On May 7, the 5th Yangtze River Delta International Emergency Disaster Reduction and Rescue Expo opened at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. Under the theme High-Level Safety Supports High-Quality Development — Emergency Response Is All Around Us, the expo brought together leading organisations and professionals from the global emergency response and rescue sector.
At this highly anticipated industry event, Mingming Robotics showcased its flagship ZC-380 Pro and ZC-780 special-purpose robots, together with a range of core top modules, including thermal imaging and 3D LiDAR systems. The exhibit comprehensively demonstrated our advanced technological capabilities in emergency rescue, security reconnaissance and hazardous-environment inspection.
With its compact, lightweight design, rapid deployment capability and ability to traverse complex terrain, the ZC-380 Pro portable intelligent reconnaissance robot is ideal for missions such as confined-space reconnaissance, close-proximity detection in hazardous areas and post-disaster environmental assessment.
During the critical golden window of an emergency response, the ability to see clearly and assess conditions accurately can determine the success of a rescue operation. At the exhibition, the ZC-380 Pro demonstrated integrated operation with a thermal imaging module, enabling personnel detection and situational awareness in complex environments.
Conventional cameras can become completely ineffective in dense smoke or dark underground spaces. Equipped with a thermal imaging module, however, the ZC-380 Pro can overcome these visual barriers and accurately identify heat sources and the body-heat signatures of trapped individuals from a safe distance, helping rescuers make every second count.
The ZC-780 portable tracked all-terrain robotic platform highlighted its enhanced obstacle-crossing performance, payload expansion capability and adaptability to multiple missions. At disaster sites where structures have shifted or in unknown hazardous spaces, the ZC-780 can be equipped with an optional modular 3D LiDAR top module to support environmental modelling and the collection of spatial data in complex environments.
Acting as a digital-twin navigator at disaster sites, the robot provides clear and reliable data support for emergency search and rescue, hazardous-area inspection and underground-space exploration.
In the face of disaster, these robots serve as steel first responders, moving toward danger and entering the most hazardous areas in place of humans while keeping rescue personnel out of harm’s way.
The exhibition was bustling with visitors, and the Mingming Robotics booth became a focal point for many industry professionals. It attracted experts from emergency management, firefighting and rescue organisations, among other fields.
Visitors showed strong interest not only in the product design and modular capabilities of the ZC-380 Pro and ZC-780, but also engaged in in-depth discussions with our team, drawing on frontline experience to explore how robots can play a greater role at complex disaster sites.
Built for Hard Missions, Protecting Safety Through Technology is more than Mingming Robotics’ brand mission—it is the principle that guides everything we do.
From routine inspections in hazardous areas to confined-space search and rescue after earthquakes, every conversation at the expo gave us valuable insight into real-world operational needs and deepened our understanding of practical Robotics + Emergency Response applications.
Looking ahead, Mingming Robotics will continue to explore the full potential of special-purpose robots and contribute its technology, expertise and innovation to the advancement of public safety and emergency rescue.
