At the 2026 Bund Conference technology exhibition, AntLingWave Technology demonstrated several noteworthy technologies that, while not flashy, were attention-grabbing: robots that can precisely pick a box of medicine from a shelf and deliver it to the user, while continuously performing sorting tasks in logistics environments and handling loading and unloading operations on industrial production lines. This is the highlight worth noting in this exhibition area. In recent years, the focus of the robotics industry has been on running, jumping, and doing somersaults. However, when robots truly enter pharmacies, warehouses, and factories, problems start to become complex: they not only need to perform actions but also need to understand the environment, grasp tasks, predict changes, and operate continuously without pre-set environments.
AntLingWave is trying to solve this problem.
AntLingWave's smart pharmacy technology achieves practical application
The most representative case in the exhibition area is a "smart pharmacy" brought to the site. After receiving an order, a robot quickly moves to the shelf, extends its arm dexterously, and precisely picks up a box of medicine from the shelf, then delivers it to the medicine collection window. This is the "robot smart pharmacy" created by AntLingWave in collaboration with Shanghai Guoda Pharmacy, which is currently in actual operation in various retail stores of Guoda Pharmacy. The AntLingWave staff on site pointed out that the actual pharmacy environment is more complex, with similar box sizes, dense packaging, the narrowest aisle between shelves being only about 80 centimeters, and various visual interferences such as transparent packaging, reflections, and random placement.
In such an environment, the robot equipped with the LingWave brain can autonomously receive orders, identify the target medicine, complete the tasks of grasping, picking, and delivery, and assist pharmacists in medicine sorting during night shifts. More importantly, no modifications are needed for the store.
For a long time, the robotics industry has faced the challenge of "dedicated machines": if you want to perform workshop handling tasks, you need to rewrite a set of control code; changing the structure of the robotic arm means that the previous algorithms need to be almost completely redone. AntLingWave's solution is the "embodied native general brain." At the exhibition site, logistics and industrial scenarios used different robots such as Leju and Tihu, but the "brain" behind them was all LingBot-VLA 2.0, a model independently developed by LingWave. Currently, LingBot-VLA 2.0 has been adapted to 17 mainstream robot brands and 20 types of robot configurations in the pre-training stage, covering single-arm, dual-arm, bipedal, and wheeled robots.
The development of embodied AI technology will drive industry transformation
At the LingWave exhibition area, two significant changes in the embodied AI industry can be seen. Firstly, technically, the robot brain has begun to achieve generalization. It is understood that the LingWave brain can support 17 types of robot structures in the pre-training stage. Secondly, in terms of industrial value, the scale of robots serving real-world scenarios has begun to be realized. Taking the LingWave pharmacy scenario as an example, what is displayed in the exhibition hall is not a simple demonstration, but a real service being carried out in Shanghai Guoda Pharmacy.
From this perspective, what LingWave showcases at the Bund Conference is not just a few robots that can work. It truly verifies that when robots have a brain that can transcend bodies, tasks, and continuous learning, embodied AI begins to move from the laboratory to the real physical world.
Regarding the current issues faced by the industry, such as underlying algorithms, data flywheels, hardware bodies, and industrial scenarios, at the "On the Base: The Breakthrough and Co-evolution of Embodied AI" insight forum at the Bund Conference, AntLingWave will have in-depth discussions with top scientists and CEOs of billion-dollar embodied AI companies, focusing on the two core themes of "building an embodied ecosystem" and "real-world scenario implementation," and jointly exploring the direction of industry breakthroughs around the development trends of the industry and technological breakthroughs. At the main forum, AntLingWave's Chief Scientist Shen Yujun will participate in the roundtable session "Physical Intelligence – Differences and Choices," joining multiple young scholars and leading entrepreneurs to jointly diagnose the development path of embodied AI and share in-depth insights on how LingWave relies on the embodied native brain to solve real-world scenarios, in the context of the generational leap from "competing on bodies" to "competing on brains" in the industry.
During the conference, LingWave will also jointly unveil the AntLingWave Embodied AI Model Challenge with the Modashi Community and Alibaba Cloud Tianchi, opening the technological capabilities and scenario needs accumulated in the industry to developers across society, accelerating the prosperity of the embodied AI algorithm ecosystem.
