Xiangrui Zeng, a renowned Chinese authority in AI-powered autonomous manufacturing and robotics innovation, is confirmed to speak at the prestigious Future AI Mobility Summit 2026 (FAMS 2026) in Seoul later this month, the organizing committee announced Monday.
Professor Zeng, from the School of Mechanical Science and Engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, is highly respected for his pioneering work in smart manufacturing, advanced autonomous systems, and cutting-edge robotics. Attendees can anticipate his insightful vision on embodied AI and the transformative potential of fully autonomous factories at the upcoming summit.
FAMS 2026, a landmark event jointly presented by The Korea Herald, the Korea Future Eco-friendly Mobility Service Association, and the Korea University Intellectual Property Association, is meticulously structured around its impactful theme: “Beyond the Evolution of Motion, Toward Sustainable Emotion for Humanity.”
Professor Zeng’s extensive experience includes spearheading projects that advance unmanned production lines for leading global smartphone and electric vehicle manufacturers. His groundbreaking contributions feature AI-powered machine vision systems designed to detect and instantaneously correct robotic assembly errors within state-of-the-art “dark factories”—these are fully automated facilities operating continuously without direct human intervention.
Furthermore, in the realm of logistics automation, Zeng has engineered sophisticated cooperative autonomous driving algorithms, utilizing game theory. These innovations empower fleets of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to optimize routes, significantly reduce congestion, and drastically improve operational efficiency across large-scale warehouse environments.
As a leading researcher at the forefront of converging generative AI with advanced humanoid robotics, Professor Zeng is poised to deliver critical insights into how embodied AI is set to fundamentally reshape future manufacturing systems and redefine industrial automation on a global scale.
The main forum for FAMS 2026 is scheduled for June 30 at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in central Seoul. The summit will also host a diverse array of engaging side events and invaluable business networking programs, all focused on exploring the future of mobility, manufacturing innovation, and sustainable technologies.
