/PRZWT/In the main direction of the evolution of manufacturing industry intelligence, "embodied intelligence" is becoming the next consensus for its intelligent development. 

This consensus clearly points to two major industries: The automotive industry is seeking intelligent entities with perception and decision-making capabilities to cope with the complex scenarios of flexible manufacturing; while the robotics industry is achieving the "embodied" evolution from program execution to autonomous adaptation through breakthroughs in environmental perception and cognitive abilities. 

When the flexibility challenges in automobile manufacturing collided with the intelligentization breakthrough of robots, a new window for reshaping the manufacturing paradigm has already opened up. 

How to transform cutting-edge embodied intelligence technologies into standardized solutions that are affordable and easy to deploy for automotive industry customers is the key threshold for commercialization. 

Standing at the forefront of this era, Changguangxi Intelligent Manufacturing has established a clear and firm core strategy - with "automotive intelligent components + collaborative robots" as the dual driving forces, it builds a closed loop of "industrial control + process" for intelligent manufacturing, and promotes the practical implementation and value creation of embodied intelligence in the high-end manufacturing field. 

At the core of strategy lies the commonality and mutual growth of technologies. 

"High reliability, real-time control, and strong anti-interference capabilities are the common technical features of both." Wang Gang, the general manager of Changguangxi Intelligent Manufacturing, pointed out that whether it is automotive intelligent components or collaborative robots, they all focus on motion control. The servo and motion controllers of collaborative robots have been extended to automotive intelligent components, and the high reliability design of the drive system and traditional mechanisms of automotive intelligent components can also be applied to the production process of collaborative robots. 

"Magic Mode" silicon-based workers are rapidly penetrating into various industries. 

In the "collaborative robot" strategic direction, the mechanical arms of Changguangxi Manufacturing have achieved deep self-research in the servo system and motion controller. They possess the advantages of "high speed, high rigidity, and high precision", and have passed the IATF16949 automotive-grade certification. 

This "vehicle-grade" high-precision control capability has become the "entrance ticket" for Changguangxi Intelligent Manufacturing to enter the field of embodied intelligence. 

In the path of implementing embodied intelligence, industrial scenarios are regarded as the most strategically valuable "first stop", and wheeled embodied intelligent robots are considered the best form to carry out this value. 

At present, the automotive industry is serving as a "test bed" to verify this form. 

In response to the fact that traditional automated production lines are unable to adapt to the new manufacturing rhythm of "small batch, multiple models, and rapid switching", wheeled embodied intelligent robots demonstrate their inherent scene-adaptation capabilities. It integrates the complete form of "legs" (autonomous movement), "hands" (precise operation), and "brain" (real-time cognitive decision-making), breaking the limitations of traditional industrial robots that are confined to a fixed area. It achieves autonomous collaborative work across processes and multiple tasks in dynamic production lines. 

The practical application of Changguangxi Intelligent Manufacturing's wheeled humanoid robots in the production workshop of Dongfeng Lantuo has provided the most direct evidence for this technological approach. 

Wang Gang explained: "The Dongfeng Lantou project is developing a professional wheeled dual-arm collaborative robot that can meet the requirements of industrial site operations. It is based on the dual-arm collaboration to build the future flexible automotive production line." 

The wheeled dual-arm collaborative robot is equipped with a high-performance AGV chassis and possesses the capabilities of autonomous navigation and global path planning. It not only can autonomously transport materials between production lines, but also can precisely dock and perform complex tasks such as precise assembly. The strong endurance and automatic charging capabilities ensure the stability of 24-hour continuous operation, while its modular design significantly reduces the maintenance complexity and the long-term operational costs of the factory. 

At the intelligent level, this robot integrates a multimodal fusion perception system. Its stereoscopic vision with "eyes on the hand" can quickly complete high-precision 3D environment modeling and positioning, and perform complex operations such as precise assembly and material sorting like experienced technicians. At the same time, the intelligent display module on the head clearly visualizes the working status, achieving efficient interaction and collaboration between the machine and the personnel, significantly enhancing the transparency and controllability of the production process. 

If the deployment of Dongfeng Lantai proves the "depth" of the embodied intelligence of Changguangxi Manufacturing in high-end manufacturing, then the subsequent scenario expansion showcases its "breadth" in terms of business. 

Relying on standardized motion control core technology, Changguangxi Manufacturing has decomposed embodied intelligence into flexible-assembled "Mogway-style" silicon-based workers. These are not individual workers, but rather a generation system of "silicon-based labor force". 

Wang Gang introduced that this system is based on standardized motion control and perception cores, enabling robots to integrate into specific production processes flexibly, reliably, and at a low cost. It also possesses platformization and intelligence capabilities, and integrates and optimizes visual perception, motion control, and process parameters according to actual scenarios and the real value demands of users. 

Meanwhile, the robot adopts the mature EtherCAT control bus interface and SDKs in multiple languages such as C/C++, C#, and Python, enabling users to conduct low-cost secondary development. It also supports configuration interfaces, facilitating users to build their own UIs, truly achieving "software-defined hardware, platform-defined ecosystem". 

A set of core technologies, endless application scenarios. Changguangxi Intelligent Manufacturing is using "magical" silicon-based workers to rapidly penetrate into thousands of industries. 

In the new retail sector, Changguangxi Manufacturing has collaborated with Jiubing Robots to launch the eighth-generation AI pancake-making robot. Its fully automatic bionic production capability is a major highlight. By ingeniously applying visual recognition technology, multi-sensor fusion technology, intelligent temperature control technology, and deep learning technology, it is equipped with the CGXi-C series consumer-level collaborative robots, simulating the flexible operations of humans, and achieving a fully automatic bionic pancake-making process from dough mixing, pancake spreading, sauce application, flipping, adding ingredients, folding, and bagging. The serving time is only 3 minutes. At the same time, it has comprehensively upgraded its flour system, auxiliary material system, and packaging system, offering 36 flavors to meet individual taste preferences. 

In the field of biomedicine, Changguangxi Intelligent Manufacturing has launched AI Chemist, which adopts a symmetrical dual-arm design. The end of the mechanical arms is equipped with various actuators, and the head and hand can integrate 3D vision. By integrating data perception such as force control, vision, and voice, it can independently complete the three main steps in chemical research: performing reactions, analyzing products, and determining what to do next based on the data. 

In the spraying scenario, the CGXi-X series explosion-proof collaborative robots from Changguangxi Intelligent Manufacturing have obtained the dual explosion-proof certifications from China PCEC and the EU ATEX. They can be safely applied in the spraying environment and meet the requirements of automotive-grade applications such as IP68 and corrosion resistance. In practical use, they can replace painters and perform high-efficiency spraying operations for components like car bumpers, sheet metal, and wheels. 

In practical applications, the intelligent spraying robot employs the CGXi-X series explosion-proof collaborative robots (which have obtained dual explosion-proof certifications from China's PCEC and the EU's ATEX) combined with a machine vision system. Through Al algorithms, it simulates the actual manual spraying operation process and techniques, enabling the robot to autonomously identify, plan, and perform the entire process of sheet metal spraying. It can quickly adjust parameters and plan paths according to different vehicle models and spraying requirements, ensuring that each spraying operation achieves the best results. 

In the field of welding, the "Precision Welder" mobile welding robot has overcome the problems of traditional welding robots such as "single function, complex integration and debugging, and poor trajectory accuracy". Once this equipment is connected to the network, it can download the cloud-based welding process in one click. Even without welding experience, it can be operated. The full Chinese operation interface APP requires the operator to simply select the process formula, click the button, and drag the points to complete the welding tasks of "carbon steel, stainless steel, iron, and metal alloys". 

Automotive Intelligent Components: From Execution Tools to Intelligent Partners 

Automotive intelligent components are another strategic development of Changguangxi Intelligent Manufacturing. It integrates flexible motion control capabilities into the vehicle's embodied intelligent scenarios, achieving a transformation from an execution tool to an intelligent companion. 

A typical example of this transformation is the three-axis flexible screen jointly developed with Xiaopeng Automobile. It is known that the three-axis flexible screen can achieve multi-directional free adjustment, supports multimodal interaction (voice, gesture, touch), and has fast response and low error touch rate. The screen supports functions such as personification wake-up, sliding direction, and personification sentry. The three-axis flexible screen can talk and nod, making the human-computer interaction mode of the intelligent car cockpit more vivid and natural. 

Behind the "anthropomorphic" experience lies the strong support of three core underlying technologies: 

Integrated control design: Adopting an integrated design of motion control, servo system, motor and transmission, it significantly enhances structural stiffness and transmission efficiency, while balancing stability and smooth operation experience. 

Ultra-fast response and smooth interaction: Relying on the new generation of model predictive control system, both trajectory following performance and vibration suppression capability have been enhanced, resulting in a rapid and gentle response; with a speed response bandwidth above 1.5kHz, it enables touch vibration feedback, significantly enhancing the operational immersion experience. 

Comprehensive safety protection: A built-in feature-based external force observer is integrated, combined with the feedback of vehicle body acceleration to filter out driving disturbances, accurately identifying real obstacles. When the screen swings and encounters resistance (such as when a passenger touches it), it will immediately stop the movement, providing reliable anti-collision protection. 

Wang Gang introduced: "We will drive the 'high-speed and high-precision underlying hardware control' and 'integrated intelligent processes deeply integrated into scenarios' in tandem, and conduct engineering verification based on the strict automotive-grade standards. On this basis, we always adhere to the core strategy of 'industrial control + process', and through continuous iterative optimization, form an efficient manufacturing closed-loop." 

It is precisely this complete system, ranging from the underlying hardware to the production processes and all the way to the intelligent manufacturing loop, that constitutes the irreplaceable technological moat of Changguangxi Manufacturing. 

Currently, its three-axis flexible screen has achieved large-scale mass production. With its high reliability, scene adaptability and user-friendly design, it has been recognized by many mainstream automakers such as Xiaopeng Auto and Zhijie, and has become one of the core configurations for the upgrade of intelligent cabins. 

Final Note: Do slow work in a fast-paced world, and adhere to small logic before major opportunities arise. 

With the deepening of technological accumulation and the explosive growth of market demand, 2026 is recognized as the commercialization year of embodied intelligence. Facing this historic opportunity, compared to the players who are often in the "spotlight" of the industry, Changguangxi Intelligent Manufacturing appears to be more calm and pragmatic. 

From the precise execution of collaborative robots to the flexible interaction of intelligent cabins, Changguangxi Manufacturing has been constantly exploring the boundary applications of "embodied intelligence". 

It follows the development strategy of "doing slow work in a fast-paced era, and adhering to small logic in the face of big opportunities", and is guided by the "dual-wheel drive" concept. It has launched a set of "solid, coherent and sustainable" strategies in terms of products, markets and ecosystems: 

In terms of product design, we focus on deepening the roots. We continuously enhance the ultimate performance of flexible motion control and deeply integrate AI capabilities such as perception and decision-making, giving the product an "intelligence center" for autonomous evolution. 

In the market, we proceed step by step. We adopt the strategy of "deeply establishing strongholds and horizontally replicating": First, we build barriers in core scenarios such as welding and spraying, and then quickly reuse the mature technical modules to achieve scale growth. 

Ecologically, we aim for mutual cooperation and symbiosis. Through an open and standardized partnership system, we collaborate with our partners to jointly create a healthy and sustainable industrial ecosystem. This will facilitate the implementation of technologies and ensure a more reasonable distribution of value. 

As the industry gradually shifts from demonstrations to deliveries, and from imagination to production, only those systems that truly focus on the manufacturing process itself and conduct closed-loop deep research between control and technology will have their construction thresholds and long-term value fully recognized.
