Gasgoo Munich- Nearly 100 industrial inspection robots developed independently by CX Robot Connect (Wuhan) Technology were delivered this week to the Hubei Humanoid Robot Innovation Center.
The first batch saw 30 units of the company’s Xun 1 series quadruped robots handed over. Priced at over 100,000 yuan, these robots are designed to intelligently detect environmental hazards—including gas leaks, temperature shifts, humidity levels, and personnel falls. In one hydrogen energy plant, the Xun 1 is being deployed to monitor fire sources and gas emissions.

Meanwhile, CX Robot Connect also unveiled the Xun 3, a robot tailored specifically for industrial environments.
According to Xia Ke, co-founder of Chengxin Zhilian, the Xun 3 marks a significant upgrade over the Xun 1 in battery life, climbing ability, and autonomous inspection. Equipped with a 32-line LiDAR, it can traverse 25 steps and crawl steadily up 35-degree slopes. Its endurance has quadrupled from one hour to four, allowing it to cover roughly 20 kilometers continuously. Beyond handling complex inspections, the robot can perform risk control measures—such as pressing buttons—upon detecting hazards.
Founded in 2022, CX Robot Connect has developed a high-precision inertial navigation module that enables smart vehicles and robots to operate without satellite signals. This technology allows for precise positioning and autonomous navigation in signal dead zones, such as underground pipe corridors and plateaus up to 4,700 meters above sea level.
The company has established China’s largest production line for MEMS IMUs (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System Inertial Measurement Units), boasting an annual capacity of 2.6 million units. Its inertial navigation modules have already entered the supply chains of major automakers like Geely and SAIC. On the robotics front, CX Robot Connect has developed a range of products including inspection drones, ground robots, and industrial inspection units. With a monthly capacity exceeding 100 robots, its order book is already filled through the fourth quarter of this year.
