What sparks will emerge when the weighted history of ancient Rome meets China's cutting-edge embodied AI?
当古罗马的厚重历史遇上中国前沿的具身智能，会碰撞出怎样的火花？
On the afternoon of October 21, 2026, the Hengyuan Zhiqi • Shandong Embodied AI Industrial Base welcomed a distinguished delegation from Civitavecchia, Italy, led by Mayor Marco Piendibene. Accompanied by officials from the Office of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the CPC Jinan Municipal Committee and the People's Government of Tianqiao District, as well as executives of Hengyuan Zhiqi and Jinan Tianqiao Embodied AI Innovation Co., Ltd., the delegation explored this futuristic digital intelligence center, experiencing firsthand the vibrant driving force behind Tianqiao's intelligent manufacturing.
2026年10月21日下午，恒元智启·山东具身智能产业基地迎来了一批远道而来的贵客——由市长马可·皮恩迪贝内率领的意大利奇维塔韦基亚市代表团。在济南市委外办、天桥区政府相关领导以及恒元智启负责人、济南天桥具身智能创新有限公司负责人的陪同下，代表团深入探访了这座充满未来感的数智中心，亲身感受天桥智造的澎湃动能。
Upon stepping into the exhibition hall, the delegation was immediately captivated by its tech-forward spatial design and an array of agile robots. Guided by on-site staff, the guests toured the Embodied AI Robot Digital Intelligence Center and learned in detail about the base's latest advances in artificial intelligence, core robot components, and scenario-based applications.
一踏入基地展厅，充满科技感的空间设计与灵动的各类机器人瞬间吸引了代表团的目光。在工作人员的引导下，外宾们参观了具身智能机器人数智中心，详细了解了基地在人工智能、机器人核心零部件及场景应用等方面的最新成果。
The highlight of the visit was undoubtedly an"in-depth exchange" that transcended language barriers and the divide between human and machine. In the interactive experience zone, Mayor Marco Piendibene was fascinated by the strikingly designed, highly futuristic humanoid robot AgiBot Expedition A2. To everyone's delight, the mayor struck up a conversation with Expedition A2 directly in his native Italian. The robot answered the mayor's questions without missing a beat—and in fluent Italian. The two had an extended, fluid conversation on topics ranging from local history to cultural development. Expedition A2's formidable multilingual comprehension, natural language processing, and human-like interaction logic prompted repeated nods and thumbs-up gestures from the mayor. This warm"transoceanic dialogue" infused cold machinery with human warmth capable of connecting civilizations.
本次参观的最大亮点，莫过于一场跨越语言与物种的“深度交流”。在互动体验区，奇维塔韦基亚市市长马可·皮恩迪贝内被外形炫酷、极具科技感的人形机器人“远征A2”深深吸引。令人惊喜的是，市长直接用母语意大利语与“远征A2”展开了对话。面对市长的提问，“远征A2”不仅毫无卡顿，还能用流利的意大利语进行对答。两人围绕当地的历史沿革、文化发展等话题进行了长时间的流畅交流。“远征A2”展现出的超强多语种理解能力、自然语言处理水平以及拟人化的交互逻辑，让市长频频点头，连连竖起大拇指。这场充满温度的“跨洋对话”，让冷冰冰的钢铁之躯有了连接世界文明的温度。
Beyond the in-depth conversation with Expedition A2, the itinerary was filled with further surprises. In the demonstration area, AgiBot Lingxi X2 nimbly executed a wide range of highly difficult motions. In the calligraphy experience zone, Expedition A2 held the brush steady and brushed ink onto red paper, showcasing to the Italian guests the seamless fusion of traditional Chinese culture and modern technology. Elsewhere in the hall, Qiyuan Q1 greeted the guests warmly. The foreign guests raised their phones to capture these wondrous moments, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
除了与“远征A2”的深度畅聊，代表团的行程中还充满了诸多惊喜。在演示区，灵犀X2灵活地完成各种高难度动作；在书法体验区，远征A2稳稳握住毛笔，在红纸上挥毫泼墨，向意大利友人展示了中国传统文化与现代科技的完美融合；而在展厅的另一侧，启元Q1也正热情地向嘉宾们打招呼。外宾们纷纷举起手机，记录下这些奇妙的瞬间，现场气氛热烈而欢快。
This visit was more than a showcase of technological prowess; it was a cultural exchange spanning mountains and seas. As a regional hub of the embodied AI sector, the Hengyuan Zhiqi • Shandong Embodied AI Industrial Base presented to its international guests a full view of China's technological strengths and broad application prospects in artificial intelligence. Looking ahead, the base will continue to deepen its presence in the embodied AI track, broaden its international perspective, and embrace the world with a more open mindset—turning intelligent robots into envoys of technology that foster friendship between China and the world and help create a better life.
