Tag along with Jason at CISCE: "I have a meeting with robots!"

BEIJING, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This is a report from China.org.cn.

Apple CEO Tim Cook was recently in China, where he made a special visit to the second China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) in Beijing. Apple and its partners are represented in the Digital Technology section. An American boy, Jason, visits the Expo and expresses his excitement about discovering the supply chain behind technological innovations like Apple's.

He first visits Apple's booth, where he learns that more than 80% of Apple's suppliers are based in China. He observes an intelligent assembly inspection system developed by LY iTECH, which uses robotic arms to assemble products in mid-air, creating a visual spectacle.

Moving on to the Lenovo booth, Jason meets a humanoid robot named CASBOT, which can engage in voice interactions and perform simple household tasks. CASBOT demonstrates its capabilities by hanging up Jason's hoodie and offering him a drink. Amazed by CASBOT's capabilities, Jason is shown a video of Lenovo's actual factory, where robots are already working on the production line. He interacts with a bipedal robot named Tita and is impressed by its ability to navigate obstacles and perform various movements.

Jason learns from the Lenovo staff that their focus is on building a supply chain ecosystem by exploring high-growth, high-potential industrial opportunities. They provide companies with technical support and capital investment to enhance their smart manufacturing capabilities.

At the BrainCo booth, Jason explores intelligent, dexterous bionic hands that can mimic the wearer's intended movements. He witnesses a man writing calligraphy with these robotic hands and is amazed at their capabilities. Jason interviews the man, Ni, who lost both arms at a young age. Ni shares his experience of controlling the bionic hands and how they have helped him regain the ability to perform various tasks. Jason is deeply moved.

Finally, Jason concludes the visit by emphasizing that the experiences he has shared are just a small part of the section and that there are many exciting gadgets and technologies to explore at CISCE. He used a rehab robot for training and looks forward to attending the next Supply Chain Expo.
