park.
Rooting in Wuxi and Collaborating to Build an Innovation Hub for the Humanoid Robot Industry
With the signing of this agreement and the official opening of the Xishan Humanoid Robot Industry Park, a batch of major projects, incubation platforms, and achievement transformation centers are set to launch. As an important participant, iSoftStone will rely on its Humanoid Robot Headquarters, collaborating with Xishan Economic and Technological Development Zone, research institutes, and industry partners to drive the "chain-like" growth of the robot industry.
In his speech, Liu Tianwen stated that iSoftStone will join forces with Wuxi to leverage each party's strengths in the humanoid robot industry, jointly promoting the deep cultivation and flourishing development of iSoftStone's Humanoid Robot Headquarters in Wuxi. The development of humanoid robots requires the integration of high-end technologies from multiple disciplines. iSoftStone remains committed to innovation-driven growth, accelerating the evolution of key technologies (such as artificial intelligence, multi-modal large models, robot OS, and core components) and refining application scenarioses. In the future, iSoftStone will continue to refine its core technologies by leveraging its rich application scenarioses. It will enhance the generalization capabilities of humanoid robots in complex task environments and seize the opportunity of the Humanoid Robot Headquarters project to accelerate the commercial implementation of humanoid robots, contributing to the development of Wuxi's digital economy and industrial transformation.
Establishing the Humanoid Robot Headquarters to Accelerate Industry Chain Synergy
At the event, iSoftStone officially signed the agreement for the Humanoid Robot Headquarters project. iSoftStone's Chief Technology Officer, Liu Huifu, and Qian Bin, a member of the Standing Committee of Xishan District and Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Xishan Economic and Technological Development Zone, signed the agreement on behalf of both parties. The headquarters will leverage the local advantages of artificial intelligence and 3C manufacturing industries, focusing on the R&D and production of humanoid robots and their key components. It will conduct research on the fundamental, common, and critical technologies and industrialization of humanoid robots, including embodied intelligence, human-machine interaction, machine vision, and motion control.
The specific business layout includes "1 Base + 5 Centers", which involves establishing a scenario validation center, model development center, data collection center, body R&D and production center, and a joint innovation center with universities/research institutes. It aims to build an intelligent manufacturing industrial base, striving to become a leading domestic "software + hardware + services + operations" full-stack, self-developed service provider and manufacturer of humanoid robot embodied intelligence scenario application solutions. The establishment of iSoftStone's humanoid robot headquarters and related facilities will help promote Wuxi's development into a hub for the humanoid robot industry and an integrated industry ecosystem, accelerating the high-quality development of the humanoid robot sector.
Strong Partnerships to Build the Embodied Intelligence Joint Laboratory
At the event, iSoftStone signed a cooperation agreement with Xishan Economic and Technological Development Zone and Jiangnan University to jointly establish the Embodied Intelligence Joint Laboratory by leveraging each party's strengths. The agreement was signed by Liu Huifu, Chief Technology Officer of iSoftStone, Qian Bin, member of the Standing Committee of Xishan District and Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Xishan Economic and Technological Development Zone, and Fang Wei, Dean of the School of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science at Jiangnan University.
The laboratory will rely on Jiangnan University's deep academic foundation in artificial intelligence, combined with iSoftStone's rich experience in the R&D and commercialization of robots. Together, they will seize new opportunities in the development of embodied intelligence and accelerate the creation of an innovative development framework for this technology. The three parties will advance technological research in the field of embodied intelligent robots, using technological innovation to drive industrial innovation, promoting the high-quality development of new quality productive forces.
In recent years, Wuxi has fostered a fertile environment for cultivating new quality productive forces, driven by innovation and focused on enterprises as the main players. As a leading Chinese enterprise in digital technology products and services innovation, iSoftStone continues to increase its investment and presence in Wuxi. Its Wuxi manufacturing base, iSoftstone Computing, and SwanLink's headquarters have all flourished in Wuxi. The signing of the humanoid robot headquarters and the "1 Base + 5 Centers" project marks a deepening of the cooperation between iSoftStone and Wuxi, as both parties work together to advance the industrialization of humanoid robots.
