BEIJING, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The 10th Maritime Silk Road Port Cooperation Forum opened on May 27 in Ningbo, east China's Zhejiang Province, bringing together leading figures of the port and shipping sector from more than 70 countries and regions to discuss opportunities and challenges facing the sector amid geopolitical changes.
This year's forum focuses on key areas including supply chain resilience, green and low-carbon development, smart innovation and shipping service upgrades. More than 1,000 participants gathered to explore ways to ensure stable supply chain development and strengthen coordinated cooperation across the port and shipping sector.
As risks of fragmentation in global industrial and supply chains continue to rise and volatility in shipping markets intensifies, the global port and shipping sector is facing multiple challenges in maintaining smooth logistics, stabilizing supply chains, promoting transformation and preventing risks.
Jin Jingdong, an official of the Ministry of Transport, said efforts should be made to build an open, smart, green and win-win port and shipping sector, opening a new chapter of cooperation for the sector.
Liang Linchong, head of the Department of Regional Opening-up under the National Development and Reform Commission, noted that the port and shipping sector now bears the important mission of ensuring smooth global trade. He stressed the need to focus on infrastructure connectivity, promote quality upgrades in ports, shipping and trade, and strengthen coordinated cooperation to continuously enhance integrated development capabilities.
David Osborn, director of the Marine Environment Division at the International Maritime Organization, said building resilient and sustainable maritime and port supply chains requires continued investment in green shipping technologies, pollution control facilities and environmental compliance systems. He expressed hope for more practical international cooperation to jointly advance the orderly decarbonization of the shipping industry.
Multiple consensus and achievements were reached during the forum, including the 2026 Multilateral Partner Ports Consensus, and a development index report on global smart ports.
Meanwhile, a number of practical cooperation agreements were also concluded.
It is learned that the forum also held specialized seminars on topics of green development, logistics, smart technologies, tugboat operations, grain trade, legal affairs and maritime services.

One Brain, Multiple Embodiments: 130,000 Pudu Robots Now Operating Across 80+ Countries and Regions
MACAO, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pudu Robotics, a global leader in commercial service robotics, is showcasing its latest robotics innovations at BEYOND Expo 2026, one of Asia's leading technology and innovation events focused on the convergence of AI and the physical world. Alongside the exhibition, Felix Zhang, Founder and CEO of Pudu Robotics, participated in a featured fireside chat at the opening ceremony, discussing robotics entrepreneurship, global expansion, embodied AI, and the future evolution of humanoid robotics.
As robotics and AI continue converging across real-world industries, Pudu Robotics is demonstrating how robotics systems are evolving beyond single-task automation toward more adaptive deployment across commercial, industrial, and service environments.
During the fireside chat, Felix shared his perspectives on several key industry topics:
- The next phase of robotics competition will be defined by the integration of AI models, robotic mobility, real-world deployment capabilities, and scalable commercialization, rather than hardware alone.
- In global expansion, Pudu adopts a breadth-first strategy, entering multiple markets simultaneously before deepening operations in high-performing regions, while emphasizing long-term commitment and localized presence to build customer trust in B2B robotics.
- The physical AI sector is entering a clearer development phase, with large-scale commercialization dependent on continued advancements in generalization capabilities, large-scale real-world data accumulation, and the availability of accessible, general-purpose robotic products for broader deployment.
- To support this direction, Pudu Robotics has introduced its embodied intelligence foundation model PuduFM 1.0 and the general embodied AI agent platform PuduAgent, strengthening the integration of AI models, autonomous mobility, and real-world task execution.
- Built on its "One Brain, Multiple Embodiments" architecture, Pudu is accelerating the transfer of AI capabilities across multiple robotic form factors and deployment scenarios, advancing a multi-form ecosystem comprising specialized robots, semi-humanoid robots, and humanoid robots, each optimized for different environments and applications.
At BEYOND Expo 2026, Pudu Robotics is showcasing a broad portfolio spanning commercial cleaning robots, industrial delivery robots, and its quadruped robot PUDU D5, highlighting the company's continued expansion from commercial service robotics into broader intelligent robotics applications.
Visitors attending BEYOND Expo 2026 are invited to visit Pudu Robotics at:
- Booth: Hall A-C, K03
- Date: May 28–30, 2026
- Venue: The Venetian Macao Cotai Expo
As AI increasingly moves from digital systems into physical-world deployment, Pudu Robotics continues expanding its global footprint while accelerating the commercialization of intelligent robotic technologies across increasingly diverse real-world scenarios.
