On May 23-24, the 15th China International Robot Summit Forum and the 11th Chapek Award Ceremony, a grand event in the robotics industry, was held in Wuhu. STEP robot won the "Annual Value Brand Award".
As one of the largest robotics industry summits in China, this event attracted representatives from leading companies in the robotics field and senior experts to participate. Through the collision of wisdom and ideological confrontation, they jointly unveiled the glorious chapter of the annual honor list. In the highly anticipated Chapek Award ceremony, STEP Robotics stood out from more than a hundred participating companies and won the "Annual Value Brand Award", which symbolizes the highest brand value in the industry, becoming one of the most dazzling industry benchmarks of this event.
With the Brain as the Core | Occupying the Vanguard of the "Robot+" Era
At the meeting, Ms. Liu Jing, Vice President and Secretary of the Board of STEP, gave a speech titled "Riding the Tide in the Era of 'Robot+'", which deeply analyzed the core trends and technological paths of the current development of humanoid robots. She pointed out that embodied intelligence is a key manifestation of AI technology moving towards the real world. With the integration and evolution of "brain" (large models, perception decision control systems) and "muscle" (high-performance hardware architecture), the robotics industry is entering a critical window period of technological explosion and commercialization landing.
Liu Jing emphasized that, driven by technologies such as large models, reinforcement learning, and simulation training, humanoid robots are gradually evolving towards universal models, but still face core challenges such as end-to-end control, data acquisition, and the "simulation reality" gap. She further pointed out that the technological bottlenecks in the industry and the core value of the future are concentrated at the level of the "brain", and control systems will become a key force driving the continuous evolution of robots. As a company that has been focusing on control technology for 30 years, STEP is building a multi-level and full chain "robot+" industrial layout based on its integrated software and hardware platform capabilities, its own application scenarios, and industrial closed loop. It is committed to achieving overtaking in the tide of manufacturing revitalization.
Deep Technology Dive | Innovation-Driven Core Competitiveness
Behind stepping onto the podium is STEP's continued deep cultivation in the core technology field. Guided by the principle of 'positive independent research and development', STEP's core robot products, including six axis robots, four axis robots, semiconductor wafer robots, robot control systems, and vision control systems, continuously solidify the company's leading position in the domestic robot field by breaking through bottleneck technologies such as controllers, servo systems, and core algorithms.
Gaining Insights into the Future | Strategic Transformation and Global Layout
strategy map
STEP will transform from a single equipment supplier to a smart factory solution service provider along the three major paths of 'deep scene, ecologicalization, and globalization'. "
Deep scene assault
Focus on high value-added fields such as 3C, lithium batteries, automobiles, and medical devices, and develop intelligent robots with self-learning capabilities. For example, the pole winding robot for power battery production can achieve autonomous optimization of process parameters by introducing digital twin technology.
Ecological Alliance Construction
STEP ROBOT, together with its partners, has launched an intelligent welding robot solution with "robot+AI" as its core strategy, helping shipbuilding move from "experience driven" to "data-driven" and opening a new chapter in intelligent flexible manufacturing.
globalization
The global layout of STEP not only lies in establishing advanced technology research and development centers in Germany and other places, but also in the strong technical strength of New Shida, which continuously launches competitive innovative products through technological accumulation. It not only promotes the automation transformation of industries such as 3C electronics, automobiles, and new energy through cost optimization and intelligent upgrading, but also provides key technical support for domestic robots to participate in global high-end manufacturing competition. .
When the intelligent revolution meets the upgrading of Chinese manufacturing, the robotics industry stands at a historical convergence point. Winning the Chapek Award this time is not only a recognition of STEP's 30-year technological accumulation, but also an expectation for its leadership in industry transformation. From Shanghai to globalization, from single machine equipment to smart factories, the innovation path of this Chinese enterprise reflects the upgrading trend of the entire industry. In the new era of intelligent manufacturing of the Internet of Things, Chinese industrial robot brands represented by STEP are driving the reconstruction of the global industrial landscape with independent innovation as the engine.
