At the same time, core component and key technology enterprises such as NSK, Laifu Harmonic, Lingxin Qiaoshou, Prusen Precision Bearing, Aerospace Xinli, Zhongyan Composite Materials, Friction X and Uniqconn exhibited on the same stage, covering key links including precision bearings, harmonic reducers, dexterous hands, motor drives, wireless connectivity and intelligent perception, providing strong support for improving robot body performance and enabling large-scale application. Companies including Huaxun Intelligence, LINEARK, Lebo Space, Jingdong Zhixing and Qingtian Zu focused on robot secondary development, system integration and scenario-based applications, demonstrating one-stop capabilities from body adaptation and function development to implementation and delivery around the needs of different industries. Four major themed forums held in succession to jointly explore the large-scale implementation of embodied intelligence. On the first day of the expo, the ROBOTECH 2026 on-site forums unfolded simultaneously around four core directions: technological innovation and supply chain collaboration, industrial intelligent manufacturing upgrading, commercial service implementation, and special extreme operations. Numerous guests from research institutes, robot enterprises, core component suppliers, testing institutions and industry application units took the stage in succession, with a packed audience and a lively atmosphere of exchange. At the 2026 Embodied Intelligence Technology Innovation and Supply Chain Collaboration Forum, representatives from units and enterprises including South China University of Technology, Shenhao Technology, Ruoyu Technology, NSK, the Humanoid Robot Scenario Application Alliance, United Imaging, Vkan Certification, Qingli Technology and LexisNexis delivered in-depth sharing on hot topics such as the integration of large models and robots, industrial embodied intelligence platforms, key components of humanoid robots, visual perception, testing and evaluation, long-life motors and overseas compliance, providing new ideas for technological breakthroughs and supply chain collaboration in the embodied intelligence industry. The 2026 Embodied Robot Industrial Intelligent Manufacturing Upgrading Forum focused on the key path for robots to truly enter factories. Representatives from enterprises including Amiao Robotics, SF Group, Haoling Robotics and UBTECH shared practical experience and replicable solutions in industrial scenarios around topics such as the large-scale implementation of embodied intelligence, exhibition logistics innovation, flexible loading and precision tightening on automotive production lines, and humanoid robot palletizing and handling.　　The 2026 Embodied Robot Commercial Service Implementation Forum held in the afternoon focused on innovative applications of embodied intelligence in commercial services and consumer scenarios. Guests from the Yuexiu District Artificial Intelligence Industry Association, Booster Robotics, Daxiang Antai and Qingtian Zu held discussions around directions such as AI general education, simulation service robots, cultural tourism performances and robot operation services, offering inspiration for commercial service robots to move from "showcase highlights" to "routine operations." The concurrently held 2026 Embodied Robot Special Extreme Operations Forum focused on robot applications in high-risk, complex and extreme environments. Representatives from enterprises including Qiteng Robotics and Yaoxing Technology shared cutting-edge practices around topics such as intelligent operation and maintenance for hazardous chemical enterprises and on-device embodied intelligence technologies at high-risk sites, demonstrating the unique value of special robots in safe production and extreme operation scenarios. Robot Carnival makes a hot appearance, immersive experience of future scenarios. In addition to the professional forums, the Qingtian Zu Intelligent Robot Carnival in Hall 7 also attracted many visitors to stop and participate. Through robot performances, interactive experiences and multi-scenario application displays, the venue allowed visitors to experience up close the innovative charm of embodied intelligence technology in commercial services, cultural entertainment, interactive experiences and scenario operations. Visiting the Flexiv South China Intelligent Manufacturing Base to explore the adaptive robot digital-intelligent production line on site. To promote industry exchange and precise matching of supply and demand, ROBOTECH 2026 also organized a visit to the Flexiv robot factory on its first day, leading professional visitors into the front line of the enterprise to learn up close about robot R&D and manufacturing, flexible automation and intelligent production line construction, and to deeply experience the integration practices of embodied intelligence technology and modern manufacturing systems. ROBOTECH 2026 not only displays robot products and cutting-edge technologies, but also helps visitors fully understand the implementation logic and commercial value of the embodied intelligence industry through real scenarios and immersive experiences.　　Multi-exhibition linkage breaks through the boundaries of cross-industry cooperation in embodied intelligence. Concurrently, ROBOTECH 2026 is held in linkage with NEPCON ASIA 2026, S-FACTORY Smart Factory and Automation Technology Exhibition, Vision China Shenzhen Machine Vision Exhibition, and Shenzhen International Intelligent Connected Vehicle Industry Exhibition AWC and other exhibition activities, connecting embodied intelligence with industrial resources in electronic manufacturing, machine vision, smart factories, automotive electronics and industrial automation. Through multi-exhibition coordination, ROBOTECH 2026 further links robot bodies, core components, perception systems, intelligent equipment and terminal application scenarios, building a cross-regional, cross-industry and cross-scenario cooperation and exchange platform for exhibitors and professional visitors, and helping the embodied intelligence industry accelerate its integration into the process of manufacturing upgrading and real economy transformation. The first day's highlights were too numerous to take in; tomorrow's agenda is equally worth anticipating. Tomorrow, the 2026 Embodied Intelligence Industry Trends and Product Capability Upgrading Forum and the 2026 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Robot Innovation Technology Forum and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Robot Technology Outstanding Contribution Award Ceremony will follow. Guests from fields including robot system integration, core components, visual perception, cloud computing power, humanoid robot innovation centers and industrial investment will share the stage and jointly witness the announcement of the results of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Robot Technology Outstanding Contribution selection. The excitement of ROBOTECH 2026 continues. From October 27 to 29, at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center (Bao'an), colleagues from the robot and intelligent manufacturing industries are welcome to visit the venue, explore new trends in the development of the embodied intelligence industry, and join us in the intelligent future!
