An Achiever of Common Good in Society

Creative Collaboration

HIWIN has long been involved in creative and inspiring cross-disciplinary co-creation events, fostering Taiwan’s soft power. Through the use of HIWIN products, the company collaborates on co-creation projects with the technology and education sectors as well as with artists.

In collaboration with the Contemporary Legend Theatre, we are using the newly acquired cultural and creative park, “Banqiao Broadcasting Station, ” as a base to blend traditional arts with technology for performances that offer educational culture, arts, and community enjoyment. Specifically, in the children’s paradise, “Parent-Child Technology and Arts Fusion Exhibition Hall, ” we are for the first time combining technology with traditional arts. In familiar scenes from “Journey to the West, ” Industrial Robots play roles and interact with Sun Wukong, creating engaging performances that make the story more immersive for children and deepen their understanding of Industrial Robots.

Trash Kitchen, established by MINIWIZ Sustainable Energy Development, offers an engaging approach to promoting sustainability through recycling. In collaboration with local businesses, designers, and the public, this project provides a comprehensive and user-friendly recycling experience, showcasing the next steps in the recycling process. By transforming disposable waste into sustainable materials for products, consumers are empowered to become producers, fostering participation in the circular economy and promoting zero waste through low-carbon actions.

At the heart of the Trash Kitchen is the integration of HIWIN’s RA610 Industrial Robots and XEG series electric gripper with the miniTRASHPRESSO, a recycling device developed by MINIWIZ Sustainable Energy Development. This automated machinery assists individuals in completing repetitive and high-risk tasks, effectively demonstrating the circular remanufacturing process through an automated exhibit. The primary objective of this project is to inspire everyone to contribute to environmental protection.

Since 2018, HIWIN has been supporting the Kaohsiung National Science and Technology Museum in promoting science education, committed to advancing the idea of “technology in daily life, daily life in technology.” From 2018 to 2023, HIWIN set up an “Industrial Robots” exhibition area in the “Power and Machinery Hall” on the 2nd floor of the museum. The HIWIN team made the complex knowledge and principles of industrial robots accessible to the public by incorporating hands-on operations and interactive games. From 2024 to 2029, the exhibition is planned to be upgraded to the “Smart Manufacturing Area – Industrial Robots 2.0.” This upgrade will not only enhance the existing equipment and applications but also add trending topics like semiconductor industry applications and ESG sustainability education. The goal is to provide visitors with a fresh and engaging experience, sparking interest in learning and enhancing scientific literacy.

Robear Twins is located next to the Labor Service Center in the Precision Machinery Technology Innovation Park in Taichung City. HIWIN and HIWIN MIKROSYSTEM contributed self-made key components for the installation. The robots can perform delicate movements like waving, head patting, and rotating. In 2021, HIWIN took the initiative to adopt and maintain the installation, adding a festive atmosphere during Christmas and New Year. Every day, Robear Twins energetically change their poses, waving hello to colleagues at the busy key scientific intersection and welcoming a brand new day.
