Accelerating the Era of Intelligent Automation: SEER Robotics at the Forefront of Global Robotics Innovation

On October 18, 2025, at the Sustainability Global Leaders Conference in Shanghai’s Expo Park, SEER Robotics showcased its pioneering achievements in industrial automation and robotic intelligence. Co-hosted by the World Green Design Organization and Sina Group, the event gathered global leaders exploring how advanced robotics technology drives sustainable and intelligent transformation across industries.

From Concept to Scale: Defining the Future of Autonomous Robotics


During the roundtable “Exploring the Trends of Scenario-based Robotics Applications,” SEER Robotics Founder and CEO Zhao Yue shared forward-looking insights on how robotics technology is transitioning from proof-of-concept to large-scale deployment. His core message: the future of robotics lies in openness and diversity.

Zhao emphasized that robotics innovation must move beyond the pursuit of “humanoid” appearance toward the optimal solution for each specific scenario. To truly democratize intelligent robots, the industry must lower technological barriers, foster collaboration, and build a global co-innovation ecosystem.


Breaking the Bottlenecks in Large-Scale Robotics Deployment


Q1. What are the main barriers preventing humanoid robots from large-scale implementation?

Zhao Yue:

There are two core challenges:

  1. Sensor Limitations – Current robot sensors lack human-level tactile sensitivity. While autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and self-driving systems rely heavily on visual data, human operations depend on millions of tactile feedback points. Real breakthroughs will come from biomimetic tactile sensors and next-generation materials, enabling precise data for intelligent model training.
  1. Robot Collaboration – The future factory will include diverse forms of robots: mobile robots, robotic arms, automated forklifts, and humanoid operators. To enable them to work together seamlessly, the industry must create open collaboration standards and universal robot ecosystems. As Zhao put it, “No single company can develop all robots, and no factory will use only one type of robot.”


Rethinking the Shape of Robots: Beyond the Humanoid Form


Q2. Must robots look like humans to be effective?

Zhao Yue:

“Not necessarily. The goal is not imitation—it’s optimization.”

Future autonomous vehicles will integrate intelligence directly into the vehicle, rather than relying on humanoid robots as drivers. Scenario-specific robots—such as robotic arms for assembly or AMRs for logistics—will always outperform humanoids in efficiency and cost.

However, humanoid robots will play a key role in complex maintenance and adaptive environments, acting as “commanders” that coordinate other specialized robots in fully unmanned factories.

SEER Robotics’ mission: “Accelerate an open and diverse intelligent civilization, Build your own robot fleet within days.”

This vision embodies a world where businesses across industries can easily design and deploy customized robots for their unique needs.


The Next Evolution: Human–Robot Collaboration in Smart Workplaces


Q3. How will human-robot collaboration evolve in the next 3–5 years?

Zhao Yue:

The biggest change will be in organizational intelligence. Traditional management models treat people as process executors, but AI-driven organizations see employees and AI agents as co-creators. “The company gets better because its employees get stronger,” Zhao said.

SEER Robotics applies AI agents to reshape management processes, aligning operations around customer-centric value creation. For instance, their robot fleet management systems allow teams to tailor automation strategies to regional and customer needs, supported by a unified AI data platform.

This model reflects the company’s philosophy of openness and diversity—empowering creativity instead of constraining it with rigid rules.


Bridging the Digital Divide: Empowering Every Enterprise


Q4. How can we ensure inclusivity in the era of robotics and AI?

Zhao Yue:

The goal of robotics should be empowerment, not exclusion. Many enterprises struggle to customize robots after purchase because of technical barriers, creating a digital divide.

To close this gap, SEER Robotics focuses on:

  • Universal Component Compatibility:
Supporting all mainstream LiDAR, motors, and robotic sensors, ensuring flexible configuration for warehouse automation, factory robots, and logistics robotics.

  • Simplified Development:
By encapsulating complex algorithms and motion models, SEER Robotics allows even non-experts to create robots through its open development platform—turning robot design into a plug-and-play experience.

Through technological inclusivity, SEER Robotics envisions a world where anyone—from SMEs to large manufacturers—can independently build robots that solve their specific operational challenges.


Global Vision: Local Collaboration and Industry Empowerment


Q5. What is SEER Robotics’ global strategy amid increasing international collaboration?

Zhao Yue:

“Global expansion is not optional—it’s natural.” SEER Robotics views overseas markets not as one entity but as multiple localized ecosystems. Its strategy combines refined market positioning with co-creation models that empower local partners.

Instead of simply exporting robots, SEER Robotics shares its core technologies and robot control systems through joint ventures and co-brands. This allows partners—such as forklift or logistics equipment manufacturers—to produce intelligent robots locally, supported by SEER’s robust software and hardware integration.

“Robots are not the privilege of any single company or country—they are tools to serve all humanity.”


Conclusion: Shaping a Collaborative, Intelligent Future


As industries accelerate toward smart manufacturing and digital transformation, SEER Robotics continues to empower global partners to build diverse, scalable robot ecosystems. By promoting open collaboration and lowering development thresholds, the company leads the way in realizing a truly autonomous, intelligent civilization.
