Indonesia is not only the largest economy in ASEAN, but also one of the most dynamic strategic markets for the global tangible AI industry, said Deng Feng, president of AGIBOT for the Middle East and Asia-Pacific region.
He explained that his company plans to introduce its Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model in Indonesia while promoting localized solutions and expanding its application across various sectors.
In recent years, Indonesia has advanced its "Making Indonesia 4.0" strategy, identifying artificial intelligence as a priority area for development.
At the conference, several humanoid robots demonstrated capabilities including autonomous mobility, human-machine interaction, and task execution.
AGIBOT said its products are built on an integrated architecture that combines motion intelligence, interactive intelligence, and operational intelligence, with applications spanning industrial manufacturing, commercial services, scientific research, and education.
