A decade of self-deprecating self-defense

Big-brain collaboration, building physical AI's underlying barriers

There is a common pain point in the path of physical intelligence: AI's large model capabilities are rapidly evolving, but the physical interaction underpinnings of robotic bodies, joints, and motion controls are unstable, software hardware adaptation costs remain high, and large teams are in the throes of rebuilding wheels.

At its core, it is competitive to bring the underlying capabilities of over a decade of industrial robot industrialization into the path of physical intelligence, opening up the entire chain of controls, joints, bodies, and physical intelligence models to self-development.

In the first half of the year, RMB 63.9 million was invested in R&D, a significant growth of 147% compared to the previous year, focusing resources on four core areas: xCore, robotic control systems, power control algorithms, key joint components, and AI training platforms.

In the strategic position of Stone, it is not a single robot maker, but a single robot maker.Full-fledged technology empowerers and infrastructure builders in the era of physical AIWith the adoption of the dual-track parallel co-operative dual-track model, the industry's smart development thresholds have been reduced through the endless ROKAE+ open platform.

With a fully open control platform, software platform, development tools and complete SDK documents, enterprises, developers and system integrators can leverage the endless ROKAE+ platform to rapidly develop customized robotics industry applications, significantly shorten development cycles, reduce hardware R&D inputs, and avoid re-engineering industrial chains.

Globalisation is supporting ecological landfills simultaneously. Limestone has set up parts warehouses in nine countries, including Japan, Germany and Portugal, with services covering 13 countries.The products are sold in more than 40 countries and regions around the world, serving more than 1,000 enterprises.It's the first time that I've ever been in a relationship with someone who's been in a relationship with me.

The continuous operation of marine real-world scenarios has both driven the scale of landings and the continuous depletion of physical world data, the continuous evolution of antimicrobial control algorithms, AI models and robotic capabilities, the more widespread applications, the richer the data, and the more intelligent the platforms.

What is the meaning of this verse?

Founder and CEO of Stone Robot‌China and ChinaHe said that in the past decades, robots as the core infrastructure of intelligent manufacturing have greatly driven the automation process in manufacturing. Today, as AI, big models, and perception technologies are constantly blending with robots, robots are evolving from automated devices to intelligent systems with perception, cognition and autonomous execution capabilities. In the future, the core of the robot industry's competition will no longer be limited to single product performance, but will be based on underlying technologies, core components, motion control, intelligent software platforms, and integrated industrial ecosystems.

The mid-2026 report is a key turning point in the development of Silicon Valley: large-scale shipments lead to profitable conversions, demonstrating the commercialization viability of the entire self-development route; smart businesses account for more than 30 percent, and the second growth curve of the signage business is formally formed. In the phase of the human-robot industry from the conceptual to the downtrodden, the competitive focus of the industrial chain is shifting from pure AI models to the physical world's interoperability, mass production delivery, and integrated competition for soft-hard collaboration infrastructure.

With over a decade of industrial robot-heavy software-hardware, hardware-nuclear technology, and large-scale manufacturing capabilities, Stone is coming out of a crisis.Standardized bodyIntelligent peopleHardware+ Open Control Platform empowers the entire industryIt's a different path.
