On the morning of April 20 local time, HANNOVER MESSE 2026 grandly opened at the Hannover Exhibition Center in Germany. At this world-leading event in the global industrial technology sector, Zoomlion’s ZValley Technology Co. Ltd, made a stunning global debut of its self-developed embodied intelligence operating system, Robot Ops, a new humanoid robot, and an AI-native intelligent manufacturing total solution. On the first day of the exhibition, Zoomlion's booth attracted a continuous stream of global partners and visitors, who came to experience the demonstrations and discuss collaboration, creating a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere.
During the exhibition, Zoomlion showcased cutting-edge applications of embodied intelligence, fully demonstrating its formidable capabilities in intelligent manufacturing and AI innovation, while offering the "Zoomlion Solution" for integrating intelligent manufacturing with artificial intelligence. Chinese manufacturing enterprises, represented by Zoomlion, are actively creating a new paradigm for intelligent manufacturing in the AI era, demonstrating the innovative confidence and contemporary responsibility of China's smart manufacturing to the world.
Humanoid Robot Moves Gracefully, Capturing Countless Eyes
On the opening day, at the launch ceremony of the "Invest in China" pavilion, Zoomlion’s bipedal humanoid robot delivered an impressive opening dance performance. It not only performed a fluid Tai Chi routine but also executed dynamic, rhythmic dance moves, drawing gasps of amazement from the audience, who stopped to watch and take photos.
At the joint booth of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Zoomlion, the company showcased an integrated solution combining artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, industrial software, and industrial internet platforms in real industrial scenarios. ZValley’s industrial intelligence agent dynamically coordinated humanoid robots and logistics mobile robots to collaboratively complete industrial logistics sorting tasks. Meanwhile, Zoomlion's new Z01 humanoid robot, powered by the Robot Claw industrial driver, performed complex tasks such as factory inspections and material inventory counting. The audience responded with prolonged applause and admiration, praising Zoomlion’s cutting-edge technological prowess.
World Premiere of Embodied Intelligence Operating System: Robot Ops
At this exhibition, Zoomlion also globally launched its embodied intelligence operating system, Robot Ops. It is precisely through the unified scheduling of this system that Zoomlion’s humanoid robots achieve smooth collaboration and precise operations. While embodied intelligence technology is advancing rapidly worldwide, it generally faces challenges such as high R&D barriers, difficult scenario migration, data bottlenecks, and a lack of full lifecycle management. To address these issues, ZValley independently developed the Robot Ops system, paving a standardized and replicable engineering path for the large-scale deployment of embodied intelligence.
As a professional embodied intelligence development platform for the Software 3.0 era, Zoomlion’s Robot Ops system is built around an engineering architecture that integrates "data, software, and intelligent agents as a trinity." It is equipped with four core modules: basic tools, imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and task orchestration. This establishes a full lifecycle closed loop covering data collection, model training, simulation validation, and deployment and maintenance. The system enables out-of-the-box functionality with zero barriers to entry, improving closed-loop iteration efficiency by over 50%. It can be widely adapted to scenarios such as humanoid robots, industrial robots, construction machinery, and autonomous driving, truly delivering the application value of "one platform empowering multiple industries." At the exhibition, visitors experienced the powerful capabilities of Zoomlion’s Robot Ops platform in fully supporting the R&D and deployment of embodied intelligence across the entire process and lifecycle through video demonstrations and real-time interactive experiences.
Unlocking the Code of China's Smart Manufacturing Leadership, Deeply Engaging in Global Industry Dialogue
During the exhibition, Zoomlion also provided an in-depth interpretation of the digitalization achievements of Zoomlion Smart Industrial City through a combination of video and system demonstrations for the global audience. This China national-level pilot smart factory deeply integrates "visible intelligence" with "invisible intelligence" through digital technologies such as intelligent production scheduling, industrial AI, digital twins, and full-process intelligent logistics.
As a result, it achieves an average production rate of one excavator every six minutes, one scissor-type aerial work platform every 7.5 minutes, one truck crane every 17 minutes, and one boom pump truck every 27 minutes, fully demonstrating the leadership of China's intelligent manufacturing.
During the show, Zoomlion was also invited to deliver several keynote speeches, comprehensively presenting its humanoid robot operating system and humanoid robot products, and detailing the company’s AI-native and cloud-native intelligent manufacturing total solutions. These presentations attracted professional visitors, industry experts, and media journalists from around the world to engage in discussions and in-depth interactions.
Zoomlion has fully demonstrated the innovation vitality and technological strength of China's smart manufacturing on the global industrial stage of HANNOVER MESSE. Looking ahead, Zoomlion will continue to engage in deep exchanges and collaborative exploration with the global industrial community, jointly expanding the vast development space of intelligent manufacturing and embodied intelligence.
