Slamtec’s CTO Huang Jueshen: Unlocking the Future of Embodied Intelligence with the “Eye of Space”

As the digital transformation and wave of intelligence continue to converge, embodied intelligence is emerging as a key driving force for enterprise innovation and upgrading.

On November 7, the “Insight into the Future — How Embodied Intelligence Empowers Enterprise Digital Transformation” salon, hosted by the Pudong R&D Institutions Federation, was successfully held in Shanghai.

Experts from academia, industry, and research institutes gathered to discuss the latest trends and frontiers in embodied intelligence technology.

Spatial Perception: The “Eyes” and Decision-Making Core of Embodied Intelligence

Huang Jueshen, Co-founder and CTO of Slamtec, was invited to deliver a keynote speech titled “An Alternative Answer to Perception and Mobility in Embodied Intelligence.”

In his speech, Huang noted:

“Spatial perception is the ‘eye’ of embodied intelligence. Its precision and reliability determine the depth of an intelligent agent’s environmental understanding and the quality of its decision-making.”

He emphasized that in the era of embodied intelligence, a dedicated and reliable 3D spatial perception technology has become the essential foundation for achieving the “perception–decision–action” closed loop — and a cornerstone for enterprises pursuing intelligent transformation.

Huang also shared Slamtec’s extensive experience and achievements in this field:

Multiple breakthroughs in high-precision LiDAR, 3D visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), and multi-sensor fusion;

The self-developed Aurora series spatial perception systems, which deliver outstanding mapping and environmental understanding capabilities for applications such as service robots, industrial automation, and autonomous driving.

Through the integration of AI-VSLAM algorithms and stereo depth estimation, Slamtec’s Aurora Spatial Perception System has achieved a leap from “geometric modeling” to “semantic understanding.”

By combining hardware-software collaboration with algorithmic innovation, the company has built a high-robustness, high-real-time spatial perception framework — providing an “alternative yet precise answer” for embodied intelligence.

With strong technical accumulation and extensive industry experience, Slamtec continues to lead innovation in perception and navigation technologies, driving embodied intelligence toward broader real-world applications and reaffirming its leading position in spatial perception and positioning navigation.

Professor Pei Ling: Bio-Inspired Insights into Embodied Navigation

Professor Pei Ling, Chief Expert of the Slamtec Expert Workstation, Director of the Teaching Development and Student Innovation Center at the School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Executive Vice Dean of the Shanghai BeiDou Navigation Innovation Research Institute, also delivered an inspiring keynote titled “Bio-Inspired Embodied Navigation.”

Professor Pei analyzed the latest research progress in embodied navigation and demonstrated, through vivid videos and animations, the cutting-edge results in bio-inspired environmental perception and brain-like cognitive technologies. He pointed out:

“Embodied navigation, as a core capability for general-purpose robotics, is drawing inspiration from the structure and function of organisms in nature. It is now deeply integrated with Large Language Models (LLMs), opening a new paradigm of intelligent navigation.”

At the same time, he acknowledged the challenges that remain — including world-model construction, design of high-DOF embodied navigation hardware, and refinement of dynamic models.

His talk not only revealed the vast potential of embodied navigation but also offered clear direction for future research, greatly expanding the audience’s perspectives on intelligent navigation technologies.

Industry-Academia Collaboration: Building the Foundation for an Intelligent World

The successful event highlighted the industry’s forward-looking insights and deep reflections on embodied intelligence.

From Slamtec’s “spatial perception” to the academia’s “bio-inspired navigation,” the integration of industry and research is injecting continuous innovation into the future of embodied intelligence.

It is worth noting that Professor Pei Ling also serves as a guiding expert at the Slamtec Expert Workstation, maintaining long-term collaboration with Slamtec in areas such as embodied perception, navigation algorithms, and spatial intelligence architecture.

Leveraging Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s scientific research strengths and Slamtec’s industrialization capabilities, both sides are jointly advancing the engineering application of frontier research outcomes, exploring new paths for the real-world deployment of embodied intelligence.

Moving forward, Slamtec will continue to drive innovation through technology, collaborating with industry partners to promote the large-scale adoption of embodied intelligence across industrial, commercial, and service sectors — helping enterprises enhance efficiency and achieve value transformation in the intelligent era.
