Zoomlion Showcases Robotics Innovations at World Robot Conference, Driving the Future of Smart Manufacturing

BEIJING, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Zoomlion"; 1157.HK) showcased its latest achievements in industrial and humanoid robotics at the 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing from August 8 to 12. Representing its combined role as a robotics user, systems integrator, and developer, Zoomlion presented new applications, core technology breakthroughs, and a forward-looking plan for intelligent manufacturing.

"Industrial and humanoid robots are not replacements, but partners in a new manufacturing paradigm. Our goal is to enable robots to adapt to their environment, advancing manufacturing toward higher quality, greater efficiency, and enhanced intelligence," said Zeng Guang, General Manager of Zoomlion's ZValley Technology Co. Ltd.

Zoomlion's robotics journey spans nearly two decades, beginning in 2006 with programmable industrial robots for large-scale, single-product manufacturing. From 2019, the company deployed adaptive robots with vision and force sensing, supported by an industrial internet architecture to achieve agile, multi-model production.

This capability is exemplified by the Zoomlion Smart Industry City in Changsha, where over 2,000 adaptive robots operate on 300 intelligent lines, producing cranes, excavators, aerial work platforms, and concrete machinery. The facility can switch between models in minutes, achieving high-mix, low-volume production at scale.

In 2024, Zoomlion began exploring the use of humanoid robots to meet automation needs beyond the reach of industrial robots. The company has developed three models, two wheeled and one bipedal, with dozens in pilot operations in machining, logistics, assembly, and quality inspection.

These robots feature full-scene multimodal perception and intent recognition, integrated vision, force, and tactile sensing for precision grasping, and dual-arm collaborative motion planning with safety perception. To accelerate deployment, Zoomlion built a training facility with over 100 workstations and launched an AI-native cloud platform for large-scale data acquisition and model training.

These advancements are embedded in Zoomlion's intelligent manufacturing ecosystem. Its industrial internet platform connects over 1.7 million units of equipment worldwide, spanning 18 categories and more than 600 models, and collects over 30,000 data parameters to create petabyte-scale industrial assets. This infrastructure powers the continuous evolution of both industrial and humanoid robotics, enabling real-time coordination and adaptive production.

Looking ahead, Zoomlion aims to create a new production model through the co-evolution of hardware and software, enabling industrial and humanoid robot clusters to work together and build smart factories with self-perception, self-adaptation, and self-decision-making capabilities.

SYDNEY, Jan. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the new year begins, many Australians are setting resolutions focused on health, balance and long-term wellbeing. While fitness goals and productivity upgrades often dominate the conversation, eye comfort during extended screen use is frequently overlooked.

With work, communication and entertainment increasingly centred around screens, visual fatigue has become a common challenge, particularly for those spending long hours at a desk. Improving the environment around the screen is a practical way to support healthier work habits throughout the year.

Why Lighting Matters More Than You Think

While display technology continues to evolve, the lighting surrounding the screen plays a critical role in how our eyes adapt during prolonged use. Poor ambient lighting can increase glare and harsh contrast, placing additional strain on the eyes.

Designed for screen-centric setups, BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 focuses on visual balance rather than brightness alone. Mounted directly onto the monitor, it combines asymmetric front lighting with a soft tri-zone backlight to create a more even transition between the display and its surroundings.

This approach supports visual comfort during long workdays, whether reviewing documents, attending video calls or working late into the evening.

Designed for Everyday Workspaces

Built for modern home and hybrid work environments, ScreenBar Halo 2 fits a wide range of monitor types, including curved displays, without taking up valuable desk space. A wireless controller allows users to adjust brightness and colour temperature throughout the day, adapting lighting to changing tasks and conditions.

For those looking to make healthier, more sustainable work habits a priority this year, thoughtful lighting is a practical place to start. As New Year's resolutions go, investing in eye comfort is one upgrade that continues to deliver value long after January.

ScreenBar Halo 2 monitor light is available via the BenQ Shop and Amazon, with limited time New Year promotion running from 19th January to 1st February 2026. https://benqurl.biz/3YE2NTo
