Early summer brings lush greenery to the Longhu Lake area of Zhengdong New District. Inside Zhongyuan Dynamics Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd., located at the Zhongyuan Science City Innovation Incubation Base, the company’s exhibition hall resembles a sci-fi robotics showcase. From six-dimensional force sensors to industrial-grade 3D cameras, from intelligent inspection robots to composite robot platforms—continuous product iterations demonstrate deep integration of smart manufacturing and embodied intelligence. The technological sophistication leaves visitors in awe.
During this year’s National People’s Congress sessions, “embodied intelligence” was formally included in the Government Work Report for the first time. At Zhongyuan Dynamics—a national high-tech enterprise rooted in Zhongyuan Science City and driven by technological innovation with embodied intelligence at its core—new industrial application scenarios are constantly emerging, marking the company’s entry into future industry competition.
- Equipping Robots with “Intelligent Vision”
Embodied intelligence, designated as a nationally prioritized future industry, holds limitless potential. “These machine vision 3D products we independently developed may appear compact but deliver powerful functionality,” explained Wan Lihong, co-founder and CTO, while showcasing various innovations. Rows of precision instruments equipped with OD-Vision drag-and-drop machine vision software integrate 2D/3D processing and deep learning algorithms. Capable of point cloud preprocessing, object recognition, and robotic trajectory planning, they reliably identify disorganized items under complex industrial conditions.
3D cameras function as “intelligent eyes” for embodied robots. Since last year, Zhongyuan Dynamics has refined its entire product line, categorizing 3D industrial cameras into four specialized types: grasping, welding, polishing, and measurement—each paired with tailored vision systems and algorithms. Traditional vision systems struggle with complex shapes, material variations, and lighting fluctuations, often failing to achieve precise positioning. Zhongyuan Dynamics’ 3D industrial cameras overcome these challenges through advanced algorithms that swiftly identify workpiece positions, calculate optimal grasping paths, and guide robots to execute tasks efficiently—even for dark-colored or low-reflectivity materials.
The company has independently developed seven 3D camera models supporting high-precision measurement, positioning, polishing, inspection, and welding applications. These cameras leverage superior imaging technology and algorithms to serve industries including new energy, aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and non-ferrous metal smelting, driving intelligent upgrades and efficient production.
- Adhering to Original Aspirations and Seizing Opportunities
New quality productive forces present vast developmental potential and investment opportunities. For tech enterprises, leading in future industries means securing strategic advantages in technological competition. Established in December 2019 and operational since May 2020 as one of Zhongyuan Science City’s first signed enterprises, Zhongyuan Dynamics remains committed to its founding vision: “Originating from Central China, Powering the World.”
In November 2020, the company debuted its first creation—an urban maintenance AI embodied robot—at Zhengzhou East Railway Station. Entirely developed with proprietary algorithms and domestic components, it achieved significant localization in intelligent robotics. Two years later, Zhongyuan Dynamics assisted Luoyang LYC Bearing Co., Ltd. in digitally upgrading bearing production lines. Using 3D vision-guided robotic grasping and modular workflow design, the company automated 11 processes—from raw material sorting to final cooling—establishing a foundational “digital factory.”
In 2023, Zhongyuan Dynamics launched galvanometer-structured light cameras, enhancing robots’ “vision” for microscopic precision. An Inner Mongolian aluminum company immediately deployed multiple vision workstations equipped with these cameras to replace human workers in high-precision carbon block polishing tasks—bringing “future factories” closer to reality.
- Empowering Technology to Explore New Frontiers
Enterprises must track technological frontiers and proactively integrate innovations to maintain competitive advantages. Over four years of operation, Zhongyuan Dynamics has evolved from urban maintenance robots to 3D camera systems. Leveraging its talent pool and technical expertise, the company leads in visual intelligence analysis, robotic arm control, human-machine interaction, and multi-modal perception—laying a robust foundation for growth.
Through continuous innovation in embodied robot technology, Zhongyuan Dynamics empowers clients’ digital transformation, earning recognition as a National High-Tech Enterprise, National Sci-Tech SME, Henan Provincial Specialized SME, Henan AI Robotics R&D Platform, Henan Key AI Enterprise, Henan Postdoctoral Innovation Practice Base, and Henan Innovative SME. Last year, it achieved a milestone by establishing the Henan Provincial Engineering Research Center for Robot Intelligent Interaction Technology.
“Since early 2023, we’ve focused on industrial embodied intelligence—a high-threshold, high-growth sector,” stated Lin Jie, CEO of Zhongyuan Dynamics. “Amid today’s fiercely competitive robotics market, we innovate relentlessly through hardware and algorithmic advancements to discover blue oceans within red oceans.” The company’s commitment to refining embodied robots ensures its leadership in industrial automation’s next evolution.
