Ace Robotics boasts AI achievements, looks toward future at WAIC

During the 2026 World AI Conference, Shanghai-based Ace Robotics unveiled several achievements, including the Enlightenment World Model 3.1 (Kairos 3.1), the Environmental Data Collection Solution 2.0, and a complete set of commercial solutions covering three major vertical scenarios.

The solutions are Xiao Man, Xiao Xin, and Xiao Tu. Xiao Man has been implemented in convenient stores; Xiao Xin is applied in hotels, and Xiao Tu can flexibly adapt to various forms of quadruped robot bodies.

"The first principles of the embodied world model are proposed, which relies on multimodal high-density information extraction to minimize the trial-and-error costs of robot actions in complex and uncertain environments, accelerating the 'enlightenment' moment of physical AI," Wang Xiaogang, president of Ace Robotics, said.

Chuan-Wei Kuo, chief scientist at Genora Science, said AI had already entered sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, finance, scientific research, and office productivity, primarily through pilot projects and assistive tools. The next stage, he said, will see AI become more deeply embedded in companies' core business operations and day-to-day workflows.
