Nowadays, on the side of the airport, a more promising "smart port" is emerging - the Shenzhen "embodied smart port" that spans across the Qianhai and Bao'an regions and covers an area of 23 square kilometers. It is not a traditional industrial park, but a reconstruction of industrial organization based on the logic of "port": technology, talent, and data converge and flow here, and the whole machine, solution, and standard are exported globally.

This vibrant 'port' is home to 139 intelligent enterprises, covering the entire industry ecosystem from computing power to perception models, to core components and complete machines. Outside of 'Hong Kong', as a major industrial and intelligent manufacturing zone in Shenzhen, Bao'an District has over 600 artificial intelligence and robotics enterprises, building a solid industrial foundation in various fields from mechatronics integration to intelligent sensors, intelligent terminals, and more.

The most intuitive impression of the "embodied intelligent port" is that it is adjacent to Bao'an International Airport, and high value-added robot machines and precision components can be quickly delivered globally through the airport.

This is a highly innovative port. At the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in July, the industrial vitality of the "embodied intelligent port" was vividly demonstrated - among the more than 120 companies attending in Shenzhen, 18 companies such as Luxshare Precision, Meige Intelligence, Daimeng Robotics, Tongchuan Technology, and Jixuan Power came from the "port", indicating the degree of industrial agglomeration.

Strawberries have a delicate and fragile texture, while mangoes have a smooth and easy to slip skin. The robot accurately recognizes object attributes, dynamically adjusts grasping force, angle, and speed, and successfully completes the fruit packaging task; Pinching the zipper head, the robot's arms work together to fine tune the magnitude and direction of the force applied, even if the pencil case is deformed, it can smoothly complete the entire storage process... The Daimeng robot from the "embodied intelligent port" showcased a series of "delicate tasks" on site, attracting a lot of attention.

Behind many fine operations is the native tactile physical world model technology system developed by Daimeng Robotics. The core is to use self-developed tactile sensors that surpass human perception capabilities, collect real operational data containing tactile information on a large scale, and continuously train them to run through the entire physical AI capability system of 'perception data model', so that robots can demonstrate generalization and stable agile operation capabilities in various task scenarios. ”The person in charge of Daimeng Robotics said.

At present, the robotics industry is in a critical stage of rapid iteration, and innovation teams generally face common challenges such as core component procurement, interdisciplinary technology integration, engineering testing and validation, and mass production process optimization. Some technological achievements are stuck in the key link from the laboratory to the production line.

The solution for Shenzhen's "embodied intelligent port" is to build a complete industrial ecosystem around research and development, pilot testing, scenario verification, mass production, and going global. Public service platforms such as the National Artificial Intelligence Application Pilot Base and the Guangdong Province Artificial Intelligence and Robot Overseas Service Center have respectively settled in the "port" to provide support for pilot conversion, product selection, common technology research and development, and international market docking, enabling enterprises to complete the full process connection from "patent making" to "product making", from "prototype making" to "production line inspection".

In April of this year, another important step was taken in the construction of the "embodied intelligent port" - the AIR Design House Global Robot Development and Selection Service Center was officially launched. The center has established an integrated innovation service system that covers the global robot industry chain display, product development and design engineering services, industry exchange and docking, and enterprise landing services. It is expected to systematically solve the common problems faced by robot innovation teams in industrialization landing.

Unlike traditional 4S and 6S stores, such service centers focus more on product selection during the development and secondary development stages, fully tapping into the value of the industry chain. ”Tan Weijia, the full-time secretary general of Shenzhen Robot Association, said.

Since its establishment, the center has promoted the online and offline docking of industrial chain enterprises, and has facilitated cooperation between Fuliye Robotics and Tongchuan Technology in the integration of reducers, Galaxy General and Zhaowei Electromechanical in dexterous hands, and Langte Intelligence and Zhuji Power in printed circuit board assembly and outsourcing. The synergy of the industrial chain is being transformed into tangible industrial achievements.

Currently, embodied intelligence, as the forefront direction of deep integration between AI and advanced manufacturing, is in a critical window period from technological breakthroughs to industrial scale implementation. Whoever can first connect the complete chain of "technology product mass production market" at this stage will be able to gain an advantage in the future global industrial landscape.

The "Hong Kong" gene determines that the "embodied intelligent port" has been closely connected to the global market since its inception. In the view of Zhang Xutao, Deputy Director of the Science and Technology Innovation Bureau of Bao'an District, 'Port' is not only a physical space, but also a communication logic. The core value of 'Port' is to enable enterprises to efficiently connect resources and quickly access the market, just like the flow of goods in the port.

Compared to the outline of the 15th Five Year Plan, the positioning of Shenzhen's "embodied intelligent port" has become increasingly clear: it is not satisfied with being a regional industrial agglomeration zone, but rather uses the "port" as a strategic pivot to create an internationally influential embodied intelligent industry innovation leading zone and a global overseas base.

From the beginning of planning, 'embodied intelligent port' has made 'going global' its core functional area. The establishment of the Guangdong Artificial Intelligence and Robot Overseas Service Center enables enterprises within the port to directly access international market information, connect with overseas channels, and engage in cross-border cooperation. The logistics express delivery at the airport comes first, and the channel docking with the overseas service center comes later. The path for enterprises within the "port" from research and development to global delivery has been opened up.

From technology sourcing and scenario verification to industrial agglomeration and global expansion, the "embodied intelligent port" is transforming national strategies into tangible industrial realities. Zhang Xutao said that with the deepening of the "15th Five Year Plan" outline, this "smart port" rising above the airport is expected to build a new global connectivity pattern driven by both "physical port" and "smart port" in Shenzhen, and write a "Shenzhen footnote" for the high-quality development of China's embodied intelligent industry.
