Chengdu Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Co., Ltd. deployed three robots for real-world verification: the RS-18 comprehensive intelligent service robot, the wheeled police intelligent patrol robot, and the Xiaozha robot, achieving significant results, akin to undergoing a practical drill, honing their capabilities in various aspects. “Every breakthrough is inseparable from the valuable opportunities provided by real-world verification, giving us a clearer direction for product iteration, market expansion, and technological improvement,” said Guo Xueqi, the company’s pre-sales engineer, during an interview.
The RS-18 comprehensive intelligent service robot was deployed at the Wuhou Shrine visitor center, where the company customized software tailored to the Wuhou Shrine scenario in advance, widely collecting on-site feedback and actual scene requirements during operation, continuously refining and upgrading software functions. Now, its service efficiency has significantly improved, providing convenient and efficient services to visitors, who are very satisfied. The responsible person mentioned that due to its outstanding performance at the Wuhou Shrine, this robot attracted multiple clients for research and successfully secured orders, laying a solid foundation for market expansion.

Chengdu Jinfabian Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. has independently developed a special intelligent quadruped robot with a modular design, equipped with self-developed “Jinshi Intelligent Computing” edge computing board chips and “Egrets Navigation” systems, capable of autonomous navigation and intelligent obstacle avoidance indoors and outdoors, providing strong support for intelligent security patrols in Chunxi Road. To address the limitations of single robots in complex patrol tasks, the company has also developed a “collective intelligent task planning system” to achieve intelligent collaborative operations of mixed formations of wheeled and quadruped robots, significantly improving the execution efficiency and coverage of security patrol tasks.
In recent years, Chengdu’s AI and robotics industry has developed rapidly, with key enterprises gathering around the Tianfu New Area, Chengdu High-tech Zone, Chenghua District, and Wuhou District, focusing on humanoid robots, medical robots, industrial robots, and more, forming a trend of full industrial chain development with over 100 key enterprises. By 2024, Chengdu’s core AI and robotics industry scale and number of enterprises will achieve a “double thousand breakthrough,” with the core industry scale exceeding 100 billion yuan and related enterprises surpassing 1,000, helping over 400 enterprises secure approximately 670 million yuan in provincial and municipal policy support. Robots have successfully entered the first batch of new industrial tracks in Sichuan, with the industry’s comprehensive strength ranking in the second tier nationwide. From January to June 2025, the city’s core AI industry scale is expected to exceed 75 billion yuan, indicating enormous development potential.
At the same time, Chengdu actively encourages enterprises to apply for the “reveal the list” policy, focusing on the pain points of robot and AI applications in key scenarios such as public security, cultural tourism, and health care, with scene application parties releasing real-world verification technology demand lists, supporting enterprises, universities, and research institutions to form joint bodies for implementation, and encouraging product innovation iteration through a “joint tackling” approach. Additionally, it strengthens the application of innovative products, supporting products (technologies) that have successfully passed verification in application scenarios to actively apply for provincial and municipal first sets (sets) policies, injecting strong vitality into industrial development.
