Making a cool robot is a childhood dream for many people. In fact, human imaginations about robots go back a long way. As far back as Greek mythology, the ugly craftsman Hephaestus created four golden robots. But now, in this technology-driven era, robots don’t stay in elusive mythology or children’s fairytales. They are seen without much effort, without satisfaction as much as in the industrial ages.

Zhejiang Guozi Robotics Company, located in an industrial park surrounded by green mountains, is a stable producer of intelligent and movable robots and an expert researcher of techniques to make the machine man smarter. “Xiaohanzi” or “little man” in English, is a robot made to maintain good security. It can patrol 24 hours a day in extremely cold and hot outdoor environments, check for intruders and trouble-free facilities, and standardize parking. Whenever speaking of the “guard”, its product manager can’t help but feel proud.

Also, Hercules, a robot responsible for sifting through and picking up packages, works industriously without stopping. And its importance may go beyond finishing the repetitive job. It, to some extent, is a signal of the big company embarking upon a new path. They conjured up the parts man of unusual strength based on the deal from the office stationery megalith SPLS whose incredibly high SKU and large inventory houses caused many headaches and who scouted for service providers across the globe painstakingly. It was the big deal that later renewed their ambition to expand business in robotics.

Home to hundreds of robots able to go deep into the ocean and soar up in the sky, the company doesn’t stop a single moment to promote robotization in any scenarios unfriendly to human beings.  

Apart from the professional edge, a keen desire to delve into upgrading robots’ parts is another trump that should be possessed. Encountered with a high entry threshold and multiple market demands, for example, their “little man” has undergone several rounds of technological upgrading. Now, the human-like machine is able to keep city blocks, big inventory houses, and all commercial complexes safe. Its presence is easy to be seen in many cities across China and even Japan and Singapore.

As the company’s slogan says, the robot is an approach to unleash human labor, and also a key to the future. They believe with much steady accumulation of both techniques and experiences, they still have a big possibility to be the champion of robotics and shepherd of a more intelligent world. Sincerely hope more cutting-edge tech products are widely used to better every facet of urban life.
