Fuzhou, in East China's Fujian province, is expanding its robotics industry into agriculture, healthcare, and public services through high-tech integration and international expansion, marked by the first overseas deployment of its poultry-monitoring systems and the formation of a major provincial industry alliance.

This transition reflects a shift from traditional industrial manufacturing toward specialized AI applications. A key milestone is "Mujilang 6", an autonomous poultry-monitoring robot that uses multimodal vision and voiceprint analysis to identify dead poultry with 99 percent accuracy. Following its domestic adoption by over 100 enterprises, the system debuted in Malaysia in February 2025 and has since entered the Japanese market, with further expansion planned in Europe and the United States.

Technological integration is also advancing in medical rehabilitation. Fuzhou Renji Intelligent Technology has introduced the world's first brain-computer interface (BCI) to control a lower-limb exoskeleton, enabling neural-mechanical synergy for hemiplegic patients to rebuild motor connections.

To bolster the local robotics sector, the Fujian Intelligent Robotics Industry Alliance launched in Fuzhou in late September 2025, uniting over 60 entities to focus on technical standards and resource pooling. Under the city's 2024-2026 AI industry action plan, local authorities are now prioritizing humanoid robots integrated with AI models and promoting service leasing frameworks to drive large-scale applications across the petrochemical, power, and municipal sectors.
