In the vast world where semiconductors and artificial intelligence converge, the return of a technology giant is quietly setting off a technological revolution. Hu Luhui, the former chief technology officer (CTO) of Huawei's United States Research Institute, holds more than 30 United States patents, and his career has spanned global technology giants such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta, and now he has turned into the founder and CEO of Zhicheng AI. With a deep insight into the future of artificial intelligence, he is leading a storm of innovation aimed at giving robots a deep understanding of the physical world.
Hu Luhui's return is not accidental, but based on his accurate grasp of the development trend of artificial intelligence. With the rapid development of semiconductor technology, artificial intelligence (AI), as an important field of semiconductor applications, is gradually moving from a specialized field to a general field. Hu Luhui's goal is to take the lead in this transformation, so that robots will have the ability to directly perceive and understand the physical world within 3 to 5 years, so as to achieve more natural and smooth interaction with humans.
The establishment of Zhicheng AI is the product of Hu Luhui's deep insight into the AI 2.0 era. In this era, the development potential of artificial intelligence will be unleashed like never before, and Zhicheng AI is at the forefront of this wave. The company's General Artificial Intelligence Robot Learning Framework (GRLF) is a concentrated reflection of its technical strength. Through advanced technologies such as deep learning, computer vision, and sensor fusion, the framework enables the robotic arm to have visual perception and fine operation capabilities, and can perform complex imitation learning tasks. This breakthrough marks a solid step forward on the road to artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Taking specific data as an example, Zhicheng AI's robotic arm has successfully completed thousands of fine operation tasks in the laboratory environment, and its accuracy and efficiency have reached the industry-leading level. In an experiment, the robotic arm successfully identified and grabbed a tiny part under complex lighting conditions, which not only demonstrated its strong visual perception ability, but also verified the effectiveness and practicability of the GRLF framework.
Hu Luhui's initiative is not only a breakthrough in existing technologies, but also an important exploration of the future development direction of artificial intelligence. He understands that for robots to truly integrate into human society, they must be given the ability to understand, reason, generate, and interact with the three-dimensional world. This spatial intelligence will enable robots to show unprecedented adaptability and flexibility in a variety of complex environments, thus pushing robotics from a specialized field to a general field.
The technology research and development of Zhicheng AI has received strong support from the investment community and government departments. The company successfully raised tens of millions of dollars in financing at the beginning of its establishment, and subsequently attracted additional investment from a number of well-known investment institutions. These funds not only provide a strong guarantee for the company's technology research and development, but also further strengthen the market's confidence in Zhicheng's AI technology and vision.
In Hu Luhui's view, although the existing multimodal large models perform well in specific fields, there are still limitations in understanding the physical world. He firmly believes that only by allowing artificial intelligence to truly understand the physical world can true general artificial intelligence be realized. This philosophy echoes that of Feifei Li, a leading figure in the field of AI, whose spatial intelligence companies are committed to building large-scale world models that can perceive, generate, and interact with 3D worlds.
In order to achieve this goal, Hu Luhui and his team are constantly breaking through technical bottlenecks, accelerating product iterations, and actively seeking cooperation opportunities with different enterprises. They know that only by applying the technology to real-world scenarios can they truly verify its value and feasibility. Therefore, Zhicheng AI is cooperating with a number of automobile manufacturers, medical device manufacturers, and logistics service providers to jointly explore the application prospects of artificial intelligence in various fields.
Hu Luhui predicts that it may take another three to five years for artificial general intelligence to be realized. But once realized, it will bring a disruptive change to the field of robotics, and it will be the "iPhone moment" of robotics. At that time, robots will no longer be limited to the humanoid form we are familiar with, but will penetrate into all aspects of our lives and become an indispensable partner in our life, work and study.
Zhicheng AI's technology and vision are becoming an important force to promote this change. Hu Luhui and his team are working to get robots out of the "cave" and directly contact the real physical world, so as to achieve real intelligent interaction. It's a challenging path, but it's also a necessary path to the intelligent world of the future. With the continuous progress and application of Zhicheng AI technology, we have reason to believe that Hu Luhui's vision will become a reality in the near future.
In the future, we look forward to Zhicheng AI continuing to lead the development trend of artificial intelligence technology and bring more surprises and changes to human society. At the same time, we also look forward to more scientific and technological elites to join this great wave of innovation and jointly promote the continuous development and progress of artificial intelligence technology.
