Atomrobot is joining the 2026 Tianjin group talent recruitment "fall recruitment" campaign and visiting universities. In September and October it has already visited Tsinghua University, Zhengzhou University, Dalian University of Technology, Northeastern University, Chongqing University, Sichuan University, and Tiangong University, and will subsequently visit Nankai University and Tianjin University. Founded in 2013, the company focuses on parallel robots, high-speed SCARA robots, heavy-load collaborative robots, embodied intelligent robots, and core controllers, among other products. Its parallel robots have ranked first in domestic market share among Chinese independent brands for 6 consecutive years since 2020.
REEMAN outlines an approach for retrofitting existing stretch wrappers using Ironhide autonomous forklifts: the forklift handles pallet pickup, placement, and warehouse transport, while the stretch wrapper continues to perform packaging, requiring a machine control interface, status feedback, and safety interlocks. In its wireless docking demonstration, pickup alignment deviation was within 2 cm and turntable placement deviation was within 5 cm, with the demonstration process taking about 6 minutes. There is also an Ironhide 3.0 deployment at a factory in Jingmen, Hubei; the two applications are independent of each other, and the data comes from REEMAN application materials and has not been independently verified.
Zhuoyide and Tencent Cloud signed a strategic cooperation agreement at the 2026 Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit. The collaboration centers on embodied intelligence edge inference, moving Moya's voice interaction tasks to nearby edge nodes via Tencent Cloud EdgeOne. On-site testing at the summit showed Moya's first-token response was 30% faster and interaction jitter was reduced by 4.6 times, with end-to-end latency dropping from roughly 1–2 seconds to under 1 second. As a result, the Moya body can carry less onboard compute, balancing battery life, safety, and interaction experience through device-edge collaboration.
The REEMAN intelligent pallet wrapping and handling workstation uses an external wireless communication module to link the 1.5-ton payload Ironhide autonomous forklift with a turntable wrapping machine into a continuous process. The module can use I/O, RS485, Ethernet, or CAN interfaces depending on the equipment controller, and the wireless link uses LoRa or Wi-Fi. In the demonstration, pickup alignment deviation was ≤2 cm and drop-off deviation was ≤5 cm; wrapping and film cutting are completed automatically, and the full handling and packaging process takes about 6 minutes.
REEMAN customized the forks on its Titan Mini autonomous forklift for a high-end electronic materials factory in Anhui, enabling it to directly handle the customer's existing wheeled mobile material tank trolleys without additional pallets. The trolley weighs about 275 kg when loaded, the Titan Mini has a rated payload of up to 2,000 kg, the one-way point-to-point transport distance is about 260 m, and it uses LiDAR SLAM navigation; under the current site configuration, a full work cycle takes about 4.5 minutes.
At an electronic materials factory in Jingmen, Hubei, REEMAN Ironhide 3.0 autonomous forklifts complete an integrated process: picking up goods in the production area, passing through two electric doors, handing off to a stretch wrapper, and delivering to the warehouse. The actual load is about 1,300 kg, with a rated load of 1,500 kg. The customer reports about 75 transport cycles per day, about 6.5 minutes per task, and a loaded route of about 270 meters, with support for automatic return to a mobile charging station. The forklift's reference price is about USD 9,900, and integration with doors and the stretch wrapper requires customization based on the site's controller interfaces.
REEMAN demonstrated a library inventory robot built on the Hot Wheels robot chassis, completing a mobility demo in indoor bookshelf aisles, but did not provide OCR recognition accuracy or inventory results.

Public open days are November 7 and 8, with doors opening at 9:00.
Healthy adult cats accustomed to being alone can usually stay home alone for several hours; a single night is generally feasible, while 24 hours is closer to the limit. Kittens (under 6 months) can be left for about 2 to 4 hours at a time, and senior and sick cats need shorter periods. A 2003 review by Schwartz of clinical records for 716 cats showed that 136 showed signs of separation anxiety, close to one-fifth. A fixed camera can only see one room, whereas Enabot's EBO Air 2 Plus mobile pet camera robot can be controlled via an app to move around the home and check the corners where a cat is hiding; EBO Max is the higher-end model.

The REEMAN YIMA YBOT20P outdoor delivery robot can automatically call an elevator, enter it, and deliver across floors through a compatible elevator control interface, without anyone needing to press the elevator buttons. The platform is designed for indoor and outdoor transport, has a payload of 100 kg, uses dual-lidar SLAM navigation, autonomous obstacle avoidance, and automatic charging, and can connect the delivery process from a community parcel station to a designated apartment entrance. Elevator integration requires confirming compatibility with the manufacturer's API, control module, or building system interface, and the elevator's existing safety controls must not be bypassed.
AgiBot has proposed a robot workload measurement framework called Worken, which multiplies three factors—the number of active robots, autonomous working hours, and output efficiency ratio—to estimate the effective intelligent work hours completed by robots in real deployments. The framework was proposed by co-founder, president, and CTO Peng Zhihui, and emphasizes distinguishing powered-on time from autonomous operating time, and measuring qualified output against task benchmarks.

REEMAN has released the YIMA YBOT20P outdoor delivery robot, which carries parcels from courier stations to apartment doorsteps along mapped community routes, with a rated payload of 100 kg. The robot uses dual-laser SLAM navigation, with a 360° top laser and a 230° front laser, an adjustable speed of 0.3–1 m/s, maximum obstacle clearance of 3 cm, maximum climbing grade of 10%, a nominal battery life of 10–15 hours, and support for automatic return to charge on low battery. It enables cross-floor delivery through integration with compatible elevator and automatic door controllers, and outdoor operation is limited to dry paved roads under no-rain conditions.
A Raspberry Pi engineer built a Core XY CNC mechanism using 3D-printed parts, fishing line, motors, and an ESP32; magnets beneath a wooden board drive the Ouija planchette to move automatically to specified letters. The system runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with Raspberry Pi OS Trixie, and a Python Flask web interface converts input text into G-code, which is sent over a USB serial connection to the ESP32 to drive the motors. Currently a person still has to listen to questions and type in answers; the creator is considering adding a microphone and an AI model to parse questions and generate replies.
