Multi-scenario application adaptation is also a highlight of Intelligent Technology in the WRC, Intelligent Technology brings with it a variety of variations on four-legged robots including detonation, extermination, electrical patrol, security patrol, guidance blind, anti-explosion, focusing on the five main areas of security, energy, patrol, medical, and civilian life. In the field of emergencies alone, Intelligent Technology has built more than 20 product matrices, including fire detection, search and firefighting, and products into more than 100 fire departments across the country.

Wu Long, co-founder of Intelligent Technologies, believes that 2026 is the anniversary of the landing of the quadruped robot, and customers will no longer accept conceptual products or related transactions, but buy alternative man-made, cost-effective solutions.

In the field of heavy-duty quadruped robots, the D50WS is a special feature of the real-world enterprise, which does not shoot cool promotional films, does not perform floral performances, focuses on R&D and delivery in the field of heavy-duty quadruped robots. At the WRC site, the D50WS demonstrates quadruped-duty robots such as the D50WS, D50, D30 with continuous loads of 100kg, 50kg, 30kg respectively, and the D50WS as an enhanced version with a maximum instant load of up to 200kg to meet the wide-temperature operating requirements of 20 to 50°C.

图片What is the meaning of this word?

It is understood that in 2025, the number of orders for the D50 has surpassed 100 and has served customers in various fields such as electricity, security, petrochemical, customs, industrial manufacturing, higher education and scientific research, and received continuous purchases, successfully completing the export of products to the Middle East, Europe and Oceania.

At the same time, Vita Power has also launched the first major edition of the EDU, the first major edition of the EDU-W wheelchair, two new products mainly aimed at developers, with the wheelchair reaching a maximum speed of 2.5 m/s, with self-development suspension stabilization algorithm, stable compensation for the upside down road, and scenic design for education, retail, hotels, medical, and tourism.

Quadruped robots are more active in the field, because the scope limitations can not be listed one by one, but from the above on-site exhibitions and exploratory exchanges, the landing gear is the most distinctive feature of the Quadruped Robot industry chain, the current Quadruped Robot is mainly aimed at To B/To G industry customers, the scenario is relatively certain, sourcing enterprise budget is sufficient, which is also an important reason for the rapid development of the Quadruped Robot industry chain.

GGII data shows that in 2025, the domestic shipment of industrial-grade quadruped robots will increase by 840%, which is about three times the growth of consumer-grade quadruped robots.



Roll technology, self-development of four-legged robots

Apart from the application scenario, the four-legged robot enterprises active at the WRC have two other development trends to consider: the ability to self-develop and the ability to deliver mass-produced engineered products.

In the past, the domestic quad-foot robotics industry largely relied on external supply chains, core components such as motors, accelerators, encoders, and others to adopt a common outsourcing model, but in recent years, with the standardisation of the difficulty of adaptation, the expansion of enterprise financing, the increase in R&D investments, and the development of self-development core components, small brain systems have become new competitors in the industry.

Enterprises such as Dynamics, Dynamics, Dynamics, Intelligent Technology, Cloud Deep, Pan-Intelligence, and Huawei Flexible are all on their way to self-developing connector modules or driving core components.

If the torque core components have a self-development rate of 90%, with the exception of a few general components, the motor, encoder, drive module, motion step algorithm and other key components are autonomous. Its self-developed axis-to-magnetic drive motor can produce greater torque at the same weight, torque density of up to 240 N; m/kg, providing strong support for robots for high difficulty, high intensity, and high load movement.

I'm not sure what I'm saying.

In addition, Dynamics opted for a self-contained production line to achieve autonomous control of the entire process from R&D to mass production. The two core products, Hypertron-T01 and Hypertron-SW01, have achieved large-scale mass production with the ability to provide stable bulk supplies.
For real-world scenarios such as joint heating, long-duration, wide-temperature range operation, Links selected the joint module itself and redesigned the structural scheme: on the one hand, the motor module uses an extratonal scheme, directing the main heat source to the aluminum alloy casing, so that the casing itself becomes a heat exchanger, reducing the joint heating situation, its D50WS quadruped robot can be controlled for 2.5 hours of continuous operation under 100 kg load; on the other hand, it pursues lightweight, high torque, while achieving a reduction of about 15% in the weight of the reducer, while still reducing the peak torque density of the joint to 120 N m / kg.
In order to ensure torque density, load, and other performance, S.I.O.S. developed the aluminum alloy joint module itself, a joint module weighing only 1 kg that can produce a peak torque of 220Nm, allowing the body to remain lightweight while achieving large loads.

In addition to the hardware level, quadruped robots are also facing a technological architectural shift from traditional motion intelligence, interactive intelligence, to operational intelligence, and spatial intelligence.

For example, in spatial perception, Intelligent Technologies did not choose the SLAM navigation mapping scheme, but instead incorporated end-to-end data drive technology into quadruped robots, implementing hardware and brain closures, completing the evolutionary mechanism of Silicon product deployment - data retransmission - by using more intelligent effects with more than 300 partners.

In the field, Wu Pan Intel demonstrated the ability to jump backwards to a height of 1 meter and vertical to a distance of about 2 meters, behind which is a self-developed heterogeneous size brain division and unified operating control model, which will incorporate walking, running, jumping, climbing, rolling, etc. into the same model.

Although full self-development is not necessarily the consensus of the industry, many of the leading companies have already taken action. It can be predicted that in the next two years, companies with full self-development capabilities and mature industrial landfall cases will continue to expand their advantage in terms of running time without failures, high load weight ratio, non-standard scenario adaptation, etc.

Mass production is expected to surge to 130,000 units in 2026.

Unlike laboratory demo techniques, mass production involves engineering capabilities such as supply chain management, quality control, product reliability, and long-term maintenance, pursuing the same precision and stability as the first 10,000 operations, testing whether the same task can be done continuously, repeatedly, or in a different scenario.
Whether it's rapidly changing product demands or customer response needs, self-building factories, capacity building, and large-scale delivery are being incorporated into development plans by more and more businesses.
In the first half of this year, Intelligent Technologies announced a cumulative production of more than 15,000 smart robots (mainly four-legged robots), and its monthly capacity in June has surpassed 5,000.
Deep Cloud has completed about 3,000 deliveries in 2025, with nearly 4,000 actual production units (mainly quad-foot robots) and currently has an annual capacity of 20,000 units, supporting product R&D, production and delivery through IPD's full process and digital manufacturing system.
With the early introduction of the consumer-grade four-legged robot Vita Power, which officially entered the mass production delivery phase in May this year, orders for the four-legged robot have been pre-sold for nearly 7,000 units, with orders totalling nearly 100 million yuan, and delivered nearly 2,000 units in the first half of the year; in early August, Vita Power also closed a billion yuan order cooperation with its Japanese partner Future Robotics, which will further increase capacity.
Zhang, head of the product business at Xinjiang, said that Xinjiang's modular four-legged robot has accumulated tens of millions of yuan in hand orders at home and about 3 million yuan in foreign countries.
Systemic, large-scale production is the way to reduce costs, and this is the only way to respond to the biggest concerns of customers. Given the mass production capacity, many enterprises have adopted modular design when building R&D systems, which can complete the bulk import of production lines, significantly reduce repair difficulty, shorten repair time, accelerate mass production, and then quickly take over the market.
Based on the development of the Multilateral Research and Growth Model, GGIII expects domestic sales of four-legged robots to be close to 130,000 units by 2026, and Chinese sales of four-legged robots to be close to 780,000 units by 2030, with a compound growth rate of 68.36% from 2025 to 2030, when both enterprise production capacity and industrial chain support capabilities will take a qualitative leap forward.

She wrote at the end:

The hustle and bustle of the four WRC venues is undoubtedly one of the hottest industrial circuits in the world today.

We see that with the help of capital and policies, physical intelligence has gradually knocked on the door of industrialization, but looking at the long history of the entire human industrial revolution, similar to the development of the steam revolution, the electric revolution, the information industrial revolution, the physical intelligence industrial chain is still in its early stages, and the progress of the current quadruped robot may be just a small step.

The next challenge facing the four-legged robotics industry chain after crossing the threshold of lithium hardware reliability and lithium production, is perhaps the adaptation contradiction between product standardization and non-scenario notation, how to really define a product using a scene? how to transition from lithium plant mass production to lithium scene bulk lithium production? when is the time to introduce a multi-use, multi-scenario iPhone moment?

These are questions that the industry may be able to find some non-consensual, viable answers to within the next year of the WRC.
