In November, as a dynamic response to The State Council of the People's Republic of China's call for an "AI Plus" initiative, Shenzhen is translating policy into groundbreaking reality. The upcoming 2025 Shenzhen International AI Sanitation Robot & Application Innovation Competition will feature a special "OpenHarmony Formation." Leading enterprises like SAITE intelligence, COWA robot, XiNiu, JiMuXingYuan, JingLv Environment, and NiuEnChi will deploy their AI-powered sanitation robots in this coordinated display, presenting a new vision for urban cleanliness.
1. A Tech Showcase: The OpenHarmony Formation
The "AI Plus" initiative emphasizes technological integration and real-world application. Today's AI sanitation robots are no longer isolated units. As a pioneer in reform and innovation, Longgang District has ambitiously set its sights on becoming China's first "HarmonyOS District," achieving a key breakthrough in public sanitation.
Leveraging district-wide 5G private networks and IoT infrastructure, Longgang has deeply implemented the open-source, Harmony-compatible M-Robots OS. Its ultra-low latency significantly reduces multi-device coordination costs and grants these robots unprecedented intelligence.
For instance, these robots seamlessly interact with smart trash bins, forming a precise "intelligent network." They can pinpoint litter by linking with smart cameras for targeted cleaning and receive real-time alerts from bins for immediate overflow response.
This "OpenHarmony Formation" achieves seamless cross-brand, cross-device coordination via a "Super Device Management Platform." During the competition, the robots will perform a series of demonstrations for the public, including formation entries, horn and light shows, and watering displays.
2. Setting Standards for Industry Growth
The event is not just a competition; it's a platform for shaping industry standards and releasing cutting-edge technologies, featuring several landmark achievements.
The China Urban Environmental Sanitation Association will present the Technical Requirements for AI Cleaning Robots (Draft for Comments). This first-of-its-kind national standard fills a critical gap, providing unified specifications for the entire product lifecycle—from design and manufacturing to testing and final acceptance—guiding the industry towards high-quality development.
Concurrently, Longgang District will unveil China's first standardized operational model for non-standard scenarios. Pioneered in Henggang Subdistrict, this model uses a "five-in-one" integrated land-air perception network. It combines patrol drones, various work vehicles, AI sanitation robots, and fixed cameras to comprehensively gather visual data. Powered by an AI urban management model, the system can standardize the identification of 50 types of urban incidents across 5 major categories. By transforming complex, variable scenarios into replicable standard procedures, this "Standardized Operation Model for Non-Standard Scenarios" aims to revolutionize traditional methods and significantly boost the adaptability and efficiency of sanitation workers.
3. Connecting Industries, Fostering Collaboration
The competition features real-world tests in three scenarios: park squares, pedestrian/cycle paths, and service roads. This allows government and enterprise observers to evaluate technologies firsthand. Attendees include sanitation departments, urban service companies, and investors from across China. The organizers will facilitate on-site matchmaking, helping participants access procurement needs and convert leads into orders. The event also connects with Belt and Road resources, top investors, industrial funds, and banks, building a bridge for collaboration and market expansion.
As a key segment of China Media Group's "Embracing the Future – Helper Robot Summit," focusing on "Community Management," highlights like the OpenHarmony robot showcase and competition rounds will be livestreamed on the CCTV News app, bringing the "AI + Sanitation" innovations directly to the public.
Through this open platform, Shenzhen is driving the intelligent transformation of public sanitation, injecting smarter, more efficient solutions into urban management and helping build a greener, more sustainable future.
