The China Conference on Intelligent Robots (CCIR) 2025 was successfully held in Nanjing from October 14 to 16. Organized by the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAAI) and co-organized by its Technical Committee on Intelligent Robots, CCIR stands as one of the most influential academic conferences in the robotics field in China. Having been held consecutively for 18 sessions, it has established a vital platform for exchange and collaboration within the intelligent robotics community.
To recognize outstanding young talents who have made significant contributions to the field of intelligent robotics, the 2025 China Intelligent Robotics Rising Star Award ceremony was grandly held during this year's conference. Following a preliminary review, on-site presentations, and a final evaluation by a committee chaired by academicians based on both application materials and live performance, Bing Zhenshan, a tenure-track associate professor from our school, was honored with the 2025 China Intelligent Robotics Academic Rising Star Award.
Bing Zhenshan, a Doctor of Engineering, has been selected for the National High-level Youth Talent Program. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Harbin Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. from Technical University of Munich in Germany, under the supervision of Professor Alois Knoll, an academician of the German Academy of Engineering. His main research directions are intelligent control of robots and bionic robots.
He proposed a bionic rat robot with a flexible spine, revealing the key role of the spine in enhancing the locomotive ability of quadrupeds. The first author's work was published in Science Robotics and featured on the homepage of Science. His related research on biological interaction was published in Nature Machine Intelligence. The lifelong learning algorithm he proposed was first author published in Nature Machine Intelligence and IEEE TPAMI, and was evaluated by Nature editors as a highly promising direction for the future of embodied intelligence research. He has led a National Natural Science Foundation of China Youth Project, Sino-German cooperation and exchange, and the German Future Information Technology Innovation program, and participated in the EU flagship project Human Brain Project. He is currently an associate editor of IEEE TNNLS and other journals and ICRA, IROS and other conferences. He has won seven best paper awards at international conferences and has demonstrated outstanding originality and international influence in the field of embodied intelligence.
