Luobo Zhikong’s Drones and Greenhouse Robots Debut at the Shouguang Vegetable Expo, Smart Agriculture Demonstration Becomes the Spotlight of the Event

On the morning of April 20, the 27th China (Shouguang) International Vegetable Science and Technology Expo (hereinafter referred to as the “Vegetable Expo”) officially opened. The exhibition is being held from April 20 to May 30 at the Shouguang Vegetable High-tech Demonstration Park in Weifang, Shandong Province, spanning a total of 40 days.

More than 500 domestic and international enterprises are participating in this year’s expo, featuring nearly 1,000 specially designed and standard exhibition booths. More than 20 high-level forums and thematic events are being held concurrently, comprehensively showcasing the vitality of new-quality productive forces in modern agriculture.

The main exhibition area covers a total of 450,000 square meters, including 11 indoor exhibition halls, high-yield greenhouse cultivation zones, a vegetable museum, and outdoor exhibition areas. Closely aligned with the core development of the vegetable industry, the expo fully leverages Shouguang’s advantages as “China’s Hometown of Vegetables,” bringing together new technologies, new varieties, new achievements, and new concepts from the global vegetable industry and related sectors.

Committed to serving agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, this year’s Vegetable Expo further strengthened its technological focus and highlighted the empowerment of digital intelligence. More than 2,600 vegetable varieties from China and abroad are being showcased, including over 400 new varieties. The expo also deepened collaboration among national-level industry, academia, and research institutions by establishing a dedicated thematic exhibition area for the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Hall 5. The exhibition centrally presents cutting-edge national research achievements in core fields such as biological breeding, integrated green pest control, water-saving and fertilizer-saving cultivation technologies, further bridging laboratory innovation with large-scale agricultural production.

The smart agriculture demonstration section has undergone a comprehensive upgrade, with the newly optimized Digital Agriculture Showcase in Hall 10 becoming a major attraction. A full range of agricultural robots — including intelligent spraying robots, intelligent pollination robots, and intelligent inspection robots — are deployed on a regular basis. Newly introduced vegetable-specific planting robots and AI-powered intelligent cultivation decision-making models tailored to local farming scenarios are also featured.

Through ALL DAY live demonstrations, visitors can observe the entire intelligent agricultural workflow, including multi-sensor integrated navigation, intelligent environmental perception, automated harvesting and sorting, and smart pest and disease tracing and identification. The exhibition demonstrates a fully integrated intelligent management model, setting a benchmark for industrialized, standardized, and unmanned vegetable cultivation.

As the core smart agriculture equipment enterprise under IBI, Luobo Zhikong made a high-profile appearance with its IBI series agricultural drones and greenhouse robots, becoming one of the key highlights of the smart agriculture demonstration area at this year’s expo.

The Luobo Zhikong IBI series agricultural drones are equipped with a 360-degree laser compound-eye obstacle avoidance system and feature high payload capacity, fast charging with extended endurance, and highly efficient spraying and spreading capabilities. The drones can accurately perform a full range of agricultural operations, including field crop protection, pollination, crop growth monitoring, and pest and disease tracing.

Meanwhile, the greenhouse robots intelligently adjust droplet size to ensure uniform pesticide coverage on both sides of plant leaves. Combined with autonomous navigation and intelligent sensing technologies, the robots establish a model for standardized and unmanned crop protection operations inside greenhouses.

These two intelligent equipment solutions effectively address key challenges in vegetable crop protection through advanced technology, helping farmers reduce costs, improve efficiency, and promote green prevention and control measures. They fully demonstrate the power of new-quality productive forces in agriculture while providing strong support for the digital upgrading of Shouguang’s entire vegetable industry chain.

Empowering fertile land with technology and illuminating modern farming with intelligence — from exhibition halls to farmland, from intelligent drones to greenhouse crop-protection robots, Luobo Zhikong is reshaping traditional vegetable cultivation models through digital technology and injecting new momentum into the upgrading of Shouguang’s full industrial chain as “China’s Hometown of Vegetables.”

The implementation of new technologies, application of advanced equipment, and popularization of innovative agricultural models represent not only a profound transformation in agricultural production methods, but also a vivid demonstration of new-quality productive forces taking root and flourishing in modern agriculture.

As the tide of innovation rises in Shouguang, Luobo Zhikong will continue to safeguard green farming practices and empower industrial efficiency through innovation, advancing together toward a new era of high-quality development in China’s smart agriculture industry.
