On May 4th, Gong Zheng, member of the 20th Central Committee, deputy secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, and mayor of Shanghai, came to the "Dataa New Town-Intelligent Robot Industry Base" located in Maqiao, Minhang, to investigate new track industry companies, get to know the situation of enterprise technology innovation, business model innovation and industrial application development. Huang Xiaoqing, the founder and chairman of Dataa Robotics, and Wang Bing, co-founder of Dataa Robotics, accompanied the visit. This is the second visit for Mayor Gong Zheng coming to investigate Dataa Robotics after three years in May 2020 last time.

At first, Gong Zheng came to Dataa Robotics' exhibition hall of "Dataa New Town - Cloud Robot World" to learn about advanced cloud robot technology architecture, and watched Ginger's Peking Opera performance with great interest; then he went to the 5G intelligent digital manufacturing factory. He checked the operation of the automated production line of the Smart Compliant Actuator (SCA), which is the core component of the robot, and asked about the production capacity. Finally, Gong Zheng came to the XR robot lab and listened in detail to the R&D progress in biped humanoid robot.

The XR lab originated from the "XR-Plan Extreme Robot Project" launched in 2018. The goal is to create a general and powerful ontology platform for cloud robots, and provide standardized products and scenarios for users from all walks of life. In addition, it carries key capabilities such as new body design, sensor design, control system, and core algorithm design. Under the goal of "2025, robot nanny", it will continue to promote innovation and exploration in various technical fields, and accelerate the iteration and development of humanoid robots. It is committed to becoming an innovative comprehensive platform integrating "production, education, research and application". Gong Zheng said that industry is the pillar of high-quality development, and the new track industry is related to Shanghai's future competitiveness. It is necessary to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress and General Secretary Xi Jinping's inspection speech of Shanghai. Under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee, we must keep a close eye on the general trend of technological revolution and industrial transformation, seize opportunities to deploy new track industries and future industries, and foster innovation-driven development. The foundation will ignite the engine of scientific and technological innovation, create a good industrial ecology, help outstanding enterprises stand out, and make new contributions to accelerating the construction of a high-quality, efficient and innovative modern industrial system.

Huang Xiaoqing said that as the R&D manufacturer and operator of cloud robots, Dataa Robotics is actively committed to the breakthrough of the key technology from "0" to "1" and the leap from "1" to "100"; it continues to promote research on cutting-edge technology innovation and industrial application, to achieve the self-learning and evolutionary growth of robot intelligence. During the survey, Gong Zheng also asked about the urgent problems in enterprise development , and encouraged Dataa Robotics to make better and powerful products and seize the exposed opportunity of the market. Industry is the "hard support" of a city's core competitiveness, hence it is necessary to focus on following national strategy, bravely undertake the mission of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, and strive to shape a modern industrial system.

Huang Xiaoqing said that Shanghai has a good AI industry foundation and business environment, and Dataa Robotics will continue to assume the responsibility of the "chain owner" of the industrial chain, give full play to its own strengths, empower the development and boost the prosperity of the industry.Li Zheng, deputy mayor of Shanghai, Ma Chunlei, secretary-general of the municipal government, Zhuang Mudi, deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, Zhou Ya, deputy secretary-general of the municipal government, Wu Jincheng, director of the Municipal Economic and Information Commission, and Chen Yujian, secretary of the Minhang District Party Committee, accompanied the investigation.
