Weston Robot Chief Scientist Dr. Zhang was honoured to be invited by the National Robotics Programme (NRP) to speak at the 2026 Singapore Robotics Supply Chain Workshop. The session examined how China’s advanced robotics supply chain infrastructure can support and accelerate the development of Singapore’s robotics ecosystem. The workshop gathered researchers, startup founders, manufacturers, investors, and ecosystem stakeholders to explore practical pathways from laboratory innovation to large-scale deployment.

During his presentation, Dr. Zhang shared Weston Robot’s direct experience in navigating China’s mature robotics supply chain — covering precision mechanical components, actuators, sensors, controllers, and contract manufacturing. He explained how Singapore-based robotics companies can strategically leverage China’s manufacturing depth, rapid prototyping capabilities, and cost-efficient scaling to reduce development cycles and enhance international competitiveness. The discussion emphasised combining Singapore’s strengths in embodied AI, robotics algorithms, and system integration with regional supply chain advantages.

The session generated meaningful dialogue on cross-border collaboration, quality assurance, supply chain resilience, and long-term ecosystem development. As a Singapore-headquartered robotics company deeply involved in both research and industrial deployment, Weston Robot remains committed to bridging advanced robotics innovation with reliable and scalable manufacturing pathways. We look forward to continued collaboration with NRP and ecosystem partners to strengthen Singapore’s role as a global hub for robotics innovation and commercialisation.
