On May 17, Shanghai Zhangjiang Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. (“Zhangjiang Leasing”), wholly established by Shanghai Zhangjiang (Group) Co., Ltd., was officially inaugurated. The unveiling ceremony was jointly attended by Zhang Fujun, Party Secretary and Director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Pudong New Area, and Yu Yong, Party Secretary and Chairman of Shanghai Zhangjiang (Group) Co., Ltd.

As one of the first strategic equipment partners, SEER Robotics, a globally leading platform-based embodied intelligent robotics company, participated in the event. SEER Robotics Founder and CEO Zhao Yue, together with Co-founder Wang Qun, attended the ceremony and officially delivered the company’s first equipment order to Zhangjiang Leasing — an embodied intelligent forklift.

Industry-Finance Collaboration Removes Barriers to Embodied Intelligence Commercialization

True technological innovation must ultimately enter real industrial scenarios. However, advanced scientific and technological equipment often comes with characteristics such as high upfront investment, long deployment cycles, and heavy asset requirements, which have become major barriers preventing many enterprises from adopting cutting-edge intelligent technologies.

This is precisely the core value behind the establishment of Zhangjiang Leasing.

Positioned as a specialized financial leasing platform focused on science and technology innovation, Zhangjiang Leasing targets hard-tech sectors including embodied intelligence and high-end medical devices. Through optimized capital allocation and scenario-oriented financing services, the company aims to extend the innovation ecosystem across upstream and downstream industrial chains, accelerate the commercialization of scientific achievements, and establish a new benc
hmark for the financial leasing industry.

SEER Robotics recognized this as a critical breakthrough point for solving the “last mile” challenge of embodied intelligence commercialization. Through the successful delivery of the first leasing project, SEER Robotics and Zhangjiang Leasing jointly pioneered a closed-loop model integrating “equipment leasing + intelligent manufacturing.”

Driven by industry-finance collaboration, financial resources are directly connected to real industrial application scenarios. End customers can now rapidly access SEER Robotics’ advanced embodied intelligent product portfolio through leasing models, without bearing substantial one-time procurement costs.

This approach not only accelerates market penetration for embodied intelligent robotics, but also transforms advanced embodied AI technologies from “high-threshold capital assets” into widely accessible productivity tools, effectively bridging the critical gap between technological innovation and industrial-scale deployment.

Embodied Intelligent Forklift Becomes the First Benchmark Delivery

The underlying reason SEER Robotics became the first delivery partner lies in its globally leading platform-based embodied intelligent robotics technology and extensive experience across real industrial deployment scenarios.

During the product showcase session, SEER Robotics’ self-developed embodied intelligent product lineup attracted significant attention. The series is specifically designed for real industrial scenarios centered around “mobility + light manipulation,” representing a generational leap beyond traditional mobile robots.

Upgraded Intelligent Perception

The system integrates edge-side BEV and end-to-end AI models, combined with a sensor architecture centered around surround-view cameras and LiDAR arrays.

Breakthroughs in Intelligent Control

Compared with traditional mobile robots that rely heavily on rule-based algorithms, SEER Robotics’ AI-driven control framework enables autonomous perception, decision-making, planning, and control in highly dynamic, complex, and flexible industrial environments.

Continuous Evolution Through Data Flywheel

By leveraging continuously accumulated operational data, the system continuously improves model performance, enhancing perception capabilities, decision accuracy, and execution efficiency for embodied intelligent robots.

The delivery of the first embodied intelligent equipment order to Zhangjiang Leasing signifies that this embodied intelligence solution has officially entered scalable commercial financial infrastructure, laying a strong foundation for future large-scale replication.

Extending the Ecosystem Through Cross-Industry Collaboration

The deeper significance behind the establishment of Zhangjiang Leasing lies in extending and strengthening the broader innovation ecosystem across industrial value chains.

Another notable highlight during the delivery ceremony was that the GC1949 gas chromatograph from fellow delivery partner Panna Instruments integrates SEER Robotics’ control system and collaborates with a robotic arm to enable fully unmanned operation across the entire laboratory testing workflow — from sample handling to analytical results.

This fully demonstrates SEER Robotics’ technological extensibility as a platform-based company. Beyond delivering complete robot products, SEER Robotics empowers industry partners through its core control technologies and open platform architecture, driving intelligent upgrades across multiple sectors and showcasing strong ecosystem influence and cross-industry collaborative value.

Starting From the First Order to Build New Quality Productive Forces

Financial leasing is far more than a financing tool. It serves as a strategic enabler for enterprises to optimize asset structures, lower investment thresholds, and accelerate equipment iteration and upgrades.

The successful execution of Zhangjiang Leasing’s first project has established a positive circulation channel connecting technology, industry, and finance.

For SEER Robotics, this strategic partnership with Zhangjiang Leasing secures a key channel for future equipment financing and leasing, while also gaining priority access to financial resources within the Zhangjiang Group ecosystem.

More importantly, under the endorsement and witness of Pudong SASAC and Zhangjiang Group leadership, SEER Robotics has become one of the first embodied intelligent robotics companies in China to successfully validate the innovative path of “Equipment-as-a-Service + Financial Leverage.”

As financial capital empowers hard-tech innovation and industry-finance collaboration generates new growth momentum, SEER Robotics will continue leveraging continuously evolving embodied intelligence technologies to strengthen the real economy. Together with ecosystem partners such as Zhangjiang Leasing, the company aims to build a new engine for integrated industrial and financial development and jointly support the advancement of new quality productive forces in Pudong.
