• Schaeffler and Qianxun AI Establish Strategic Partnership in Embodied Intelligence
• The two parties will engage in in-depth collaboration in areas such as embodied robot data collection, core components, and industrial application scenarios
• Schaeffler continues to expand global partnerships, jointly advancing the development of the embodied intelligence and humanoid robot industry

BeijingJune 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On June 3, Schaeffler, a technology company focused on drive technology, and Qianxun AI, an embodied intelligence company, officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will engage in in-depth collaboration in areas such as embodied intelligence data collection, humanoid robot core components, and industrial application scenarios, working together to accelerate the deployment and industrialization of embodied large models and humanoid robot technology in advanced manufacturing.

Multi-Dimensional Collaboration to Build an Embodied Intelligence Technology Closed Loop

High-quality data collection based on real-world scenarios and large model iterative training are indispensable foundations for embodied intelligence to move out of the laboratory, bridge the gap in technology deployment, and advance toward large-scale industrial applications. As a globally leading drive technology expert, Schaeffler leverages decades of deep expertise in the automotive and industrial sectors, possessing outstanding manufacturing technology and a wealth of industrial application scenarios. Qianxun AI focuses on building a “general-purpose brain” for robots, dedicated to developing general-purpose embodied large models to help embodied intelligence transition from virtual to real-world deployment.

Leveraging their respective core strengths, the two parties will collaborate on embodied data collection and application, building a complete technology closed loop of “real-world data – embodied model – real-world scenario application” to support the development and deployment of the embodied intelligence industry. Additionally, they will cooperate in the field of humanoid robot core components, such as electric lifting columns, sensors, and rotary joints. Beyond establishing a long-term, stable strategic procurement partnership, they will also coordinate research and development efforts on related components, focusing on industry trends and technological upgrade directions in embodied intelligence and humanoid robots. This mutual empowerment will drive technological innovation and product iteration and upgrades.

Currently, the two parties have already initiated preliminary practices in industrial application scenarios for humanoid robots. Based on Qianxun AI’s humanoid robot platform and with support from Qianxun AI’s R&D team, Schaeffler has successfully completed a box-folding application verification for a real production line. This solution can flexibly handle packaging boxes of different sizes and shapes, significantly improving on-site operational efficiency.

Ecosystem Co-Building to Promote High-Quality Industry Development

Currently, embodied intelligence and humanoid robots are in a critical period of transitioning from technology R&D to industrial deployment. Building an upstream and downstream collaborative industrial ecosystem is key to driving large-scale industry development and accelerating commercialization. With decades of deep expertise in drive technology, Schaeffler not only offers a rich portfolio of humanoid robot-related products and solutions but also possesses outstanding manufacturing technology and innovation capabilities, making it a trustworthy technology partner in the humanoid robot ecosystem.

Han Fengtao, Founder and CEO of Qianxun AI, stated: “The large-scale deployment of embodied intelligence requires deep collaboration and co-building across the entire industry chain. Schaeffler has deep expertise and a global industrial ecosystem in industrial manufacturing and core components, which highly complements Qianxun AI’s embodied large model technology and real-world deployment capabilities. The two parties will work together to open up the entire chain of industrial data collection, collaborative R&D of core components, and manufacturing scenario applications, building an industry closed loop driven by real-world data for model iteration. This will accelerate the transition of embodied intelligence technology from the laboratory to real-world scenarios, strengthening the industry foundation through chain collaboration.”

Dr. Zhang Yilin, CEO of Schaeffler China, said: “This strategic cooperation with Qianxun AI is another important step in Schaeffler’s continued investment in the embodied intelligence and humanoid robot industry ecosystem. Qianxun AI is an expert in embodied intelligence large models. By leveraging our respective core strengths, the two parties will deeply integrate industrial scenarios with cutting-edge intelligent technology, comprehensively breaking down barriers to technology deployment—from empowering with real-world data and optimizing model iteration to real-world scenario applications—jointly contributing to the development of the embodied intelligence industry.”
