Shanghai issues a new-generation intelligent manufacturing action plan, supporting innovative breakthroughs in humanoid robots, collaborative robots, and more

The Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization issued the "Shanghai Action Plan for Accelerating the Development of a New Generation of Intelligent Manufacturing," which proposes to develop and promote new types of intelligent manufacturing equipment. It supports the deep integration of AI technology with equipment, promoting the upgrade of intelligent manufacturing equipment into equipment agents. It calls for developing and promoting physical AI equipment, developing intelligent manufacturing equipment such as robots, industrial machine tools, and inspection equipment with autonomous perception and decision-making capabilities, and using the demand for smart factory construction to drive equipment upgrades and large-scale application. It supports innovative breakthroughs in robots such as humanoid robots, collaborative robots, and high-precision heavy-load robots; accelerates the iterative upgrade of AI-empowered industrial machine tools such as ultra-precision grinding machines, large five-axis machine tools, and high-speed dual five-axis mirror milling machines; and promotes the establishment of independent capabilities in inspection equipment such as X-ray photon spectrometers, residual gas mass spectrometers, and industrial CT.
