CIIF highlight moment! Robot swarm makes an appearance — has the era of swarm intelligence arrived?

What happened: At the 26th China International Industry Fair, Zhongke Diwuji (中科第五纪) demonstrated three Jiling-L1 robots working in relay to complete a full material flow of depalletizing, pouring, receiving and palletizing with no human involvement. Why it matters: The company frames multi-robot coordination as a shift from single-machine intelligence to swarm intelligence, and says competition is moving from single-robot capability toward the value created by whole processes. It reports deployment with customers including Leapmotor, Sinopec and Midea.
