ASUS co-CEO Hu Shubin emphasized that intelligent robots face complexity in both consumer and commercial applications, and the success of the "last mile" depends on real-world field validation. ASUS is actively cultivating various intelligent robot applications and will remain involved in the industry. Speaking as chairman of the Taiwan Smart City Industry Alliance, Hu highlighted Taiwan's strong industrial ecosystem, which includes ICT and precision machinery sectors, as a key competitive advantage in intelligent robot development.
Hu introduced the Intelligent Robot Applications SIG (Special Interest Group) as a platform to integrate resources from government, industry, academia, and research in Taiwan, aiming to build a comprehensive ecosystem supporting intelligent robot advancement. The Tainan City Government will provide demonstration fields across multiple urban domains for testing applications, while the Industrial Technology Research Institute’s Intelligent Robot Application Center will support verification and testing before product deployment.
Hu also reviewed ASUS's early entry into robotics with Zenbo in 2015, noting initial challenges due to immature AI voice recognition and lack of testing environments. Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have significantly improved robot semantic recognition and reasoning, expanding application possibilities. He cited NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s prediction of an era of embodied AI where intelligent robots integrate into everyday human environments.
Hu pointed out that practical verification across diverse fields such as healthcare, retail, logistics, and disaster relief is essential for developing market-ready intelligent robots. The Taiwan Smart City Industry Alliance will leverage the Intelligent Robot Applications SIG to foster innovation, promote standards, and position intelligent robots as a key driver of smart city development and a future global industry for Taiwan. Over 50 manufacturers, including ASUS and Mengli, have joined the SIG.
