At the World Robot Conference, Zoucheng-based ROKAE drew widespread attention with a live demonstration of its high-precision robotic arms. Committed to in-house, full-stack R&D, the company has achieved major breakthroughs in core technologies such as force-controlled joints and robot control systems, growing into a Hong Kong-listed provider of a comprehensive portfolio of intelligent robots.

By simultaneously attracting investment projects and top talent, Zoucheng successfully brought in the team led by Tuo Hua—a recognized Taishan Industry Leading Talent—and established ROKAE's robotics production base. The local government has rolled out a dedicated robot industry development plan and established the Shandong Institute of Intelligent Robot & Applied Technology. By pooling innovative resources through talent hubs and university-industry partnerships, the city is helping companies like Tianhe Technology tackle key mining robotics technologies and accelerating the transformation of traditional equipment manufacturers.

Using talent clustering to drive industrial growth, Zoucheng has fostered a development model driven by talent, anchored by industry, and empowered by a thriving ecosystem. Today, the city's annual industrial robot production capacity has surpassed 32,000 units after doubling for three consecutive years, establishing it as the largest industrial robotics manufacturing base in the province.
