Running until August 12, the event is co-hosted by the Chinese Institute of Electronics (CIE) and the World Robot Cooperation Organization. This year’s conference highlights the latest trends in embodied intelligent robots and focuses on innovations with significant impact on the future of industry.
More than 200 robotics companies from China and abroad are participating, including ABB, KUKA, Festo, Estun, Unitree Robotics, CITIC Heavy Industries Co., and Galbot an increase of 25 percent compared to last year.
Debut of New Products and Application Scenarios
The 2025 conference serves as the launch platform for 100 new products nearly double the number from 2024. In addition to exhibitions, the event also features forums, competitions, and professional networking sessions.
At the WRC 2025 opening, organizers announced ten promising application scenarios for humanoid robots. These scenarios span general industry, automotive manufacturing, 3C products, shipbuilding, petrochemical inspection, power generation, emergency response, commercial services, household services, and agriculture.
Spotlight on Humanoid Robots
Humanoid robots are among the key attractions. Equipped with visual recognition systems, gripping capabilities, and high mobility, these robots can conduct quality inspections that enhance production efficiency across various sectors, including agriculture.
Since early 2025, demand for humanoid robots has surged rapidly in China. CIE data shows that in 2024, China accounted for two-thirds of all global patent applications for robots.
Record Number of Humanoid Robot Manufacturers Participating
CIE also revealed that 50 leading humanoid robot manufacturers are showcasing their latest technologies and solutions at this year’s event. This marks the highest number of humanoid robot exhibitors in the history of the conference highlighting the rapid advancement of robotics technology and the expanding role of humanoid robots in human life.
