    STIER Project Case | Efficient Grinding of Weld Scars on Battery Boxes

    STIER uses the PolishX axial flexible force control device together with a flexible grinding robot to grind weld scars on battery boxes. The minimum actual output force can be controlled down to 1 N, with force control accuracy of ±0.8 N and response under 10 ms. A positioner enables autonomous grinding across multiple areas and autonomous tool changing. In testing, weld scars were removed cleanly and R corners and edges transitioned smoothly, with a cycle time of no more than 100 s per piece and a first-pass yield of no less than 90%. The solution targets welded box-type workpieces in the automotive and new energy industries and supports process validation with customer-supplied parts.

    Embodied AI Is Suffering from Anxiety: Cooling Investment, Valuation Corrections, and IPO Setbacks

    In the second half of 2026, financing in the embodied AI sector cooled markedly: 19 deals worth 4.934 billion yuan in the first half of October, far below the peak monthly figure of 33.98 billion yuan. Citing Unitree Robotics' share price falling more than 63% from its post-IPO peak and Yinghe Robotics' valuation of over $500 million against revenue of 4.33 million yuan, the article points to a mismatch between revenue and valuation, and examines valuation corrections and stricter IPO reviews triggered by models such as circular transactions at data-collection centers and shareholders who are also customers.

    Will data collection become a "sacrifice" of embodied intelligence?

    The article notes that in less than two years, 106 humanoid robot data collection centers have been built nationwide in China. Some robot companies inflate reported revenue through a "sell equipment—buy back data" arrangement, and Mech-Mind founder Shao Tianlan has publicly mentioned such irregularities. Data prices have fallen from over 200 yuan per hour last year to over 100 yuan this year, and collection methods are shifting from real-robot teleoperation to bodyless collection, reducing the need for data collection centers to purchase robots. The article also cites Forbes' questioning of Figure AI's valuation bubble and a speculation that industry consolidation is expected to become concentrated between the second half of 2026 and 2027.

    The Second Half for AI Startups: Where Is the Money Going?

    In a 36Kr conversation, Ji Wei of Meridian Capital and Lui Chun-yung of Invest Hong Kong judged that AI investment is shifting from competition over model parameters to application deployment and the "data flywheel." Coding, with clear feedback, is currently the largest AI application by revenue, with Cursor's annualized revenue rising from over $1 billion to about $2.6 billion within a year. Embodied intelligence is seen as the most active but also the earliest stage; Ji Wei gave a conservative expectation of a "ChatGPT moment" in 5-10 years, while Lui Chun-yung noted that screwdriving still requires engineers as a fallback and that logistics handling has not yet met stability standards, with current deployment mostly in limited scenarios such as patrol inspection.

The article cites cases including Nanjing Wujing Dynamics suspending work and owing wages, a creditors' meeting at Yinghe Robotics, and bankruptcy liquidation at DeepBlue Robotics, and notes that Unitree's prospectus shows research and education accounted for 73.6% of humanoid robot revenue, while revenue actually used in scenarios such as intelligent manufacturing was only 2.64%. The authors argue that money is concentrating in the leading players, the industry has begun to squeeze out excess, and robots have yet to enter real production scenarios at scale.
