YiFei Technology debuts at the Hangzhou Embodied Intelligence Conference | On-site demonstration of ODM humanoid chassis unlocks universal compatibility and core hardware capabilities

June 25,The 3rd Embodied Humanoid Robotics Application Expansion Conference 2026 and the 1st Embodied Humanoid Robotics Integrators Forumwas successfully held at the Hangzhou Shuibo Garden Hotel. This year’s conference centered on“Integration-Driven Application Fragmentation”as its core theme, bringing together stakeholders across the entire humanoid robotics value chain—including upstream and downstream players, technical experts, system integrators, and industrial capital—to focus on key topics such as hardware chassis iteration, commercialization in real-world scenarios, and open ODM collaboration.

YiFei Technology (stock code: 06871.HK) made a strong appearance with its full lineup of in-house developed ODM humanoid wheeled chassis. Zhang Xu, Deputy General Manager of YiFei Technology and General Manager of its Business Unit, delivered a keynote speech accompanied by live dynamic demonstrations of the chassis, comprehensively showcasing YiFei’s technological edge and mass production and delivery capabilities in standardized, general-purpose chassis—and positioning the company as the “Foxconn of the embodied intelligence era.”

ODM humanoid chassis are fundamentally about flexibility, compatibility, and universality.

The humanoid robotics industry currently faces widespread challenges including high customization costs, significant barriers to hardware-software integration, and limited reusability across application scenarios—all of which severely hinder small and medium-sized integrators from rapidly deploying humanoid projects. Zhang Xu, CEO of YiFei Mobile Robotics, presented a talk titled “The Core of ODM Humanoid Chassis: Flexibility, Compatibility, and Universality,” thoroughly unpacking the underlying design logic of YiFei’s self-developed chassis across four key dimensions: chassis architecture, drive coordination, standardization of hardware-software interfaces, and multi-scenario adaptability optimization.

Asymmetric modular architecture enabling rapid replacement of all components

Adopts a dedicated asymmetric layout to optimize front-rear weight distribution,specifically addressing the industry-wide challenge of imbalanced weight distribution when robots handle heavy loads; radar, battery, upper-body frame, and wiring harnesses are all standardized and modularized for rapid disassembly, replacement, and elimination of the need for full-chassis retooling; a unified standard hip docking interface enables one-click compatibility with various upper-body equipment, avoiding redundant R&D costs from the outset.

Full-domain high mobility—mobility is the foundation of all operations

– Top speed of 2 m/s for maximum operational efficiency; emergency stop in under 1 second ensures controllable driving safety

– Superior hill-climbing capability and adaptive performance across diverse terrains, with real-time posture correction on bumpy surfaces for stable, smooth gait

– Quick-swap 5.5- or 6-inch wheels ensure heavy-load stability with upright columns and full coverage of articulated-arm work envelopes

Full ecosystem compatibility, breaking down hardware-software integration barriers

✅ Controller compatibility:not limited to a single brand, fully compatible with three types of control systems — The AGV controller functions as the robot’s cerebellum, the remote operation controller and embodied controller serve as its brain, and all three types of controllers seamlessly integrate with the chassis.

✅ Perception system compatibility: 360° automotive-grade LiDAR, single-line LiDAR, visual cameras for multi-layer obstacle avoidance, combined with safety bumpers, meeting both EU and industrial safety standards.

✅ Communication system compatibility: multiple communication options including 5G, Wi-Fi, video transmission, and fiber-optic navigation, configurable based on requirements.

✅ Power system compatibility: multiple battery configurations freely combinable, supporting hot-swapping and autonomous battery replacement by the robot. Default configuration includes one 20Ah LFP battery and one 40Ah NMC battery, but other combinations such as 20Ah LFP + 32Ah LFP or dual 20Ah NMC batteries are also available.

One chassis, multiple uses: wheeled chassis = humanoid platform + general-purpose AGV.

Universal integrated design supports diverse applications across industrial inspection, law enforcement equipment, commercial service, academic research, and intelligent toys. Switch freely between remote-control and autonomous modes, enabling a single chassis to support multiple upper-layer application solutions and truly achieve cross-scenario reuse.

Live dynamic on-site demonstration offers an intuitive experience of the mass-production-ready chassis’s robust capabilities.

At the exhibition’s dedicated demo zone, YiFei showcases the chassis with a transparent shell, fully exposing the integrated wiring harness and embedded controllers. The modular internal structure is clearly visible, allowing attendees to instantly grasp the standardized underlying design. Live operational demonstrations comprehensively showcase core functionalities including omnidirectional movement, slope climbing, steady straight-line driving, seamless transitions between high/low-speed gaits, and agile in-place turning.

Numerous system integrators, equipment manufacturers, and research institutions paused to observe the demonstrations and held in-depth discussions with YiFei’s technical team regarding ODM custom manufacturing, bulk delivery timelines, end-to-end technical support, joint scenario development, and collaborative project proposals.

End-to-end mass production and delivery, with open collaboration for one-stop ODM/OEM services.

YiFei Technology has been deeply engaged in mobile robotics for years, covering the full R&D and manufacturing chain for AGVs, composite robots, and humanoid bases, delivering lightweight, cost-effective humanoid implementation solutions:

▫️ End-to-end in-house R&D: one-stop development support spanning industrial design, mechanical structure, electronic control, and algorithms

▫️ Rapid delivery capability: prototype ready in 30 days, mass production achieved within 90 days

▫️ Flexible collaboration models: optional OEM/ODM arrangements, with standardized modular base platforms and dedicated custom manufacturing services offered concurrently

▫️ Full-lifecycle support: open-source hardware and software documentation, after-sales technical support, and joint application scenario co-development deployed simultaneously

Although YiFei possesses comprehensive in-house capabilities for end-to-end humanoid robot development, it has chosen to open up its core base platform to build a shared industry infrastructure, empowering universities and enterprises to efficiently develop their own products. Leveraging its complete full-stack foundational technology portfolio, YiFei can handle 90% of underlying R&D, hardware integration, and mass-production tasks across the industry, enabling partners to focus solely on the 10% of differentiated functionality specific to their niche. This end-to-end, one-stop support capability is unparalleled in the industry. We are committed to avoiding closed, single-model approaches—instead, we provide standardized, open base platforms to lower industry entry barriers and act as the ‘shovel supplier’ of the embodied intelligence era, helping ecosystem partners bypass foundational R&D hurdles and rapidly achieve prototype deployment and volume delivery of humanoid robots.

Co-building an open humanoid industry ecosystem to accelerate real-world application scaling

From industrial logistics AGVs to embodied humanoid robots, YiFei continues to drive standardization, affordability, and scalability of humanoid base platforms. At this Hangzhou conference, YiFei presented new mass-production implementation strategies through a dual format of technical presentations and live dynamic demonstrations. Moving forward, YiFei will continuously iterate base hardware, enhance open-source support, and upgrade its ODM customization service system, working hand-in-hand with integrators and end-user enterprises to co-create a collaborative, open embodied robotics industry ecosystem and propel high-quality, large-scale development of China’s humanoid robotics sector.
