On June 11, the sixth stop of the "Integration of Education, Science, and Industry – Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Zhejiang University" research tour arrived in Shanghai to visit the headquarters of SEER Robotics, an alumni-founded enterprise. Over a dozen media outlets from central and provincial-level outlets, along with the Zhejiang University research delegation, gathered at SEER Robotics's digital exhibition hall to experience the cutting-edge technological allure of artificial intelligence up close.

SEER Robotics founder and CEO Zhao Yue, along with co-founders Wang Qun and Ye Yangsheng, warmly welcomed the delegation. They reminisced about their academic years at Zhejiang University and their glorious days competing in the RoboCup Robot Soccer World Cup, while vividly showcasing the company's core technological expertise and innovative achievements in AI and intelligent control.

From RoboCup World Champion to Robotics Industry No.1

"Zhejiang University gave us the boundless courage to explore freely," Zhao Yue reflected. "The diverse, interdisciplinary learning environment at Zhejiang University ignited my passion for intelligent control, which led me to drop out of medical school in my fifth year and re-enroll in Zhejiang University’s Institute of Intelligent Control, dedicating myself fully to research in this field."

As the two-time world champion captain of Zhejiang University’s RoboCup robot soccer team, Zhao Yue, alongside teammates Wang Qun and Ye Yangsheng, successfully transformed the innovative algorithms and collaborative spirit from the competition into industrial momentum that empowers countless sectors. Their differentiated approach has truly revolutionized the robotics industry.

Zhao Yue shared with the delegation: "Today, SEER Robotics is the world's largest intelligent robotics company centered on control systems. For two consecutive years, 2023 and 2024, we have ranked first globally in robot controller sales."

Global Robotics Open Platform: The Industrial Value of the "Zhejiang University Model"

The spirit of "Seeking Truth and Pioneering Innovation" at Zhejiang University is perfectly embodied in SEER Robotics's development journey. Unlike many peers who focus on robot hardware, SEER Robotics has uniquely anchored itself in the niche of the "robot brain"—the control system. By deeply understanding common industry needs and standardizing the "brain," the company has successfully built a unique competitive advantage, enabling cross-industry empowerment.

“Technology Empowerment, Ecosystem Sharing.” Leveraging our leading technology and market position in control systems, SEER Robotics has integrated global supply chain resources to establish the world's first large-scale open platform for intelligent robots. This platform validates the transition from competition to commercial innovation, having already assisted over 1,500 integrators and end customers in their intelligent upgrades. It empowers more than 20 specialized industries, including new energy, semiconductors, engineering machinery, and biomedicine, truly fulfilling the company's mission: "Build your own robot fleet within days!"

"As a startup born out of Zhejiang University, we are always grateful," Wang Qun and Ye Yangsheng shared in media interviews. SEER Robotics actively gives back to its alma mater, not only providing high-quality internship and employment opportunities for Zhejiang University students but also feeding real-world industry demands back to university laboratories. This creates a virtuous cycle of "laboratory → competition → market → research," collectively driving industry progress.

From the precision shooting of soccer robots to the efficient collaboration of intelligent robots, SEER Robotics's growth trajectory is a vivid testament to Zhejiang University’s philosophy of "Integration of Education, Science, and Industry." As campus wisdom deeply merges with industrial trends, the innovation landscape of robotics continues to expand boundlessly.
