At DEEP Robotics, the “AI for All“ vision is materializing through four-legged machines. Under its “AI+“ initiative, the Hangzhou-based company combines software training systems with massive datasets to enable autonomous learning in quadruped robots.

　　Enhanced by proprietary algorithms, these robots can now navigate complex environments, adapt to unstructured terrain, and support rescue teams by swiftly entering disaster zones and relaying real-time data for decision-making.

　　“AI-powered robots can help humans work more safely and efficiently in diverse scenarios -- from power facility inspections to emergency response,“ said Meng Yuan, a media manager at DEEP Robotics. “They're built to take on repetitive and high-risk tasks, and may one day assist with everyday needs in the home.“

　　The company's global footprint now covers Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, the Middle East, Europe and North America -- with international demand rising. “In Singapore, a local power company is using our robotic dogs to inspect underground utility tunnels, reducing labor costs and boosting urban efficiency,“ said Meng.

　　Meanwhile, in Zhejiang's textile industrial heartland, Hangzhou Hangmin Damei Dyeing and Finishing Co., Ltd., a fabric supplier to global fashion brands including Zara, is grappling with rising green trade barriers.

　　Confronted with a maze of carbon policies and mounting compliance costs tied to carbon tariffs and clean energy transition, the company has joined a new alliance that turns compliance into a competitive advantage.

　　The “Green Energy To“ initiative, led by the Xiaoshan Power Supply Company under the State Grid Corporation of China, in partnership with government agencies, financial institutions and exporters, offers a three-pronged solution -- policy guidance, carbon-reduction services, and tailored financial support.
