Shenzhen Polytechnic University partners with Ubtech Robotics to establish the nation's first embodied intelligence industry college at a vocational undergraduate institution

On January 9, 2026, Shenzhen Polytechnic University (hereinafter referred to as 'Shenzhen Polytechnic') and Shenzhen Ubtech Robotics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Ubtech Robotics') signed a cooperation agreement to jointly buildThe first embodied intelligence industry college at a national vocational undergraduate institution, deepening the integration of industry and education in the embodied intelligence and humanoid robotics fields, and contributing to the cultivation of high-end technical talents. This collaboration aims at "building new highlands for talent and data in the humanoid robotics industry," marking a crucial step in industry-education integration and collaborative innovation within the embodied intelligence domain. It will inject strong momentum into the high-quality development of the embodied intelligence industry.

Shenzhen Polytechnic University President Xu Jianling and Ubtech Robotics Senior Vice President Zhong Yong delivered speeches on behalf of both parties and signed the cooperation agreement. In his speech, President Xu Jianling pointed out that industry-education integration is the soul of vocational education, with the school consistently building an industry-education integration ecosystem around Shenzhen's '20+8' industrial cluster needs. As embodied intelligence has been incorporated into the national future industrial development plan, this collaboration with Ubtech Robotics comes at the right time, which willcreate a demonstration benchmark integrating talent cultivation, technology application, and standard development.In his speech, Zhong Yong stated that Ubtech Robotics has been deeply engaged in innovative R&D and industrial implementation of intelligent robots, fully aware of the pivotal role talent plays in promoting high-quality industrial development. As a 'flagship' of vocational education in China, Shenzhen Polytechnic University has achieved remarkable results in cultivating highly skilled talent. This joint establishment of an industry college represents a strategic choice responding to technological advancements and industrial transformations. Ubtech Robotics will leverage its technological, industrial, and ecological advantages in intelligent robots and artificial intelligence,to explore innovative integration pathways combining 'robots + artificial intelligence + education,' incorporating cutting-edge technologies, real-world projects, and corporate standards throughout the talent cultivation process.，and build a new paradigm for collaborative talent cultivation between schools and enterprises.

In the future, the Embodied Intelligence Industry College will take 'high starting point, high standards, and high quality to create a national demonstration benchmark' as its core objective, focusing on establishingfour key functional platforms: the Humanoid Robotics Co-Research and Co-Creation Center, the Excellence Talent Training Center, the Production Process Humanoid Robotics Model Training Center, and the Industrial Certification & Achievement Transformation Center.These platforms will promote project-based talent cultivation in embodied intelligence technology applications, reserve high-end technical skills talent for the robotics industry, and drive technical breakthroughs and achievements in the embodied intelligence sector. The two parties will also deepen cooperation in areas such as industry and talent training standards co-construction, specialized program development, vertical domain large model creation for vocational education, faculty ecosystem, and practice center co-building, aiming to develop the industry college into a high-level platform integrating talent cultivation, technology R&D, innovation incubation, and social services.

The industry-education integration platform jointly built by the school and enterprise will not only cultivate urgently needed high-end technical talents for the embodied intelligence and humanoid robotics industries in Shenzhen and across the country but also, through data sharing, technological co-creation, and standards co-building, bridge the gap from The transformation channel from "lab technology" to "market product" provides strong support for the development of new quality productive forces. In the future, both parties will continue to deepen cooperation, striving to build the industrial college into a replicable and promotable vocational education demonstration benchmark, contributing to the construction of Chinese modernizationwith "Shenzhen Vocational Strength" and the "Ubtech Robotics Solution".
