Further north in Dongguan, two robots carefully navigate an inclined ramp within a testing facility, autonomously trailing a human operator with precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scenes like these are becoming increasingly common in Guangdong, which has quickly emerged as a national leader in robotics innovation. In 2024, the intelligent robotics industry cluster in Guangdong generated over 90 billion yuan ($12.55 billion) in revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This innovation surge stems from Guangdong&#8217;s unique ecosystem.At the Shenzhen Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for Society (AIRS), laboratories hum with robots engineered&nbsp; for a wide range of real-world tasks. The transition from groundbreaking research and development to tangible implementation underscores Guangdong&#8217;s dynamism in the robotics sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Here, multidisciplinary teams composed of researchers and industry partners collaborate closely to unlock innovation potential,&#8221; said Ding Ning, executive deputy head of AIRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Ding, the institute focuses on two priorities: advancing human health and enabling sustainable urban development. By partnering with industry leaders, AIRS seeks to drive breakthroughs that ripple across the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Shenzhen EngineAI Robotics Technology Co., Ltd., a humanoid robot that stands 1.38 meters tall and weighs about 40 kilograms executes sophisticated maneuvers, with 24 degrees of freedom and a 320-degree rotating motor. In March, the robot drew curious onlookers while sprinting through a park in Shenzhen at 12 kilometers per hour &#8211; an apt symbol for Shenzhen&#8217;s fast-moving robotics industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of the end of last year, Shenzhen reported over 200 billion yuan in robotics output, hosting more than 74,000 enterprises, roughly 16 percent of all smart <a href=\"https:\/\/thepublicpurview.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">robotics companies<\/a> in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond eye-catching demonstrations, these technologies are increasingly embedded in daily life and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our direct-drive motors now power robotic vacuum cleaners and food-delivery units,&#8221; said Liu Xitong, head of external relations at Direct Drive Tech Technology Limited, a Dongguan-based manufacturer specialist in robotic power modules and joints. Founded just five years ago, the company anticipates shipping more than 10 million units this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That rapid growth owes much to support from the Xbot Park, a robotics-focused incubator located in Songshan Lake, Dongguan. &#8220;The park provides early-stage funding and instant access to local supply chains. Our inaugural client was another park resident,&#8221; Liu explained. Today, Direct Drive Tech operates more than 10 automated production lines to meet surging market demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Launched in 2014 by three professors from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Xbot Park has since become a leading launchpad for robotics and hardware startups. It connects startups with global universities, research institutions, and supply chains to provide comprehensive resources and financial backing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From nurturing and incubation to full-fledged development, seeds of innovation planted over a decade ago have now grown into a thriving high-tech ecosystem. According to a park executive, more than 80 robotics and smart hardware startups have been incubated there, with a survival rate of 80 percent. &#8220;We help companies accelerate product development, validate markets, and build robust teams.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What accounts for Guangdong&#8217;s strong appeal to robotics startups and entrepreneurs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key factor is the province&#8217;s robust industrial ecosystem. EngineAI, for instance, operates in Shenzhen&#8217;s &#8220;Robot Valley,&#8221; home to nearly a dozen universities and more than 100 robotics-related companies, forming a tightly knit value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We can send a new product design to a supplier in the morning and receive a prototype that by evening,&#8221; said Yao Aiwen, co-founder of EngineAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tightly integrated value chain is now a defining feature of the region. Shenzhen has developed an end-to-end robotics industrial layout spanning core components to fully assembled robots, with over 60 percent of its supply and production chains localized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond Shenzhen, cities like Dongguan are reinforcing the province&#8217;s technological edge through&nbsp; highly supportive development environment. The city has leveraged the Songshan Lake Science City to establish two major innovation platforms: the Guangdong Intelligent Robotics Institute and the Xbot Park robotics base. Together, they provide comprehensive support from incubation and pilot testing to full-scale commercialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powered by its advanced manufacturing capabilities and surging market demand, Guangdong is rapidly forging a new industrial pillar marked by high technology, strong momentum, and large scale. With deliberate investments and deep-rooted infrastructure, the province is taking confident strides toward becoming a hub for artificial intelligence and robotics innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"891\" height=\"594\" src=\"https:\/\/globaltimes.com.pk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Why-has-Guangdong-become-a-magnet-for-robotics-innovation-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaltimes.com.pk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Why-has-Guangdong-become-a-magnet-for-robotics-innovation-2-2.jpg 891w, https:\/\/globaltimes.com.pk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Why-has-Guangdong-become-a-magnet-for-robotics-innovation-2-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globaltimes.com.pk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Why-has-Guangdong-become-a-magnet-for-robotics-innovation-2-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globaltimes.com.pk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Why-has-Guangdong-become-a-magnet-for-robotics-innovation-2-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 891px) 100vw, 891px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A humanoid robot jogs in the Shenzhen Talent Park in Shenzhen, south China&#8217;s Guangdong province.
