The technical barriers of robot development are about to be completely broken! At the first partner conference of Zhiyuan Robotics, co-founder and CTO Zhihui Jun (Peng Zhihui) officially launched the LinkCraft platform. This innovative tool, hailed as a "killer application" for robot secondary development, will allow every ordinary user to become a "robot director."
Zhigui Jun directly pointed out the pain points in the current robotics industry: although there are various impressive robot performance videos online, upon closer inspection, most robots' movements are repetitive. The reason is simple—robot movement development requires deep technical expertise, and only professionals can handle it. Ordinary users can only passively wait for limited OTA updates from manufacturers.

The emergence of the LinkCraft platform has completely overturned this situation. This AI-driven creative tool makes robot movement programming as simple and intuitive as making a video. Users just need a humanoid robot and can easily master various new movements through the LinkCraft platform, without any complex training process.
The platform's operating interface is a model of user-friendliness: the left action selection area allows users to freely choose the desired action templates, while the right real-time preview window instantly displays the effect. This "what you see is what you get" design philosophy has almost brought the barrier to robot programming to zero.
Even more impressive is the powerful function library of the LinkCraft platform. The platform already includes hundreds of standardized action templates and promises continuous updates and expansions. Users can even upload their own action videos, and the AI will intelligently recognize and automatically convert them into executable robot action instructions. This means that users' creativity is no longer limited to pre-set templates, and everyone can create unique robot performances.
The platform's audio matching feature is another highlight of technological innovation. After users upload an audio file, the AI can automatically generate robot movements that perfectly match the music beat and emotional tone, truly achieving emotional resonance between robots and humans. This function transforms robots from cold execution tools into expressive artistic carriers.
The timeline has been confirmed: the beta version of the LinkCraft platform will officially launch in October this year, initially compatible with the humanoid robot Lingxi X2 from Zhiyuan. Zhigui Jun revealed that the team plans to gradually expand the platform's compatibility to cover more types of robot products.
This technological breakthrough has far-reaching significance. It not only allows professional developers to create robot content more efficiently but more importantly opens the door to robot creation for ordinary users. From now on, everyone can become a "director" in the robot world, injecting unique souls into robots with their own creativity.
