Recently, the supporting forum of the 6th China Artificial Intelligence Competition—guided by the Cyberspace Administration of China and the Ministry of Public Security, and hosted by the Xiamen Municipal People’s Government—was successfully held in Xiamen. During the highly anticipated award ceremony, Lequini (Shanghai) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of HK Starharbour Group, was honored with the competition’s highest distinction: an A-Level Certification for its innovative case on embodied intelligence applications.

The 6th China Artificial Intelligence Competition focused on addressing practical demands from national ministries and commissions, industry hotspots, and real-world industrial development needs. Its primary objective is to further drive technological innovation in artificial intelligence (AI), promote deeper integration between AI and the real economy, and accelerate the practical deployment of AI technologies—particularly large models. The event attracted over 700 teams, who submitted more than 1,200 projects. Following rigorous evaluation, 100 outstanding teams were selected to receive either A-Level or B-Level certifications.

According to Lequini’s Product Director, the company’s entry—the autonomous robotic charging gun system based on embodied intelligence—demonstrates a deep integration and innovative breakthrough of AI technology within real-life scenarios. Unlike conventional charging equipment, this project leverages the company’s self-developed multimodal precise localization and recognition algorithms integrated into a robotic arm and dexterous hand. This enables the robot to perform end-to-end intelligent operations, including autonomous navigation, environmental perception and decision-making, precise identification and alignment with vehicle charging ports, and automatic plug-in and plug-out of the charging gun. In essence, it transforms “embodied intelligence” from a theoretical concept into a tangible, deployable capability—endowing AI with a “physical body” capable of autonomous decision-making and efficient task execution in real-world environments.

Mr. Zhao, Chairman of HK Starharbour Group, remarked that embodied intelligence has now been explicitly included in the government work report for the 15th Five-Year Plan period, marking it as a key direction for fostering new-quality productive forces. Its application scenarios are rapidly expanding across various sectors of production and daily life. “This award not only recognizes our accumulated technical expertise but also validates our strategic focus on AI-driven scenario-based applications,” he stated. “It demonstrates how embodied intelligence can be effectively applied across everyday contexts to deliver intelligent services that benefit people’s livelihoods, thereby providing valuable practical references for future large-scale deployment. Moving forward, we will continue to deepen our R&D in embodied intelligence and expand its applications into factories, industrial parks, smart living environments, and beyond—further enhancing the quality and ecosystem of AI scenario-based solutions.”
