“Sharing Advantaged Resources to Drive the Development of the Composite Mobile Robot Industry.”
On September 19, 2023, the Composite Mobile Robotics Ecosystem, led by Shenzhen Youibot Robotics Co., Ltd. and organized by the China Mobile Robotics (AGV/AMR) Industry Alliance (CMRA), officially launched at the Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center. This ecosystem comprises 30 representative companies from the upstream and downstream of the industrial robotics industry.
The Inauguration Ceremony of the 2023 China Composite Mobile Robot Ecosystem – CMRA
The Composite Mobile Robot Ecosystem aims to share advantageous resources, drive the development of composite mobile robot technology, promote the practical application of the industry, enhance the competitiveness of the industrial chain through integrated innovation, and contribute to the intelligent upgrade of the national industrial manufacturing sector.
Mr. Li Jinke, Secretary-General of CMRA, stated, “The establishment of the Composite Mobile Robot Ecosystem can enhance the overall competitiveness of the industry. Through collaborative cooperation between different segments, it promotes technological innovation and advancement in composite mobile robot technology, reduces production costs, enhances production efficiency, optimizes resource allocation, and improves the competitiveness of the entire industry chain. The construction and development of the Composite Mobile Robot Industry Ecosystem can attract more talents and companies to join this industry, further driving its development and growth.”
As the complexity of industrial manufacturing continues to rise, the demand for flexible automation equipment becomes more urgent. Composite mobile robots play a crucial role in bridging the “last mile” of logistics and have become increasingly important in the construction of smart factories. They have been a key development focus since the 14th Five-Year Plan for the robotics industry. At the establishment ceremony of this ecosystem, representative enterprises from both upstream and downstream of the composite mobile robot industry chain provided insights into the current industry development status and future trends from different perspectives.
Youibot Robotics: Collaborating to Build a Composite Robot Ecosystem and Facilitate Industrial Intelligence Upgrade

Mr. Wang Long, Business Expansion Director at Percipio.XYZ delivered a speech during the ceremony
Mr. Wang Long, Business Expansion Director at Percipio.XYZ, delivered a speech during the ceremony, highlighting that in scenarios with high precision and environmental requirements, laser navigation may be more suitable, while in cost-sensitive situations requiring adaptability to complex environments, V-SLAM technology solutions may be more appropriate for composite mobile robots. Graphene Technology can provide cost-effective 3D industrial cameras and accompanying software solutions for composite mobile robot enterprises.
KeLi Photoelectronic: The Application of Sensors in Compound Mobile Robots
Mr. Li Haiming, General Manager of KeLi Photoelectronic, Gives a Speech. – CMRA
The main points of Mr. Li Haiming, General Manager of KeLi Photoelectronic‘s speech are as follows: “As a core sensor for mobile robots, the performance of LiDAR sensors has a significant impact on the overall performance of composite mobile robots. When choosing LiDAR products, obstacle-avoidance LiDAR’s core technological barrier lies in ‘safety,’ while navigation LiDAR’s core technological barrier is ‘precision consistency.’ KeLi Photoelectronic, with decades of expertise in optoelectronics, can provide a series of LiDAR solutions for composite mobile robot enterprises, covering obstacle avoidance and navigation, addressing the core needs of safety and precision consistency.”
Kinco: Efficient Integration, Innovation-Driven – Robot Power Solutions
Mr. Wang Yangyang, Solution Manager at Kinco, Giving a Speech. – CMRA
Mr. Wang Yangyang, the Solution Manager at Kinco, discussed the typical composition of composite mobile robots, which generally consist of two major parts: collaborative robotic arms and mobile chassis. Kinco offers a range of products to support collaborative robots, including frameless torque motors and handheld terminals. Additionally, for mobile chassis, Kinco provides various series of products such as Integrated Servo Wheel Modules (IWMC), embedded MR series, and integrated modules that include drivers, motors, and reducers.
Conclusion
As the only alliance organization in the Chinese mobile robot industry, CMRA has been committed to building a communication and exchange platform for the entire industry chain since its establishment in 2017. They have worked on integrating industry resources and promoting the in-depth application of mobile robots in various fields. The establishment of the Composite Mobile Robot Ecosystem is another strong step taken by the alliance to promote the industry’s development.
In the future, CMRA will continue to establish a more shared and mutually supportive platform, facilitate communication and collaboration among enterprises, and contribute to the development of the Chinese mobile robot industry.
On October 24th, CMRA will hold the “5th International Mobile Robot and Global Logistics Integrators Conference” during the Shanghai CeMAT International Logistics Exhibition. Stay tuned for more exciting developments!
