Shanghai, China – October 29, 2025 – Hangcha Group convened industry leaders at its "Embodied Intelligence · New Ecosystem" forum during CeMAT ASIA 2025, positioning embodied intelligence as the core driver for the future of smart logistics and manufacturing. The forum, a key highlight of the week, served as the strategic backdrop for the showcase of Hangcha's groundbreaking X1 Series Logistics Humanoid Robot, underscoring the company's evolution from industrial vehicle manufacturer to architectural leader of intelligent logistics ecosystems.
The event attracted a wide audience of industry experts, investors, and media, sparking in-depth discussions on integrating artificial intelligence with robotics to create more adaptive and self-optimizing industrial operations.
From Vision to Reality: The X1 Series Logistics Humanoid Robot
The forum spotlighted the live demonstration of the X1 Series, a robot designed to bridge the gap between high-volume transport and intricate handling. Its core innovation lies in a hybrid architecture that merges the efficiency of wheeled mobility with the dexterity of humanoid manipulation.

This enables the X1 to perform a diverse range of tasks—from transporting and palletizing original master cases to handling and stacking smaller totes or bins—all within dynamic, unstructured environments. By doing so, it fundamentally transcends the limitations of traditional, rigid automation systems that depend on fixed infrastructure.
Strategic Leadership and The Path Forward
In his keynote address, Mr. Tao Yikun, Head of Hangcha's Embodied Intelligence Project, articulated the strategic thinking behind the X1. "Our mission is to create the world's most efficient robot for case-handling tasks," Mr. Tao stated. "The X1 Series Logistics Humanoid Robot is not an endpoint, but a new starting point from which we will deepen the fusion of smart logistics and intelligent manufacturing."
