STORYLINE:

STANDUP 1 (English): SUNNY ZHOU, Xinhua correspondent
"Welcome to the special year-end edition of Sunny's Spotlight. 'Zhi,' or intelligence in English, and 'new quality productive forces' have topped the list of 2024 buzzwords in China, as released by multiple organizations.
These terms resonate with me because this year I've reported extensively from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), one of China's most open and economically dynamic areas.
From the reform and opening-up, to new quality productive forces, the success of the GBA's economic miracle has been a testament to how innovation prompts impetus to drive growth.
Today, I'm visiting a trailblazer in innovation in Guangzhou. They have developed a product fondly called the robotic 'Spider-Man.'"

"Can you guess what this robot is used for?"

SOUNDBITE 1 (English): SCOFIELD CHEN, X-Human Sales Manager
"This is Lingkong K3. It's a high-altitude curtain wall cleaning robot.
This robot is equipped with a highly efficient and stable adsorption system, with an adsorption force of over 1,500 newtons. It can endure the force of a level 12 typhoon without any problem. Moreover, the average daily cleaning area of a single robot can reach 1,200-2,000 square meters, which is three times the efficiency of manual cleaning. The built-in water circulation filtration system enables this machine to clean at any height without being restricted by the weight and length of the external water pipe. Some time ago, Lingkong K3 also won the Best of the Best Award of the Canton Fair Design Award.
Now let's see how the robot works.
First, the robot will climb up the safety rope and adsorb onto the glasses. You can try how strong the adsorption system is."

STANDUP 3 (English): SUNNY ZHOU, Xinhua correspondent
"Okay, so I just pull the safety rope? It's too hard, you know, the robot is firmly adsorbed onto the glass wall. So, what's next?"

SOUNDBITE 2 (English): SCOFIELD CHEN, X-Human Sales Manager
"Let's see how fast it is."

STANDUP 4 (English): SUNNY ZHOU, Xinhua correspondent
"We're now at the top of the building, where I learned that they have developed another promising smart product, targeting the booming new energy market."

SOUNDBITE 3 (English): SCOFIELD CHEN, X-Human Sales Manager
"In recent years, with the rapid growth of the global demand for clean energy, the market for solar panel cleaning has also witnessed explosive growth.
You can see, before cleaning, the panel is very dirty. Wow, a layer of dust.
This is our solar panel intelligent cleaning robot -- Lingguang G2. It has 'Owl' vision system and RGBD camera so that it can identify different sites by itself. With the help of SLAM (Simultaneous localization and mapping) and Al technology, it can find its best starting point and plan the fastest cleaning routes, realizing the fully automatic cleaning without any people."

The company is actively exploring international markets, supporting industry transformation with innovative and competitive products.

SOUNDBITE 4 (English): SCOFIELD CHEN, X-Human Sales Manager
"This is our factory. Since 2023, as part of our strategy to expand in intelligent manufacturing, we have successfully entered global markets like Singapore, Malaysia, the Middle East, Dubai, Bahrain, Australia, UK and so on. We have built an international trade team and established overseas markets. Moving forward, we will continue to expand international markets, achieve resource sharing, and accelerate our global footprint."
