The 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC) commenced in Beijing on August 8, featuring over 1,500 exhibits from more than 200 domestic and international robotics companies, including over 100 new product premieres. CVTE's self-developed, high-performance industrial-grade quadruped robot, the MAXHUB X7, made its inaugural appearance. Garnering significant attention for its exceptional practical value and robust technical capabilities demonstrated in complex environmental operations, the MAXHUB X7 was awarded the "2025 Embodied Intelligent Robotics Innovation Product" prize at the conference.
MAXHUB X7 Quadruped Robot: An All-Weather "Extreme Environment Specialist"
The MAXHUB X7 Quadruped Robot, which was awarded the "2025 Embodied Intelligent Robot Innovation Product" title, is one of the key representations of CVTE's full-stack in-house research and development capabilities. Designed for complex environments and tasks, it features a precision multi-joint drive structure and an adaptive gait algorithm, enabling it to steadily navigate through challenging terrains such as 35° steep slopes, stairs, and sandy or grassy areas. With an IP66 protection rating, it can continue to operate in extreme conditions, including heavy rain, dust, and temperatures ranging from -20°C to 40°C. This robot can replace humans in performing tasks in dangerous and harsh scenarios.
The MAXHUB X7 has made breakthroughs in several core technologies, such as its fully self-developed intelligent navigation system. Using multi-modal fusion mapping and positioning algorithms, perception algorithms, and planning algorithms, it ensures high positioning accuracy even in open spaces, featureless long corridors, and low-light or no-light environments, enabling it to successfully perform inspection tasks. Additionally, the X7 is equipped with a visible light + infrared dual-camera gimbal, gas sensors, a robotic arm, and even a fire extinguishing device, allowing it to flexibly adapt to tasks such as power inspection and disaster reconnaissance. Its modular design makes the X7 a multi-task platform. Furthermore, the MAXHUB X7 has achieved human-machine collaborative closed-loop operation, capable of autonomously planning paths, scheduling tasks, and returning to base for charging after task completion. Administrators can access real-time monitoring footage and inspection reports via a remote platform.
Technological Accumulation: Full-Stack Self-Development Drives "Extreme Expertise" Strength
CVTE relies on its "Three Institutes and One Station" R&D system, consisting of the Central Research Institute, Central Engineering Institute, Innovation Design Institute, and Postdoctoral Research Station. This system has built a full-stack technological capability for robotics, spanning from algorithm innovation and hardware design to manufacturing validation.
Its intelligent navigation system integrates multi-modal fusion mapping and positioning algorithms, deeply combining various sensors such as LiDAR, odometers, IMU, UWB, GNSS, and vision cameras. This enables the quadruped robot to dynamically update maps, automatically locate globally, adapt to dynamic environments, and perform functions like automatic mapping, automatic zoning, and dynamic target removal. The robot can adapt to various large-scale, complex scenarios both indoors and outdoors. It also supports global path planning, path smoothing, and optimal time trajectory planning based on road networks, enabling efficient and autonomous movement throughout the entire process.
Commercialization and Implementation: Technology-Driven Scalable Applications Across Multiple Scenarios
The practical application capabilities of the MAXHUB X7 quadruped robot have been validated across various fields. During the "May Day" holiday in Guangzhou's Beijing Road, it formed a "human-robot collaboration" patrolling mode with special police officers, enabling 3D security control in complex commercial district terrains. It also undertakes high-risk inspection tasks in Ningxia substations and leading dairy factories. Experts from the China Meteorological Service Association have pointed out that it is expected to become a "mobile sensing node in the intelligent meteorological emergency coordination system, improving disaster response speed."
Currently, in addition to quadruped robots, CVTE's commercial cleaning robots have been deployed in diverse scenarios both domestically and internationally, entering markets in Europe, Southeast Asia, and Japan. They are being widely used in large convenience stores, chain supermarkets, and hotels, achieving rapid revenue growth. These commercial cleaning robots, through CVTE's self-developed IoT protocols, can autonomously call elevators and operate across multiple floors, covering up to 3,000㎡ per day. They are capable of providing cleaning services in high-traffic areas and have overcome operational limitations in industrial scenarios under no-light or low-light conditions, successfully being deployed in the return-air plenum of cleanrooms spanning tens of thousands of square meters at a leading display panel manufacturer.
"We hope that through this exhibition, more industry partners will understand CVTE's development and implementation capabilities in the field of robotics," said Gong Ziyu, President of CVTE's Robotics Business Group. "In the future, the company will continue to increase R&D investment, promote deep integration of robotics technology with industry scenarios, and provide smarter and more reliable solutions for customers worldwide."
