Embodied intelligence has become a global focus in AI. Sugon Storage and Zhiyuan Robotics are working together, using intelligent-storage products that accelerate AI to help multimodal large models and AI agents keep evolving and to hit the accelerator on embodied intelligence.

As a star company in embodied intelligence, Zhiyuan Robotics released the Expedition A1 robot with 200 TOPS of compute in 2023, stunning the industry by building a humanoid robot in half a year. It recently launched two families at once—Expedition and Lingxi—five new commercial humanoid robots in total, and has started commercial mass production in interactive services, flexible intelligent manufacturing, special operations, research and education, and data collection.

Behind Zhiyuan Robotics’ rapid iteration, besides compute and algorithm platforms, is Sugon Storage’s intelligent-storage product—ParaStor distributed all-flash storage—matching data storage and management closely to the compute system and accelerating intelligent robot development.

The high-performance storage pool Sugon Storage built for Zhiyuan Robotics, with low latency, high performance, and intelligent operations as three strengths, strongly supports AI model training and data-asset accumulation and fully releases AI compute.

Sugon ParaStor distributed all-flash storage provides more than 500 GB/s aggregate read bandwidth, fully using AI training compute and maximizing training efficiency. Sugon’s distributed object-storage solution delivers 50,000 IOPS/OPS and 10 GB/s per bucket/node, enabling high-speed storage and archiving of unstructured data. The two systems together form a tiered storage architecture that can effectively lower TCO across the model-training lifecycle.

Sugon Storage’s intelligent-storage products are already in large-scale use in intelligent-computing centers, AI large models, embodied intelligence, autonomous driving, smart cities, and other AI scenarios. This partnership with Zhiyuan is another scenario breakthrough for Sugon Storage in AI innovation. Sugon will keep the industry spirit that “the strong endure,” refine technology and products, and continue to work with AI partners to release greater industrial potential with advanced storage capacity.
