Global Business Vane: Dual Considerations of Technology and Business



As a "barometer" in the global business landscape, the "First Forbes China Top 100 Investment Value" list emphasizes core dimensions such as technological innovation and business models during its selection process, with a particular focus on enterprises' disruptive breakthroughs and global competitiveness. In 2024, the list included industrial embodied intelligence as a key evaluation field for the first time. LE Robotics Co., Ltd. stood out from numerous cutting-edge technology enterprises by virtue of its long-term technological investments and professional expertise in the field of industrial embodied intelligence, and was strongly selected as the top-ranked enterprise in China.  Following global research and professional evaluation, LE Robotics' technological barriers, commercialization capabilities, and global strategic layout were highly recognized by Forbes judges. The judges commented that its industrial embodied intelligence technology "redefines the global industrial robotics competitive landscape, and its technological architecture and open ecosystem model provide a replicable intelligent paradigm for the industry."



The selected enterprises cover cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence and high-end manufacturing. As the only industrial embodied intelligence enterprise on the list, LE Robotics Co., Ltd. stands alongside top tech companies in various fields. Its inclusion in the list strongly confirms that China has achieved a leap from "following" to "leading" in this field.



Technological Revolution: Industrial Embodied Intelligence Reconstructs the Global Industrial Paradigm



As a key enterprise supported by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "14th Five-Year Plan" for the robotics industry, LE Robotics Co., Ltd. has adopted "industrial embodied intelligence" as its core strategy and built the world's first industrial-grade embodied intelligence toolchain. Its self-developed industrial brain model organically integrates 3D vision (scanning accuracy up to 0.05mm), SLAM autonomous navigation, and LE AI deep learning algorithms to achieve a closed-loop of "perception-decision-execution" throughout the welding and cutting process, completely breaking the traditional industrial robots' reliance on manual programming.  In terms of technical practice and innovation, LE AI analyzes welding pool morphology data in real time and dynamically adjusts parameters. On the hardware side, relying on SLAM navigation and 3D vision scanning systems, it enables robots to independently plan obstacle-avoidance paths and operate stably in unstructured environments. The collaborative architecture of "AI decision-making + hardware adaptability" significantly improves process adaptation rates, enabling 7×24-hour uninterrupted operations. The "seam welding" technology uses multi-modal perception data-driven algorithms to achieve "one-time scanning, full-path generation" in complex curved surfaces and multi-angle weld scenarios, increasing welding efficiency by more than three times compared to traditional operations.



Starting from L3-level AI perception and automatic execution, going through L3.5-level intelligent interaction while welding on the move, L4-level multimodal fusion precise decision-making, L4.5-level global perception extreme operation, and culminating in L5-level fully autonomous seam welding at first sight, LE Robotics will gradually achieve leapfrog technological breakthroughs. This ladder-like innovation is reshaping the global industrial paradigm and driving industrial embodied intelligence from theoretical concepts into deep industrial practice.



Market Validation: Technological Innovation Drives Global Layout



Since completing the strategic restructuring of the technical teams from Tsinghua University and Huawei at the end of 2022, LE Robotics has rapidly achieved a leap from technological innovation to commercial implementation, relying on its more than 20 years of robotics technology accumulation. With its technological advantages, LE Robotics has partnered with over 50 Fortune Global 500 companies, including China National Petroleum Corporation, CRRC Corporation, and Shudao Group, and achieved double sales growth in 2024.  Up to now, LE Robotics' products have been applied in scenarios such as national major infrastructure projects, high-altitude regions, and high-radiation environments, with a product repurchase rate exceeding 85%. Thanks to its precise intelligent control and efficient operation capabilities, the company has effectively alleviated the industry's labor pressure and helped clients improve production efficiency.



In terms of globalization, the company has accelerated the construction of a global service network. In North America, Singapore, and countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, its embodied intelligence welding system has achieved compatibility with multi-brand equipment and cross-lingual process adaptation, making it one of the few globally recognized embodied intelligence solutions. Leveraging the dual advantages of technological innovation and market validation, LE Robotics provides customers with 24-hour rapid response and localized support, continuously expanding its influence in the global industrial embodied intelligence field. Its technologies and solutions have gained widespread application and high praise in international markets.



Industrial Empowerment: Activating the 'Nerve Endings' of China's New-Quality Productivity



LE Robotics, with industrial embodied intelligence technology at its core, has deeply integrated into China's manufacturing system, becoming a crucial force in activating new-quality productivity. In numerous strategic emerging industries such as high-end equipment manufacturing, its welding and cutting solutions not only enhance enterprise production efficiency and product quality but also reduce reliance on traditional labor, improve resource utilization efficiency, and accelerate the march toward high-end manufacturing.  The widespread application of its technologies has promoted collaborative innovation across the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, building an efficient and intelligent industrial ecosystem from component supply to complete machine assembly. This innovation-driven model, with technology as the core driving force, breaks free from dependence on traditional production factors and propels the manufacturing industry toward intelligent and green transformation— a typical embodiment of new-quality productivity. Its development injects momentum into the high-quality development of the Chinese economy, supporting the shift from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing superpower.  From domestic to global markets, LE Robotics has redefined the value boundaries of industrial robots through the path of "AI defining hardware and hardware carrying intelligence." Driven by the dual engines of technological innovation and commercial implementation, it is pushing "Made in China with Intelligence" to integrate into the global wave of industrial intelligence.
