Understand this story
On November 3, 2026, the 2026 Asia International Logistics Technology and Transportation Systems Exhibition (CeMAT) opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Zhiwang Future exhibited its first-generation warehouse mobile picking robot Armstrong and its second-generation Armstrong Pro at the exhibition, and gave on-site demonstrations of multi-robot collaborative picking, autonomous navigation, and precise grasping. According to a November 4 report by Sina Tech, the Armstrong Pro's degrees of freedom have increased from 17 to 22, its effective working height is 0–2.4 meters, and it uses a four-wheel omnidirectional chassis that supports forward and backward movement, lateral movement, diagonal movement, and rotation in place. The same report stated that its warehouse robots have already served a Fortune Global 500 pharmaceutical company and a leading domestic logistics enterprise, and are expected to reach a mass-production scale of 100 units in the first quarter of 2027. There are currently no new developments following this exhibition.

Zhiwang Future Showcases Two Generations of Warehouse Robots at CeMAT Asia, Expects to Reach Mass Production of 100 Units in Q1 2027
Zhiwang Future exhibited its first-generation warehouse mobile picking robot Armstrong and second-generation Armstrong Pro at the CeMAT Asia International Exhibition for Logistics Technology and Transportation Systems, demonstrating on-site multi-robot collaborative picking, autonomous navigation, and precise grasping. The Armstrong Pro's degrees of freedom have increased from 17 to 22, with an effective working height of 0–2.4 meters; it adopts a four-wheel omnidirectional chassis that supports forward and backward movement, lateral movement, diagonal movement, and in-place rotation. Its warehouse robots have already served a Fortune Global 500 pharmaceutical company and leading domestic logistics enterprises, and it is expected to reach a mass production scale of 100 units in the first quarter of 2027.
The Paper
Embodied intelligence enters factories and warehouses: now that the brain is smarter, what else must robots compete on?
At the CeMAT exhibition, companies such as Cainiao, Seer Intelligent, and Yuanli Lingji showcased warehousing and logistics robots, with the focus of competition narrowing down to the time consumed by a single turn and the footprint occupied per storage slot. Cainiao's climbing robot supports four-way tote retrieval and double-deep storage; its curved-path travel saves about two seconds per turn, boosting operating efficiency by 15% and storage density by 20%. In Yuanli Lingji's solution, about 60% of standard goods are handled by economical robotic arms, about 20% of complex goods are handled by embodied robots, and the remaining roughly 20% of long-tail tasks are covered by human workers as a fallback.

The 2026 Asia Logistics Technology Exhibition opened in Shanghai, with Seer Intelligent and Sainade showcasing AI robot logistics applications
The 2026 Asia International Logistics Technology and Transportation Systems Exhibition opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Seer Intelligent showcased a robot brain built around a trinity architecture of "model + cerebellum + nerves," which has been adapted to more than 400 types of core components and supports more than 2,000 robot SKUs. Sainade showcased an autonomous loading and unloading robot that, empowered by a vertical-domain AI model, can identify cargo collapse risks in advance and dynamically adjust grasping strategies, solving the challenge of mixed palletizing with multiple SKUs.

Zhiwang Weilai Appears at CeMAT, Showcasing Warehouse Picking Robot Armstrong Pro in Live Demonstration
Embodied intelligence company Zhiwang Weilai exhibited two generations of warehouse mobile picking robots, Armstrong and Armstrong Pro, at the CeMAT Asia International Exhibition for Logistics Technology and Transportation Systems, and recreated a real warehouse environment with dense shelving and narrow aisles at its booth for live operation demonstrations. The total degrees of freedom of the Armstrong Pro have increased from 17 in the first generation to 22, with an effective working height of 0–2.4 meters; it adopts a four-wheel omnidirectional chassis that supports forward and backward movement, lateral movement, diagonal movement, and in-place rotation. Through its self-developed WISE-RL world model architecture, Zhiwang Weilai distills transferable general manipulation capabilities from real-world operational scenarios.
