iSAGE Unveils Revolutionary “SageMan” Embodied Robots at Global Forum in Shanghai

    Held at the Platinum Hanjue Hotel, the event was mainly hosted by iSAGE (Shanghai SAGE Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.) and co-hosted by Shanghai INESA Zero Bay Investment Group, with strong backing from the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization, Minhang District Science and Technology Commission, and other local government and industrial organizations.

    Themed “Embodied Power, Smarter Future”, the event convened thought leaders from academia, research institutions, global enterprises, and the robotics value chain to explore the convergence of embodied AI and smart manufacturing.

World’s First Four-Armed Embodied Robot: SageMan Series

    The spotlight moments of the event was the global launch of iSAGE’s SageMan Series—the FIRST-EVER Four-armed Embodied Humanoid robot, alongside the latest Third-generation Dual-armed variant. These breakthroughs mark a leap from single-arm automation to full-bodied robotic collaboration.

    Key innovations include:

1. 360° Operational Coverage: Unique symmetrical topology allows full spatial interaction, ideal for complex industrial tasks.

2. Cognitive Core - SageBrain: Integrates a proprietary SageOS and dual-model AI system, combining large language models (LLMs) with vertical domain models (VLA) to improve adaptability to 200%.

3. Full Mobility & Dexterity: 52 degrees of freedom, including articulated hips, knees, and ankles, enabling full-body actions such as climbing, crouching, and balancing in unstructured environments.

4. High-Precision Operation: Laser-guided navigation (≤5mm deviation) and force-controlled cooperative manipulation support complex assembly tasks.

    These capabilities position SageMan not just as an operator but as an intelligent collaborator—opening new doors in manufacturing, logistics, aerospace, and beyond.

Building the Future: iSAGE Embodied Ecosystem Alliance Launched

    In a landmark event held during the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, iSAGE (Shanghai SAGE Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.) officially announced the formation of the Embodied Intelligence Robotics Ecosystem Alliance. The launch ceremony was honored by the presence of distinguished local government officials from the Minhang District Science and Technology Committee and Economic Commission, as well as senior representatives from some of the world’s leading technology companies, academia, and industry associations.

    The alliance brings together an impressive coalition of founding members, spanning multiple sectors and expertise: renowned global technology leaders; leading academic institutions; innovators along the robotics value chain; as well as influential industry associations.

    This broad and diverse partnership embodies a shared vision to drive open, collaborative innovation in embodied intelligence and smart robotics. The alliance aims to accelerate the adoption and application of embodied intelligence technologies, fostering synergy across sectors to build a robust and interoperable ecosystem. Together, the members will develop shared infrastructure, best practices, and promote industrial standards, unlocking new possibilities for AI-powered robotics to revolutionize manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and more.

    By combining the strengths of industry giants, academic research, and cutting-edge startups, the iSAGE Embodied Intelligence Robotics Ecosystem Alliance marks a decisive step toward shaping the future of intelligent manufacturing and embodied robotics—paving the way for flexible, efficient, and intelligent industrial transformation on a global scale.
