Transforming Intelligent Manufacturing with SUYUAN
Showcasing full-spectrum industrial capabilities in core technology development to integrated solutions, Shanghai Electric drives the next-generation industrial revolution through a comprehensive industry chain strategy.
During its global introduction at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Shanghai Electric (SEHK: 2727, SSE: 601727) proudly presented its first self-developed industrial humanoid robot, "SUYUAN." This innovative robot was unveiled amidst a backdrop of advanced technologies and evolving industrial landscapes.
Design and Capabilities of SUYUAN
Equipped with 38 degrees of freedom (DoF) and 275 TOPS of on-device computation power, SUYUAN demonstrates remarkable precision in operations and adaptability in various industrial applications. This significant step forward in humanoid robotics enhances Shanghai Electric's comprehensive value chain for industrial solutions.
SUYUAN is meticulously designed with human-like proportions, standing 167 cm tall and weighing 50 kg, allowing it to maneuver effectively in multifaceted industrial environments. The 38-DoF articulation ensures exceptional dexterity, enabling it to perform both delicate tasks and more extensive movements with ease.
With the capability to handle a total cargo of 10 kg and lift objects weighing up to 2 kg with a single arm, SUYUAN is ideally suited for logistics and assembly line functions. Its operational efficiency is further highlighted by its movement speed of 5 km/h, which allows it to work swiftly in dynamic settings.
Advanced Technologies for Enhanced Performance
Integrating advanced LiDAR and binocular vision technologies, SUYUAN achieves self-guided mobility. Powered by a robust AI processor with 275 TOPS, it enables rapid data analysis and integrates with high-level models for intuitive task management and adaptable object manipulation.
During pilot testing, SUYUAN successfully demonstrated its capabilities by autonomously identifying, positioning, picking, and relocating crates of varying sizes, thus significantly improving warehouse productivity in real-time applications.
Driving the Future of Intelligent Manufacturing
The industrial revolution, particularly in high-end equipment manufacturing, increasingly relies on the application of cutting-edge technological advancements. At WAIC 2025, Shanghai Electric's "LINGKE" dual-arm robot captivated audiences by tackling complex manufacturing challenges with unprecedented precision, adaptive collaboration, and robust data integration capabilities.
Unlike traditional human labor replacement, LINGKE enhances worker efficiency by employing bimanual coordination and controlled force techniques, transforming workflow dynamics while freeing employees from repetitive tasks. This robot’s advanced closed-loop technology utilizes operational data to create self-optimizing workflows through a sophisticated cycle of data cleansing, model training, and live deployment.
Pioneering Innovation Through Joint Ventures
At WAIC 2025, a significant partnership was forged between Shanghai Electric and Johnson Electric, highlighting their commitment to advancing humanoid robotics. This collaboration showcased groundbreaking robots along with new hardware modules and innovative system integration solutions.
The joint venture introduced state-of-the-art rotary joints, linear joints, and dexterous finger joints for next-generation robots. These innovations promise precise, quiet, and intelligent motions, enabling a broader spectrum of applications across industries.
Strengthening this venture, Shanghai Electric also secured two strategic partnerships: initiating a first-unit supply agreement with the National and Local Co-Built Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center and partnering with Fourier Robotics for product cooperation.
Investing in the Future of Humanoid Robotics
