Intelligent robot dogs powered by an AI brain developed by Lion Rock Laboratory address the core pain points of the elderly, such as mobility issues and lack of assistance and companionship, offering key functions like intelligent following and home patrol to meet their daily needs. The developed companionship-oriented digital beings, endowed with independent thinking, emotions and consciousness, can engage in in-depth conversations and multi-person discussions with users, provide emotional support, and offer wise suggestions.

The new surgical robot laboratory jointly established by the China Merchants Research Institute of Advanced Technology and The Chinese University of Hong Kong has successfully developed multiple robots for surgical treatment of major diseases. For example, the new magnetic microguidewire robot can turn directly under the control of an external magnetic field, easily and efficiently reaching deep cerebrovascular networks, thus solving the problem that conventional microguidewires struggle to access tortuous and complex cerebrovascular networks. There are also two new types of magnetic embolization coils – one with shape-memory deformation and the other with expandable deformation – both of which can achieve position locking via an external magnetic field. This enables more reliable embolization of complex cerebral aneurysms and avoids the risks of tube kickback and dislodgement that occur when conventional metal coils are released in blood vessels.

The CMIT-built Wuhan Green Conversion of Carbon Dioxide and Bio-Manufacturing Process Validation Center is positioned to serve the main battlefield of the national economy and major strategic needs. It employs CO₂-electrocatalysis-based low-carbon compound carbon sources, aiming to reduce carbon emissions, lessen reliance on food-sourced carbon sources, and ensure national food security. In the field of gene editing, it adopts a growth-coupled strategy, which significantly enhances cell conversion efficiency and yield, and has successfully established a range of product lines covering agricultural bacterial agents, fragrances and flavors, big health products, and isoprene bulk chemicals.

CMIT has consistently aligned with China Merchants Group's strategic layout and approach for technological innovation amid its "Third Entrepreneurship" initiative. It is speeding up the development of the Sci-tech Innoation Industry Sector, vigorously advancing technological innovation, and forging an efficient "industry-university-research-application" collaborative innovation model—all while accelerating breakthroughs in a range of major industrial cutting-edge technologies, disruptive technologies, and key core technologies.
