On July 11, the 2026 "Robot+" Innovation and Development Conference & "Robot+" Application Scenario Exhibition grandly opened in Jining. Centered on the theme "Us: Humans and Robots", the exhibition gathered 165 outstanding domestic enterprises engaged in the robotics sector, displaying innovative intelligent robot achievements covering ten major application scenarios including intelligent manufacturing, industrial operations, agricultural applications and emergency rescue. Li Zhenbo, General Manager of the Information Department of China Coal Group and General Manager of Zhongyun Group; Xu Zhihan, Deputy General Manager of the Group and Director of the Tendering & Procurement Center; Su Yan, Deputy General Manager of the Group Information Department; Cao Sen, General Manager of the Second Construction Machinery Team; Hu Ruian, Manager of Shandong Carter Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. under the Group, together with other executives, attended the exhibition with a full range of intelligent equipment. The Group presented integrated intelligent solutions for mine engineering, agriculture and forestry production, emergency security and outdoor operation & maintenance, emerging as a key exhibitor that drew extensive attention from government and enterprise clients as well as industry experts.
Shandong China Coal Group built a three-dimensional exhibition zone integrating "ground operations + low-altitude operations + special inspection" at its booth. Six self-developed intelligent robots delivered live dynamic demonstrations simultaneously, including remote-controlled excavators, transport UAVs, plant protection UAVs, quadruped robot dogs, tracked fire-fighting robots and intelligent remote-controlled lawn mowers. The live displays intuitively demonstrated the robust capacity of domestic intelligent equipment to replace high-risk manual labor and empower diverse industries. Meanwhile, the Group’s technical team conducted on-site operation demonstrations and solution briefings, customizing one-stop supporting robot application schemes tailored to the differentiated demands of mining enterprises, agriculture and forestry cooperatives, emergency management authorities and municipal operation & maintenance institutions.
During the exhibition, Li Zhenbo, General Manager of the Information Department of Shandong China Coal Group, was invited for an interview with Jining TV. He interpreted the Group’s industrial layout and innovative achievements in the robotics industry to local media and the public, and elaborated on the core strengths and application value of all intelligent robot products displayed this time. He stated that as a highland for intelligent manufacturing industry, Jining provides a sound industrial ecosystem and policy support for local enterprises to innovate and develop the robotics industry. Leveraging regional industrial advantages, Shandong China Coal Group has continuously advanced the intelligent and digital upgrading of special robots, and promoted in-depth integration between traditional equipment manufacturing and artificial intelligence, 5G and the Internet of Things. Going forward, the enterprise will keep increasing R&D investment, focus on fostering new quality productive forces, iteratively upgrade intelligent robot products and complete sets of solutions, facilitate the digital transformation of mine safety, smart agriculture, emergency rescue, urban operation and other sectors, boost high-quality development of the regional intelligent manufacturing industry, and build a benchmark local special robotics enterprise.
As an outstanding local enterprise with long-term engagement in intelligent mines and special robots, Shandong China Coal Group consistently adheres to the development path of "integrating robots with industries". Drawing on independent R&D strengths, the Group has formed a complete R&D and manufacturing chain of intelligent equipment spanning ground engineering, low-altitude logistics, emergency rescue and smart agriculture & forestry, advancing robot technology from single equipment to full-scenario integrated solutions.
