In order to implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's congratulatory letter to the first World Robot Conference, under the guidance and support of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the China Association for Science and Technology, and the Beijing Municipal People's Government, the World Robot Conference has been committed to gathering the strength of the global scientific and industrial community since its first meeting in 2015, actively promoting the integration and development of robot technology innovation and industrial innovation. It has become a "innovation leading event", "industry promoting event", and "international cooperation event" in the global robot field, and has become a promoter, participant, and witness of robots empowering thousands of industries and entering thousands of households and landscapes.

The World Robot Conference has been held continuously since 2015 and has entered its eleventh year, witnessing the development of China's robot industry from small to large and from large to strong. It has become a "innovation leading event", "industry promotion event", "organizational cohesion event", and "international cooperation event" in the global robot field. This conference will further focus on "artificial intelligence+robots", and promote international and domestic cooperation around cutting-edge technology trends, industrial development trends, application field exploration, standard system construction, talent cultivation and training, etc. China has rich scenarios and vast markets, and robots will have strong development momentum and growth space. The World Robot Conference looks forward to all parties working together to create a gathering of global intelligence The robot event of Huiqing, seeking development opportunities, and deepening industry exchanges will write a new chapter in the future development of the robot industry.

◆ Review of the previous session

Looking back at the 2025 World Robot Conference, with the theme of "making robots smarter and bodies smarter", it has attracted numerous top experts and companies from both domestic and foreign countries to participate. The main forum is divided into three sections: "Innovative Application of Industrial Development" and "Technological Integration". Over 400 top scientists, representatives of international organizations, academicians, and entrepreneurs from home and abroad will give keynote speeches, engage in high-end dialogues, and showcase their achievements in the field of robotics, delving into cutting-edge technological trends, industry trends, application practices, and innovative achievements.

The Innovation Hall, Application Hall, and Technology Hall of the Expo are home to over 200 outstanding domestic and foreign robotics companies. Among them, 50 humanoid robot complete machine enterprises showcased their latest exhibits and industry solutions, setting a new record for the number of humanoid robot complete machine enterprises participating in similar exhibitions, fully demonstrating the booming development trend of the humanoid robot field. The World Robot Competition, held simultaneously, consists of three major events: the Inclusive Robot Challenge, BCI Brain Controlled Robot Competition, and Youth Robot Design Competition. It has attracted more than 10000 elite racers from over 6000 teams from more than 10 countries around the world to compete on site, showcasing the unique charm and innovative vitality of robot competition. In addition, the conference held 31 sessions of the 2026 World Robot Conference and Expo, focusing on innovative robot application scenarios, international cooperation, technological breakthroughs, standard testing, investment and financing, academic seminars, and industrial talent cultivation. It is expected to continue the high level and specifications of previous conferences, covering industrial robots and applications (industrial robot bodies, multi degree of freedom robots, parallel robots, coordinate robots, robotic arms, etc.), humanoid robots (humanoid robot bodies, humanoid robot joint modules, robot key components), service robots (educational robots, home robots, entertainment robots, medical robots, environmental robots, bionic robots, etc.) Special robots (underwater robots, firefighting robots, space robots, engineering robots, agricultural robots, explosion-proof mine clearance robots, rescue robots, etc.) as well as robot functional components and key parts (servo systems, controllers, reducers, sensors, dexterous hands, machine vision, LiDAR, AGV, 3D printing, etc.). Numerous cutting-edge achievements and innovative applications in the field of robotics are expected to be showcased here, providing new ideas and directions for the development of the global robotics industry, and further promoting the deep application and innovative development of robotics technology in various industries.
