en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hangzhou JV Micro Technology Co., Ltd. ("JV Micro Technology") and Henan Shenhuo Group Co., Ltd. ("Shenhuo Group") formally signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement in early June 2026. The two parties will focus on the industrialization of specialized robots, jointly deploying intelligent inspection and safety maintenance robots in high-risk industrial scenarios, with a key emphasis on jointly formulating mining industry standards in the field of underground embodied intelligence, creating a set of replicable and scalable solutions. Additionally, both parties have reached a preliminary intention for in-depth capital-level cooperation in the future.

Founded in February 2025 and headquartered in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, JV Micro Technology is a quadruped robot company specializing in specialized industrial scenarios. The company focuses on extreme industrial environments requiring "four protections": anti-magnetic, explosion-proof, waterproof, and freeze-resistant. Its core product, the wheeled quadruped robot MOVENEW P1, boasts a maximum payload of 400 kg and an ultra-long battery life of 12 hours, capable of stable operation in a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C and under strong magnetic fields up to 1000 Gauss. In May 2026, JV Micro Technology obtained the world's first explosion-proof certification for wheeled-legged robots, also the first composite explosion-proof certification in the embodied intelligence industry. Currently, its products have been deployed in nearly a thousand real-world operational scenarios, including public security, emergency rescue, petrochemicals, firefighting, and coal mining. In 2025, JV Micro Technology completed orders worth 110 million RMB, with total orders on hand exceeding 500 million RMB.

Shenhuo Group is a key state-owned enterprise in Henan Province, with businesses spanning coal, electrolytic aluminum, aluminum processing, and advanced materials manufacturing. It possesses industrial real-world scenarios with an annual output of over ten million tons of coal and million-ton-scale electrolytic aluminum. As of the end of 2025, Shenhuo Group's electrolytic aluminum production capacity reached 1.7 million tons per year (800,000 tons/year in Xinjiang, 900,000 tons/year in Yunnan). The group is comprehensively promoting intelligent transformation, upgrading, and improvement of safety production levels, having built 4 intelligent coal mines and 3 intelligent coal preparation plants.

In this cooperation, Shenhuo Group opens its core production scenarios, such as electrolytic aluminum and coal mines, to JV Micro Technology, aiming to verify its reliability and practical value in extreme industrial environments. Underground spaces are narrow, filled with gas and dust, imposing extremely high requirements on equipment explosion-proof ratings and environmental adaptability. Through self-developed high-load skeletal design and joint kinetic energy recovery solutions, JV Micro Technology has built a full-chain technical system from perception to decision-making, and from algorithms to execution. In May 2026, the National Mine Safety Administration and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the "Notice on Carrying out Pilot Work for the Application and Verification of Mining Robots" (Mine Safety Comprehensive [2026] No. 7), focusing on seven scenarios including mine excavation, mining, and transportation to promote robot development and large-scale application. This cooperation aligns with the national policy direction of promoting intelligent mine upgrades and is expected to accelerate the transition of mining embodied intelligence technology from R&D and verification to large-scale commercial use.
