The 2026 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference is getting closer, and Zhongguancun, this “tropical rainforest” of innovation and entrepreneurship, is exuding a breath of exploration and development. Sixty-four characteristic industrial parks in Zhongguancun, including embodied intelligence, cell and gene therapy, and biomanufacturing, have risen rapidly, forming an innovation ecosystem chain from research and development to deployment, with total revenue surpassing 1.2 trillion yuan.

At the Beijing Zhongguancun (Haidian) Embodied Intelligence Innovation Industrial Park, products such as surgical robots and humanoid robots are accelerating research and development and delivery to customers. This is the country’s first industrial park named “Embodied Intelligence,” where tenants vividly describe the park as “upstairs and downstairs are upstream and downstream.”

“Our products are installed in more than 50 hospitals nationwide, including Beijing, Guizhou, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and in the Northeast,” said Wang Yu, founder and chairman of LuoSenBoTe Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “LuoSenBoTe”), standing in front of a domestically produced intelligent orthopedic robot.

As a university researcher with 20 years of experience in medical engineering, Wang Yu transitioned from the lab to the operating room, leading the team to achieve a critical breakthrough in orthopedic surgical robots from “0 to 1.”

Wang Yu explained that treating pelvic fractures is a major challenge in orthopedic trauma surgery. Traditional open surgeries involve large incisions, leading to postoperative infections, nerve damage, and wound healing issues. Elderly patients, in particular, often cannot tolerate open surgery and must opt for conservative treatment, which involves long bed rest and significantly increases the risk of death.

In 2014, he and his team focused on the core pain points of orthopedic trauma surgery, developing medical robots through digital means to “replicate” clinical experts’ practical operations. They independently developed LuoSenWanXiang intelligent orthopedic surgical robot, reducing the incision size for pelvic fracture surgery from 20 centimeters to 2 centimeters, and blood loss from over 2,000 milliliters to less than 100 milliliters, truly achieving minimally invasive treatment with “less trauma, fewer incisions, less bleeding, and less pain.”

To date, LuoSenBoTe’s orthopedic robots have covered 22 provinces and cities nationwide, completing over 800 complex orthopedic surgeries, forming an overall intelligent orthopedic surgical solution, and driving orthopedic surgery into an era of “smart” treatment through technological innovation.

Below LuoSenBoTe, Nuoyiteng Robot Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Nuoyiteng Robots”) researchers are wearing motion capture devices, operating humanoid robots to perform actions such as stepping and punching.

Li Yao, Vice President and Partner of Nuoyiteng Robots, explained that the company is addressing common industry issues such as insufficient training data supply and quality imbalance in the embodied intelligence field by focusing on the foundational layer of data infrastructure. They are building a capability system centered on data acquisition, processing, delivery, and long-term utilization. Relying on mature motion capture and human-computer interaction technologies, the company has established standardized processes and high-precision multimodal data collection in a factory setting, including field data collection in complex real-world environments and scene generalization data accumulation. They continuously explore human-centered data pathways to systematically enhance data authenticity, generalization, and long-term reuse value.

Currently, Nuoyiteng Robots has built a data factory and plans to establish a new generation data factory and robot training ground in Haidian District, Beijing, to further improve large-scale data production and model validation capabilities, and strengthen collaborative innovation with research institutions and industry players.

Meanwhile, LuoSenBoTe is advancing the registration and application for an end-to-end AI planning software, expected to be approved in the first half of 2027. At that time, the surgical procedures for orthopedic operations will be further simplified—doctors will only need to input the patient’s CT data, and the system will automatically generate personalized surgical plans.

Why can the innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem of “upstairs and downstairs are upstream and downstream” succeed and thrive in Beijing? Wang Yu’s answer is that China leads globally in clinical resources, with top domestic hospital experts handling far more complex cases than their international counterparts, providing rich practical experience. Additionally, China’s high-end intelligent hardware industry chain is becoming increasingly complete, with high-precision miniature motors and collaborative robotic arms reaching world-leading levels, providing solid confidence for technological innovation.

More importantly, Beijing’s high-quality science and technology innovation ecosystem offers a broad stage for hard-tech startups. According to data from the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and Zhongguancun Science Park Management Committee, Zhongguancun has formed a trillion-yuan-level industry cluster in next-generation information technology, nine industry clusters exceeding hundreds of billions in pharmaceuticals, health, and integrated circuits, providing a vital source of innovation for hard-tech entrepreneurial teams.

The Central Economic Work Conference held in December 2025 explicitly proposed building Beijing (Jing-Jin-Ji) as an international science and technology innovation center, expanding the Beijing International Science and Technology Innovation Center to the Jing-Jin-Ji region. During the 14th Five-Year Plan, Beijing will accelerate the construction of a world-leading Zhongguancun Science Park, promote efficient linkage of the “Three Cities and One Zone,” and build the Xiong’an New Area Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park to coordinate the development of Binhai-Zhongguancun Science Park, Jing-Jin Zhongguancun Science City, and Baoding Zhongguancun Innovation Center, improving the efficiency and proportion of scientific and technological achievements transformation within the region.
