On May 29, the 2025 Zhangjiang Embodied Intelligence Developer Conference and International Humanoid Robot Skills Competition grandly opened at the Zhangjiang Science Hall in Pudong, Shanghai. As one of the world's most influential industry events for three consecutive years, this conference attracted over 200 leading companies in the humanoid, embodied, and industrial chain sectors, as well as more than 1,000 experts, business leaders, and developers. The competition featured five professional tracks, 28 scenarios, with dozens of elite teams from home and abroad competing on the same stage, and a 3,000-square-meter exhibition area showcasing the latest achievements. With the theme "Embodied Intelligence, The Future is Here," the conference adopted a trinity model of "summit + competition + exhibition," focusing on embodied intelligence, humanoid ontology, and application scenarios to showcase breakthroughs in the field of humanoid robots and embodied intelligence, accelerating the transition of humanoid robot technology from laboratories to practical application scenarios, and injecting strong momentum into industrial development.
The 2025 International Humanoid Robot Skills Competition is the world's first professional competition with international influence that features the most complete skill chain, the most comprehensive technology, the most cutting-edge industry, and the widest application fields, representing the highest technical level and scene application capability in the field of embodied intelligence. The core industrial value of humanoid robots at the current stage lies in their ability to solve practical problems, and this competition is a concentrated display of this ability.
As an important part of the conference, the Zhangjiang Humanoid Robot Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition recruited outstanding humanoid robot projects from around the world. The competition set up five tracks, covering humanoid robot application scenario challenge, embodied intelligence application scenario challenge, core components technology innovation competition, humanoid robot football match, and embodied robot talent show. Participants had the opportunity to compete with global outstanding players on the same stage, with super exposure resources to support them.
Nous Robot brought the world's smallest planetary roller screws and high-load electric cylinders, specially designed for dexterous hands, and won the Rising Star Award in the Core Components Technology Innovation Competition.

Nous Robot has always focused on forward design and self-production of planetary roller screws and actuators with complete processes, committed to making planetary roller screws the best solution for linear transmission, and thus becoming a world-leading manufacturer of high-end transmission components and core components for humanoid robots. With significant cost advantages and product performance, Nous Robot's order volume in the field of humanoid robots is already in a leading position in the industry, which is expected to solve the industry pain points of high cost and long delivery time in the mass production stage of humanoid robots. More notably, according to Nous Robot, it has now broken through the bottleneck of stably producing C5-level precision screws, successfully achieved mass production of the world's smallest planetary roller screws with a diameter of 1.5mm and nut diameter of 5.5mm, and obtained commercial verification from leading customers.
