A Grand Opening for the Vision Industry
On March 25, 2026, Vision China 2026 (Shanghai)—the benchmark event for Asia’s machine vision industry—officially opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (Halls W4 & W5). Under the theme “VISION + AI + Robotics,” the exhibition showcases global breakthroughs in industrial automation, semiconductors, and smart manufacturing.
Vizum Intelligence is taking center stage, demonstrating the evolution of machine vision from a simple “industrial eye” to the “intelligent core” driving the next era of smart manufacturing.
From 3D Vision to Embodied AI: CEO Keynote
At the concurrent seminar, Dr. Dong Xiaojian, CEO of Vizum Intelligence, delivered a keynote speech titled “From 3D Vision to Embodied AI.” Dr. Dong emphasized that Vizum’s strategy is rooted in 3D machine vision, supported by mature industrial applications, and aimed at the long-term development of humanoid robotics.
The company has successfully built a “Trinity” full-stack capability consisting of:
- The Eye: ASIC-based machine vision.
- The Brain: AI-driven decision-making.
- The Body: Humanoid robotic hardware. Vizum aims to become a premier global provider of core components and technology for the Embodied AI sector.
Deep Diving into Industrial “Smart” Manufacturing
In the industrial zone, Vizum showcased field-proven solutions addressing critical pain points in welding and assembly:
- Smart Welding: Powered by the StarlightEye series cameras, Vizum’s system utilizes high-precision point cloud imaging and the “Tiger” intelligent application platform. This enables full-process automation, from weld seam extraction to dynamic pool monitoring.
- Specialized Solutions: For steel mesh welding, the SmartLightEye series combined with the “Flying Tiger” platform features an anti-spatter cover (electric/pneumatic) to enhance positioning accuracy and safety.
- Smart Assembly: Advanced stereo vision technology allows for rapid scanning and intelligent generation of grasp points, significantly boosting production efficiency and reducing labor costs in screw assembly.
The Evolution of Embodied Intelligence
Leveraging its deep expertise in perception, Vizum is aggressively expanding into the humanoid robot market with full-stack self-developed hardware and algorithms.
- Xiao Wei in Action: Vizum’s star robot, Xiao Wei, demonstrated its ability to independently pick and deliver drinks, showcasing the seamless integration of Embodied AI.
- Versatile Portfolio: With high-adaptability hardware and flexible grippers, Vizum has developed a robot matrix including Bipedal, AGV, and Harvesting versions, covering applications across industrial manufacturing, retail services, and modern agriculture.
Award-Winning Innovation
Vizum’s technical prowess was recognized by the Machine Vision Industry Union (CMVU). The StarlightEye Pneumatic Protected Camera was honored as a “Top 10 Innovative Product of Vision China 2025.” As a market leader holding over 50% market share in the smart welding sector, this award reaffirms Vizum’s role in spearheading industry-wide intelligent transformation.
Shaping the Future Together
From its beginnings in 3D vision to its current strategic layout in Embodied AI, Vizum Intelligence remains committed to independent R&D. We extend our deepest gratitude to our partners and customers for their trust. In this golden age of Embodied AI, Vizum looks forward to collaborating with industry peers to break technological barriers and build a robust, intelligent industrial ecosystem.
