During the 2024 China Seed Congress held in Fengtai District Park from October 16th to 18th, representatives from the Fengtai District Government and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs visited our exhibition area in the No.6 Intelligent Greenhouse. They observed our spraying robot in action and highly affirmed our innovative achievements in agricultural intelligence, commending the application prospects of our technology in smart agriculture.

On October 16-17, 2024, the “Smart Technology and Equipment Empowering High-Quality Development of the Vegetable Industry” seminar was successfully held in Beijing, under the guidance of the Beijing Association for Science and Technology and hosted by the Beijing Agricultural Association, Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences, and Beijing Vegetable Association.

Dr. Ya Xiong was invited to participate in the event, where he delivered a report titled “Vegetable Harvesting Robots and Their Key Technologies.” A group of experts and scholars from the vegetable industry across China attended the conference to discuss cutting-edge innovations in smart technologies and equipment, seeking new paths for technology to promote high-quality agricultural development.

On September 10, 2024, Minister Han Jun and a delegation from the Ministry of Agriculture visited Nercita to examine the latest innovations in agricultural robotics. During the visit, the S-H Robotics team had the honor of demoing HarvestFlex, our newly developed strawberry-picking robot, to the visiting leadership.

We are excited to announce that our lab is showcasing three of our latest robotic innovations — the mobile platform ‘Field Rover,’ the robotic arm ‘LingXtend,’ and the spraying robot — at the 2024 World Robotics Conference. These agricultural robots have garnered significant attention from visitors across the globe, demonstrating the technology and forward-thinking design that our lab is proud to develop.

On August 22, 2024, Dr. Shirin Ghatrehsamani, Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering at Pennsylvania State University, visited Nercita. The visit was organized by Dr. Ya Xiong and included participation from Dr. Sen Lin, Dr. Ran Liu, Dr. Yueting Wang, along with more than 30 staff members and students from the center.
