AsiaInfo Technologies Limited, a leading provider of software products, solutions, and services, and ABB Robotics jointly established the "Embodied Intelligence Laboratory" and held its inauguration ceremony at AsiaInfo Plaza in Beijing.

Tian Suning, Chairman of AsiaInfo Technologies, and Dr Ouyang Ye, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of AsiaInfo Technologies, together with Han Chen, Vice President of ABB Group and President of ABB Robotics China, jointly held an unveiling ceremony for the laboratory. Li Li, Vice President of the Government-Enterprise Business Unit at Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group, attended the ceremony as a key technology partners, witnessing this milestone that ushers in a new phase of integration between Physical AI technologies and the real economy.

ABB Robotics is one of the world's leading robotics suppliers, offering a comprehensive and integrated portfolio that includes industrial and collaborative robots, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), controllers, application solutions, services, and equipment. Powered by its intelligent software, its technologies help businesses across industries, from automotive to electronics and logistics to become more resilient, flexible, and efficient.

As AI rapidly moves from the digital realm into the physical world, Physical AI, as the key bridge linking AI capabilities with real-world industries, is becoming a core engine driving the intelligent upgrade of the manufacturing sector. Against this backdrop, AsiaInfo Technologies has established a strategic partnership with ABB Robotics to jointly set up the Embodied Intelligence Laboratory, integrating both parties' core strengths in foundation AI large models, industrial automation, communications technologies and robot control. The laboratory will focus on cutting-edge areas such as industrial simulation and Physical AI, aiming to break through bottlenecks in the perception, decision-making and execution capabilities of intelligent agents in complex real-world scenarios. It will build an end-to-end innovation system spanning technology research and development ("R&D"), technology commercialisation, and large-scale industrial deployment, thereby injecting strong AI-driven momentum into high-quality development.

As a leader in full-stack digital‑intelligence capabilities, AsiaInfo Technologies will take AI large model application as the core lever, deeply integrating its strengths in 5G‑A telecommunications technology and network security to drive technology integration and large-scale deployment at the laboratory. By developing replicable, scalable scenario-based solutions, the Company will accelerate the rollout and value realisation of innovation in the intelligent manufacturing sector. Leveraging its global expertise in industrial automation and flexible control, ABB Robotics will provide the laboratory with real-world, production-line use cases and strong engineering support capabilities, enabling efficient validation, optimisation and iteration of technical solutions, and achieving deep coupling and mutual empowerment between technology and application scenarios.

The laboratory will leverage external technology partners to reinforce its R&D capabilities. By utilising Alibaba Cloud's massive data processing power and cutting-edge algorithmic frameworks such as Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA), and NVIDIA accelerated computing technology for training optimisation, it will significantly speed up the industrialisation of Physical AI technologies.
