en.Wedoany.com Reported - Zoomlion showcased its humanoid robot Z01 at the KOMATEK 2026 exhibition in Istanbul, Turkey, making the robot the centerpiece of the event. Concurrently, Zoomlion's display of over 40 high-end construction machinery products secured orders worth more than 1 billion yuan.
This bipedal humanoid robot Z01 is designed for industrial collaboration, intelligent guidance, and educational application scenarios. During the live demonstration at the exhibition, Z01 completed a full Tai Chi routine, showcasing its capabilities in motion control, dynamic balance, and human-machine interaction, attracting a large audience.
The overseas debut of Z01 marks the continued deepening of Zoomlion's strategic layout in the field of embodied intelligence. Embodied intelligent robots and related industries have become the company's "third growth curve."
Zoomlion holds certain advantages in the development of embodied intelligence technology. As one of the earliest companies in China's construction machinery industry to invest in industrial internet of things technology, the company has built a digital foundation through its AI industrial internet subsidiary, Zoomlion Cloud Valley. This subsidiary employs nearly 1,300 technical and R&D personnel.
Since 2024, Zoomlion has accelerated the R&D of embodied intelligence technology through its integrated software and hardware innovation capabilities, establishing a technical framework covering robot hardware, core components, decision-making and motion control systems, and software ecosystems. The integration of artificial intelligence and robotics technology is driving the intelligent transformation of its construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and mining equipment businesses.
By the end of 2025, Zoomlion had developed 8 embodied intelligent robot prototypes across 4 major categories, forming a product matrix including humanoid robots and wheeled robots. Leveraging the company's industrial application scenarios, these robots have undergone real-world operational validation at Zoomlion's Smart Industrial City, covering multiple processes such as logistics handling, plant patrol, loading and palletizing, pre-assembly, and quality inspection.
At the 2026 Hannover Messe, Zoomlion showcased its embodied intelligence development platform "Robot Ops" and demonstrated collaborative operations between humanoid robots and logistics robots. The exhibition highlighted the company's phased achievements in advancing embodied intelligence from laboratory research to industrial-grade practical application, with a focus on technological progress in real-environment adaptability, autonomous decision-making, and multi-robot coordination.
Currently, embodied intelligent robots have been deployed in multiple manufacturing processes at Zoomlion's Smart Industrial City. Adhering to the philosophy of "developing embodied intelligence with an industrial mindset," Zoomlion focuses on real application scenarios, builds an embodied intelligence data industrial system, and advances the engineering design and production of robots.
