On August 27, the 2025 (4th) Welding Robot Technology and Application Summit was grandly held at the Sofitel Shanghai Hongqiao Hotel. As a leading enterprise in the embodied intelligent welding field, 3Srobotics was invited to fully participate in this industry event, not only delivering a keynote speech at the summit to share frontier technical achievements and practical experience, but also winning the “2025 Welding Robot Industry Chain Pioneer Outstanding Product Award” for its outstanding contribution and innovative strength in the industry chain, fully demonstrating the company’s core competitiveness and broad influence in the industry.
Themed “Welding Ushers in an Intelligent New Era, Applications Lead the Change”, this summit revolved around the intelligent and flexible technologies of welding robots, focusing on application practices in fields such as shipbuilding, steel structures and new energy vehicles. The “2025 Intelligent Welding Robot Industry Development Blue Book” was released during the same period, compiled by GGII in collaboration with leading enterprises such as 3Srobotics and Moka Robotics, covering market data (such as 52,500 welding robots sold in China in 2024, expected to reach 57,500 in 2025), technical paths (AI vision, cloud-edge-device collaboration) and typical cases. The Blue Book predicts that the compound growth rate of intelligent welding robot sales from 2025 to 2030 will exceed 43%, significantly higher than traditional equipment.
3Srobotics R&D Vice President Mr. Zhang Xinzhu delivered a keynote sharing on “The Application of Embodied Intelligence in the Welding Field”. Mr. Zhang Xinzhu pointed out that 3Srobotics is a company focused on entering embodied multimodal large-model intelligent robot products from vertical welding scenarios, committed to building “mechanical welders” with autonomous perception, decision-making and execution capabilities for manufacturing enterprises. Through continuous technological R&D and innovation, 3Srobotics is currently undergoing three generations of product iteration, realizing the upgrade from traditional programming-modeled industrial robots to autonomous mobile intelligent welding robots, multi-legged mobile welding robots and humanoid products. As introduced, the new-generation intelligent welding robots launched by 3Srobotics require no manual teaching and omit the model import process. With AI intelligent recognition + 3D reconstruction, they can simultaneously calculate the weld-seam information of nodes within the field of view, automatically plan welding paths, and automatically generate matching welding processes, truly realizing “one-key” production startup.
In the subsequent roundtable dialogue session, hosted by Zheng Liyao, General Manager of GGII Consulting, industry elites including 3Srobotics Deputy R&D Director Mr. Zhang Xinzhu, Megmeet Shipbuilding & Marine Industry Director Mr. Dai Minjie, QJAR & Aishida Robot General Manager Mr. Liang Rui, Weijing Intelligence CEO Dr. Dong Xiaojian, Jiuchuan Robot General Manager Mr. Zhou Dasheng, Xingjian Robot Sales Director Mr. Chen Zhennan, Jiangnan Shipyard Chief Technician Mr. Li Taotao, and Taiyuan Heavy Industry Group Welding Technology Research Institute Director Ms. Fan Liyu, engaged in in-depth and heated discussions on hot topics in the industry such as “What are the needs and requirements of end customers for intelligent welding?”, “Under the trend of intelligent welding, how should industry chain enterprises adapt to market demand?” and “In which scenarios have intelligent welding robots matured? In which scenarios is a breakthrough still difficult?”. The guests, combining their enterprises’ practical experience and industry insights, expressed their views, with intense intellectual collision on site, providing many valuable ideas and insights for the future development direction of the embodied intelligent welding field. Among them, 3Srobotics’ Mr. Zhang Xinzhu stated that the development of welding robots toward embodied intelligence is the general trend and precisely the development direction of 3Srobotics, with future technologies such as autonomous learning and end-to-end, and coordination levels of upper and lower limbs, hand-eye and brain-body, building an embodied robot industry cluster integrating R&D, manufacturing and services.
The award ceremony of the summit became an important moment for 3Srobotics to demonstrate its industry status. After strict review by the industry expert review committee, 3Srobotics successfully won the “2025 Welding Robot Industry Chain Pioneer Outstanding Product Award” for its outstanding performance in core welding robot technology R&D, product innovation capability, market application expansion and industry chain collaboration contribution. This award is not only the industry’s high recognition of 3Srobotics’ comprehensive strength, but also a full affirmation of the company’s contribution to promoting technological progress and high-quality development of the welding robot industry.
The successful holding of this conference not only built a high-end platform for intellectual collision and technical exchange in the industrial embodied intelligence field, but also became an important opportunity for the industry to anchor its future direction. Among them, 3Srobotics, with its deep technical accumulation and breakthrough innovation in the welding field, concretely presented the mature deployment achievements of embodied intelligence in vertical welding scenarios. As industrial embodied AI technology continues to iterate and application scenarios deepen their penetration, 3Srobotics will further leverage its dual advantages of “scenario deep cultivation + technological innovation”, maintaining a leading position in the industrial embodied intelligence wave, empowering manufacturing upgrading with more solid technical practice, and injecting lasting momentum into the industry’s intelligent transformation and efficient development.
