Autonomous driving and embodied intelligence share core technological components such as environmental perception, multimodal decision-making algorithms, and perception hardware. These synergies allow for significant cost reductions in cross-domain R&D. Meanwhile, automotive companies are increasingly entering the humanoid robotics sector, benefiting from industrial and ecosystem synergies.

As a leading provider of mass-produced autonomous driving solutions in China, iMotion has developed strong expertise in autonomous driving algorithms, software-hardware integration, and engineering capabilities. This foundation positions iMotion Robot for success in the robotics industry. Through its new subsidiary, iMotion aims to broaden its business scope, deepen its technological capabilities, and foster cross-sector innovation, preparing for future competition in the "AI+" era.
