Yanfeng International and the National and Local Joint Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Sign Strategic Cooperation to Jointly Build an Automotive Embodied Intelligence Scenario Data Center

On October 28, Yanfeng International Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yanfeng International") and the National and Local Joint Humanoid Robot Innovation Center (hereinafter referred to as the "National and Local Center") officially reached a strategic cooperation. In this cooperation, the two parties will focus on jointly building an embodied intelligence scenario data center and an embodied intelligence training demonstration site for the automotive industry, and will carry out deep collaboration in areas such as data platform construction, training demonstration site construction, vertical scenario solution development, and joint industry standard building, working together to promote the large-scale implementation and application of embodied intelligence technology in the automotive manufacturing field.

At the event, Cui Yan, General Manager of the National and Local Center, and Zang Chungao, General Manager of Yanfeng International, as representatives of the two parties, conducted a two-way plaque awarding ceremony. The National and Local Center awarded Yanfeng International the plaque "National and Local Joint Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Embodied Intelligence Scenario Data Center and Training Demonstration Site for the Automotive Parts Industry"; Yanfeng International awarded the National and Local Center the plaque "Yanfeng International Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. Embodied Intelligence Automotive Parts Industry Application Demonstration Center." This "dual plaque awarding" marks the official launch of the "two-way empowerment" cooperation mechanism: the technological achievements of the National and Local Center can be rapidly introduced into Yanfeng International's manufacturing scenarios for validation and iteration, and Yanfeng International's scenario needs and data can also establish collaboration with the National and Local Center's R&D system, forming a complete closed loop of "scenario-data-technology-product." Zang Chungao, General Manager of Yanfeng International, stated that Yanfeng International is actively seizing opportunities in the embodied intelligence industry and accelerating its layout along the path of "data asset accumulation → vertical scenario closed-loop validation → industry solution output." Vehicle and parts manufacturing scenarios have a high degree of process standardization, stable production takt time, and a clear return on investment (ROI) path, making them one of the industrial scenarios most suited for large-scale implementation of embodied intelligence. Yanfeng International will fully open its manufacturing scenarios and production line data resources, work closely with the National and Local Center, solidly advance the implementation of various cooperation initiatives, and strive to make this cooperation a benchmark demonstration project for embodied intelligence applications in the automotive industry, helping to advance new industrialization and empower the development of new quality productive forces. Cui Yan, General Manager of the National and Local Center, stated that the National and Local Center, as the first national-level innovation platform in the humanoid robot field, is the core hub for China's humanoid robot technological innovation and ecosystem cultivation. This cooperation will rely on Yanfeng International's full-chain scenario accumulation and strong industrialization capabilities, and based on the National and Local Center's full-stack self-developed humanoid robot product capabilities and full-process data and model delivery and deployment system, jointly create a humanoid robot application model solution that can be promoted and replicated for automotive parts scenarios. In the future, the two parties will jointly define the "industrial foundation" for embodied intelligence data and training infrastructure in the automotive parts industry. As a frontier technology prioritized for national development, embodied intelligence has become an important lever for advancing new industrialization and new quality productive forces, and high-end manufacturing such as automotive manufacturing is a key field for its large-scale implementation. Through this cooperation, the two parties will, through full strategic collaboration and technological integration, with the innovative application of embodied intelligent robots as the core, jointly promote profound transformation in the field of intelligent automotive manufacturing, and set a new benchmark for the automotive industry's intelligent manufacturing to move from "partial prototype demonstrations" to "real production line practical applications."
