Hong Kong’s First Embodied AI Humanoid Robotics Company Officially Launched — HK ROBOTICS (00370.HK) Hosts Industry Forum and Highlights Cloud AI Brain Applications

On the afternoon of June 16, 2025, Hong Kong Robotics Group Holding Limited (HK ROBOTICS, stock code: 00370.HK), the first company in Hong Kong focused on embodied AI humanoid robotics, hosted the “Hong Kong Intelligent Robotics Development Prospects Forum and HK ROBOTICS Embodied AI Brand Strategy Launch Event” at the Hong Kong Science Park.

This event marked the global debut of embodied AI humanoid robot technology developed in Hong Kong, presented by Hong Kong Robotics Limited, a joint venture between HK ROBOTICS and Dataa Robotics, which is the only national-level platform dedicated to the “AI + Robotics” field. With a strategy driven by synergies between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, between technology and finance, between market and operations, and between ecosystem and applications, the company is fast-tracking the commercial deployment of humanoid robots.

Approximately 150 distinguished guests attended the event, including representatives from the Hong Kong SAR Government, academic experts in artificial intelligence, industry leaders, and institutional investors. The gathering was met with widespread acclaim from participants.

Mr. Chan Ho-lim, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the Hong Kong SAR Government, emphasized the government’s continued focus on advancing the development of artificial intelligence and robotics. He highlighted several initiatives, including the Innovation and Technology Industry-Oriented Fund (ITIF), the New Industrialization Acceleration Scheme (NIAS), and the New Industrialization Funding Scheme (NIFS), all aimed at supporting intelligent manufacturing and promoting the application of advanced technologies. These policies are intended to boost the development of high-value-added and intelligent industries and to accelerate the commercialization of R&D achievements.

Mr. Liu Hongzhi, Founder and Chairman of the Hong Kong investment firm TGG, stated that HK ROBOTICS stood out as a leading partner following extensive due diligence. He commended the company’s pioneering technology and its people-centric mission, ranging from the HARIX Cloud AI Robot Operating System to its goal of empowering human advancement.

Mr. Qin Jie, CEO of HK ROBOTICS, explained that the company is Hong Kong’s first robotics brand dedicated to embodied AI. By leveraging the technological strengths of the Greater Bay Area and focusing on real-world applications, HK ROBOTICS aims to become a frontrunner in both technological development and commercial deployment within the robotics industry.

Embodied AI Revolution: Shaping a New Era in Robotics Commercialization

HK ROBOTICS distinguishes itself by adopting a model driven by embodied AI, real-world scenarios, and commercial orders. This strategy addresses the long-standing challenges of limited application and commercialization faced by traditional robotics companies operating primarily in lab environments. The company is initially focused on intelligent property management, smart healthcare, elderly care, and smart education.

During the event, HK ROBOTICS officially unveiled a lineup of new humanoid robots, including Cloud Ginger, described as the most caring humanoid robot; Cloud Ranger, the intelligent patrol robot with the highest payload capacity; and Cloud Buddy, a humanoid robot featuring the most joint movements. A choreographed dance performance by five Cloud Ginger robots to the song “Pearl of the East” captivated the audience and received unanimous praise.

In a key moment of the event, HK ROBOTICS signed strategic cooperation agreements with leading companies such as Meinian Onehealth (002044.SZ), FSE Lifestyle Services Limited (00331.HK), CalmCar, and DEEWIN (02418.HK), targeting the fields of healthcare and smart property management. Mr. Gao Yijun, a representative from FSE Lifestyle Services Limited, expressed strong confidence in the partnership and noted HK ROBOTICS’s global leadership in humanoid robotics technology.

A comparative analysis of policies between Hong Kong and Singapore underscored Hong Kong’s advantages in tax incentives and R&D subsidies, resulting in operational cost reductions of up to 20% for enterprises. HK ROBOTICS plans to fully leverage the collaborative potential between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong to establish a complete industrial chain that encompasses research and development, production, and commercialization.

Mr. Huang Xiaoqing, Chairman of Hong Kong Robotics Limited, elaborated on the company's strategy to promote industry advancement. The company aims to build an Embodied AI Network Research Institute, which already holds more than 1,800 patents. The institute will support the standardized and modular mass production of embodied AI robots, significantly reducing hardware costs. In parallel, HK ROBOTICS is focusing on implementing multiple real-world application scenarios, with a strong emphasis on property services, healthcare for the elderly, and smart education. The company also plans to establish a global operations center and robotic production facilities in Hong Kong to scale up deployment. While continuous advancements in edge-side capabilities are crucial for embodied AI robots, Mr. Huang emphasized that the company is placing its primary focus on the development and integration of the Cloud AI Brain. He explained that the Cloud AI Brain serves as the core of the company’s strategy, enabling real-time data processing, intelligent decision-making, and seamless coordination across multiple robots. “The Cloud AI Brain is not just a technological backbone but a key driver for scaling up applications and achieving true autonomy in humanoid robotics,” Mr. Huang stated.

In terms of mainland expansion, HK ROBOTICS is collaborating with the Nantong Municipal Government to develop the HK ROBOTICS Eldercare Demonstration Project. The project aims to serve 1,200 to 1,500 households, reaching approximately 3,000 users, and is designed to address challenges such as high labor costs and slow response times.

Within the healthcare sector, the company is working with leading health checkup organizations to establish intelligent diagnostic centers equipped with robots that offer health screening and traditional Chinese medicine consultation services. In commercial settings, HK ROBOTICS is deploying disaster warning and patrol robots to support the operational needs of Hong Kong real estate companies. The company plans to roll out over 1,000 robot units across four categories over the next three years.

For smart education, HK ROBOTICS is partnering with the Institute of Computing Technology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop a new generation of educational robots and build AI learning bases in Sichuan, Henan, and Guizhou provinces.

Taking advantage of Hong Kong's financial infrastructure and international perspective, HK ROBOTICS intends to accelerate its overseas expansion efforts. The company will focus on Southeast Asia’s senior housing and eldercare market, as well as North America’s educational robotics sector.

Seizing the Turning Point: "Order-Driven" Strategy Secures First-Mover Advantage

With the humanoid robotics industry entering a critical growth phase, reports from McKinsey predict that robots will replace 15% of the global labor force by 2030, with a market valuation exceeding US$30 trillion. Goldman Sachs projects that industrial humanoid robots will achieve cost-effectiveness by 2024 and that consumer robots will do so by 2028.

Adopting an “order-driven” approach, HK ROBOTICS is positioning itself to lead during this pivotal window. In the future, the company will continue to enhance its capabilities in dynamic environmental interaction, multimodal sensing, and autonomous task planning. It aims to evolve from adaptive intelligence toward fully autonomous decision-making.

Under the combined momentum of favorable policy, robust technological infrastructure, and strong capital support, HK ROBOTICS is committed to becoming a globally competitive brand rooted in Hong Kong. The company is striving to bring truly intelligent and practical embodied AI humanoid robots to the international market, reshaping the global robotics landscape.
