Bain sells Chindata, which operates infrastructure

Software maker Chinasoft International Ltd. (0354.HK) on Thursday announced the launch of the first robotic operating system (OS) based on Huawei Technologies’ Harmony OS. Chinasoft said it co-developed the product, M-Robots OS, together with its associated company, Shenzhen Kaihong Digital Industry Development Co.

The OS allows for collaboration between various types of robots, including industrial robotic arms, assistive robots, and mobile work robots. It is based on OpenHarmony, an OS developed by Huawei, which created the system after being banned by the U.S. from using Google’s open Android OS.

“This milestone marks a new phase in China’s development of robot operating systems, characterized by multi-machine collaboration and swarm intelligence, and offers a pioneering ‘China Solution’ for the global robotics industry,” Chinasoft said in the announcement.

Chinasoft’s stock rose 3.3% on Thursday in Hong Kong.
