## Summary

The self-developed RV reducer from Midea's Blue Orange Laboratory has passed an 8,000-hour life validation under constant-load conditions and a 3,000-cycle reciprocating impact validation, with machining accuracy deviation on complex curved surfaces controlled below 2-3 microns. It has been trialed on KUKA robots and has entered mass production. The component went through dozens of iterations over five years, and the team added an allowable bending moment force on top of rated-condition testing, making it stricter than the national testing standard. Xu Yi, director of Midea's AI Research Institute, also described the sequence for deploying embodied intelligence, with industrial scenarios first; success rates for line screw-fastening and parts sorting have reached over 99%.
